Street Fighter Producer Likens 3DS Excitement To Dreamcast Launch

Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono is so psyched about the Nintendo 3DS that he’s likened the hype and buzz surrounding it to *drumroll* Sega’s Dreamcast. Yeah, we’re serious. Here’s the full quote, pulled from Edge Magazine courtesy of CVG:
First, we are in Nintendo country. Second, the feeling I have with 3DS is the same as when the Dreamcast came out – as a developer, I mean, these machines are so exciting.
We’re fascinated by it at Capcom, and diving into the innards at the moment, but you know there’s just so much more there to unlock; it’s got more to give.
It’s an odd comparison, given the stigma that surrounds the Dreamcast’s short-lived history. Still, the Dreamcast era was hardly a period of doom and gloom for publishers, it just came at Sega’s expense.
