Dreamcast games coming to PS3

Sony in discussions regarding exclusivity, according to leaked document

MCV can reveal that SCEA is currently in discussions to bring a number of Dreamcast titles exclusively to PSN.

Though the releases could yet go multiplatform, Sony is considering signing a dedicated “long-term” exclusivity deal for the titles in return for offering additional marketing support.

As part of the possible agreement, Sony is currently cherry picking its preferred titles from the Dreamcast’s back-catalogue.

It’s possible that any titles not selected by SCEA could yet appear on the likes of Xbox Live Arcade and Virtual Console.

The move is a strong reply to the popular Virtual Console service offered on Wii and positions both PS3 and PSP as serious contenders in the growing retro games market.

How does that work? A lot of DC games made it to ther platforms and some are already on XBLA (notably Ikaruga & Rez)

Anyway that aside, I would like to see the following if possible.
1. Bang-io (I thnk that`s how you spell it)
2. Ikaruga
3. Mars Matrix
4. Border Down
5. Giga Wing (1 & 2)

Apart from Border Down I ahve all these but I think I would play them more if they were on PS3 HDD.

maybe Sony will pull their finger out and give us some great next gen titles to play as well!!

Seriously though what is the PS3 all about? is it an expensive Blu Ray player? is it a top quality games machine? is it a media hub? or is it now a set top box to download stuff from the past? Sony just seem to weaken their premier console with every announcement.

Sony have never truly marketed their console products as serious games machines, they have had a phobia about this ever since the original Playstation.

This is quite a coup for Sony ,if it turns out to be true.

Microsoft Xbox always seemed like the spiritual successor to the dreamcast.

Metropolis Street racer (PGR), Jetset Radio Future & Peter Moore to name 3.

MS got Rez and Ikaruga then stopped.

ChuChu rocket - Where are you?
