Classic Game Room competitive review compares and talks about the differences, pros and cons when collecting for the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Dreamcast.
CGR battles the greatest game systems from the 90s with four controller ports, loads of great games and awful controllers. Who wins this collector's deathmatch, the Nintendo 64 game system or the Sega Dreamcast?
For collecting games today, I'd say get a Dreamcast. I've had mine for about three years and I've managed to get my hands on around 90% of the games that typically show up on "best of" lists for the system (MvC2, Sonic Adventure 1&2, RE: Code Veronica, Skies of Arcadia, Space Channel 5, Jet Grind Radio, etc.) as well as some hidden gems. Once I can get Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Grandia 2, and Power Stone 2, my collection will pretty much be complete. I've gotten a little lucky with what I've spent on my games so far $11 for a MvC2 disc and I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing Grandia 2 for $30 when I had the chance) but a lot of the staples for the console still run less than $20-25 with the case and manual, and if you're willing to settle for just the disc, even more of the better, rarer games drop below $50. Good luck finding prices in that range for most of the best or "essential" N64 games, and I'd say the Dreamcast library has just as many quality games if not more than the N64. Plus the console itself will cost you half as much as an N64 I've noticed in retro shops, and that's just comparing base models, and the accessories like controllers and memory VMUs won't set you back half as much as the Nintendo console's equivalent. Getting an N64, enough controllers for multiplayer and the quality staples will set you back a hell of a lot more than doing the same for the Dreamcast.
The one thing I'll say for the N64 is that it's much, MUCH easier to find quality games for the N64 in retro gaming shops, and of you frequently visit those shops you will eventually find whatever you may be looking for while most shops I've been to have been lacking in their Dreamcast offerings; if I'd started collecting N64 games three years ago instead of Dreamcast, and I'd had the cash, my collection for it would have been complete after a year just by buying games from one shop in my area.
I should also point out Dreamcast interest has been on the rise the past couple of years in the retro gaming community (at least in my area) so price difference in collecting the games for either system could be more equivalent sooner if not later. So if you're really interested in the Dreamcast and what it has to offer (and you want hard copies of the game, like myself instead of using the burned ROM hacks), you should start collecting now before pricing starts going up.
dreamcast so good. should have made it a fair fight gamecube vs dc
GameCube would destroy it
Not even a fair comparison. DC vs PS2 or Gamecube vs Xbox/Xbox vs PS2/Gamecube vs PS2 would be fair.
that really depends. if you want to play 480p on ngc you will get poor but its cheap with the dc. but i gotta admid that metroid beats allmost everything dc has. and i am big sega fan
Sega dreamcast 1998 GameCube came out years later
When I read the title is was a bit sceptical.
The Dreamcast is from the GameCube generation, but its a "What should you collect for" comparison. I guess it's OK to vs different generation for that reason.
My hand is in the air btw. ;)
My N64 survived a house fire from 10+ years ago and is still going strong!
People have too much nostalgia associated with N64. Like Goldeneye? I'd recommend playing Timesplitters 2, or the remastered 60 fps Perfect Dark on Xbox 360/One. Want to play Shenmue? Then pick up that Dreamcast, boy. It just has that style.
lol butthurt Nintendo Fanboys, what the fuck are you talking about the ps1,dreamcast had better everything,3rd party games, not like n64 where the only good games are 1st party, take off your nostalgia goggles
@Austin i couldn't help but fuckin laugh at kurt's comment lmao, fuckin hardcore fanboy i swear
br426
Well. He's not wrong, tho. The N64 is more powerful than the PS1. Just a tad bit off-topic. lol
CaptainAtomSmasher speaking of hardcore blind fanboys, you show up! lol what's next bro? you're gonna tell me that the n64 version of resident evil 2 is better then the ps1 and dc version? lolol sheesh
br426
You're the fanboy here. I'm just speaking about what I know about the systems. Do some research. Also, the N64 does have advantages. Both storylines are on the cartridge, and because of the format, the game has little to no loading. You could've picked a better example. Since most N64 versions of games are worse, because of the limited space on carts.
I just couldn't get into the N64. There's pretty much nothing that interests me, and the visual quality is awfully muddy. It's not that I don't like old graphics, it's just that EVERYTHING 3D on the N64 is ugly.
I imagine you will never read, let alone respond to this comment BUT on behalf of old (and new I suppose) gamers everywhere, I want to thank you for you detailed, passionate, informative and just plain fun (and funny) efforts over the years. Be it review, opinion, facts or history, it's ALL GOOD when you present it to us-
Kudo's! Thanks! We appreciate it
N64 = Racing / FPS / 1st Party Games /
Dreamcast = RPG / Shmup / Fighters / 1st Party Games
Racing? There is Mario Kart sure, but I don't think that is enough and there isn't much of anything else.
@@wyterabitt2149 google racing games on the n64 or watch Glenn Plant n64 reviews on RUclips and you'll be quite surprised that there are that many.
@@jacktsang05 I know there are a few racing games, I know someone with a decent collection and I have played a few racing games with them. But other than Mario Kart the others tend to either be average, slow and poor, or on both systems and the Dreamcast version is better anyway.
Also you timed this reply really well, I just opened the laptop for the first time today a few minutes ago and checked youtube - you had just replied!
Not sure why you would compare a 5th gen console to a 6th gen. The N64 was a rival to the Saturn back in the day. The Dreamcast destroyed the N64 (look at Shadowman) but are both excellent consoles. Own them both.. I do!!
it got smashed by the PS2
yeah but the CPU could of been more powerful then the Dreamcast cpu, but it was a weak system regardless.
do u play both?
the dreamcast lost to a dvd player
therock3314 I still own all 5th and 6th gen consoles which are fully functioning and have huge collections for them including many unofficial unreleased games. I have owned most from launch and can see the merits in collecting for all of them. It is true, as you say, that the DVD player aspect of the PS2 was a huge positive for many for the PS2. Whereas I can see that the Dreamcast had a far superior post-life homebrew and indie scene. I truly find it idiotic and asinine for those trying to continue the console wars from decades ago.. many of whom were neither born nor active consumers at that time!!
Dreamcast: It's still Thinking since 1998
Dreamcast has Power Stone. N64 doesn't. This discussion is over.
Bruh. You just gave me a nostalgia rush.. Been looking for powerstone Always mistook dream cast for gamecube.
Get them both of only for the Treasure games: Mischief Makers and Sin and Punishment on the N64, Ikaruga on the Dreamcast and Bangai-O / Bangaioh on both. All of these games are 10/10 masterpieces made by a power at their peak.
Only one true way to settle this.
If you are a wrestling fan, get the N64. If not, get a Dreamcast
Or if you're a fan of platformers.
Yeah the Dreamcast port of Rayman is fantastic but other than that the Dreamcast is bit lacking in high end platformers.
+Drink a Beer and Play a Game what if you owned both consoles?
Fishkeeper63 sonic adventure wipes the floor with mario ' s stop sign looking face
Dreamcast hands down. The VGA box makes Dreamcast games look better than the Wii. It has keyboard and mouse support and a modem which you can STILL USE to play the Dreamcast ONLINE! The Dreamcast can also play CD's! Yeah that's right, N64. CD'S!!!
But but but.. the N64 doesn't have load times, meaning that you can view those tiny 4k of texture cache graphics in a hurry! :)
Thanks for bringing Zusar Vasar into the light. That Command & Conquer review has been four years in the making. I'm glad you have made a public review schedule.
Conker's Bad Fur Day. Hands down. N64.
Dreamcast may be my all time favorite system, with the possible exception of Vectrex. I'll never forget watching the intro to "Soul Caliber" the first time. What a jaw dropper!. The games looked amazing and played well. Definitely worth owning.
Isn't Hydro Thunder on the N64 as well?
Yeah but it's not even close to as good as the Dreamcast version.
Here's how should do, and the videos out of them:
NES vs Master System
SNES vs Genesis
N64 vs Dreamcast
Now you should, if given the chance, do:
Dreamcast vs Gamecube
Game Gear vs Gameboy (Color since it plays both original and Colors)
Saturn vs N64
Well we all know who won. DreamCast was the first to bring the arcade home in arcade form with the insert coin text on the screen. N64 brought a change in how videogames was made
Can you do a Dreamcast vs. GameCube review?
Both consoles didn't do well compared to their competitors, they didn't have a lot of third-party support, but they do have awesome exclusive games that make each system worth playing.
Dreamcast hands. I got mine about a year ago on eBay for just under $70. It came with two controllers to memory card Tony hawk pro SoluCaliber and a carrying case which everything fit into. I was surprised how good of condition everything was in when I finally received it.
The Dreamcast is the final retro console I will be adding to my collection in the next few months once I have saved up enough money for the console and a decent library of games Shenmue, 1&2 etc.
That's not far those 2 consoles are from different generations. He should have done Sega Saturn vs Nintendo 64 OR Dreamcast vs GameCube.
Christian Young Dreamcast came out in the 90s, and Gamecube came out in the 2000s. That wouldn't be a fair comparison.
The Dreamcast was the first of the 6th generation. It came out long after the N64 and should be compared with the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube in terms of its capabilities.
N64 came out long after the Saturn and PS1 so your argument's void PS1/Saturn 1994 N64 1996 2 years difference Dreamcast 1998 2 years difference.
@@wizzgamer dreamcast was 9/9/99
nate Wrong the Dreamcast came out in 1998 in Japan so it’s hardware is from 1998.

PTGKChrisHD couldn't agree more
I enjoyed hours of foreplay with both the N64 and Dreamcast, so thanks for asking!
I love the Nintendo 64 so much, but the Dreamcast will always be the best of the two, in my opinion.
Dude, I love those controllers. I think the DreamCast has my favorite controller, hands down
very well said Mark i'm definitely looking forward to the Conker's Bad Fur Day review that is my favorite game on the N64
I stepped into the dark side...... And I love it! Got the 64 when it first came out, got a nice size collection. And now collecting for the Dreamcast and having a blast with the system and games.
I love the n64
Dreamcast graphics still look good, N64 has aged poorly.
No it hasn't. Most first-party games and Rare games age pretty damn well.
referral madness Goemon aged very well. It is one of the very few Nintendo 64 games to have music equal to that of the quality on a disc, as it made great use of the extra space on the cartridge. It had amazing environments, though could have had a vehicle system at some point; amazing castles, which had music that progressively got better the farther you got and so much more.
It depends on how you have it hooked up. I have an S-video cable to a S-video to HDMI upscaler adapter hooked up to my N64 and the hi rez games that use the Expansion Pak like Rogue Squadron look fantastic on my HDTV. With this connection even low rez games look good. Without the adapter and s-video cable the games were unplayable on an HDTV.
***** Yee.
*empty wallet*
At the time n64 was more popular, a few of my friends had N64. Dreamcast was popular to a smaller degree but only at launch, I have good memories of playing code veronica and shenmue at my mates house. We stopped playing the dreamcast about a year after launch but were still playing n64 in 2001, but we switched to the ps2 when GTA3 came out :)
I love Sega but was never a Dreamcast fan. I love the Genesis and the Saturn. Despite better hardware, I might go for the N64 because of Goldeneye, Rogue Squadron, and Mario Kart.
Oh, good, you did mention Ferrari F355 Challenge on Dreamcast. Also on PS2 (with a few nifty enhancements like "Good Driver" mode and minor graphical upgrades) but I have an easier time with the career mode on Dreamcast, although I love both versions.
I also love Metropolis Street Racers (the first game in the series that became Project Gotham Racing on XBox) and Test Drive: Le Mans (a.k.a. Le Mans 24 Hours on PS2) on Dreamcast plus Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 and Hydro Thunder. I honestly don't have too much experience playing N64 (my youngest brother had one but he moved out of our house shortly after getting it), but I did enjoy Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA and Beetle Adventure Racing.
A lot of people say the Dreamcast is cheaper to collect for, but here in Colorado, N64 is the most common console I have seen to date! A regular N64 here with AV cables, power supply, and a controller will cost you about only $35. But a Dreamcast with all the cables and controller, usually is about $200 here in your local ma and pa game store. And I have been to every Goodwill in my state, and every one of them has at least about 5 N64 carts in stock, and when you ask for Dreamcast games, they all say: "What's a Dreamcast?"
Whats that dreamcast game called you have with the green robot lions on the cover? its like Zo5or..
my two favorite consoles of all time! personally i'd give the n64 the slight edge over the DC just cause the n64 was by far the most groundbreaking console of that generation and did everything from force feedback, to analogue thumbstick control, to being an upgradeable and 4-player console out of the box before anyone else really did any of that. it also pioneered all the elements of modern 3d gaming that other consoles of that generation and generations since have essentially only borrowed from and built on. if there had never been an n64, there would almost certainly be no dreamcast, or at least not the dreamcast as we know it.
So much bullshit in such a short comment. Force feedback is what you call the rumble function which was just a shitty version of what arcades did before. The Sega Genesis already had an analogue controller and so did the PS1 before the N64 had it. Upgradeable consoles are way older than the N64. The N64 came out 2 years after the PS1 which was all about 3D gaming and you also had the Saturn, Atari jaguar, 3DO and so on which already did 3D gaming before the N64???? Are you serious? Do you really think that Nintendo invented 3D gaming? Do you not know that other consoles and especially PC did it way before them? Are you really this stupid?
BoloYung firstly, you need to find real problems in life to get your panties all in a twist about.
secondly, let's break down your rebuttal one thing at a time:
1. many consoles had analogue controllers before the n64. that's known. the majority of them, including the one for the genesis, were not at all commonplace and not first party accessories. the ps1 dual shock with thumbsticks came out well after the n64 was the first console to really make analogue control via the thumbstick front-and-center (literally and figuratively) in 3d game design from that time forward.
2. plenty of companies and consoles were doing 3d before the n64 yes, even the SNES and genesis and several before them, but the n64 really pioneered the 3d art form in home consoles and set the standard for what modern game development would become in that area. no one - not sony or anyone - was making 3d games remotely like mario 64, wave race, zelda OOT, goldeneye, etc etc etc - especially on consoles - before the n64 set those and many other standards. the ps1's game library largely blew ass for its first year of two of existence and its games started getting a lot better once nintendo showed up and set a higher bar and made so many types of games on the n64 that had at best never been seen before at all, and at worse never been seen before on a console. also we're talking about consoles here, not arcade machines, but nice try. because...
3. the rumble pack made force feedback the industry standard in every console controller that came after it. rumbling steering wheels on arcade machines didn't do that. sorry. again, nice try!
4. for the above-mentioned and everything else, the n64 made things commonplace and set so many industry standards that just didn't exist before it did. from 4 player control to creating entire genres and subgeners that simply didn't exist on any other console before it did.
anyway, thanks for trying to prove to me how big your dick is. i'm so impressed. d-:
+BoloYung While I don't necessarily agree with the original comment, you seem to be really picking and choosing things he said and taking them WAY out of context.
He never said Nintendo INVENTED 3D. He said he felt Nintendo pioneered modern 3D gaming. Very different.
The analog Genesis controller you speak of was an obscure third party controller. While the PS1 analog joystick came out shortly before the N64 launch, you had to buy it separately. DualShock controllers weren't included standard until well after the N64 launch. All N64 controllers had that functionality out of the box from launch-- that was the point he was trying to make. Although a number of systems you neglected to mention did this long before Sony, such as the 5200 and the Vectrex (and even the Odyssey!)
It's clear you don't agree with what was said, but you don't have to twist and convolute what was said to try to make an argument. It only makes you look like the one who doesn't know what they're talking about. Getting facts straight also helps.
Have both. I think I'm also a little bit biased as I tend to gravitate towards the N64 but the Dreamcast features cannot be overlooked. I love the Dreamcast jump pak which is the best vibration module ever in my opinion. Mark you forgot to mention that the Dreamcast has seaman and the N64 has hey you pikachu which is also a microphone game (might be pathetic though).
Edit: If a game is a multiplat, the answer is a no brainer, go for the Dreamcast version for extra graphical fidelity.
Not sure how well they hold up but i loved Mario 64,Pilotwings 64, Blastcorps and Diddi Kong racing:)
For N64 1st person shooters dont forget the Turoks, bet the Dreamcast couldnt pull of the amazing fog effect:P
Great review !!.
Which of the 2 will last longer hardware wise. As what i see in some chat room they said the cartridge base game consoles last longer than CD based game consoles.
Dreamcast
The only game I play on the dreamcast was Shenmu. Maybe I should give it another try. That was an awsome video Mark! Keep on the good work!
Shouldn't this be N64 vs Saturn as they were competing in the same console gen and the Dreamcast was in the PS2/XBOX/GAMECUBE gen?
Great comparison Mark! I'd deffo take the Dreamcast over the N64, however it would be a better comparison if it was Gamecube vs Dreamcast, they're both 6th gen systems.
I already have a N64, i want a Dreamcast, while i think the Dreamcast can be better, idk if i'll play a game there even more than i have played Super Mario 64, easily one of my favorite games of all time, i have been following Panenkoek tricks and trying to imitate them on console, with some nice results... so again, i'm biased, but i'll be acquiring a Dreamcast soon, even tho i have already played all the games i wanted because Steam and Gamecube.
I'm personally a fan of the N64 except the stock controller and use a Superpad 64 Plus, and these days it's easier for me to find N64 games at decent prices then the Sega Dreamcast, but I do own a Dreamcast, and pick up games for it when I can find them at a good price out in the wild, which is not often, so my "official" collection is still kind of small lol!
I tend to throw more along the line of Sega, but that doesn't mean I don't like Nintendo, I love the Gameboy Advance, Color, SP and the GameCube. I recently got my hands on an N64 console and am currently trying to get it to work. I have the Sega Genesis model 2 and a lot of Sega collection games made for later consoles like: PS2, PS3 and GameCube. All and all, you cannot go wrong with any of them. like Frank said, make your choice based on the game catalogs
The thing about the N64 controller is that it feels great playing games like Mario 64, it feels as if the controller was designed for that game. When it comes to 3rd party games it often feels awkward. I can see Nintendo's thinking behind the design, the middle grip with the analog stick is for playing 3D games, and the left outer grip with the D-pad is meant for 2D games. The N64 had very few 2D games in the end, and the button placement wasn't really suitable for them. The analog stick is great when the controllers are new but without maintenance they eventually fail.
LOL come on. I'm an N64 fanboy and even I can tell you the Dreamcast kicks the N64s ass :P There isn't really much of a comparison to be made. Dreamcast was the best console of its gen (technically I count it as N64/PS1 gen since it was released shortly after the N64 iirc and a few years before the PS2 and Gamecube, even though for some reason most people consider it gamecube gen?), it has great performance for the time, an excellent game library, internet connectivity, a mini console thing you can hook up to the controller. AND Windows (I think windows ME). How can you beat that? :D
Dreamcast is definitely sixth gen bro.
Dreamcast came out less than a year before the PS2. The Saturn came out like a year before the N64.
Basically the Dreamcast belongs with the ps2/xbox/gamecube gen.
Indeed, Plus the Dreamcast is very nearly on par with the ps2 in terms of power, In fact multiplats that existed for both systems almost always looked better on Dreamcast due it being an easier console to program for.
it's kind of like an atari 5200 fiasco where its difficult to define its generation since it was launched at the end of one generation yet a bit too early for the beginning of the next. if you say it's fifth gen though, that means Sega released two entirely different consoles in the same generation which doesn't really fit the model but again, look at the 5200
The Dreamcast also had more VRam then the PS2 which helped
I like that you match consoles with unusual colors.
N64 is my childhood, Great memories.
The N64 kind of doesn't hold up as most of its best games can be found elsewhere like pretty much almost every Rare game from that era via Rare Replay, or a remake like Ocarina of Time for the 3DS. Plus like pretty much anything Nintendo nowadays you're paying a premium for the real thing, since a lot of people want it, and sellers notice that.
Has Sin & Punishment gone up? In the last year I think I bought the game for like $30 loose which is cheaper than I was expecting. I hadn't heard of Giga Wing until recently and now that's like a $100 game, and $150 for the second I think. :(
The other "spaceship" shooters I know of on the N64 are Bangai-oh (Japanese, and the cart is over $100 loose), Dezaemon 3D and the only one I know to get a US release, Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth.
I have both, but I find myself playing my Dreamcast more... I think it may be because I didn't play the N64 much when it was relevant, so I don't have the nostalgia with it I guess.
Everyone I knew at the time had PlayStation, and I had my Saturn. I did eventually got a PlayStation, but I kinda wish I went for anN64 at the time instead.
Dreamcast is very relevant now. Games are comng back online in droves now. Chu Chu Rocket and a boling game went online this summer. Because bad disc checking you can pirate Dreamcast games to all hell and back. I tend to avoid that, but in the case of Shenmue you have to go piracy route if you want a version with Japanese voices and English subs. If I get through and like I'll see if I can throw down dem bucks for a PAL Shenmue 2. My Dreamcast was modded by the last owner to work with games from all regions, then I tweaked the disc reader to make it work more consistently as it struggled with some regions still. It's a PAL Dreamcast at heart with the blue swirl.
Mark Dreamcast has Phantasy Star online, Grandia 2, Power Stone, Skies of Arcadia, Technomancer too
Dreamcast has SKIES OF ARCADIA, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE, GRANDIA II.........REZ, DAYTONA USA, D2, POWER STONE 1 AND 2, CRAZY TAXI 1 and 2...
I have N64 and there are no more tan 50 games of my interest... And none is a MARIO, ZELDA related.
I love both N64 and Dreamcast, I bet I could make a good comparison video of the two : p
And as for which one to pick, it just depends on what kind of games you like. The person picking between the two should just do some research on their own to find out which theyd like better : p
Contemporaries but release difference was 3 years, which was a real big deal in the 90's. For collecting, if N64 was on disc, it would win hands down
Resident Evil 2 was on N64 lol But I have both systems so no complaints
Reading through a lot of comments here and haven't seen anyone bring up Rogue Squadron or Jet Force Gemini for the 64.
I like the Dreamcast, but I have such great memories with both, and I still dream of a Dreamcast 2. lol
You're gonna review Banjo Tooie? Hell yea!
I love the Deamcast controller. It's one of my favorites!
GameCube mates
It's not a competition, it's a massacre. Sega Wins. Fatality. Flawless Victory
Nice Mic, is that a Rhodes NT1a? Has a nice sound.
It's interesting the n64 has so much love out there and this is coming from a kid who got one when he was in elementary school. It has great games but it's still on the lower end of the tier list when compared to the other nintendo consoles as far as I'm concerned.
Bring back Undertow and Derrick..
the n64 has a very underrated fighting game it's called fighters destiny and is awesome the music and the characters were great I don't know who owns the rights to the game but I would love if they would start a kick starter or fan made version
I understand the comparison but in the end... completely different generations.
I love Hydro thunder. I have it on the Xbox One backwards compatible. You can even download the DLC.
Emulation.. GG, MS, MD, NES, SNES, TG16, Neo Geo, MAME. The list goes on.
Dreamcast FTW.
and you can play burned games on a bone stock dreamcast, so even if you dont like to pirate games you can use it to try games before you buy them as well as make back ups of your own games so you can keep the original safely stored away. you can also get a mod to play games from a sd card or ssd so you can keep your entire collection on it all the time. plus with the vga output dongle you can adapt it to hdmi to easily get a nice clean picture.
@@JaredConnell ...
Ripping GD Rom games is a non trivial task.
The game files need to be modified extensively. Not a job for the average user. Easier to burn pre-modded ISOs taken off the net.
Or do the SD card mod and load it with games, again, taken from the net.
Snowboard Kids is awesome!
Where does one find some of the new games being made for the Dreamcast?
Could you try to do Dreamcast vs Cube?
N64 is overrated because of a few titles. Goldeneye has not aged well either, imo. An easy win for the Sega Dreamcast!
Goldeneye's single player has aged fine, still an enjoyable game but I agree it's multiplayer hasn't too well, with its frame-rate drops and such.
Why not both? lol
Hah, yeah pretty much lol.
jabhands the best game n64s got that even rivals dreamcast games will have to be conkers bad fur day but other than that game the dreamcast is miles better imo
N64 is the most overrated console all time and the Dreamcast is the most underrated. That reason why this battle exist in the first place but it is definitely a blowout.
I'd say: get the N64 for the singularity of games library/control/experience, and emulate those 2d fighting games on fightcade/Sega NAOMI/Mame.
I'm a huge Rush 2049 fan, and I'm just lucky it's on both systems.
Just bought a Dreamcast. Can't wait
This is a joke right?...not so much a contest as it is a massacre, Dreamcast destroys N64 in every aspect
Nah
N64 is too blurry even with a-video. Dreamcast supports VGA with stereo and image quality is great!
you have Zusar Vasar! have you reviewed it?
So now we're comparing consoles of different generations?
Amazing video lord karnage
What are you talking about I got my n64 for like $40/$50 on eBay (don't remember exact) but the dreamcast was like $70
Coming from somebody who grew up the N64 & Gamecube (ex Nintendo fanboy), the Dreamcast is much better system. It has a more "arcadey" game library and plus it still gets new games. Plus alot of Dreamcast games have aged alot better than N64 games.
Wow, you have Elemental Gimmick Gear! What a great game, could you please review it and share your thoughts with us! Also, wonderful review
Yeah, Nintendo and Rare pretty much built the N64. There aren't many games by other companies worth recommending. But at least the Nintendo and Rare games are overall pretty awesome.
What's next since you are mixing generations now? PS3 vs the Gamecube?
This is a pretty weird battle. 5th gen vs 6th gen? I'd say Dreamcast wins, but the N64 beats the Saturn. Maybe it's a little bias because I've always been a Sega & Sony guy.
Both of my fave systems.
Can't choose between them.
Episode 1 racer is probably my fav n64 game
DC wins hands down for the superior multiplat ports for that gen and it's first party and arcade titles (as short as they were). N64 DID have more long adventure games though I'll give it that (even though most were just one big long collect-a-thon) But everytime I see a person in the comments section of a Resident Evil games review that says the N64 version of RE2 was the best I'm just like, "Are you fucking KIDDING ME? Dreamcast version says Hello!" Yoda voice: "Eyes checked, you must get." Like, are they SERIOUSLY gonna tell me that the system that Debuted RE: Code Veronica has worse graphics than a system whose BEST looking game was Perfect Dark? CTFO..😩😆
Battle tanks for n64 dreamcast revolt was my favorite
Anything vs N64 wins.
Drugs are bad son. Stay in school.
Just don't like N64. Recently sold it all. If I uses drugs it would probably look less washed out and crappy!
not sure i agree, it's better than the sega saturn at least, but the dreamcast and the ps1? i'm not so sure....
i love ocarina, banjo, mario kart, and mario 64...
but compared to ps1's libraries with all it's jrpg's, platformers, action games, gran turismo, just the number of games on ps1 is huge compared to the n64, plus the controller is infinitely better...
and the dreamcast with soul calber, crazy taxi, skies of arcadia, phantasy star online, shenmue 1 and 2, sonic adventure 1 and 2, nights into dreams, space channel 5, jet set radio.
the dreamcast was a beast... and the dreamcast's library is one of the reasons the gamecube was so great as they all got ported over for the most part...
Yes. I knew the douchebags would rise. It's all opinions. Grow up.
sorry i read that in the wrong order... i agree.. but the sega saturn is undeniably worse...
i have an n64 everdrive and i'm still discovering new games.
Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario 64, WWF No Mercy, Doom 64,
F Zero X. Dreamcast never stood a chance!
It would of been amazing to have had a game that hook up into two N64 consoles, so we could of gameplay in two different televisions
