Sony and Microsoft pay their respect to a system that fell into the shadow of the PS2’s success. Forming a partnership with the two leaders in the console war, Sega now has the ability to release some Dreamcast classic on the Playstation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade.  The first two games that will fill you nostalgic desires, are Crazy Taxi, and Sonic.  You can read Sega’s full release after the hop, skip and a jump.

SEGA^® Europe Ltd. and SEGA^® of America, Inc. today announced plans to bring classic titles from its popular Dreamcast^TM console to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360^® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation^®Network later this year. Sonic Adventure^TM and Crazy Taxi^TM will be the first two classics made available, with Sonic leading the pack in Fall 2010 for the 11th anniversary of the launch of the Dreamcast in the United States.

Each game is based on the original Dreamcast incarnation, featuring all of the gameplay that older players fell in love with, whilst allowing a new audience to discover it for the very first time. The games incorporate all-new enhancements and features such as high resolution visuals and surround sound. Online leader boards are now implemented, allowing players to compare their skills with friends across the world! In addition to this, all-new Achievement and Trophy integration will be available for each game released.

Launched on September 9, 1999, the SEGA Dreamcast is one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed consoles of all time. Featuring a software library of over 650 titles, the system was widely hailed as being ahead of its time, and was the first to introduce online console gaming, with Internet support for games through a built in modem.
