Yesterday marked the 10-year anniversary of the U.S. launch of the Sega Dreamcast, and how better to commemorate the occasion than announcing a new game for the long-deceased console? Developer Senile Team and publisher redspotgames are partnering to deliver Rush Rush Rally Racing to the Dreamcast later this October.

Judging by the game's trailer, Rush Rush Rally Racing seems to be a throwback to 16-bit era racers like Micro Machines. It sports a 2D, top-down view, and the footage above brags that the game features "no realistic backgrounds" and "no sponsored cars" -- just "fun, retro gameplay."

Though the publisher appears to be rooted in Europe, Rush Rush Rally Racing will be region free -- meaning it should run on just about any Dreamcast console you have lying around, regardless of where it came from. It also supports a number of the peripherals that helped define the Dreamcast before its premature demise, including rumble packs, VMUs, arcade sticks, and other third party controllers. There's even an online scoreboard, assuming you can still get your console to connect to the internet.

They're currently accepting preorders for Rush Rush Rally Racing over at redspotgames' online store. It'll set you back $22.00 when it arrives sometime next month.
