don't think so (or at least it won't happen anytime soon). if you can afford the japanese versions now, you better not wait for a US release because even if it is annouced ,it will take at least a month to be released.

i hate to say it but any new dreamcast game will never hit the us market since they have not made a game for it since nhl 2k2 and to anwser your question no because sega abadoned the system like 8 mothes ago and import is the only way for these games and if they did manage to get the licence for the games it would be a very low run like maybe 2000.but this is manily because the average gamer atleast where i live thinks the system sucks and xbox is the shit dreamcast had more quailty games the the xbox and they are saying the same thing about the gcube but that is that i cannot change there minds just laugh at them.

Do you know ANY companies still releasing games stateside? How many "major" stores still have DC sections? If they have them, are there any "new" games or are they just used ones?

If you answered NO to any of the above questions, THAT is why you won't see these games on the DC stateside.

You have a greater likelihood of someone like Agetec licensing the PS2 versions and bringing THOSE over. And since Playmore has no plans to do so, that is, release KOF or any Neo Geo game in the US, don't expect ANYONE to do them. I can't imagine any company releasing a game from Playmore, PM games being the "lowly, crappy 2D games" that they are (this is NOT how I feel, but the majority of the US gaming public). US gamers just don't buy into 2D games on a system other than the GBA. Said but true.

There's no way we'll see any more DC games in the states. Every one left it for dead months ago. I'm planning on getting a Jap DC or getting a boot disk for a DC so i can play some KOF. I still love the DC and I think it kicks major ass. There are alot of awesome games for it. Many like MVC2, SF3, project justice, Tech romancer, and many more.

I'm afraid not. The only way to get the Dreamcast or any games from Playmore is having to get the japanese import versions.

Anyways Dreamcast officially died in the US a long time ago yet it's still going in Japan.
