Thats really good that more DC games are coming out still. Hopefully Korea gaming compains will jump all over Dreamast. It should be like the next NeoGeo.

Well all the major compies have left DC. COmpies like playmore and other korea companies seem to like order Dead systems. They use the idea that if there the only ones making games for the system then there in high demand. So thats why.

It is just too bad that it will not be available perhaps just a little sooner (like a week) just to guarantee that it will be in my hands by Christmas. If indeed this is the last Dreamcast game, what a way to go.

Surely KOF 2001 is the last occidental interesting release for Dreamcast, but not the last. At sega.co.jp there are a release schedule for DC with some games for 2003 but these games don't seem interesting.
?More games? There are more than 500 games worldwide for Dreamcast. Only with a 10% of them you'll play hours and hours and hours...

?A new DOA game on Dreamcast? Heh heh heh... DOA3 is exclusively on Xbox and the announced DOA4 hasn't platform yet, but definitively will not be on Dreamcast.

Well, I'll continue training my moves with KOF 2000 until KOF 2001 is released.

You'd be surprised at what unannounced DC projects have been put on hold at 90% complete by various developers... KOF2001 will not be the last action based Dreamcast game. Developers can still make a tidy profit due to the almost non-existent licensing costs on Dreamcast but gamers have got to proof that the userbase is still active. Sales of KOF2000 and Ikaruga have been good so hopefully there is more to come.

Yeah, I can't believe how crazily Ikaruga sold, but personally, I think that game is a little overrated

Well I haven't played it, but people are obvioudly getting excited about it because os little else is being released (than AND the fact it's supposed to be a great game). I love the classic 2D shooter, and so will hopefully be getting ikaruga, and I hope the good sales inspire a few more games. A korean market would be real nice, but I wouldn't hold your breath

anyone know any where that tells you how much ikaruga sold, like number of sales.

I suppose this numbers comes from japanese sales only. The import sales aren't here, are they?
Because if the import sales are here (they can be easily half of them) the japanese sales were a little poor...
