Let’s take a little look at some of the happenings on the Dreamcast that you may have missed this month.
First up is Wave Game Studios, these guys have struck a deal with Senile Team and Lowtek Games to distribute some of the back-catalogue of Dreamcast games from yesteryear (well, a couple of years ago..) . Flea! is available for £24.99 which looks to be the same version that was available on Etsy some time ago but is actually a new pressing that not only comes on a proper pressed CD this time ( the initial 200 run was CD-R) but also some little addition features have been added. Grab it here.
Next up is Intrepid Izzy. This impressive platformer has been out and about for some time now, but Wave have released a special limited PAL packaged version that comes with the music CD in addition to the game disc. There’s only 25 of these available and it’ll be shipped out in March 2022 with a £49.99 price point from this link – don’t miss out folks! You can also order the original style release packaging as well as a Rush Rush Rally Racing Reloaded variant too.
Moving away from Senile Team but staying with Wave Games Studio, there’s a totally new game available from these guys retailing at only £19.99. Yeah Yeah Beebiss II is a game from John Riggs that features a very retro aesthetic, channeling 1990’s platforming across 10 levels complete with boss encounters, it all looks pretty wild and can be ordered here.
Good news for those who are awaiting Shadow Gangs, the Kickstarter has been relaunched again for the third and presumably final time, thankfully the goal has been reduced to a far more manageable £25,000 which is a far cry from the over £100,000 that was chucked around in the second round. There’s still plenty of those mighty fine £65 PAL editions left so do your bit and order one, make this game a reality – a lot of work has gone into the Dreamcast port and perhaps Shadow Gangs II would appear one day if this one is funded.

Last up is Flight of the Amazon Queen, the classic point and click adventure game which The Bit Station are carrying over on their website and is being handled by Retro Surge. According to the placeholder page which features tentative artwork, the game should be launching next month for the Dreamcast for $24.99, very reasonable all said and done. Let’s hope this one doesn’t skip it’s launch again like it has in the past. Order yourself a copy here.
