This is a kind of "what if..." thread. Next year the Dreamcast is ten years old (time flys, eh!) and I doubt after this year we'd get anything new, but what if Sega did something special for the Dreamcast's 10th anniversary, and gave it the send of it deserved?
What final games would you like to see, Naomi ports, or sequels to classic SEGA games, a proper 2D Sonic? Scud Race? NiGHTS II? Planet Harriers or maybe Jambo! Safari?
I was thinking how cool a final 10 releases would be in 2008, one for each year the Dreamcast existed. That's my idea of the perfect goodbye to the Dreamcast. At the end of the day a profit can still be made, so why not do it SEGA, a final goodbye?
Seemed like a cool idea for a thread to me anyway. Oh and don't say Shenmue III, that's beyond never happening!

Anyway, I'd love to see 10 final games, released monthly from Febuary to November 2008. One for each year. As the months go on, the games released get better and better.
01: Propeller Arena
100% completed game, it has been leaked, but I for one would love to see it have a release. Sega could just remove Online from the menu and change the licensed music with some suitable SEGA music from their archives.
02: The Maze of the Kings
Not the best shooter, but another one would be good to see on the Dreamcast, my main gripe with the arcade version was the stupidly shaped gun, so I reckon a Dreamcast version would be better. Would be easy, cheap and fast to port I reckon since it's NAOMI.
03: Sega Strike Fighter
I've never played this, this is to really fill the one gap I had, but from the screengrabs on System16.com it seemed decent enough. Is it good?
04: Jambo! Safari
Fantastic game, I loved playing it in the arcade, I've wanted a home conversion for ****ing years!
05: Planet Harriers
A canned Dreamcast game I was looking forward to, as I love Space Harrier but never ever sadly played this in the arcade.
06: Scud Race
They started it, so why not finish it? Scud Race is ****ing immense, but I've only played it once, I can never find it, so SEGA, lemme play it when I want!
07: Panzer Dragoon
This was the last one I thought of, I needed to think of something special, Panzer Dragoon is ace, but never saw a Dreamcast game, perhaps a totally new game, or a remake of the first two? Either way, would be cool.
08: Streets of Rage 4
A true Streets of Rage sequel, keep it 2D and use the Dreamcast's power to draw some big gourgous sprites! Make the game utterly huge, and throw on the first three as unlockables for good measure. Yuzo Koshiro must make the new music too!
09: Sonic & Knuckles 2
Like Streets of Rage, a true sequel to the Mega Drive games, done in true MD style but using the Dreamcasts power it could have amazing sprites and level design. If this done in a Sonic CD style too in regards to music and "classic Sonic" anime style FMV (like the Sonic CD intro) between stages it would be really ****ing cool.
10: NiGHTS II
Get Yuji Naka back just to do this, Yuji Naka loved the Dreamcast, and this would be the perfect sending off. A remake of the original with gorgous VGA graphics, with the odd new stage added for good measure? It would sell a **** load, even for a dead console!
Your turn guys.
