Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The Dreamcast is dead. The American public drove a stake through its heart, Sony decapitated it, and Sega stuffed its mouth full of garlic. As we watched it burst into flames six years ago, I had a feeling we hadn't seen the last of it and much like the subject of this metaphor, Sega's failed console is back (and possibly thirsty for blood).

French developer The Alice Company has been working on a title by the name of Dynamite Dreams. As you can see from the above video the game looks like a low rent Bomberman clone, but when your console can only be resurrected by bathing in the exsanguinated fluid of virgins, you take what you can get.

Personally, I love the Dreamcast. Behind the original Genesis, it's my favorite console of all time, and while the PlayStation 2 saw some amazing games, I think had the DC not being Helsing'd so early in its life, it would have served as a fertile platform for the sort of bizarre, creative gameplay we saw in titles like Jet Grind Radio and Power Stone. No matter how Dynamite Dreams turns out, we applaud The Alice Company for rolling the stone away from the Dreamcast's tomb, if only so that I could tie this post into my current viewing of The Lost Boys.

that looks like shit.

i love my dreamcasts, but seriously, why would you code for it for profit? the psp is just as accessible to homebrew devs, still in circulation, and available to customers. this is just a stupid move.

Wow, I love the Dreamcast, but why would anyone play this when the definitive Bomberman is already on Saturn? (Excepting the Bombertoid of course.)

Then stone hasn't been on the tomb that long.

There were a couple games that mad it to retail in Japan last year, Karous and Trigger Heart Excellica.

I love how a couple Dreamcast games still come out every year, it definitely gets me playing my Dreamcast again. I really want to get my hands on Trigger Heart Excellia, too.

They need to make more DC games! That'd be fun, I miss the console.

It would be all kinds of fun to crack open a new Dreamcast game, but the trailer looks really, really bad...

@KnuxSonic

Propeller Arena? Despite being officially cancelled the full, gone gold version was leaked all over the internet and it's relatively easy to find. There are literally tons of incredible Dreamcast games, that console will never die. :D

I sold my Dreamcast about the time it was declared dead the first time. I have regretted that move every day that I see the words "dreamcast."

Sometimes I fire up my DC to play a little Crazy Taxi or something.

The confused and overjoyed "beeeeep" from my VMU warms the heart. It sounds like they woke up in the middle of August to find their parents decided it was Christmas.

I thought they only made SHMUPS for the system that won't die.
