Japan has a wider selection of 3DS themes then the west - that much is a given. However, the gulf between the haves and have-nots is getting a little irksome now - especially as Sega has just released two more awesome themes for Japanese fans to download.
The Dreamcast and SG-1000 themes cost 200 Yen a piece and join the other "hardware" themes currently available: Mega Drive, Master System, Astro City arcade, Saturn, Game Gear and Sega Mark III. The Dreamcast was Sega's final home console and launched in Japan in 1998, while 1983's SG-1000 was the precursor to the 8-bit Master System, and exclusive to Japan.
There's still no word on whether or not we'll be seeing these themes in the west, but our fingers are firmly crossed. While you sit in a darkened room cursing at the lack of Sega themes on your handheld console, why not watch the video recorded which shows the Mega Drive and arcade themes in action?

Oh damnnn.
Japan's getting a lot of neat 3DS home themes that we'll never see, it's annoying.
I'd happily take a Mega CD and a SEGA CD theme. It's hard to pick which BIOS music I like the best. Mega CD's is bouncy and excitement-inducing, but SEGA CD's reminds me of Phantasy Star.
Please Don't Hate Japan For Getting More Amazing Sega 3DS Themes
... and new upcoming Club Nintendo rewards too! :/
I don't care about themes.
I have one big request for Sega:
kill Sonic games cause last of your games with Him are crappy.
Thank you.
@DontPlayDumb That was unnecessary. If you don't like any of the Sonic games, just don't buy them? Or watch anything with them in it? There's no need for the hate at all.
I just want the Ace Attorney one ;_;
Sega rolls out another bunch of themes... while we get none. -.-
No Puyo themes, no Console themes. Yup. This sucks.
@Rhydas
I won't, but they should focus on something else if they cant make any good game with Sonic anymore.
I would punch a bear in the face for that Dreamcast theme.
That is so cooool. I mean we probably won't get them... but still.
Awww, a Dreamcast theme.
//sheds a tear for an awesome console//
Dreamcast Virtual Console confirmed?
As much as I think themes are a rip off, I think I'd take the plunge on these bad boys. Really want the MegaDrive, Mega CD, Game Gear, Saturn & Dreamcast. I also want those Sonic themes but I could get a game for the price they're going for.
phew Themes...for a moment, i thought you were talking about the 3D classic remakes...
NikkithemeNikkithemeNIKKITHEME
And a Rosalina handkerchief!
Gah, freaking Club Nintendo, man.
I'll forgive them if they release the themes to the west.
@sillygostly
Yes, please. I could not care less about themes, but the games themselves would be awesome. Got a great time with 3D Outrun so good Sega games are always welcome.
It can't be that hard to release them in the west as well. I mean, they would most certainly make profits. I would buy at least a couple of them.
OMG THAT DREAMCAST ONE BETTER COME TO THE STATES!!!!! MY LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE! THAT IS THE ONLY THEME I WILL EVER USE LOL!
I just have the three Ace Combat themes at the mo (at 80p each they were a steal) but I would most likely jump at a few of these.
And I never even owned a Sega system!
Surprised we've yet to see a SNES, N64 or GC theme yet.
Dreamcast theme!? Take my money!!
If only North America could get the small New 3DS too
Sega of America needs to get on this stuff.
Nintendo, take note.
If they released a Gamecube theme with original sound effects and music I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That is something I need in my life.
@sillygostly I wish
@C-Olimar If they somehow pulled off a theme with the music and floating cube, I would likely kiss a mouse from happiness. Gamecube should have been added instead of the Dreamcast. Also, an N64 theme would be welcomed too. Oh and I second that on buying it not in a heartbeat, but in an eyeblink! An eyeblink I say! Hoo! (AC FTW)
I think the Wii U could use some themes too.
Alright, I won't hate Japan for getting more awesome Sega 3DS themes. However, can I hate them for the million and one other awesome things that they also get?
Aww I'd buy every single 'hardware' theme if they came here. I wonder why Ninty hasn't released a Game Boy theme yet?!
Sega seriously need to get their brain checked out and release all of their 3DS themes in Europe&North America too.
I would buy all the eight themes they've released so far.
