If Rocket League wins, I’m in. Depends a bit on what day and time this is though. Nights are bad for me until Wednesday (work one week on; one week off), but if you’re playing some before 10 P.M., I could join in for a bit.

I can’t back this. It’s too unrealistic. Putting Dreamcast games up for sale on-line isn’t that simple. Sega controls its own assets, sure, but others? Not gonna happen. Plus you have licensing issues to consider, such as how Crazy Taxi’s original soundtrack and locations were removed from later releases of the game.
Likewise, what’s presented is a PC which reads Dreamcast games. That exists already, as I believe Linux can read GD-ROMs. Even then, emulators aren’t really viable yet from what I’ve seen. I doubt these guys can do what the larger community cannot.
I’m sure there’s a potential market for a Dreamcast with modern HDMI and upscaling support, but it’ll be confined to the retro enthusiast market which would likely prefer the original hardware anyway. There’s no real money to be made here, and I’d suspect the components (particularly the laser assembly) and work required would likely price it well beyond what anyone would be willing to pay. This will go the way of the Retro VGS and so many other failed attempts to tap into the market.

I wish there were some gameplay details here, but I suppose it’s too soon. I want to see if Level 5 fixed the crummy combat of the first game.

Yeah, I didn’t want to start speculating on why, and, really, I can’t even think of a reason why Sony would shut it down. Doesn’t impact me too much because it’s far more convenient to not use the PS Store on a PSP since downloading over a PSP is terrible, but it still doesn’t make me feel particularly good that Sony’s doing something like this.

There’s a Saturn project to get it to boot from an SD card. I believe someone has made one, but it’s not available as a consumer product. That’s what I really want, and the same for Dreamcast, but it runs into the legal issues you note which make it unlikely to see any kind of official release.
I already have a NES Everdrive and soon will get the others. I love it. I have all the games I want to play, and I’ll still play the ROM on my Everdrive because it’s just so easy. I want that for my disc systems. Besides, lasers fail and discs rot. I’d feel a whole lot better about the longevity of those consoles if I could bypass discs altogether.
Old games are escalating in price so quickly anyway. It’s just not feasible to support old media for new hardware. People are most likely gonna burn the discs as it is, so why not just skip discs and implement another storage solution such as SD cards or a HDD as it is? You won’t get Sega’s (or any console maker’s) backing on that project, but that’d absolutely would be something people would want.

They just crammed too much into combat without really thinking about if it made sense to structure it like that. Pokemon enemy capturing? Sure, that’s fun. Only one character can do it? Now you’re pigeon-holing me into having that character in the group for every battle. Not really a big deal since you’re stuck with three for most of the game, but it’s still a poor decision.

This is minor and you’re probably already aware, but Show/hide
your signature URL isn’t formatting correctlyhide. That’s the only oddity I’ve noticed so far.
