For starters: Oh hey two new Dreamcast games were announced recently! First off is the latest from our friends at NG:DEV TEAM.. NEO XYX!
This will be a TATE scrolling shooter, with six stages and bosses, and like all their other games will be appearing on both Neo Geo and Dreamcast! There is only one, off screen teaser video of the game which you can check out below.
Pesonally I can't get enough of these classic style scrolling shooters, but I can imagine some people would want something different from the indie Dreamcast scene once in a while, so how about an RPG?
The graphics are being redone in high definition and while the Dreamcast is obviously not a HD console (by todays standards anyway), that version will be getting the same new graphics at 480p with VGA support. The disc will also include the original Mega Drive version too for those who missed out on the original (like me) and love the sprite art!
So er...how about those games still due? In the case of ReDux: Dark Matters, the other Dreamcast game that debuted on Kickstarter: it is apparently almost complete. According to the twitter account, anyway.
As for Sturmwind? Hmm, well, Redspotgames have not updated us about the status of that game since June, where they have a big Q&A about why the game is so delayed and the complications that have caused it's current 'TBA' date. It's a tad frustrating, but looking forward to the game when it's eventally released none the less. I just hope they update us on this soon.
UPDATE: According to Duranik's Facebook page the release date should be revealed in a few days as they are currently in the pre production test run. There is a new preview about the game here.

Haha! Nothing from either of us for weeks...and then two on the same day! Great post - hadn't heard of either of these two games, exciting stuff!
Thanks for the two new articles, guys. It's always good to hear what's new (and old) in the land of Dreamcast!
I think I speak for the whole team when I say you are most welcome, Unknown. Hopefully the frequency of new posts will increase somewhat over the coming weeks!
Whooo! Thanks for bringing Neo XYX to my attention. I already have the LE of Pier Solar HD backed, and now I have the LE of Neo XYX preordered. Very exciting few months to be a Dreamcast fan.
Finally!
A freaking price point that I can JUSTIFY!
I was so sick of these guys that are trying to get over $50 for a Dreamcast game.
