So I bought a Atomiswave

I recently got a semi consolized atomiswave and I"m simply loving it.
Its a damn shame most of these games never made it to Dreamcast when the Atomiswave is literally a Dreamcast in a different shape.

how much did that run you?

Not as bad as you'd think. Around $350 + the game($75 for kof, $85 for demolishfist) + controllers($50 a piece shipped)

Isn't the atomiswave discontinued now that Sammy has Lindberg

Sega makes linberg not sammy. And lingberg is a complete failure and doing horriable. Only game doing well for it is Power Smash 3.

I don't think Lindbergh replaces Atomiswave. Sega seems to be using Lindbergh for "flagship" sorts of titles with high-end graphics (e.g. VF5, Power Smash 3), a role that I doubt Atomiswave was ever intended to play in the first place. I suspect Atomiswave is still cheaper for everybody involved as well...

I can't see how releasing a more powerful arcade platform would affect the Atomiswave - it was released years after the Naomi and Naomi 2, both of which were clearly technologically superior.

Wait, Sega Sammy makes Lindbergh, not Sega Sammy?

Even though they are one company they work as 2. Sammys unit is mainly the atomiswave and they work on Naomi also. Were as sega releases most of there arcade games on whatever the lastest and greatest is.

Ionno, Lingbergh just doesnt equal out. Price vs refinue you can make takes forever to break even. At about $3000 for the system and the game plus almost all of the games dont have a normal small cabnit. That means another $7000 for proper cabnits. Now charging $1 a game and you have 10k to make up for before you break even. Plus you gotta factor in shipping the unit.
