Amusement Vision (AM4)
  • ?
Ancient
  • Shinobi (rumored) | Sega | Ancient | Will be a sequel to the immensely popular ninja action series on Sega consoles.  I hope it's like the Saturn game Psychic Killer Taromaru (2D action/3D graphics).
  • Story of Thor (rumored) | Sega | Ancient | Will be updated for the Dreamcast complete with the usual hand-drawn graphics, action, adventure and hopefully Yuzo Koshiro's music.

  • Bikkuriman 2000 | Sega | As of December 10, 2000, I have no idea what happened to this game.  An insane Japanese super hero action/platform title.  The game will feature a collection of mini-games, such as shooting down the balloons and the mini-slot machine. Players can adopt the role of one of the two main characters: Takeru and Pochi, and the mission is to collect different seals from each mini-game to seal up the evils (May 2, 2000 - Japan).

  • Dee Dee Planet | A delightfully addictive title which blends the strategy elements of Scorched Earth and Worms into a 

  • tight little package that should entertain members of the Dreamcast network for hours. (TBA, 2001 - Japan)
  • Dynamic Golf | Sega | An arcade translation which will feature Dreamcast exclusive courses, modes, and possibly online play.  (Q2, 2001 - Japan)
  • Far Nation | Sega | A massive multiplayer network RPG which is said to be suitable for kids and adults.  Expect beautiful 3D realms and lots of exploration. (Q2, 2001 - Japan)
  • Frontier | dev: Turbine Games | An online Sci-Fi adventure which features realtime night and day environments (TBA USA).
  • Geist Force | Sega | As of August 1999, this game has been cancelled. =(  A sweet looking 3D shooter which plays similar to Star Fox.  Traverse unknown worlds and destroy waves of enemy ships.
  • Magic The Gathering | A digital card game complete with internet play.  The game will make use of the current "basic set" of cards, as well as the specialty cards of the MTG Sixth Edition.  Cards can be traded online or via the VMU, and players will assemble their decks just as they would in the traditional, real-life card game (TBA 2001 - Japan; TBA 2001 - USA).
  • Type X ~Sprial Nightmare~ | Following the popular Resident Evil formula, Type X is set in the year 2078 in a space station orbiting Mars.  Aside from the usual gameplay and monsters, interaction is said to involve 20 characters with realistic reactions. (Nov. 2000 - Japan)

  • Treasure Box | Sega | Treasure | As of 12/10/00, I have no idea what happened to this game.  A compilation of classic 16-bit Treasure games.  At this time, titles and whether it's an emulator or not are unknown.  Alien Soldier and Gunstar Heroes would be a good place to start though (TBA - Japan).
United Game Artists (AM Annex/AM9)
  • New Space Channel 5 | Sega | UGA | A sequel to last year's hit dance game, starring Ulala.  Expect more whacky fun with plenty of dance tunes. (TBA, 2001 - Japan)
