Dreamcast Cult Seaman Coming to Nintendo 3DS
Yes, virtual and ancient pets to return
Nintendo is apparently going to bring - or reboot or re-imagine - the classic old surreal pet sim Seaman from the SEGA Dreamcast to the 3DS handheld.
According to Andriasang, "In a feature about Nintendo, Nikkei mentions a plan from the company to revive other publisher's titles on the 3DS as part of a strategy to bring new strong titles to the system. The paper mentions Seaman as an example of this, but does not provide specifics."
MCV reminds us that, "The game, which is a Sega property, was one of the few to take advantage of the Dreamcast’s joypad microphone accessory. To all intents and purposes it is a virtual pet title, though its surreal tone, heart-warming tale and eerie narration from Leonard ‘Mr Spock’ Nimoy means it is fondly remembered by those who played it."
