New Dreamcast Releases to come (Commercial Homebrew)

**Dull Blade** · August 20th, 2007, 21:18

RedSpotGames, the publishers of the NeoGeo / Dreamcast game 'Last hope' are to be publishing 2 new games in the first quarter of 2008!!! This console just wont give up.

With the opening up of specially made Dreamcast development kits, the console that just wouldn't die is showing just how much life it really has left in the little system. It may be getting dated now, but for independent developers, the options the Dreamcast opens up are endless.

RedSpotGames, publishers of the recently released NG: Dev.Team's Last Hope for the NEO GEO and Sega Dreamcast, have announced their intentions to show off two new games for Sega's console at the Leipzig Games Convention.

The first title is Dalforce, a vertical shooter with 11 levels and a 4 player mode. The publishers promise a unique scoring system, intense bullet patterns, and huge bosses. No further details are given at this time, but we should get the first screens and perhaps a video or two this weekend when the game is shown off.

The second Dreamcast game being showcased by the company at Leipzig is Wind and Water Puzzle Battles developed by Yuan Works. This is a port of the GP2X Arcade/Action/Puzzle game that is available for pre-order at the game's official GP2X site here (the GP2X version will also be showcased at Leipzig as well). According to RedSpotGames, the Dreamcast port will feature a 4 player mode (as opposed to the GP2X 2 players) and exclusive secret characters.

Both of the games will be released in the first quarter 2008. There is no word yet on the pricing or distribution sources for the two titles. For more information on RedSpotGames, their official website is currently in the process of being updated here.

Yes

The last official Dreamcast game was released in March 8th 2007, on Japan. It's still possible to see more official releases.

The Dreamcast is the only sixth-generation console which gets commercial homebrew games, and they are amazing. There are a lot of games announced for this year and 2008. This thread is talking about commercial homebrew games
