We've been hearing rumors about digital Dreamcast games since forever, but some brand new evidence appears to categorically suggest that both Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure are en route to Xbox Live Arcade. This is amidst further "confirmations" of Doom II, Metal Slux XX and Quake Arena.
A member of the Digiex Forums posted a batch of screenshorts purported to be nabbed from a dev kit 360. Just for good measure, he revealed Sonic 4's Super Sonic as well. The screens themselves all look rather genuine, and since the rumors about Sonic Adventure on XBLA have been consistently coming in for several months, it's not hard to believe at all.
I'd say it's a given that Sonic Adventure is coming to XBLA and more Dreamcast games will follow, especially since the last "rumor" pretty much confirmed it. I am looking forward to it as well. There are some classic games out there that never got the spotlight they deserved. A second chance to shift a few more copies is welcome.

I look forward to nabbing them.
I would be shamelessly butthurt if they did that.
Would love to see Power Stone and Jet Set Radio too!
@ Sanious - HELL YES. I actually just got JSRF from Goozex. It's such an awesome game.
This.
Also, Sonic Adventure's actually a pretty cool game. It certainly doesn't deserve all the hate that gets thrown at it. In fact when it came out on the Dreamcast everyone loved it - it's only since it's rerelease on the Gamecube that everyone starting flinging crap at it.
I'll be both of them up - despite already owning both on the Dreamcast. Gotta show some Dreamcast love after all. Plus, the more support - the more games we're likely to see.
Also, skies of Arcadia and Shenmue would be nice.
More realistically, I think Seaman could be adapted for use with the headset.
Me's want a little Ferrari F355 Challenge loving, with force support.
And if the Saturn joined the throng: Radiant Silvergun I would gladly pay... ooh, 1200msp for.
