Sega to Release New Dreamcast Bundle?

Posted by Zonk on Monday December 12, 2005 @04:47AM 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?"

A group of people DID make an open-source-friendly, Linux-based handheld game console called the GP2X, a successor to the GP32. It rocks. Two 200MHz CPUs (one acts as a 2D GPU), emulates pretty much everything up to SNES (and PSX very very slowly). 3.5" screen, 8 buttons and an 8-way dpad.
