Maybe sega is going to make another handheld. Imagine all the old sega games in one little system. That would be schveet.

Hrm I don't know about that. The article says,"Sega of America today invited the press to a special event on the morning of May 12, at which it will reveal "BIG news you'd NEVER guess." ". The announcement is being made by SOA, not SOE...and it will be done on 5/12, not 4/30. I have my doubts.

If it is the same news, then Sega = teh suck.

If not that, then it may very well be MMORPG of Phantasy Star.

I'm going on a limb and saying that the announcement of Outrun 2 isn't exactly BIG NEWS that you'd NEVER guess.

Just a matter of time before it gets leaked out... before the actual announcement.

I highly doubt a DC2 with backwards compatibilty to the original DC games.

Maybe a Shining Force MMORPG?

I do not have the ability to cast a dream, let alone do it twice and sell it to millions of people.

Big News?
1. Microsoft or Nintendo buys Sega.
2. Sega portable or DC2 - I am SOOOOOOO THEREEEEE if this is true!!! :D
I had a dreamcast, and loved the games on it. It finally broke late last year.

AFAIK, Sega has completely shut down it's hardware portion. So I doubt it will be a DC2... but what about the chances that they are going to start making games for the original DC again?

With all the games cross-platforming nowadays, a DC system won't have the same competitive advantage appeal as it did in the old days with its exclusive titles.

Today, the profit is in cross-platforming games.

Sega a great content provider.....it has been proven time and again that hardware console manufacturing is a risky potential money losing prospective.

The money is in the content folks! ;) Sega has learned this the hard way. There will be no future DC2.....they would be looney to do so.

it is not going to be dreamcast 2. sega, as a hardware company, no longer even exists. they only exist in the software department.
