Sega to Release New Dreamcast Bundle?

Posted by Zonk on from the dead-console-walking dept.

Craig writes "Is Sega planning to release a new bundle for the supposed commercially dead Dreamcast Console? According to Many Dreamcast sites it will be bundled with a new commercial game and released sometime in February. Engadget has commentary and speculation." From the Engadget site: "... German gaming site Gamefront.de is claiming they're going to be re-releasing the frickin' Dreamcast bundled with Radilgy and some limited edition telephone card or something. But our wish come true from the Ghost of Hackable Consoles Past will probably be Japan-only though, distributed through Sega Direct for ¥10,000 (about $83 US) -- still, could this be the triumphant return of Sega hardware, even if only just nostalgia-gear?"

    Sounds like we're being a little loose with the word "triumphiant".

    I realize the articles refer to a Japan release. Since the US Dreamcast used market is officially over in Gamestop/EB, this wouldn't be a very good item to buy in the US. Still, perhaps a Flashback-like device would be more appropriate. Hell, give it a cheap 10gb hard drive and make all games downloadable, then license it as a "Phantom."

    Doesn't this mean that the Dreamcast was the first and last console released for the current (pre-360) generation?
