Sorry to break this you fans of 80’s and 90’s video games. Sega is all but dead and buried. The company nearly bleed to death in late 90’s early 2000’s when their sixth generation console, the Dreamcast, was overcame by the Sony PlayStation 2. Despite positive reviews, the console undersold, leading to the company dropping out of the home console game altogether and focus only third party software. Now, fans are calling for the Dreamcast to get is far chance. A new Change.org online petition is calling for Sega of America to make a new wHD version of the console with wifi and an updated online gamestore.
The author of the Change.org petition calls on Sega of America to bring back the Dreamcast for a new age, writing:
“The new console should have a new but similar design, wifi, wireless controllers (4 maximum) 720p or 1080p HD upscaling and HDMI output, internal 500g Hard Drive and a GD-Rom drive.
“The console should be able to play original Dreamcast GD-Roms and also have the ability to connect online to a Dreamcast Classics Store to purchase and download classic Dreamcast titles in digital form where it can be played directly from the Hard Drive.
“This would also open up the opportunity for more indie developers and it would be very profitable for Sega.”
