Dreamcast 2 in the Works?

Intresting to think about, though i seriously doubt it, this would be the hardest time to enter the console market for a new contestant, it would be fun though

Trademark application sparks excitement over SEGA re-entry into console market.

SEGA Corporation has filed a new application to protect the trademark Dreamcast - sparking rumours that the Japanese publisher is planning on making a shock return to the console manufacturing market with the Dreamcast 2.

The application, sent to the United States Patent and Trademark Office' s Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval (TARR) dated August 13 2007, relates to:

" Home video game machines; player-operated electronic controllers for electronic video game machines; video game interactive controller, namely, hand held pads, and floor pads or mats; joysticks for video games; computer cursor control devices, namely, computer mouse; flash memory cards; video game software, computer game programs" .

Web chatter suggests the proof is in the detail of the application - the original Dreamcast didn' t have a floor mat accessory and the Dreamcast' s Visual Memory Unit (VMU) is far from the flash memory cards we know and use today - although we' d say that the VMU is pretty similar to the modern day memory cards.

The filing could, of course, simply be a further effort from SEGA to protect the Dreamcast name. According to the USPTO the original Dreamcast trademark is still active. However, the two descriptions are very different. You can see the original trademark description here.

We' ve contacted SEGA UK for comment. We' ll update you on this potentially megaton story as we get it.

hand held pads, and floor pads or mats;

Stomp your feet, grandma! FASTER!!!

I' m so stupid that I' d buy anything Sega releases. Price, quality, function or whatever would make no difference. I' d buy it.

Stupid Club wooooooooooooooo! I' d buy it day one.

" Basically, pollute the air all you want, your just speeding up the inevitable. Our future generations are f*cked as it is and there' s really nothing we can do about it. Have a nice day "

Well, whether id buy it or not depends on whether or not it has decent games!

If it' s true and even if it was a piece of crap that broke down every 5 days I' d still buy it because it has the SEGA name on it. Just hope they would use a SEGA!!! scream. I really miss those.

Grew up with SEGA and even if they are putting out crappy game after crappy game I just can' t help but get my hands on them...just for that damn logo so I can say to my friends " Look I have a new SEGA game" and they' re like " You actually play that crap" hehehe guess I' m just a SEGAnerd

Although it' s highly unlikely that this will happen. Don' t see where they' d get the money from anyway.

If it would be true ukresistance is going to have a field day. They should start their blue sky in games campaign again then

Dont be silly, we know you have no friends

Maybe this has more to do with DC games on PSN or XBL. That seems more plausible than DC2.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

It wouldn' t stand a chance.

Where would the money come from though? Would they even have enough for this kind of move?

I' d rather see a Saturn 2 than a Dreamcast 2. Hell, I don' t care what they call it, just as long as it has a number in the name!!!!!!

the only way sega has hope to enter this market and succeed is to compete on the tech level, they will probably release a console based on quantum technology ... right...

Listen to the wise

I' m so stupid that I' d buy anything Sega releases. Price, quality, function or whatever would make no difference. I' d buy it.

I see no reason why I wouldnt buy it. After all, I did buy a wii

Dont be silly, we know you have no friends

I do happen to know that he does though :P

Anyway, this would be cool and I would buy it without doubting. But I also guess that they might' ve got the patent because they' ll release some games in downloadable form. Maybe this particular fact wasn' t included in the original one?

If they' re actually thinking of releasing Dreamcast games on PSN or XBOXL, that would be a fantastic move. That little bomb had tons of great games. I drool at the possibility of Shenmue and Omikron (yes, even when faulty, I enjoyed quite a bit) for download

I doubt they could re-enter the console market where would the money come from? MS managed to break in to the market at the expense of great wads of cash, but I don' t see Sega with such great reserves, unless someone major behind the scenes can fund it.

Maybe they are going to team up with MS and release the next xbox in Japan under the Sega name!!!

People speculated about another SEGA console the last time SEGA filed this kind of application.

Hint: It has nothing to do with another SEGA created console.

Question: Has anybody ever heard of videogamer.com before?

UPDATE>>>Sega: No plans on getting back into console business

Ain' t happening. I' ll bet my mint-condish original copy of Dreamcast Magazine on it.

Not to say I wouldn' t be the first crazy fool to camp for one... but the likelihood was slim to begin with.

^It seems you' ve not seen the update!

Anyway, Scibetta couldn’t say why Sega updated the trademark, he did say he’s looking into the matter, so hopefully, we’ll hear something soon.

I guess that SEGA is going to release Dremcast games on LIVE
with a new service...

Or maybe they' ve plans for far future...(from now)

Please, make the text normal sized again. If you want to show there' s something important in the post then just highlight some of the more important sentences, not the whole post.
Thanks for the info though.

^Thanks for noticing about it,
However I was about to do the same thing that you' re asking for!
I don' t know what happened to my whole post that it became BOLD!

Well, I edited it...and here it is again,(Plus my more complete comment,
yes I deleted my comment from the last post.)

UPDATE>>>Sega: No plans on getting back into console business

My comment:

I knew that this won' t happen(at least for now),
but if something like this ever happens we can call it the
SHOCK of the century!

SEGA is original, this industry couldn' t reach to this place without
companies like SEGA,...good old days with SEGA stuff.

SEGA was always ahead of it' s time and they may return with
something like Dreamcast 2 or SEGA REVENGE!

...but not now...
they' ve a lots of game to release on new gen systems...

Here are just a few:

SEGA SUPER STARS TENNIS, NiGHTS:JOD, NiGHTS:ITD PS2(Jap),
Yakuza 2 PS2(Eng), Yakuza:Kenzan! PS3, Valkyrie Of The Battlefield
PS3,Shiren The Wanderer 3 Wii, Imabikisou PS3, Condemned 2
PS3/X360, SAMBA DE AMIGO DC Wii Edition, SEGA BASS FISHING DC
Wii Edition, GOLDEN AXE 360/PS3 and much more to come...

Here you can find why SEGA was years a head of it' s time...

http://shenmue.planets.gamespy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33772

^Just a few reasons...

They were too creative and maybe that' s why their marketing wasn' t
good, also they insisted on first-party-titles too much...

At least SEGA' s ideas still to this day in many ways lives on Microsoft' s
console(s)(Some examples:
Xbox' s controller(A, B, X, Y, RT & LT, Analog Stick & ...) ,
Xbox softwares dev techs, Xbox' s LIVE VISION(DC' s JAP Dream Eye) &
too many other examples...)

Microsoft always loved SEGA...and maybe that' s why Dreamcast had
a Windows CE logo like that!, lol!...Both Bill and Peter liked Dreamcast,...
we all know that Peter' s number One favorite game was Shenmue!
(^According to 1UP' s deserted island feature)

You may ask why SEGA now has two DC trademarks under their belt?
maybe because of these two guesses!

Dreamcast 2 2015?(NEXT NEXT GEN)--->Far Future
Dreamcast 2 on LIVE??? What!!!!!--->Near Future


SEGA may back someday...
after becoming reach again? 2015 might be a good date...

But I believe more that they' re ready to release Dreamcast titles
on LIVE! or PSN...maybe this is a strategy!
first they' ll make their great DC titles more famous
and then they' ll release sequels to those games only for Dreamcast 2 (2015)

Anyway, I' ll buy any SEGA console without doubt...

In closing I should say that we don' t like to see
that a big company like SEGA will lose again....
so, if releasing a console is going to be a risk
I would rather to have them alive with their games on other consoles.

Cross-platform virtual console is the only thing that makes sense. Something like a console+pc version of gametap . A console exclusive version would be redundant to the networks already available.

I want DC games on 360. An emulator on the market place that lets you pop in real games probably wouldn' t happen but downloadable ports/emulations of games would be awesome.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Yeah... with online functionality retained!

I would be playing Chu Chu Rocket right now.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Actually I think with software the discs could be recognized. If you put one in now it actually sees the disc, but it comes up as " mixed media disc"

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.
