Microsoft and SEGA have had a long history with each other. Following the demise of the Dreamcast, games that were potentially supposed to be released for the short-lived console ended up on Microsoft’s (then) up-and-coming Xbox, which makes this announcement seem like it should have happened sooner.

According to Xbox emulator site XB1 emu, a Dreamcast emulator is coming to Xbox One! They promise that players will be able to “Play your favorite Sega Dreamcast games on your Xbox One! No region lock, support save/load state, video/input configuration, and a turbo mode.” The emulator is scheduled to be released later this summer.

Like other similar emulators, I have a feeling this one will get shut down. Given SEGA’s recent interest in reviving dormant IP, this endeavor by XB1 Emu might be short lived. Do you guys think it’s a good idea? Discuss in the comments below!
