https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thu12f_Y8_I

It's a pretty exciting time to be a Dreamcast fan. The console is getting some serious attention when it comes to accessories, such as the Octopus Fight Stick, D6 controller and not one but two new 'next gen' VMUs.

It yurns out we might also be getting an option which combines both of these things. Retro gaming and indie group Nai Adventure has revealed that a new controller is in development, called Dream Color Plus, that will provide wireless connectivity and a "world first" – it will come with a built-in VMU capable of displaying game information in colour, as well as rumble support without the need for ...

So I found out Shinobi (2002) was originally planned to be for the Dreamcast before it's discontinuation and moved onto the PlayStation 2.

In Sonic Generations, Seaside Hill was included as the third stage of the "Dreamcast Era" despite Sonic Heroes released for XBox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube.

Would you say all Sega games released for sixth-generation consoles could be regarded "Dreamcast-era games"? Regardless if those PS2, XBox and GameCube games were ever on the Dreamcast or not.

No, Dreamcast era ended in 2001 when SEGA refuses to put Virtua Fighter 4 (2001) into SEGA Dreamcast and choose to make it for PS2 instead.
They could release for both PS2 and Dreamcast (it would at least be a nice swan song for Dreamcast) but they already gave up with Dreamcast.



Edited : Typo. 2021 instead of 2001.

You mean 2001, not 2021?

Wasn't VF4 running on the Naomi 2 which is like, four times the memory of the Dreamcast? Otherf than that, the Dreamcast still had Virtua Fighter 3tb. Even the PlayStation version had hardware limitations that lowered the polycount and lighting of the game.

Also, Sonic Heroes was released in 2005 well after 2001. But Sonic Generations regard it a "Dreamcast-era" game despite the game released for other consoles years after the Dreamcast was discontinued.

Oh yeah, 2001. Typo.

Ouch. Then Dreamcast is really doomed. It had no way to compete with PS2.
As for Virtua Fighter 3tb, I remember I was dissapointed too. It's really downgrade compared to arcade version.
The hurtboxes got messed up to the point that throw attempts are even harder than they were in Arcade

Also, Sonic Heroes was released in 2005 well after 2001. But Sonic Generations regard it a "Dreamcast-era" game despite the game released for other consoles years after the Dreamcast was discontinued.

May be it's only applied to Sonic since they kinda try to start modern era with Sonic (2006) so the one that's released before that would be put into previous era.
Since for other games, I never heard SEGA put Super Monkey Ball, Shining Tears, or OutRun 2 into Dreamcast era.

One of September 2025’s Best Games Brings Back Classic Sega Dreamcast Series

After a period in early access that started back in January, Tokyo Xtreme Racer fully released on Steam this week, and now it’s coming soon to PS5.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer has 8,281 user reviews, 96 percent of which are positive. This gives the game on PC an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating, which is the highest rating a game can earn on Steam.
As these user reviews suggest, Tokyo Xtreme Racer is very much an old-school arcade-style racing game all about chasing top speeds and customizing your car. It is a simple formula, but as other user reviews note, a very refined and optimized formula. In the game, you race around ...

Well, the thought came to me when I read that Shinobi was originally meant for the Dreamcast, not the PS2 and how Seaside Hill was still lumped with the Dreamcast-era of Sonic games.

It also got me thinking of Shadow's game which my gut feeling sys they recycled Sonic Heroes to make that game, as well as the fact it's a sixth-gen console game.
