John Carmack Says iPhone As Powerful as Dreamcast, More Powerful Than DS and PSP Combined

We're all for making hyperbolic statements about how powerful the iPhone is as a gaming system, but John Carmack's taking things to the next level. As you remember, Sega has previously said that the iPhone is as powerful as their Dreamcast system, and EA has previously said that it's more powerful than the DS, but less than the PSP. Carmack, on the other hand, is having none of this. He says that it's more powerful than "a Nintendo DS and PSP combined." Combined! Like, if you taped the two together and had them working simultaneously, he's saying it won't be as good as an iPhone! More »

Sega Says the iPhone Is As Powerful As the Dreamcast

Developers are just getting their heads around the concepts introduced by the iPhone, but so far they like what they see. EA said it's more powerful than the DS, and now Sega—the guys who made Super Monkey Ball for the platform—is saying that it's just as powerful as the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast! Do you remember how good that was? Soul Calibur? House of the Dead? Typing of the Dead? Shenmue? Those were some quality games. Who else wants some of that action in the next few years?

Portable Dreamcast Makes Us Cast Our Dreams Away in Favor of Reality, Almost

The Dreamcast, borderline success that it was, always held a special place in our hearts. We just had a soft spot for punching the crap out of each other during a session of Virtua Fighter. That is why this Portable Dreamcast, put together by a zealous fanboy, has us experiencing a warm feeling in the pits of our stomachs. More »

Is Sega Working on Dreamcast II? Please Let This Be True

I know that there are a lot of Dreamcast fanboys out there, so let me get your hopes up (only to have them dashed later on down the line most likely). A recent trademark update by Sega has sparked rumors that they may be thinking about a return to the console biz with a second coming of the Dreamcast. From the filing:

home video game machines; player-operated electronic controllers for electronic video game machines; video game interactive controller, namely, hand held pads, and floor pads or mats; joysticks for video games; computer cursor control devices, namely, computer mouse; flash memory cards; video game software, computer game programs

Prototype Dreamcast with Zip Drive Costs More Than 28 Xbox 360s

As a proud owner of a Dreamcast, I am a man that can appreciate one with a prototype Zip Drive jammed into it. And now, thanks to the Internet, I can get one — for $10,000 on eBay. Apparently, before the DC's fatal collapse, Imega Corp. made a 100MB Zip drive attachment that would help hold everything from saved games to emails. The drive was intended to help promote the DC as not only a console but as an entertainment system. The Dreamcast inevitably failed and now I'm left staring at it sadly while considering playing Virtua Tennis and mortgaging a house to get the Zip drive attachment. [DC News]

Sega Dreamcast Guitar (Verdict: Pretty Much the Most Awesome Instrument Ever Crafted)

While it only has three strings and could use something stronger than a spit shine to clean it up, our unabated Dreamcast love completely blinds us to the Dreamcast guitar's flaws. If someone could magically transform it into a wireless controller for Guitar Hero 3, it would probably be the greatest peripheral ever. At least until someone makes an SNES guitar.

Sega Dreamcast Wristwatch

Although this isn't an actual Dreamcast system that you can play on your wrist—oh how we wish that were so—it's the next best thing. This watch, comissioned by Sega, has an actual Dreamcast-like face which flips open to tell you the time. Classy and nerdy. You can pre-order one at Playasia now for the Sept. 29 release date.

World's Smallest Sega Dreamcast

Our drunk brother-in-law, Kotaku, picked up this wee Sega Dreamcast. No, it doesn't work, but it's so cute. It's actually a little collector's thing that comes in a little bag and you can PRETEND you own a very small obsolete console. More »
