Is this how the Sega console business *finally* ends? Not with a bang, but a whimper? Guess so! While Sega pulled the plug on console production back in 2001 (DC, R.I.P.), games continued to appear on the Dreamcast. Earlier this year saw not one, but two new DC releases in Japan. Sadly, Sega also stopped producing the official format for that game machine earlier this year. That means the only option to get games now is through the homebrew/underground scene.

It gets worse.

Last Friday, Sega Japan announced that on September 28th of this year, it would cease its internal repair service for the Dreamcast, the Saturn and their corresponding accessories. And if you can repair your consoles yourself after that? Well, you're shit outta luck. Brian Ashcraft
