Topic: Dreamcast for Wii

I'd like to see Dreamcast classics re-released/remade for Wii. It'd be easier than spending amost $100 for a used Dreamcast, then spending $50 for games. Of course, Classic Controller support would be essential. Even if the Gamecube Controller isn't compatible, at least you'd be able to play the originals in the old way.

They just need to re-release Shenmue 1 & 2 and we're pretty much set. Currently the following Dreamcast classics are already playable on Wii:

Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Crazy Taxi
Phantasy Star Online
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Samba De Amigo
Sega Bass Fishing
The House of the Dead 2
Skies of Arcadia
Ikaruga

To be honest I would also like to see Jet Set Radio, Dead or Alive 2, Rez and Space Channel 5 make an appearance too. Until then you may as well just get that Dreamcast - I'm sure you can find one cheaper than $100.

um, i`d like to see daytona and sega rally come to the wii. i loved those games

Yeah, I guess they were all re-released/remade for the Gamecube.

On a related note, we can't forget the sequel to the Saturn game NiGHTS.

Capcom needs to make Power Stone 3. Actually I think this will happen because I think TvC has been successful and they promised more Wii fighters.

I loved the Dreamcast and it's games but the Wii does not need anymore shoddy ports of any more games, let alone Dreamcast games almost 10 years old. Just buy a Dreamcast. You'll still end up shelling out $40-$50 per game for the Wii remakes even if the porting were to happen.

I'd like to get Sonic Shuffle.

This. So much. Power Stone 2 is one of the best brawlers I've ever played.

Also some other awesome Dreamcast games that could do with a Wii release... (Of course, I've played all of these already, so I'd only buy them if there were some significant improvements.)

• Space Channel 5: Special Edition - Well, it's a PS2 game but it combines the two Dreamcast parts. And the game could do well with motion controls and a visual upgrade.
• ChuChu Rocket! - If this isn't the perfect Wii title then I don't know what is!
• Jet Set Radio - I think it could benefit from waggle controls and a graphical upgrade.
• Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - Well of course!
• Spawn: In the Demon's Hand - Would be FANTASTIC with upgraded graphics, light-gun controls and online modes.
• Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram - Virtual On with light-gun controls and online battles please!

Yes, ChuChu Rocket! I can't believe that hasn't been released for any other system... has it?

GBA.

There was also an unofficial port of Chu Chu Rocket to the Atari ST. Let's face it; it's not the most demanding of games on the old hardware.

yeah.. Sadly, Capcom would have already released this game on Wiiware if it wasn't for the stupid file size restriction.

I got a Dreamcast for only $20 at Play N Trade and I got Shenmue for $14. I don't see why you can't do that.

I've never even seen any games for it priced any where near $50.

Wasn't Shenmue 2 on the xbox?

Bah no mention of Guardian Heroes? Best Saturn game imo.

@SuperPeach Yep, Shenmue 2 was on the Xbox.

@Impresario I'd have mentioned Guardian Heroes and all the other awesome Saturn titles, but that's kind of off-topic here don't you think? points at thread title

And the Dreamcast - in the UK anyway.

I wish it was on the Dreamcast in the US. I'd have to buy an Xbox to play it.

I'd love a new Phantasy Star Online. Phantasy Star 0 is great on the DS but I want mah Wii version

You should have imported it from the UK (along with the original Shenmue) - you can carry your save file over to the sequel so you still have all your items and photos and stuff that you collected in the first game. They should have released Shenmue 1 with 2 on the XBox as it's not the same without it.
