Popular Post Yo-Yo Posted December 24, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 INTRODUCING SEGA DREAMCAST 3 Hey people. I'm not sure if you all heard this already, but it's big news in the gaming world. SEGA is making a Dreamcast 3. I'm doing a Kickstarter campaign to make it happen.

We're meeting with the Senior Buyer for Toys R Us next year, and we're in negotiations with Konami, Capcom and Namco to "sign on" for Dreamcast 3. We're going to unveil her June 14-16 2015 at E3 in Los Angeles, CA. Mickey Avalon is scheduled to make a special appearance at the SEGA booth so be sure to stop by. I'll be handing out Dreamcast 3 plush toys and churros, hope to see you there!

Only the SEGA Dreamcast 3 Protection Plan provides you with direct telephone technical support from SEGA experts and the assurance that repairs will be handled by SEGA-authorized technicians using genuine SEGA parts. For more information, visit SEGA Support or call 800‑872‑7342. SPECIAL EDITION To raise awareness, the first 10,000 consoles sold will be a "Don't Touch Me There Daddy" Special Edition. A "(Red) campaign" and "Mama's Family" Special Edition bundles will soon follow. The SEGA branding and "Don't Touch Me There Daddy" tagline was a business decision I made to bring instant brand recognition to the "Daddy." We know we have a mountain to climb and are prepared to do what it takes to plant a flag at the top. I will once again apologize to all of you for at times dissing some individuals and the Atari Age community but it was hard being criticized by a group of my Atari and classic game lovin’ peers. All I ask is moving forward into the New Year is you try and give the SEGA Dreamcast 3 Don't Touch Me There Daddy Special Edition a fair chance to stand on its own, and again forget about the past. Let it speak for itself when we reveal it to you all early this New Year. And finally, let’s respect one another and our opinions (some advice I am directing towards myself) and that goes for both believers and non-believers of what we are trying to do. In the end, we all love and are passionate about video games and sometimes this passion causes us to do uncharacteristic things. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and I hope you all have a very Happy New Year! - Yo-Yo Sabertooth, Dan Iacovelli, Arenafoot and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for the support guys. Our PR team is sending out Press Releases tomorrow to the lazy journalists at Kotaku, Polygon, Ars Technica, and Re/Code. We're going to try for what's left of Joystiq and those shrill broads at Gawker if anybody is left to listen. They'll likely pick up the story and reprint our Media Release without much thought or curiosity like they always do, so I'm expecting lots of gab about Dreamcast 3 on social media over the holidays. We're serious about making Dreamcast 3 (Project Daddy) a reality. We're gonna do this guys! Sabertooth, Lost Dragon and MaximumRD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hmm...sounded like a good idea but lack of a prototype to show people that they mean business, and actually know what they are doing, would do a lot for this venture. We would need to see the specifications they set out when it was called the Retro VGS, at least I would. From a personal point of view: It's cool that the dyes used to mold Jaguar casings was purchased by someone. Even if a little retooling was done on them they are still a part of gaming history and deserve to be preserved. Using them to allow others to have custom Jaguar cases was awesome and I soooo wanted one because a working mainboard is somewhat cheaper than a full working Jaguar, thus a bit easier to obtain. Now...and I might be stepping on toes with this...but I feel that console design, no matter what, should stay with the Jaguar. I cringe every time I see those dentist/doctor devices using the Jaguar's shell. It's a design icon and when I see the design I think of video games and not health. When I see the design I think of the Jaguar and Jaguar only, not another console with an identical design. I already have a console with that shell therefore if I was to partake in supporting the Chameleon I would want the design to be custom-made so that it stands out and not have a retooled case that was already used for another system. But, in all seriousness, I would pass on it. The price is too steep and there are other things, gaming devices, I'd rather spend my hard-earned money on like importing me a Famicom, Twin Famicom, NEC PC Engine (either Core or Core II), and some games. Then there's the Raspberry Pi adventure I'd like to experience as well. And these, any of these, cost less than kickstarting this project. I'm sorry...I love video games and I enjoy knowing that someone, or some people, want to do these things but this project has shown nothing solid to back up the project. Word of advice, guys (Chameleon developers), make the prototype no matter what it takes. Get it up and running without blowing it or yourselves up in the process. Get a game running on it...then get a few more games on it. At best this would be a two or three year project for just a prototype but if you are highly serious about this game console then I would suggest showing the public actual hardware and software in a similar fashion to how Steve Jobs would have just one more thing. That is my 2 cents worth. Just saying. Arenafoot and Lost Dragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolinden Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Here's some new info: This guy is apparently "onto something" AND they have a playable prototype. "Only 19 days until the COLECO Chameleon will be revealed at Toy Fair NY. We will make sure to post plenty of video of the playable prototype for all to see. We are all so excited to start showing it off. Are you ready?" https://www.facebook.com/RETROVGS/videos/940146869387917 Edited January 30, 2016 by leolinden Quote Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximumRD Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Jaguar, Coleco, and Intellivision, but no telephone pad on the controllers? Exactly my thought for sometime, soon as I heard Coleco I thought well, do they plan to have ColecoVision titles because if so that controller ain't going to cut it! Also while the games look well emulated I am still not seeing proof this is running off the console or a prototype? Could be PC emulators as far as I can tell..................

The Professor Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 We'll see what happens at the toy show. I have to say those 16-Bit games look Neo-Geo quality. If those are actual "Chameleon" games running on actual hardware and not some type of Retron-like emulation then I'm impressed. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks for posting this. When i made a video about the CC, I threw out the possibility of a CV Flashback cart. I wonder if that is what they will do (along with an INTV one)? Some sort of compilation cart makes the most sense to me. I like the looks of some of the games. I've been waiting for more retro beat em up games!

MaximumRD Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I still seem to be missing something lol......There was a post on fb were I asked about the coleco and Intellivision games shown and how would they be played without a keypad? The response was enough keys could be mapped on the controller for those functions. I suggested that was kind of a sucky alternative. Today I read a post suggesting the inty and coleco games that require a keypad won't be on the console......uhm, isn't that like.......the MAJORITY OF THEM??????? Ugh the usual answers that are not winning me over........

DeLorean Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I agree with you but what do we know for sure about this? Reading a post suggesting something on Facebook doesn't really mean it's true. This still seems like merky waters to me. Kudos go to the Retro VGS team for the $135 price, for the games, for demoing at the NY Toy Show, and for doing what they said they'd do to turn it all around. I'd like to see more though. I'd like to see them outline everything really easy peasy on their website so we know what's what. Seems like what they're really missing are the dies to the Jaguar controllers which would have the numbers on it but they'd probably get ripped for that too.
