I posted about The Last Hope (Neo Geo version) a couple of days back, and now PlayAsia have started taking pre-orders for the Sega Dreamcast version. It looks like some improvements have been made to the DC version as well (quote from PlayAsia):

Exclusive features only available in the Dreamcast™ compatible version:

16-bit CD soundtrack

VMU support (saving + visuals)

DC joypad + arcade stick support (R- and L-trigger support)

Use of DCs soundchips (64 channels/stereo)

Highres title screen

Exclusive CD Game Modes:

Adjusted difficulty (Reduction of shoot frequency und flight velocity of enemy bullets / no ranking)

Explosions / particle effects reduced for more clarity on screen

Better hitting response for hit enemies

Improved visualization of boss hit zones

The price in US $ is 39.99, and there is no specific release date yet, the site just says "in stock December". I still haven't tried this game yet (and didn't feel like shelling out for the cart!), but I think I might pre-order this, especially as it would be nice to get a new game for my Dreamcast, even if it is a homebrew game.
