Sega Confirms Digital Release of Dreamcast Classics on Xbox 360, PS3

A press release issued by Sega on Thursday confirms the previously expected release of Dreamcast classics on Xbox 360 Live's Arcade and Playstation Network on PS3. In the release, Sega confirms that both Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi will be leading the pack of titles making their digital return, with Sonic hitting XBLA and PSN sometime in Fall 2010.

Each of the games will be based on their original Dreamcast versions, but will also feature all-new enhancements such as high-resolution graphics, surround sound, and leaderboards. In addition, the titles will include support for Playstation 3 trophies and Xbox 360 achievements.

Based on the wording of the press release, it definitely looks like we're in for some more reborn classics in the near future. With the Dreamcast library consisting of more than 650 titles, there should be plenty for Sega to choose from.

“There are few things that are more requested from us than making Dreamcast classics available for download in today’s digital market place" says Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe. "We’re very excited to begin offering gamers our beloved Dreamcast titles again on the current console systems.”

Both Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi will be on display this year at E3, so expect to see more details pouring in very soon.
