Virtua Tennis 4 hits the 360, PS3, Wii, and PC on May 10, 2011 (May 14, 2011 for EU). When that day comes, PS3 owners will get a great little handful of exclusive content not available to 360/Wii/PC players. I can only hope that the 360 gets similar treatment and receives its own set of exclusives, since I don’t have a PS3, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I am desperately eager for this game to come out; with a little over a month still to go, time seems to be passing more and more slowly. Read the full story

September 9, 1999 is a day that will live in gamers’ memories for a long time.  It marked the release of SEGA’s Dreamcast console.  The Dreamcast’s graphics, online gameplay, and hardware were ahead of its time creating a community of enthusiasts that still regard the Dreamcast as one of their favorite consoles (myself included).

Fans of the Dreamcast’s memorable and incredibly entertaining game library have reason to celebrate.  To celebrate the 11th anniversary of the SEGA Dreamcast, SEGA will begin releasing select titles on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.  These titles will have updated high-resolution graphics, surround sound, online leaderboards, and achievements/trophies.  Currently, the only two announced titles for release this fall are Sonic Adventure, and fan favorite Crazy Taxi.

I, for one, can’t wait to get behind the wheel again and start picking up high-resolution fares!

Wow, we’ve really fallen behind on our posting.  Sorry about that, but it couldn’t be helped.  I needed a bit of a break from having to think of something every single day.  Hopefully I’m ready to get back into the swing of things!

A few weeks ago, during one of our MehCast episodes, we discussed my broken Dreamcast console and how I truly missed it.  One of our amazing viewers, and a good friend, took it upon himself to ship us a working Dreamcast with an extra controller!  I managed to procure some of my favorite games, and after a few difficulties, managed to get them running:

Virtua Tennis: I was a tennis MASTER, back in the day.  I would sit and play for hours upon hours, loving every second of it.  My cousin Lee loved this game, too, so when I get home, I’m going to give him a call and let him know that it’s back!

Crazy Taxi & Crazy Taxi 2:  The Crazy Taxi games were fantastic.  The first one was such a well done game, that you really had no chance to hate it.

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing & Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2:  Ready 2 Rumble was such a fun boxing game that introduced us to wild characters with even wilder fighting styles.  Almost drawing on the spirit of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, this game was always a blast.

Power Stone & Power Stone 2:  Easily one of the most amazing games ever made on any system, ever.

Street Fighter Alpha 3:  I love the Alpha series, and SFA3 in particular.  In my opinion, one of the best Street Fighter games.

There’s so much more I have yet to play, but this is a start!

Thanks Austin!
