New Commercial Dreamcast Game

[Lord Nepenthean]

Apparently there will be a new commercial Dreamcast game released in Japan this December.  According to Consolevision, the title is Chaos Field, which is a port of an arcade game.  They also mentioned that it will be released on Gamecube in 2005.  Looks kinda cool, actually.  There are some videos here:

One thing that was kinda confusing to me was the second video shows what looks like a tutorial.  There is a joystick shown with an A, B, and C button.  I'm guessing that this is for the arcade cabinet, and the Dreamcast port will be slightly different....  but I can't read the page to confirm that.

Oh, and here's the quote from Consolevision:

It simply won't die - at the Tokyo Game Show 2004 a new shoot 'em up will be annouced for the Dreamcast. This time it's a port of the arcade 2D shooter "Chaos Field" which uses a Sega NAOMI system. The Japanese developers behind this title are Able and Milestone.

Chaos Field for Dreamcast will be available in December 2004, in February 2005 a GameCube port will follow as well.

In japan at least. I wish Sega coulda supported DC longer.

It truly was a great system.  I dunno if it'll outlast PS2, but in terms of homebrew software, I bet it will definitely have new releases for much longer than at least GameCube, and maaaaaybe X-Box.

Just this year, a bunch of new homebrew games came out for DC, not to mention the WonderSwan, Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, C64, and other emulators that got releases in '04.
