As a follow up to last weeks special about the very beginning of the Official Dreamcast Magazine in the UK, this week we focus on the mini version of issue zero that was distributed a short while before the full sized issue zero reached the store shelves of your local news agent.
Keep in mind that this mini issue was only about 1/3 the size of the actual magazine so our 'Max-Rez' version will not have a horizontal width of 2400 pixels, but instead only be 1700 pixels wide.
Also, due to the fact of this being more of a flyer than an actual magazine, we don't have any preview articles online, yet you are still able to download the magazine in it's entirety, which is sure to give you a little taste of great things to come.

In total the numbers fell from ¥395,502m to ¥321,407m. Operating income dropped 67.3 per cent to ¥19,073m.
However, a number of factors including sales of investment securities, employee pension fund changes, subsidiary liquidations and tax issues led to a 53.3 per cent jump in net income to ¥33,460m.
Net sales at the company’s consumer business (home to its video games operations) fell two per cent to ¥84,740m while operating losses fell from ¥15,182m in 2012 to ¥732m.
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed was the company’s best selling game in the period, shifting 1.36m units in the US and Europe. Aliens: Colonial Marines lagged just behind with 1.31m sales.
Football Manager 2013 has sold 940k copies while Olympic tie-in London 2012 sold 680k.
Digital sales accounted for 46 per cent of the company’s overall software output. Sega expects roughly the same in its current financial year.
Sega Sammy predicts a moderate recovery for the Japanese economy in the year ahead although the company has pledged to “rationalise” its packaged game software business “in an effort to establish a structure that can consistently generate profit”.
It also expressed its intentions to publish on next-generation consoles and to “address the expanding market for new content in the field of digital game software”.
It predicts a 50.9 per cent jump in net sales and a 282.7 per cent increase in operating income for the current financial year.

Each week they choose consoles of each generation and put them in a no holds barred match to see who the lucky victor will be. Well its week 4 of this awesome competition and you have a choice between Game Cube, Xbox, PS2 and of course our beloved Dreamcast. Do you know who is in the lead.

It's surprising what you discover if you take a little time to look around as we did with our videogame magazine collection. It's also even more surprising if you happen to come across a rather rare dummy issue of a Dreamcast Magazine. And we don't mean the issue zero or preview issues that are floating around the web in a pretty poorly scanned fashion. We're talking about the blueprint of a magazine that would come away with the official Sega Dreamcast magazine licence. This was a fascinating discovery and we felt compelled to learn more, so who better to ask than Mark Higham, the editor-in-chief and the man who was brought in to produce the Official Dreamcast Magazine for Dennis Publishing. ]]> SEGA Dreamcast News Forum wraggster http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/threads/550725-From-Dummy-Issues-to-Official-Dreamcast-Magazines http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/threads/549242-You-gotta-go-fast-on-the-new-treadmill-based-Sonic-arcade-game?goto=newpost Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:00:36 GMT Image:...]]> Sonic Athletics is a new arcade game at Sega's Joypolis park that uses a control scheme that seems obvious, even natural for a Sonic game: running. The giant machine uses eight side-by-side treadmills to compete in 100 meter dash, long jump, and 110 meter hurdles. You won't have to make yourself ill trying to do spin jumps, as that's handled by a button.

The ¥500 ($5.11) attraction seems a lot more sensible than Sonic's last attemptat motion controls. Even if playing it results in spending the rest of your day at the Tokyo amusement park covered in sweat.

Its been well over a decade and one of the first games to show the Dreamcasts online features was a game called Planet Ring. Its features were kind of unique kind of like what the Xbox 360 brings us. You were able to live chat with a mic, send messages to friends and play some mini games. Well it seems I have found a video lurking the web created by Neoblast himself from the IberDC team at Dreamcast.es. It seems to be a teaser of him being able to connect online. There isn't much he shows us in the video other then some of the basic features but I am guessing there will be a future trailer and patch release to allow you to play the once dead Planet Ring online again.

Now I am sure that this project probably wasn't just created by Neoblast himself he probably had helping hands from Indiket as well please check out the teaser below.
