After outings on the Dreamcast and Xbox, we haven't seen anything of the futuristic inline-skater since 2003's Jet Set Radio for the Game Boy Advance.

We were overly excited to hear a rumor that Sega was planning on reintroducing the series, this time on the Wii.

Sure, that may conjure up less than appealing Wii Remote waggling during tagging and inline skate attachments, but we'd be thrilled to take whatever we can get. Just give us cel-shaded graphics, an awesome soundtrack and Wii MotionPlus support, Sega, and we'll love you forever.

Sega's recently filed trademark, dated July 24, 2008 and separate from the original, Dreamcast era trademark, certainly has us thinking that a Jet Grind Radio update is more likely.

In addition to the typical "video game software" goods and services applied for, the new trademark adds things like "downloadable game programs", "game programs for use with mobile phones", and "game programs for use with hand-held game machines."

Hopefully that translates to a broader scope than just the Wii.

After all, Sega president Simon Jeffery did say that the iPhone, not the Wii or Xbox 360, was the new Dreamcast.

I've still got mine hooked up to my living room television, a copy of Samba de Amigo nestled within, a pair of official electronic maracas no more than six feet away from the console.

Tonight I'll be firing up some games I haven't played in years: Phantasy Star Online, Ikaruga, Cosmic Smash, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Bangai-O and Zero Gunner 2. (Yes, I'll be staying in this Saturday night, unfortunately.) Maybe I'll see if I can work in some Jet Grind Radio, but that might be pushing it.

I'll tell you what I remember most about my Dreamcast after the jump, and I invite you to chime in with your thoughts on the best console of the very late 90's.

My first Dreamcast (aka Katana) memory was seeing screenshots of the awful Godzilla Generations and that bizarre disembodied head floating around a (at the time) mindblowingly rendered city. As a long time Sega fan, I was already hooked.

The next outstanding teary-eyed moment was my first hands-on experience. My friend Corey and I rented a Japanese console, as well as copies of Power Stone, House of the Dead 2 and Blue Stinger. After enjoying some 3D brawling and zombie shooting—not to mention the recreational pharmaceuticals and ensuing Taco Bell feast—we laughed ourselves silly by the travesty that was Blue Stinger. Good times.

Sega's September 9 launch was also my first experience with midnight mania. Already having taken the next day off from work (I was REALLY psyched) I left my live-in girlfriend to her rest while I ventured to the mall, to queue up with my fellow nerds. After waiting in line for 90 minutes, I walked out with my console, Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Power Stone and Hydro Thunder. Sadly, I was too tired to actually play the damn thing when I got home, but dedicated most of my day locked on to the giant Dreamcast controller.

I've had many parties and some impromptu band sleep overs that almost always resulted in someone asking to fire up the Samba de Amigo party machine. Hell, we even had drunken sessions with Typing of the Dead.

I remember getting "hit on" for the first time in an online game by a bunch of dudes in Phantasy Star Online, as my adorable HUnewearl Mika pranced about the station, looking for free gear. Men. So predictable.

Oh, I suppose I could go on and on about my time with my Seaman, my first import game purchase ever in Ikaruga, spending $80 on maracas when I was barely making rent, playing NFL2K1 online and loving it, buying all those great Capcom fighting games and rarely playing them, blowing my Shenmue per diem on capsule toys, but we'd be here all night.

Let us know in the comments just how much you love your Dreamcast, or, when you Dreamcast noob slackers are finally going to go out and pick one up and restore your gaming cred. Ikaruga, here I come! Michael McWhertor
