Virtual On Coming To Xbox Live Arcade - Dreamcast Finally Making A Comeback?
I may be the only one excited about this, but in hopes that there are other former Sega fanboys and girls out there I'm spreading the news. Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, the Dreamcast iteration of Sega's stellar mech combat series, will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade this April. I remember falling in love with Virtual On in the arcades and when the game came to the Dreamcast I played it to death, and then some. Virtual On Oratorio Tangram is so far only confirmed for the Japanese Live Arcade, coming at a price of 1200 MS points, but here's hoping it'll come out elsewhere too since the Dreamcast version made it overseas.
But this could be big news for other Dreamcast classics. Sega recently re-registered the trademark on Virtual On, along with several other games including Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, so is there a possibility of those games getting the downloadable treatment as well? I hope so, since both of those games would fit wonderfully into the XBLA library. Or, dare I hope, could Sega dig into their Saturn catalog and bring back gems like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, and Shining Force III? That may be too much to ask for, but a boy can dream.
Oh, and Sega, bring Virtual On to PSN while you're at it, Sony fans deserve some sweet Robot action too.

Actually, Virtual On was on the Saturn as well. The Dreamcast game was the sequel.
And I'd kill to have Guardian Heroes on XBLA, that game is still fun as hell.
Only if I can get a set of twin sticks to play on my 360!
