Peak at next-gen Road Rash

So I doubt there's many Genesis gamers that haven't heard of Road Rash. Some great memories tied to that series for a pretty good amount of people. Problem is that's all there is of the series, memories. Well, if this short video of a "pre-vis" version is anything to go by, then there might be a chance that some dev team out there is maybe, possibly kicking around some ideas on bringing the series back for some high speed, high res mobile beat downs. This video is pretty old, so that doesn't do much for our optimism, but this recent trademark filing shows that something looks to be in the works for the series.

Keep those 16-bit fingers crossed.

Latest Dreamcast game launch!

Um, wtf is the title of this post?  Dreamcast?... as in... Sega Dreamcast sold from 1998-2001?  YUP, welcome to Rush Rush Rally Racing - to be released on the eve of Dreamcast's 10 year launch reunion in North America.

I have no idea what would inspire someone to actually try to publish a new game (illegally?) on a 10 year old, expired console.  According to the developers' site, "Rush Rush Rally Racing is an old school 2D racing game for SEGA Dreamcast. No sponsored cars, no realistic environments - just plain old fun!"  ... I got nothin'

The game is currently available for preorder at redspotgames online store,  however they warn:
     "This game is region-free: Runs on every PAL, NTSC-US and NTSC-J Dreamcast.
     This is a CD-ROM based product and might not be compatible with some NTSC-J
     Dreamcast™ consoles built after October 2000. Please check the manufacture date on
     the back of your console before."

... Good to know, I'll be sure to drag the dreamcast I never owned out of the closet to make sure I'm eligible to enjoy a game that can likely be dwarfed by something playable in a browser window.  Comments?
