Yeah, can't be helped since 2D Sonic fan games are a lot more than the 3D ones afterall.
Sonic fan related on 3D ones usually are fan mods instead of fan games.

But they're definitely touching the Dreamcast-era games (a lot lot more than Saturn era), just ... not Sonic.















Even Capcom also released lot of games from Dreamcast era recently.











So I don't get if there is a Dreamcast fan that's still never feeling satisfied.
Unless they're not really Dreamcast fans but only fans of one or two games that's happened to be released in Dreamcast.

yeah but that's not saying much given the Saturn was mostly arcade ports with only a handful of exclusives. Not including Sonic jam, Sonic R and 3D Blast were the only two decent Sonic games for the Saturn, and calling them decent is debatable. Especially given Sonic 3D Blast doesn't appear to be mentioned again in Sonic Generations or Sonic Origins.

It's because you're comparing it with Saturn, not Mega Drive or Master System.
I know I'm saying it's a lot lot lot better than Saturn (with only Panzer Dragoon is the one that got a remake) but it's still also better than Mega Drive (very close though) and Master System.
Not counting Nintendo Switch SEGA Ages ports, aside from Sonic games right now Dreamcast legacy is still having more revival than Mega Drive or Master System ones.

(Panzer Dragoon and NiGHTS if I recall)

Yeah, but I only counted which still in one decade range (2015-2025).
NiGHTS (Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC) was released in 2012, more than a decade ago.

SEGA boss wants to revive the SEGA spirit of the 80s and 90s

Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone, “I’d really like to revive that SEGA spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe SEGA brings rock and roll. In the arcade business, we really had a rock and roll mindset and trying to provide new stuff. So nowadays, we want Sega to always be trying something different, while ..."
