Article: Sonic Adventure Will Be Released for XBLA, PSN, and PC - More to Come?

New ratings posted on the ESRB web site confirm that Dreamcast title Sonic Adventure will be making its way to Xbox 360 Live, Playstation Network and PC sometime in the near future. The ratings database currently lists both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX, each earning a rating of "E for Everyone." Sega, however, has not yet officially announced the title.

In an interesting twist, Sonic Adventure previously appeared in the database of Korea's Game Ratings Board, alongside of another hugely popular Dreamcast title; Crazy Taxi. While Crazy Taxi has not yet been rated by the ESRB, it is probably safe to assume we'll be seeing it there eventually.

Could this be a sign that more classics from the Dreamcast's library will be showing up as digital titles on 360, PS3 and PC? Based on Sega's recent and publicly revealed shift towards digital distribution, we're leaning toward "yes." The question is, however, what titles will we see appearing next? Shenmue? Powerstone? Jet Grind Radio? Phantasy Star Online, perhaps? There are certainly enough great games to choose from, all yearning to make the leap to modern day platforms.

Hopefully, we'll be seeing some official announcements and additional product reveals at the E3 expo this year, which kicks off in about one week. In the meantime, make your predictions now so you can say "I told you so" when all our hopes are ultimately realized or crushed.

when

[Ezodagrom]

If it's released on Steam, I want it, I want it, I want it. :3
(My dreamcast doesn't work well anymore, it reboots during games)

i rather be satisfied with sonic adventure 2

[Seth Astra]

Agreed. Although I do have both for the gamecube, I'd hope that the Wii's Virtual Console gets these at some point. There are plenty of classics on dreamcast that I'd like to try.

[Ezodagrom]

I don't think these will ever be released on Wiiware, because of the file size. The Dreamcast used disks with 1.2GB capacity (GD-ROMs), most likely games like Sonic Adventure are bigger than what the Wii supports (512MB).

*Raises eyebrow.* That's... Surprising.

Someone with a dev console released this awhile ago. It also appears that other blogs are "officially" confirming that it is coming to PC, PS3 and XBLA. Who knows if they're legitimate, though. I'd rather see the official source.

This seems like a potential orgasm.
