Got-Next.com has interviewed Hiroyuki Maruyama the president of G.rev (Border Down, Under Defeat). Its and interesting interview, below I have quoted the questions/answers about the Dreamcast
<blockquote>
GN: How would you feel about making a console-exclusive title without any arcade release?
HM: It's not out of the question at some point, but for the time being, we don't intend to. If Under Defeat was a console original, and it weren't billed as "the last game for the Dreamcast", it's probably safe to say that in Japan, few people would've noticed it, and it would've quietly disappeared.
GN: Some were surprised to see Under Defeat released for the Sega Dreamcast. Are you happy with the game's sales performance on DC, and do you think it will be made available for other systems in the future?
HM: We weren't planning on it selling much to begin with, so it did surpass our expectations. In the future (at least a year down the road), I can't rule out a port to another console, but at the moment there are no plans to do so. Besides, if we had that kind of time we'd rather just make a new game.
GN: Do you think there's a possibility of future releases for the Dreamcast from G.rev?
HM: Again, it's not out of the question, but it's not our decision alone to make, so it would be very difficult.
Under Defeat was also billed as the "final" Dreamcast release. If we look like we bailed out, then came back just because it sold well, I think that would actually be an insult to Dreamcast players.
</blockquote>
Does this mean that Under Defeat could be the dreamcast's last official game? I hope not...
