Why I would like to see Chu Chu Rocket 2 (or CCR HD)!

There will always be one game that everyone will always enjoy,but for me;that is Chu Chu Rocket as I've always enjoyed the game on Dreamcast since it is the original version.

The reason I want to see Chu Chu Rocket HD is because it can be revived for the newer generation aswell as the older fans who have always enjoyed it,but is pretty much a 'family fun friendly' game and is still enjoyable to this day.It would be great to see it for the recent generation consoles as it is only on the Sega Dreamcast (excluding ports) and would be good to be released on XBLA,PSN and Nintendo eShop.

Since the original version did sold extremely well back in 1999 and 2000,it always made me think why it has never been released on other home consoles which it should,but Sega has changed after leaving the hardware business after the Dreamcast and doesn't care about certain franchises,but also they took down certain iOS and Android games from their online stores including Chu Chu Rocket.

If an HD port would work,it would be great to see if it has more features into it aswell as the online gameplay which the original had.

On the other hand,I would also like to see a sequel which would revive the franchise in a very great way,but also will bring it back into the light.There are lots of fans who want to see this game bought back and I would be glad to see it happen after waiting fifteen years for it.I'm not entirely sure what I would like to in a sequel,but will be exciting to see Chu Chu Rocket 2 get made for the modern game consoles and I was thinking if a portable version got work for both the 3DS and PS Vita.Be great to see Chu Chu Rocket back on the 'Portable' go on consoles just like the version on Gameboy Advance.

Microsoft=The 'modern-day' Sega?

I have always felt that Microsoft is the Sega we know today,but of course a different company.

Since Microsoft supported a lot on the Dreamcast with Sega,it used the same operation system as the Xbox which was Windows CE even though the Xbox was planned to use the GD-ROM
format,but never did due to licensing.

There were speculation of the Xbox being backwards compatible which never happen since online gaming was a huge thing for the Dreamcast,but would have had issues for both Dreamcast and Xbox games connecting online.

Without the Dreamcast backwards compatibility,Sega supported a lot on the Xbox with most of their franchises once their last game console failed and became a third party company afterwards,which were originally planned for Dreamcast such as Crazy Taxi 3,Gun Valkyre,Super Monkey Ball,Panzar Dragoon Orta aswell as many more which makes me think that the Xbox is the Dreamcast 2 as we know it,so we actually do have a Dreamcast 2 which I flipping think is great!The controllers on both consoles are similar with the button layout and style especially with the A,B,X and Y buttons which are even seen with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One,but feels that Microsoft is a bit like the 'modern-day' Sega with a lot of great Sega franchises on the Microsoft since 2001.

To me,the Xbox 360 is the Dreamcast 3 and the Xbox One is the Dreamcast 4.We still see Sega in every Microsoft console to date even after leaving the hardware business,but it does make you wonder why the Dreamcast Collection compliation was only released the Xbox 360,but does make you think.Yes?
