Sega Dreamcast US Launch Date

Sega Dreamcast US Launch Date made news on April 15, 1999, with During a teleconference from its headquarters in San Francisco, Calif.

Sega Dreamcast US Launch Date is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. During a teleconference from its headquarters in San Francisco, Calif. this morning, videogame maker Sega of America revealed the price and launch date for the much-anticipated Sega Dreamcast, the ultimate video game machine in the United States. Sega Dreamcast will launch in the U.S. on September 9, 1999 at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $199.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
