Bitmob report the Dreamcast’s 10-year anniversary just got a little more exciting. Redspotgames, a publisher that thankfully didn’t get the memo about the system’s demise, has just announced a new game for the Sega Dreamcast. That’s right; Rush Rush Rally Racing will be hitting Amazon and eBay’s virtual store shelves this October for the low price of $22. I can’t believe I’m actually typing these words in 2009, but you can pre-order this Dreamcast game now via the publisher’s website. Rush Rush Rally Racing is an old-school, 2D, top-down, arcade-racing game for up to four players. The trailer, which you can watch after the jump, boasts “No realistic backgrounds. No sponsored cars. Only fun, retro gameplay.” Who knows if RRRR will be any good or not, but the gameplay in the trailer does look pretty darn entertaining. [ame= - Rush Rush Rally Racing for Sega Dreamcast - Official Trailer[/ame] Here’s a list of features direct from the developer (their words, not ours!) if you’re dying to know more about the game: - Single-player grand prix mode with four difficulty levels - Three multiplayer modes to enjoy with up to four players - Five race cars to choose from - 10 Grand Prix race tracks - 9 additional multiplayer race tracks - Awesome soundtrack by Black Device - Autosave to VMU (any port, file uses just 2 blocks) - Region-free - Rumble pack support - Compatible with original Dreamcast pads, arcade stick, and third-party controllers - Supports PAL (50/60 Hz), NTSC, and VGA displays - Configurable controls and many other options - Animated cut scenes - Plus even more unlockable content! - New: Online high score! If this came to XBLA I would probably buy it, there’s a lack of 4 player games on one console and this looks alright.
I never thought I would see a new Dreamcast game come out. I thought those systems were long dead and buried. Glad to see that people still enjoy that generation of consoles. A new Nintendo 64 game would be nice too .
I would really like to see a new PS1 or N64 game. I really don't know why they picked Dreamcast for this. They pick the least played console and the least bought one (Only including PS1, N64, DC).
