You'll no doubt recall a few months ago we shared the news that French publisher JoshProd was lining up a range of new Dreamcast releases and re-releases. One of these was Breakers (our review is here), and another was the new Rush Rush Rally Reloaded. The good news is that the games have now been manufactured, the PAL cases have been acquired and shipping has commenced for everyone who pre-ordered. We heard some real horror stories about the website of choice (French games site Rush On Game), but is seems many of the niggles have been ironed out. JoshProd shared some amazing images on Facebook and we thought they were worth sharing here too:
Did you order? Have you got your games yet? If so, what are your thoughts on these new releases and re-releases? Let us know in the comments or join the discussion in our Facebook group.

Rush Rush Rally Reloaded Heads Up List Of Dreamcast Re-Releases
By
Tom Charnock
Hi Dreamcast Junkyard! It's true - Rush Rush Rally Reloaded is coming to the Sega Dreamcast and it will come in both PAL and DVD-style long box packaging! Both will be available in limited quantities but will feature the following improvements to the game:
- Two new single player modes: Time Attack and Challenge, which is like "Get Ahead" from the original game, but against CPU players.
- Totally redesigned menus
- Changed camera distance so you can see more of the road ahead
- Some improved graphics, including: light beams are larger and rotated more smoothly, more colourful billboards, additional illustrations
- Faster loading times
- Stable 60fps in both single and multiplayer modes
- Removed video mode switches between 640x480 and 320x240 resolutions, so low-resolution parts are now upscaled to 640x480
- A mode for detecting when people copy and paste lists
- Support for more character sets in name entry
- Usability improvements, such as last entered name is remembered for name entry so you don't have to re-enter your name every time you play
- Improved legibility of internet score codes
- Improved control configuration options
- Added engine sound options
- 6 languages: English, German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian
- DVD case version will feature an 8 page colour manual
As stated by Roel, the game will be available in a DVD style case, but also in PAL flavour too. Even more interesting is that the PAL print run will be handled by JoshProd, a small company based in France specialised in re-releasing old games. Josh Prod have been involved in several re-release projects, the most notable of which was a re-issue of Neo Geo AES cartridge Neo Drift Out (in collaboration with Visco) in 2016.
Along with Rush Rush Rally Reloaded, JoshProd will also be offering re-prints of certain previously released Dreamcast games such as Ghost Blade, Dux, Alice Mom's Rescue and a run of a new-to-Dreamcast 2D SNK fighter called Breakers. All of these come with PAL-styled packaging and redesigned manuals; and in some cases also include new content.
