UPDATE: Sega Confirms Dreamcast Collection Release Next Month

– January 14, 2011

With Titles Already Available on XBOX Live

Sega’s going to try a different kind of re-release next month, bringing two Dreamcast era titles already on XBOX Live to retail, plus two more.

It is the Dreamcast Collection, and it affirms something formally discussed in December. In addition to Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, and Space Channel 5 Part 2, another Dreamcast classic Sega Bass Fishing will join the fold. This will be the second Sonic title released in 2011, and also the second re-released Sonic title for 2011.

The collection will be available for XBOX 360 via retail, as well as for the PC–both with online leaderboards in tow. UPDATE: Via a news tip, Dreamcast360 tells us this will be a PC download only title–so get that Steam platform ready!

The worldwide rollout for Dreamcast collection will be the week of February 20th, first in North America on the 22nd, then the 24th in Australia, wrapped up with a February 25th release in Europe and New Zealand.

For the complete presser, visit Segabits, who picked up the confirmation first.

Well this is really good news for people like me who couldn’t afford a Xbox with a lot of memory.
I have the Arcade and yeah, 250mb or whatever cannot even let me keep at least one of those games downloaded in the system because they are at least 1GB.

Im happy that Crazy Taxi and space Channel 5 got some love, instead of cramming both sonic adventures into one package. Hopefully they’ll get sequels soon.

@Cero: I think it would be cool to have both Adventures on the same disc though. Maybe that’s just me.

I’ll probably get this just for the achievements. The combined achievements lists of each game only reaches 850 points. As retail games need 1000, they’ll either add new achievements or give the existing ones bigger values.

Lame.

Maybe it´s not an entire retail title, there are other XBLA compilations out there without 1000 gamerscore.

I hope they still plan to release Space Channel 5 on the arcade. I was looking forward to that and i already have Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi for my Xbox.

Judging from the situation and these comments, I’m going to predict that Sonic Adventure 2 on the Xbox Live and PSN will be just like Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the iPhone.

Oh wait…..

I wanna see SA2 on that disc, SA1 is good and all but it was re-released more times

Sega, you’ve given us Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure International, then you released a port of the game for the Gamecube, PC, and Xbox Live. How about you give us something a little different, like… oh I don’t know, SONIC ADVENTURE 2?!?! Phew, now that I got THAT out of my system, MARIO AND SONIC CROSSOVER!!

SA2 re-release for the Anniversary, calling it now. Oh man, how mad would you be if that was their ‘big plan’ for the 20th?

I really feel as if Sega’s missing their chance to get the nagging curiousity of people who haven’t played the Dreamcast to experience what its games were like. Yeah, you have Sonic Adventure, but Crazy Taxi can only hold your interest for so long, and Space Channel 5 is quite obscure and short-lived. Then you’re adding a fishing game? That’s supposed to be the killer titles that would compete against the PS2?

Let’s get in some Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, SA2, Re-Volt, Skies of Arcadia, Chu Chu Rocket, Toy Commander, Ecco- SOMETHING besides a fishing game- TWO at that if you include Big’s story mode.

I just hope this thing doesn’t tank. It’s tempting to purchase, but I’ve already beat SA with all the emblems THREE times- to hell with doing that again. XD
