An anonymous reader writes "You see those stories popping up every now and then — new Dreamcast game released, first SNES game in 15 years etc — but an in-depth feature published today takes a look at the teams behind the retro revival, and looks at why they do what they do. Surprisingly, there seems to be a viable audience for new releases — one developer says his games sell better on Dreamcast than they do on Nintendo Wii. Even if the buyers vanished, the retro games would still keep coming though: 'I wager I'd have to be dead, or suffering from a severe case of amnesia, to ever give this up completely,' says one developer." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Meet+the+Gamers+Keeping+Retro+Consoles +Alive%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11w8wKi) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F03%2F23%2F1529209%2Fmeet-the-gamers-keeping-retro-consoles-alive%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/03/23/1529209/meet-the-gamers-keeping-retro-consoles-alive?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
