Dreamcast 2?!

Look and wait.

The new Dreamcast 2 don't must be a kind of new hardware that cost so much... what about to give at Dreamcast thes things to be superior... there only need more ram. usb, flas and dvd capabilites... there is what nintendo do with the Wii upgrade his Cube and say "Hey you don't need more power, or graphics... you need to play video games"

The Dreamcast is a good machine by itself but if Sega take the olds dreamcast and give these options (ram, flash, harddisk, usb, DVD) Think in the chance... (in fact they can aproach the olds dreamcast to do it... )

yeah the dreamcast was one of the best consoles i have ever owned. i still own it in fact. i have nearly every console under the son not got go a ps 3 yet but then not prepared to pay £300 for a console whos good games i can get on 360 anyway. i wish sega still had there own console though cause they always pushed things forward if it was not for the dreamcast i would not be enjoying xbox live today. also when the dreamcast was there it made sega push out triple A title after triple A title and if there was a dreamcast 2 sega would push out triple A title after triple A title again which would save me owning multiple consoles. But unfortuntly sega is not got the money to pump into a console. i wish they had because it would be great.

I too want a Sega Dreamcast 2... 9/9/9.. Sega is secretly working on a surprise launch?

I see a niche that has no current console to cover it. The empty spot in the market is for a console with a traditional controller and is made for great graphics on a standard definition television. Oh wait...yep. The Dreamcast did this.
Okay. A new Dreamcast wish list would contain a slightly beefier video chip and audio chip, a faster processor, a quieter cooling fan and a network adapter, (all these things are much cheaper today than they were when the DC was first produced).

Sega could crunch numbers on this:
Dedicated user base of fans
Catalog of great games that could be re-released
Console could be cheap to produce, (not going for HD or competing for "best" new console)
Excellent vehicle to re-release classic SMS and SG and SCD and SS games to
Unreleased and mostly done games could cheaply be finished and marketed to the DC2
New games should be cheaper to develop for this system than for the 360/PS3 and possibly the Wii
No need to heavily market; "If you build it, they will come".

i freaking love sonic<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 i would be thrilled if dreamcast2 existed

I'M DEF FOR A NEW DREAMCAST!!! This time they should focus on better games. Right now the PS3, Wii, and xbox offer unique games to each system. If the new dreamcast 2 were to come out it would also have to be distinct from the other video game systems

Sega NFL 2k. The ability to call plays in multi-player mode from the VMU is what made the Dreamcast my all time favorite console. Instead of doing a Dreamcast 2, why not just run a limited production quantity with it's top titles and release it for us true DC lovers.

I think Sega could be holding out for a good few more years then bring out new hardware then they will bring shenmue 3 out on the new hardware to amp people to buy it
