And this is why some games are *still* being released (in Japan) for
Dreamcast, because they keep making NAOMI arcade machines (shooters,
mostly). The release schedule is once every 18 months or so, but that's
not bad for a system that was declared dead in 2003.

Sega still
uses a lot of SuperH-based systems (particularly NAOMI,
basically
a Dreamcast on steroids).
This is what made the Dreamcast such a great system for Arcade ports.
You basically had the port done when you released the game in the
arcade. Name any other console with that many *good* arcade ports!
