Coin-op development on the Naomi practically ensures a steady diet of high caliber
software for the Dreamcast over the next couple of months with Out Trigger, 18 Wheeler,
and Marine Fishing on the way. 18 Wheeler appears to be highly desired based on pre-orders
that we have received thus far. |

When the original Bemani game Beatmania
hit the market many moons ago, it was enjoyable and fun. Playing the part of a DJ at Club
Katta was something new and different. Few probably imagined that it would spawn the
beginning of a new video gaming genre that would take Japan by storm. Since the original
DJ sim, guitars, dancing, kayboards, and drums have been added to the Bemani ensemble to
get gamers into hand-eye coordinated rhythm. |
