A Netherlands-based Sega fansite recently posted a titillating report received from an anonymous source, who claimed Sonic Adventure would soon be running at breakneck speeds onto Xbox Live Arcade. Accompanying this report is the image seen above, which, in addition to listing the game itself, also mentions an "extend package," which ... well, which we can't say out loud without giggling like schoolchildren.

As psyched as we'd be to see the azure rodent make a not-terrible appearance on the 360, we're going to treat this with as much apprehension as we can muster until we hear something official from Sega.

It'll probably be the "pretty broken" DX version which had some neat added stuff, but managed to be buggier than the original which is quite a feat! The extra stuff will be locked away as that Extend Package/DLC. Oh for the days you got extras included in the original price..

PartnerNet never lies, so you can seal this deal.

If real, hopefully this means Crazy Taxi is coming too.

It is real, the source is the same site that broke the lid off of some other Sega stuff, like the Vintage Collections.

Maybe there's hope for some Panzer Dragoon Saga?

Simply: no. Lost source code means only full Sega Saturn emulation of an iso is required, and that takes a lot of raw hardware power up to be anywhere near worth it.

When is that going to happen?

...sorry, I had to take the shot before anyone else did.

I still do not like Sonic Adventure

please do not let nostalgia blind you. This game is terrible. I have it on GameCube (it got some nice music a few fun levels, but the rest of that game is garbage).

There is already a couple of Dreamcast games on the XBLA, like Ikaruga, Rez and Soul Caliber.

I forgot about Rez but was it ever clarified that it was the Dreamcast version and not the PS2 version? Soul Calibur is an arcade port, not a Dreamcast port btw. I didn't know about Ikaruga.

It must not take too much hardware power. Devil Summoner and Princess Crown on PSP are running in a Saturn emulator.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

Soul Calibur was a dreamcast game... the arcade game was made on the PSone arcade board from namco (or the beefed up one, but still lesser than the DC version). The Dreamcast game was heavily improved, and that's the version that is on Live.

This really needs to be in a stickied FAQ thread or something.

Anyway, I liked SA despite its flaws, but if they got PSO I'd rebuy a 360.

Wouldn't SEGA have to relicense the Offspring/Bad Religion songs again if they wanted to bring Crazy Taxi to XBLA/PSN?

Wrong.

Arcade Soul Calibur was a System 12 (PS1-compatible) arcade game. The Dreamcast version was totally overhauled visually (much like Tekken Tag Tournament when it made the jump from System 12 to PS2). The XBLA version is the upgraded Dreamcast version with bizarre 4:3 1080p support.

Will buy and if this means there's a greater chance of Powerstone 2 coming to Xbla... :D

Wasn't it rumored that Sony were trying to make DC games exclusive on psn?

Sega re-released Crazy Taxi on PSP without the iconic tracks. With custom soundtracks on 360, who cares though?

Soul Calibur was never even released in the arcades was it? That was Soul Edge or whatever the fuck.

No, Soul Calibur definitely had an arcade version. It looked quite a bit like Soul Edge/Blade.
