Well i think its getting blown a bit out of proportion. All it is is that they are selling off some old stock, its not a rerelease. Gamestation here in the UK did the same thing about 6 months ago and got a load of new Dreamcasts and were selling them cheap. They were even selling brand new copies of Shenmue2 at the same time. A rerelease would be opening up some new factories and starting to produce the Dreamcast again. That hasnt and never will happen i'm afraid :(
As for NEC making games for Dc, yes they are, they announced that last year. Think they are releasing a few Jap Text Adventures and Dating Sims or something. They have never stopped producing games for the DC in Japan like they have in the rest of the world. Sadly, 9 out of 10 of the games released in Japan for the DC now seem to be Dating Sims and Text Adventures, and completely unplayable by anyone who doesnt know Japanese.

I agree, Japan still has a huge DC fanbase and those
of us still in to the DC can import the latest game
s from Japan (eg. Psyvarier 2). It would make sense
to re-release it in Japan... and they are selling ar
en't they, regardless of whether they are new machin
es or old stock (buried in Sega's HQ!)
