So dreamcast games are coming to PSN

The release of sonic adventure has been announced i wonder what else will be released. I wouldn't mind something like shenmue being released (which i've been curious to play), power stone games, soul calibur.

I'm also curious which version of SF3 we're getting will it be the arcade version or the DC version.

Shenmue has aged badly. Tried playing it recently, and it really feels its age. Power Stone is still around on other formats (the PSP version being lots of fun), and the DC version of Soul Calibur has been on XBL for ages.

SF3 would interest me, because I've somehow managed to avoid ever playing it.

Sadly, there's not that much from the old DC catalogue that remains interesting. I've still got my DC purely because I'd get about ten quid if I sold it, and I'd rather keep hold of it for those times when I feel like playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 with the ArcadeStick.

Hopefully they'll put Skies of Arcadia up on there and it can catch people's interests, maybe even enough to get a sequel. Although even THAT is highly unlikely.

Didn't SoA get a release on Gamecube as well? It didn't seem to help any. The DC game still fetches around £40 on eBay, so it's still worth today what it cost new eleven years ago.

The gamecube release actually did fine IIRC, at least it was a little big at the time of release(it's nice how gfaqs went nuts over it a little too, its page of reviews got huuuuuge), but it wasn't anything special.

It's surprising it did ok at all considering those were the days when a handful of DC games were being ported to the GC, thankfully it didn't get overshadowed by those releases. At least it didn't fail as hard as Evolution Worlds did.

SOA sparking any interest at all would be great though. Just being sold on PSN and letting more people get the chance to play the game'll be nice. It should also get the added content the GC version got. Those pirate bounty side-quests were great. I still have my Legends copy and I ain't letting go!

...

'Kay, my friend still has it, I should really ask for it back. It'd be nice to replay it.

If it was a tenner or less, and had the extra GC content and was optimised for HD, then I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Still can't see it happening though.

I can see a port of some kind. I mean, Grandia of all games got one for christ sakes, and that game was about as obscure as SOA is today. SOA has low chances, sure, but if Grandia can get a new release on PSN, I think I can be a little optimistic about a potential re-release. A sequel on the other hand, like I said, is really, really unlikely.

I bought Grandia for the PSone, and to be honest I never saw what all the fuss was about. It was a competent game, sure, but at a time when every magazine and its mother was giving it rave reviews on Jap import I was expecting something more.

Really hoping they put JJBA on the PSN store.

And yet it ended up getting a damn PSN release and sequels! Although I like it, SOA deserves the recognition more. Sega WOW referencing the main characters in those recent ps3 games they did ain't enough!

Fuck yes.

Capcom vs snk 2 would be on my wishlist, along with Jet Grind/set radio.

I have a dreamcast... so really not much. I wouldn't mind seaman but without the microphone it's not gonna happen. PSO back online would be sick too.
