On 9-9-99, Sega unleashed the first in a new wave of gaming consoles. Featuring the first ever built-in online hardware and boasting incredible graphics, the Dreamcast ushered in many features found now found in today's modern game consoles for the first time ever.

Unfortunately for fans of the system, the Dreamcast was discontinued by Sega shortly after it was released, however today, ten years later the Sega Dreamcast lives on with the announcement of a new release coming from GOAT Store Publishing and Mad Peet -- Irides.

Irides is an incredible puzzler game where the player has to match blocks of similar colors together to eliminate them and move on. The faster that the blocks are connected, the higher the points are when they are finally eliminated! It's a game of risk and reward that is constantly pitting the player against the clock and seeing if they have what it takes to become the Master Of Blocks!

Irides features a bunch of features that Dreamcast publishers wouldn't even have thought about including in 1999! Online codes allow for the unlocking of extra content and worldwide rankings online against other Irides players. Pre-ordering before the official release date guarantees not just a copy of the Dreamcast game, but also will include a code for a downloadable copy of the iPhone version so you can take Irides on the road with you.

On top of this, the Dreamcast version contains spectacular modes and lots of great things to unlock A multiplayer mode allows up to four players to play at once, throwing blocks at one another to establish dominance, and a co-op mode allows you to team up with those that you would otherwise be competing against, setting the stage for another great challenge. Of course, the single player mode will also allow you to challenge and play through all of the different modes of Irides that there are.

Irides is now available for pre-order at the GOAT Store, LLC's web site for only $21.90. The pre-order includes two bonuses -- a free download of the iPhone version of Irides, as well as a promo poster for the game. These pre-order goodies will only be available for those who pre-order the game before it's official relase.

A final release date will be announced soon, but Irides is well on it's way to landing in this universe by December of this year, and keeping the Dreamcast alive with its first new release in its second decade of life!

There is another game coming to the Dreamcast titled Rush Rush Rally Racing.

Linky Pie

On this website there is a video showing off the game and it looks like tons of fun. It reminds me of RC Pro Am/Micro Machines and the original GTA games.

This is pretty interesting - I knew that the Dreamcast had still been kept alive by a strong homebrew community (I myself love using it as an emulator, since it runs many classic games at 100% speed), but I had no idea that it was still supported to some small degree by marketable games (In Japan, the last official titles were published in 2006 or so). It's nice to see someone making an effort to keep the DC alive, even if it's just for it's 10th anniversary.
