Katana to Become Dream Cast?

TOKYO - Just two days away from the official announcement of Sega's next machine, and the rumors have started flying about its official name. Brace yourself....

Some people are saying that the name will be related to the word "dream." Others are saying that the official name for the machine is actually Dream Cast. Some are saying none of the above - and that Dream Cast refers to the lineup of developers Sega has assembled to develop for the new system and nothing more. The words "Dream Cast" were apparently spotted on printed material Sega plans to distribute at the Thursday press conference.

Whether any of this is true or not, all will be cleared up at Sega's press conference on May 21, where it will announce the name of the machine and hopefully more details as to the release date in Japan and the first round of games. We'll let you know when we get the news
