There've been rumours of Dreamcast 2...

It's time to start patrolling the Internet. The truth is out there.

showUSloc=(checkLocale('uk')||checkLocale('au'));document.writeln(showUSloc ? 'US, ' : '');US, June 7, 2006 - Rumors of a Dreamcast sequel have been swirling ever since we first started making them up. If tabloids have taught us anything, rumors often become fact. It's with that knowledge, that we begin our search for the truth behind SEGA's possible (and some would say implausible) launch of a new console. And you can participate!
That's right, in the Information Age, everyone can contribute. But how will you know you've found the golden ticket? We've assembled a few examples of what you might find in your hunt for proof that the Dreamcast 2 does exist. Don't expect the Internet evidence to look exactly as our mock ups. More than likely they will be in Japanese and potentially less sophisticated than what our crack team of experts have designed. [Image: spotting-dreamcast-2-design-docs-2006060...36-000.jpg]
A development manual like this is one of the first images to be leaked on the 'net. Note the distinct difference between the Dreamcast and Dreamcast 2 dev manual is the number two. You laugh, but it's the minor details people often overlook. No one wants to start a false craze.[Image: spotting-dreamcast-2-design-docs-2006060...73-000.jpg]
Here's a page from the original Dreamcast dev kit manual. Added to it is potential notation. This is how new systems are made -- with red markers![Image: spotting-dreamcast-2-design-docs-2006060...23-000.jpg]
The money shot. This is a spec sheet. It includes lots of fancy numbers and crazy terms like "BIOS" and "RAM". Of course, when you spot a Dreamcast 2 spec sheet, it will have much higher numbers and possibly some greasy fingerprints. After all, console developers love eating pizza while burning the midnight oil.[Image: spotting-dreamcast-2-design-docs-2006060...54-000.jpg]
A concept is one thing, but find a pic of a dev kit (like this one we found in our backyard the other day) and you have got the one thing that is more powerful than a rumor... CONFIRMATION!!

i think they must REALLY want one.
