I have been talking to the guys behide the Postal series RWS (Running with Scissors as there Postal 2 game went very well and there online MP postal 2 comes out soon as I asked them will we see it on Xbox... And they replied Yes we are working on something for the Xbox weather it be Postal 2 MP or Postal 3 they really wanna get on the Xbox side of things and they like the sound of XBOX LIVE.

None of these have been officially announced as far as I know. XBox releases of the Chihiro-based Out Run 2 and Virtua Cop 3 are not unlikely though.

Hello there,

They are very much likely seeing as The House of the Dead 3 uses the same board.

Yes, I agree, that's what I meant by "not unlikely"

But they haven't been announced yet as far as I know.

It's still unclear what will happen with Shenmue 3, unfortunately. I think it's unlikely that this will be an XBox exclusive game (if it will appear on XBox at all).

The XBox version of Shenmue II sold very poorly. With the failure of the XBox in Japan I just can't imagine an XBox exclusive Shenmue 3.

Which is why if the DC version of Puyo Puyo Fever sells really well (especially if it outsells the others!) it may see a DC release, however, it is unlikely I still have hope. It's just not the same spanning a series(I'm talking linked games not new ones that use the same characters) across multiple machines, that would be like releasing the first half of a mini series only on VHS and the second half only on DVD.

Shenmue III is in the planning stages and developement is forthcoming, as confirmed by AM2. I don't know if that means they will actually follow through with it but in my mind that means a third installment is pretty likely.

Dreamcast 2

Maybe they meant Dreamcast also. Besides I don't think Sega makes sequels to consoles.

Megadrive 2 mastersystem 2 they have done before. in eur and australia at lest.

Dreamcast 2 would be great but they would have to pick up support of the dc1 first so i would doubt it.

Where those actual sequels? or just a redesign. In otherwords did they have any games that didn't work with a megadrive1 or master system 1?

I know I've seen a genesis in the US that actually says "genesis 3" on it, but it is just a genesis 1 that has gone through 2 redesigns. (usually making it more compact).

To my knowledge SEGA has always given a new name to it's new consoles, and that is cool. I even thought Super NES was kind of a dumb name (good system though).

Yeah they did the master system one has a card slot for games and the 3d glasses that did not work on mastersystem 2 at all and all your card games were useless.

Some genesis 1 games would not work on genesis 2 . My copy of golden axe for example does not work on my megadrive2 and was well known problem as when it went to budget it had megadrive 1 only on it.

Heres a quote from sega doc.

The Sega Megadrive 2 was the only redesign that the Megadrive got. The redesign reduced cost and size by consolidating chips, and integrated stronger region encoding (which broke compatibility with some older games.) The original console itself went through innumerable revisions, unknown to most users save the ones who owned one of the very first consoles, which had trouble playing a few of the newer games. A new version of the Sega Mega-CD, the Sega Mega-CD 2, was made to accomodate this.

Other problems like the megadrive 2 had poor sound lacked a few chips making games sound bad.

Mastersystem 1 has card support and 3 built in games. some games worked a lot better on version 1 then 2 as well. might be a eur problem but i doubt it.

3 games?, I only remember the snail maze game unless you had a differant model over there. Oh & off to OT we go, not realy an emu thread is it?

I REALLY Hope they don't even THINK of making a Dreamcast 2. Dreamcast is fine just the way it is. Leave the pointless upgrades to companies like Sony and Microsoft who've got money to burn.
