20 Best Sega Dreamcast Games of All Time

- This is the finale of Best Games Ever!
The gaming industry is filled with sales injustices. There was Titanfall 2, which was sent out to die in an impossible release window with it now just being used as nostalgia bait for Apex Legends. Then there’s Panzer Dragoon Saga, which released at a time when there were few people still playing the Saturn and its sales suffered. However, for our money, the biggest undeserved failure in gaming history has to be the Dreamcast. The whole thing.
Sega discontinued the Dreamcast more than two decades ago, yet the console maintains a dedicated following to this day. It’d be easy to chalk this up to the curiosity of younger gamers and the nostalgia of older ones, however, doing so overlooks the true source of the Dreamcast’s enduring appeal: its amazing library of games.
Not only did Sega’s final foray into the hardware market boast a series of exceptional arcade ports, but it was also the go-to platform for innovative console exclusives at the turn of the millennium, while its innovations, including online console play, proved what a trendsetter it really was. By the end of the Dreamcast’s three-year run, it had delivered a string of classic games across virtually every genre, many of which still hold up well today.
With that in mind, here’s a round-up of the best Dreamcast games ever made. Whether you’re booting up your console for the umpteenth time or just downloaded a retro gaming emulator, each of these titles will leave you as happy as Sonic in a new pair of sneakers, or as happy as a Sonic fan when they get made a moderator on their favourite forum.

Popping in Sonic Adventure and seeing that dreamcast logi and sound come on. Man. The nostalgia.

Blew my little 8 year old mind bro
Both Sonic Adventure games even in 2024 still GOATED.
Dreamcast sales were actually quite strong. It just wasn't enough to undo all the serious mistakes Sega made before then

Why Nintendo didn't buy Sega and make them make games specifically for Nintendo. The 2 together would've been unstoppable
That's one thing, but the PlayStation 2 also gave the DC a run for its money. People simply wanted the PS2 more. If the PS2 didn't exist, the DC probably would've done far better commercially.
Nope people waited for the ps2
Wrong. The Dreamcast's laser would constantly break, and they had no way of keeping up with the repairs, so they went under due to the console hardware failing far too early.
I had an itch to replay silent hill 2 so I went to a retro gaming store to buy the av cables for my ps2 slim. I get home only to find out they sold me the wrong av cables. I kept them and ended up finding my original cables in storage. After beating silent hill 2 I was looking through the old Dreamcast games I had and saw resident evil 2 and Veronica. I found the power supply cord but not the av cables. Out of sheer luck the av cables sold to me at the retro store were the exact ones I needed for the Dreamcast. I’ve been reliving my childhood for the past month now out of a happy accident. Silent hill 1 & 2 on my ps2 slim and resident evil 2 & Veronica on the Dreamcast. I feel incredibly lucky especially after seeing the prices of these games let alone the consoles. Never letting these go again
What an incredible list. Bravo,sir. Bravo. Skies of Arcadia and Soul Calibur and definitely the best games on a system full of incredible games.
I’m so glad I was a teenager when the Dreamcast hit so I could FULLY appreciate it
multiplayer machine
Same
As an American NFL 2K would 100% have to be on the list - it was huge. NBA was hugely popular also but NFL 2K was a literal game changer.

NFL2K was crazy good. I grew up pretty uninterested in American Football but when that game came out ... Played it every day with my buddy for about a year
Yes, 2K was a true NFL fans depiction of what football was.
NFL 2K Football destroys Madden!!!! That’s why EA had to buy NFL exclusive rights, it could not compete with NFL 2K!!
Still better than new maddens imo
Today, I'm still playing most of these, but especially Soul Calibur!
I use the Re-Dream emulator, and let me tell you; Soul Calibur in 4k is just jaw-dropping, even in 2024!
Daasmn I'd love to see that
@@42calking53 The 1080p version is absolutely free... And it looks awsome!!!!
Dive in and let me know
😁
Soul calibar my fav game 😭😭
25k gang! Been a great series. love the content. Had it on repeat! cheers
I would love to see the series continue! It’s been great! Here are some systems I would like to see. I would like to see the top 20 Neo Geo Aes games. Also, the top 20 Turbografx 16/cd games. I think it would be cool to see the top 20 Sega Cd games (that system is slept on and has a plethora of good titles). I would like to see a top 20 Atari Jaguar/Jag cd games and finally, I would like to see a top 20 32x games (the first 10 would be easy but then it would get challenging after that. An odd one, I think it would be cool to see as well is the top 20 3DO games (another system that is slept on that has a good amount of good games on it). Cheers!
The Sega Dreamcast had a variety of popular and critically acclaimed games. Some of the best games on the Dreamcast include:
Shenmue: An open-world adventure game known for its detailed environments and immersive storytelling.
Sonic Adventure: A 3D platformer featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and other characters, showcasing the capabilities of the Dreamcast hardware.
Soulcalibur: A highly praised fighting game known for its smooth graphics and deep combat mechanics.
Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in North America): A unique cel-shaded action game that involves graffiti, skating, and a stylish soundtrack.
Phantasy Star Online: An online multiplayer RPG, one of the earliest console games to offer online play.
Skies of Arcadia: A turn-based RPG with a focus on exploration and airship battles.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica: A survival horror game that continued the Resident Evil series, featuring detailed graphics and intense gameplay.
Crazy Taxi: An arcade-style racing game where players take on the role of a taxi driver, trying to earn as much money as possible in a limited time.
These are just a few examples, and the Dreamcast had a diverse library of games that catered to various genres and preferences.
The Sega Dreamcast was released in North America on September 9, 1999, with a launch price of $199.99 USD.
Imagine using chatgpt to comment on RUclips videos because you're too stupid to write your own.
Thanks for this!!! ❤
25K gang! Keep up the great video series!
Still love playing my DC today. The new fan translations they bring out keep me bringing it out
and now it's time to swing back around and do the 20 best hidden games for each platform. lol

25k Gang! Love the series!!!
I picked up the Steam versions of a few of these when they had the Dreamcast Collection bundle on for dirt cheap of few years back.
25K gang! these have been a really relaxing watch
What is that theme you use in the background? It sounds like Grandia 1, Mario RPG, and Chrono Trigger in one song
Battle theme from Grandia2
I tried Shenmue 2 and just ended up getting lost, it was huge compared to the first one.

It's the best Sega Dreamcast game of all time, besides Shenmue 1. Code Veronica is 3rd best.
@@TheBridgesYouBurn Have to say, the DC maybe short-lived but they produced some really good games for that period.
25K Gang! Great series!
Imagine if Dreamcast had a DVD-Rom, it will be strong enough to compete with PlayStation 2 until the end of 2000's
The controller also needed to have two analogs and shoulfer buttons above the triggers.
And better rubber on the analogs .
Sega Dreamcast games even in 2024 are still amazing! Wish it can be played on PS3 RETROARCH though.😢
25k gang! I watched all the series. Great lists.
Missing Best Turbografx 16 and PC Engine games! That's a console even more underrated than the Dreamcast. Good list btw. Skies of Arcadia was on GameCube as well. I'd like to mention Alien Front Online. Was so much fun back in the day.
25K gang! Honestly, this was a great series, this can't be the end! How about Sega CD, Turbografx, 3DO or 32x?

It would be a hoot to see if you could actually come up with 20 good Jaquar games. It was Atari's last system, so there might be some interest.
Uploaded on my bday thank you
I remember getting a dreamcast and all the peripherals soon after launch, probably traded my N64 but can't remember, and then finding it difficult to find games. No internet in any meaningful way back then, crappy dial up, so no online shops to get games from, and Electronics Boutique or Future Zone or whatever it was then only had a few games. I loved the games I did get, Crazy Taxi, Typing of the Dead, even Sega Worldwide Soccer, but I soon let it go for a PS2 when that came out. I regret that I traded any system now but it was the only way to get the newest one.

@@Ihatevideogames334tf is wrong with u
The cheesy-ness of shenmue is what made it cool🙏🏾
25k gang! Have loved all the videos in the series (even xbox one lol)
What an amazing console, completely screwed by the Saturn's failure. Had the Saturn been competitive during the 5th generation, who knows what would've happened with the Dreamcast. When it came out, the general reaction was "it seems cool, but I'm waiting for the PS2"
25K GANG! Have really enjoyed this series.
25K gang! It’s kinda sad that the series is ending, yet there’s still more consoles that have yet to even have lists about them. I love this series and hope to see more!

Wait up! This can't be the end! There are at least 5 consoles good enough to be covered:
- Atari
- MSX
- PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16
- Neo Geo
- 3DO

This is epic!

Such a great video ❤ I've recently bought a BRAND NEW DREAMCAST.... modded it and enjoy best games ever 🎉
The Dreamcast didn't fail, the Saturn just failed so poorly that SEGA was dead before the Dreamcast even had a chance to save them
I loved them both.
Skies of Arcadia ❤
Shenmue had me in a chokehold back then.
Great video 👏👏👏👍 but for PAL region is #4 called "Jet Set Radio"? I thought Jet Set Radio was the second installment of the game. Wasn't the original game called "Jet Grind Radio"?
Jet set radio and jet grind radio are the same, the titles are just different based on the regions they're in.
The 2nd installment was Jet set radio future
I regret selling my original Sega Dreamcast a couple years ago (but i made a killing). So many good games: Soul Calibur, Sonic, Powerstone, Dave Mirra BMX, DOA 2
So many great games on the system, i'll never forget the fun i had back then. Also met my life long partner on Dream Arena. Got myself a gamer girl 👍😊👍
Street Fighter III: 3rd strike should be #1!
Never heard of Typing of the Dead before, I’d be screwed as I rely on spellcheck so much!
Conflict Zone was my first RTS, wish I could find a PC port!!
I Hate SEGA
I HATE SEGA

U can make ur self an USB Stick with batocera on it then u csn play as much dreamcast as u wish on ur PC
Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game series, but 2 is the best in the series. It's a shame the Dreamcast didn't make it long enough to get a port of that game.
Thanks for all your input on the channel, hope you're enjoying it! :D
Virtua Tennis 2 / le Mans 24hr / MSR Project Gotham / Blue Stinger / Soldier of Fortune / AeroWings 2 / StarWars Racer / etc
So much good games to play on this console ... you forgot on your TOP 20 !!
I am not as much into fighting games so my list would be very different. I do like the ready to rumble games so i oddly might have added one or 2 fighting games. I also would have had to have had Toy Commander, Headhunter, Sonic Adventure 1 and Blue Stinger in there. Maybe also Wacky Racer.
This channel is gonna get a million subs by the end of 2024. 👌🏼👽🛸❤️
Hmm 🤔 No Metropolis Streetracer?
I thought that one was neat... Although, it could be difficult as hell to unlock the cars.
And of course, the radio song, there's a bullet in my gun.... Sigh, memories ☺️
25k gang! Let’s go!
Looks like your next video we’ll have to say 28k gang
25K GANG! This series is fantastic and I’m not ok that it’s the last one…

Really tough system to rank imo because its the end of one era and the start of another. A lot of the revolutionary games also show up on Gamecube or Xbox and sometimes with sequels.
I also have to say that Code Veronica might be one of the most polarizing games of all time. I've seen numerous youtube channels trash the game. It also seems to commonly get high praise.

What's the racing game at the end of video ? Btw, I'll watch video about Atari.
Im late but it was Test Drive Le Mans
Shout out to Head hunter
One of my fav games on Dreamcast
Soft spot for Redemption too!
Shenmue at 8? Ummm that's one of the top 5 games of all time on any console. That's crazy. I last beat this game in 2015 and it was still very enjoyable.
Not a top 5 all time for sure
It's THE best game of all time brother.
Name me a better one?
Street fighter…
No Evolution? Scandalous.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure for DC is my personal favorite :)
My grail! Desperately want it put refuse to pay up for it
Cannon Spike not making this list is a crime against humanity
What was that game in the intro with the big alien mecha? I used to play that with my mom and I need the name so bad.
It was at 1:45. We also used to play the shooter game with animals.
I think its Alien Front Online
25K GANG! no Virtua Tennis ?
When everyone says something is underrated, it ceases to be underrated. Saturn is the most underrated console :D

Best Atari arcade games that didn't get a home release , or the best of the ones that did
25K GANG!!!!!
I have a special personal history with the Dreamcast, and this list is borderline upsetting. I respect the work, but there are too many mistakes for me to stay quiet.
Blue Stinger!!!!

Sonic adventure
Jet Set Radio
Shenmue 2
Shenmue
Virtua tennis 2
Sonic Adventure 2
Rayman 2
MvC 2
Soul calibur
THPS2
(I never got to try code veronica, power stone or skies of arcadia😢)
Skies of Arcadia is a must play. Play it on Gamecube or Emulator if need be
Wonder how many got the Hugh Grant joke 😃
Tokyo extreme.racer 2, power stone2,, MvC2, Street Fighter3, virtua fighter3 tb, nba 2k, nfl.2k, virtua tennis, rez, crrrrraaaaaaazy taxi, and loads.more
actually the dreamcast THPS2 doesn't get the gameplay just right. there is a few goals that are MUCH harder to get completed on the dreamcast as your just don't get as much air in the dreamcast compared to other releases.
25k gang. also just a note mvc2 was a dream... on this console
25K Gang !
They had a cool boxing game if I remember correctly
Ready to Rumble… a great and funny game!
Haha nice, the happy Chao music plays while a zombie survival horror game is commented on. For survival horror game I would also throw in Alone in the Dark as a suggestion.
25K gang!
Its hard to disagree with your list except for No NFL 2K. 🙄
There were actually A LOT good games ( Sure there was some shovelware as there is with any system.) on the DC! I Got like 40+ games in my collection but I wish I had Maken X, HeadHunter, Super Magnetic Neo and EGG ( Elemental Gimmick Gear.)
I got a copy of TR The Last Revelation and it is REALLY Beautiful plus Fun! 😎
I'm sorry but it's not THPS2 and THUG2 it's THPS3 and THUG1 as goated my friend.
Thanks for the video I just ordered is super console X Pro 5 period it has every Dreamcast GameCube N64 game every PS1 game and 600 + PS2 games. I can't wait😂😂😂 package from China
haha best of luck! remember to not feed it after midnight or it may become self-aware
@CulturedVultures well if it becomes self-aware I'll teach it like I do my grandkids ...to be a smart-ass and not a dumbass. maybe It can help me beat some of these ridiculous levels
man just get you a mid-to-low end pc and emulate them instead of that unreliable crap
I’m just gonna say space channel 5 should be taken off and virtua tennis should be added other than that, it’s a pretty good list
25k gang!!
25k GANG!
Ferrari f355 challenge is my number one
Keep the music and the narrator voice for crazy taxi and im in
Where are Virtua Tennis and Metropolis street racer ?
What about Rayman 2?
It's the defintive port of the game much like Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 which was listed instead =(

I first played Shenmue on Dreamcast. Beat it on PS4. I say, I can appreciate it but most won't. It is too clunky. I haven't gotten to the second one yet.
