Melissa Capaccio I was thinking that in regards to it’s built in online abilities since that wasn’t really used until the seventh generation consoles were released (I’d argue that it was perfected by the PS3 since it could do more than just play games online and had a web browser)
I actually had to curse someone out behind this yesterday. Say what you want about Sega. But if they couldve held out today no telling what original IP or consoles they would have created. It be a different landscape now
It was, but not far enough to keep it appealing when the PS2 was released. In less than a year, PS2 had an ethernet port instead of a modem, DVD playback and superior hardware specs. And because people lost their trust to SEGA because of how they handled every system they released after the Mega Drive, they missed on the nearly 1 year advantage they had over the PS2 because everyone was waiting to see what Sony had to offer.
I can't believe this guy downplayed SoulCalibur. That game was amazing and looked better on Dreamcast than it did in the Arcade. That was a first for its time.
He downplayed Soul Calibur, mentions MK: Gold like it's a good game, when it's actually hot garbage! Then doesn't even mention NFL 2K as part of the launch lineup! Very disturbing
Seriosly I dont know why noone ever mentions Unreal Tournament on dreamcast? I almost got dropped out of the school cause of that game, the idea of 4 players split screen with no additional hardware at the time was huge. We played it for so long, such a good memories.
speedfreakpsycho I can’t say I got quite as into it, but it was my introduction to split screen FPS multiplayer and I had a ton of fun with it. It filled that role for me well until Halo came along
Mad Hatter Ya, I’ve heard of that plan, although it was originally originally going to be on Mac. As much as I love the Dreamcast, I’m glad it went to Xbox instead. Shooters just don’t play all that great on the dreamcast (without the mouse and keyboard) and it wouldn’t have been nearly the revolution for FPS controls on console that it ended up being. Plus I doubt the Halo franchise would have done as well
I'll never forget the day that I was hanging out with my friends during Christmas time '99 at the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, CA, and some guy randomly approaches us and says, "Hey guys, are you interesting in purchasing the new Nintendo system?" I was a bit confused what he was referencing, but considering it was 3 of us and one of him, we followed him to his car in the parking lot, and in his trunk, he's got a sealed brand new in box Sega Dreamcast. I was the only one who had any money in my pocket that day, that was initially to buy my girlfriend at the time a Christmas gift, (lol), but this guy says, "I'll take $50 for it". Uhh.....sure, take my money! 6 months to a year later, my friends and I never left my house playing the powerhouse titles that the Dreamcast released, and I was no longer with my girlfriend at the time, haha. It's okay, we were young.
Yeah play it! If you know DX ports, it's worth comparing. There's much less falling through the floor, shadows all work properly where they should, the lighting is different and probably more suited, much fewer issues with decals and animations. If you haven't played DX, then well it's a pretty good game, and there's no outright wrong way to experience Sonic Adventure and you might as well play the original! If your Dreamcast glitches out and resets on you, you probably just need to take it apart and clean the power supply connector, that's by far the most common fault, you'll easily find a tutorial. The RTC battery will also likely have failed, but the game should boot regardless.
I beat the Tails story, Knuckles and Sonic. Got stuck on one of the robot levels though. And it's funny to me when he said, "Who plays fishing games anyway," when one of the characters was essentially all about fishing.
ryan jumper maybe it’s because I don’t have any nostalgia for it like you do, I had a ps1 instead of a Dreamcast back in the day, but I always thought the controller looked like the worst controller ever lol.
Idk, my wrists would hurt after a few hours of gaming. The controller would have benefitted from a better angle on the handles. The memory card thing and attachments were cool though!
@@jeremyroberts8822 I know what you mean, but when you use the controller it feels good, I thought it was ugly to lol & PS1 was amazing I still miss those days lol
My only complaints with the Dreamcast controller was the slippery thumbstick, the cord placed at the bottom, and it not being a good successor to the almighty Saturn controller.
The Dreamcast controller was excellent. Trigger buttons either side. Sat perfectly in your hand. Unlike the PlayStation controller. Literally the worst controller ever.
They cant challenge the others in tecnology so the ideal is to make a medium qualy console, but very cheap, like a 90 dollars console, especially to make with component sellers
I remember taking that memory card and putting those little blue dudes from sonic adventure on it and raising it like a tomagochi at school. My 4th grade Teacher took it away once and I broke the lock on her drawer to get it back for recess. Lol
Damm man, I remember buying games at EB lol, me and my cousin play a lot in the Dreamcast, a game that was only famous in Japan beside the one mention in the vid, was a cool shooter game, if I remember the name was "Planet of Monsters" or something close to it
At the time getting one of these new at the store I would have never known what a treat that experience would be all these years later. Some of the best moments of my youth was on this console.
Sega started falling when they promised to support the 32x but just a few months later released the Saturn for like $600. Sega had the best most innovative games, it's a real shame they got wrapped up in the console wars.
Multation by the time you bought a game and an extra controller you were at at least 600. I know because I bought one not because I googled the price tag.
This console was the best present I ever had as a kid, still remember it like it was yesterday. My favourite console to this day 🌀 I still play it regularly
I remember trading my skateboard trucks for a stolen Dreamcast back in middeschool. Good times. Still have it to this day and it still works. Also, if you're wondering where it was stolen from, it was a Hollywood Video and they're out of business now so... yeah.
@@electricheadboy I didn't know it was stolen until years later when I looked at the bottom and saw the Hollywood Video sticker. I guess I was too young to put two and two together back then. My dad knew it was stolen right away. lol
It's still taking forever till it reaches a grade that actually makes this thing usable… Sega should just re-release a Dreamcast Mini or something like that… something that plays originals but doesn't have this crappy GD-ROM drive.
KRAFTWERK2K6 I COULDNT AGREE MORE ! Saturn was the only SEGA Console I didn’t own .. was sooooo pissed when they gave up on it.. no more new games being made .. while I had this beautiful sturdy perfect sized console at home .. there was no more games to get.. except the handful of cheap, crappy games that were left in the Blockbuster Game store section
Dc was my capcom fighters console. Bought it specifically to play Street Fighter 3 and Marvel vs Capcom 2. What I learned is you can play backups without modding it. I remember playing a homebrew quake version. I also remember in Shenmue you get into a fight with a mob and the smu would show you how many guys you defeated.
I was there when the servers shut down for good.. sad, sad time..everyone saying goodbye.. such good memories of my mom screaming st me to get off my games because shes waiting for a phone call. Ahh...
Up till that point in my life, being 11 when the Dreamcast came out I had yet to watch any NFL Football game as my family wasnt into it and my hometown team, the Browns had not been active for three years. I got NFL 2K on launch day and I couldn't stop playing it. It was absolutely incredible.
It was a sad day indeed... I never owned the console but only if I had the resources... Sadly there are no job in Pakistan a student could do at that time even now... I wish if it was one console i could have owned it was to be Dreamcast
Well if the Sega Genesis classic sells well, then we could definiatley expect a classic Dreamcast release and if that would sell well too, than we might get a new gen Sega console. Soooooo fellow Sega worshippers, get ready to open your wallets soon... ;)
Still gone because they were selling the hardware at a loss and hoping to recuperate on the game's licensing fees, but their anti-piracy was busted wide-open and they didn't have no monetary backbone since the Saturn performed very VERY poorly the previous generation...
Still nowhere because the dream casts fate was sealed long before it was released thanks to the Saturn which caused many people to turn their backs on sega
Probably at the same exact place. Like the Master System had no chance of succeeding in the US because of the NES, the Dreamcast was doomed but this time on a global scale. Playstation at the time was dwarfing even Nintendo which if it wasn't for Game Boy it could might as well follow SEGA in the unemployment office. Especially after they pulled the plug on the Saturn, people were willing to wait to see what Sony had to offer before making the transition to the next generation. Not only that, but even with a DVD player it would probably be struggling to keep up with PS2, let alone the more powerful GC and Xbox.
That's the only thing that ONLY Dreamcast owners will remember. The title is just a way to get stupid 9 year olds to click on the video and pretend that they own a Dreamcast.
I feel old. Thanks guys! Sword of the berserk was my game. I would replay it over and over just to unlock everything. I didn't even know about the manga or anime. That game was the first taste of berserk that i got and it became one of my favorite series once i watched the series and then got into the manga. I even got the brand tatted on my neck haha. Good times, I'll never forget the dreamcast.
Pso was my love, I spent well over 2000 hours in that game. Played it all the way up until I joined the navy. I will always say that the dreamcast was the greatest system of that generation, and so many people missed out on that gem.
@@RosheenQuynh it's so unique, there's no other console or computer physical noise that comes anywhere close. If they ever do a DC mini they'd better include it!
I loved my dreamcast. I remember my dad bringing home a boot CD and literally the entire library of dreamcast games. There must have been hundreds. I was too young to know about piracy. All i knew is I had all of these games at my disposal just out of no where. The dreamcast was my arcade port machine. Dynamite cop, hydro thunder, capcom vs snk.
I chose a DC over a ps2 and never regretted it! Plasma Sword, mvc2, Sonic... And the big dog... Shenmue. So many great memories. Admit five years ago I bought a DC that still works and just put it into storage.
The entry of this video give goosebumps. It was my first console, As a low middle class kid my family didn't have the money to buy consoles or videogames, But after good grades and months and months of talking about a videogame console my parents went to the capital and brought this for my brothers and me... It was one of most enjoyable moments of my childhood and I glad it was the dreamcast.
I agree but let's be honest most launch lineups are garbage. Looking back at launch titles you gotta wonder why the hell anyone would buy a system on day one.
I remember the Sega Dreamcast was the first console to have Microsoft Windows CE. I also remember the dread problem of having the control slots frying on every Dreamcast I got😭
yeah, the DC of my best buddy had an issue with Controller port 2. When ever we wanted to play San Francisco Rush 2049 one of us had to use port 3 or 4.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 I love that game, the last time I played it was with my dad and he end up breaking the controller😅 However the exact same day he end up buying me a new one. I have two Sega Dreamcast that don't work because the controller slots and the other two are because of disc reader.
Go to your nearest retro store and ask if they have any Dreamcast's available if not see if they can order one for you failing that you can try eBay or Amazon .
I mean I feel the Dreamcast is soooooo not looooved enough, this was sweet that you guys remembered to pay homage and give the Dreamcast some love!! you guys rock!
What I will remember is that this console shaped the market as it is today, and had some title there that revolutionized the entire industry. The first one being Phantasy Star Online, the most underrated game of them all that deserve to be seen as the game that showed what gaming was going to become in the years coming.
The only thing i don't miss was the crappy GD-ROM drive that failed more often than possible. If only Sega had chosen the DVD as the medium of choice but it was just too expensive during the development of the Console. But that certainly would have made it more reliable.
great video! another great thing on dreamcast, was that vga box adapter... was the first console I could ever conect to a pc monitor, later to a hdtv, and in the freak accesory stuff... the train simulator command was a great one to look for the dreamcast lovers and collector! greetings from Buenos Aires!
I like it and I’m probably going to be the only 14 year old who actually owns one lmao I think I might raise my kids with my sega and Dreamcast because they are like my childhood. My mom pretty much raised me on rétro crap. I wish I’d had time to have all the cool stuff you guys had as kids ;-;
I remember sometime during the console’s dying days it was pretty touch and go whether Shenmue II (among other titles) was actually gonna get released in Europe. Then one day it somehow just magically appeared on the shelf in GAME, a couple of weeks ahead of the published release date. I snapped it up quicker than a very quick thing.
I remember first seeing screen shots of the dream cast in Tips and Tricks magazine. I thought to myself, "This is it, folks. Games cannot get any better than this."
This was my favorite console to this day. Still have some favorite games like Sonic Adventure, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Toy Commander, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Rayman 2, Soul Calibur, Virtua Tennis... Man. I need to play my Dreamcast again. As soon as my Retro Fighters controller comes in the mail, I am hooking up my Dreamcast and playing all my games again!
Phantasy Star Online... Not only was it an amazing game with music that still pops into my mind when I'm feeling zen. But the most amazing thing about it was the ability to design your own speech bubbles. Here I am playing online with people from Japan on a console and we understand each other perfectly because we have our own speech bubbles with designs we've made to express our individual emotions. Nothing has come close since. It was amazing. I really miss it.
I remember the Dreamcast. Had one a lifetime ago, during a better time in my life. All the channels I watch on RUclips..... about 95% of them belong to individuals who were literally infants or tiny little children back when I had a Dreamcast.
I thought u were gonna mention creating a team on NFL 2k(something like that) made of everyone in your hood. Bro, I literally had every player on my team named after somebody from my neighborhood.
@@hazy33 I was being funny, tbh I just wanted to tell my experience. And that game was better than Madden in my opinion. But as I write I reminisce and I'm thinking about Gameday. Where u could juke move thru an entire defensive lineup. But yeah, memories ;-)
Christmas 99 was when I got my Dreamcast. When I was done playing it my lineup was solid - Powerstone, Soul Calibur, Soul Reaver, NHL2k, Crazy taxi, Ready to rumble, aerowings, PSO...man, so many fun times.
I was in that camp that thought the Sega Dreamcast would dominate the console wars at the time. It will always be my favorite console. I remember being blown away by the games and graphics back then.
Great memories of playing on the dreamcast with my stepfather. We still love to boot it up and play Revolt or (my personal favourite) Toy commander together whenever we get the chance.
Still got my Dreamcast, and my Sega Saturn. And in no way am I ever parting with them. I almost cried when my local game shop said they where no longer getting games in for those.
Didn't even mention Nfl2k, the most mainstream of the launch games. They even covered it in the local news. First online game I ever played(wasn't bad for dial up, lag wise). And it's success over the years led to EA's Madden just outright buying the rights to the NFL leading to Monopoly we still have today.
Speaking of Sega Sports/2k, it's crazy how many sports games they put out through two studios in a few years and how many of them were good. NFL 2k (2k, 2k1, 2k2), NBA 2k (2k, 2k1, 2k2), NCAA Football 2k2, Virtua Tennis were all good games and came out between 1999-2001. There were only three bad sports games in my opinion released by Sega during the Dreamcast's life: NHL 2k, NHL 2k2, World Series Baseball 2k2.
Wow the dreamcast. I remember playing sonic adventure 1 and 2.. Almost all those games that he mentions. Jet set radio, crazy taxi were also 2 of my favorites.. its hard to believe thats so many years have already passed... i miss my childhood days :(
The Dreamcast was so special and I will never forget it. I got my Dreamcast (launch day) the day I got my first apartment. We ran 5 Sega Dreamcast's and 5 TV's that night. We had 5 copies of Soul Caliber running for a tournament between friends. What was cool, I had my roommate and 3 other friends in the same line picking it up at Toys R US. We also did this when the PS2 came out. Unfortunately, while I got my PS2 day one most of my friends played Hell getting theirs at launch.

The Dreamcast was ahead of its time
I was just saying that when watching it. Especially the accessory that you can put in with the little screen. The idea was very ahead of it's time.
Melissa Capaccio I was thinking that in regards to it’s built in online abilities since that wasn’t really used until the seventh generation consoles were released (I’d argue that it was perfected by the PS3 since it could do more than just play games online and had a web browser)
I actually had to curse someone out behind this yesterday. Say what you want about Sega. But if they couldve held out today no telling what original IP or consoles they would have created. It be a different landscape now
Noata Kun definitely
It was, but not far enough to keep it appealing when the PS2 was released. In less than a year, PS2 had an ethernet port instead of a modem, DVD playback and superior hardware specs.

And Power Stone
How could you not mention Marvel vs Capcom 2 New Age of Heroes... best damn fighting in the history of gaming on Sega Dreamcast!
No one in my area bought it for the reason we would just go plunk down fifty cents in an arcade until they went the way of the dinosaur in my area.
Very true. That was a game changer
YESSSSSS THANK YOU SIR
Me and my brothers played that game for 7 years straight.
HELL YEAH!!!

N64 had tons of splitscreen games with no additional hardware needed. What are you talking about?
I can't ever get over my disappointment for this console not lasting. It was so good!
I understand. Nothing could match it at the time VGA, Online. There was just not enough marketing. Especially in the UK..
Just another example that the human race overall has shit tastes. We let this great console fail. 😔

Loved my Dreamcast back in the day! I recently found my old one and it still had Sonic Adventure inside of it. Great memories.

I still have my Dreamcast but the internal battery has died and it is beyond my soldering skills to replace.

It was also the first game to have better graphics than the Arcade version
Gameranx is not very good at being good. They kinda suck at not being just for nostalgia or 5 year olds
I still have mine
Same here, had some amazing friends on PSO and Ver 2, had a clan and stuff, amazing console.
I've been playing PSO2 on the pc for 2 weeks. It's amazing!
I do too! Man, I might need to break out some Sonic Adventure and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

My favorite Dreamcast game was powerstone 2. That game was incredible. I still have mine. It's turned a bit yellow over the years

Ohhhh how I miss my Sega Dreams.😔😔😔😊👍
You shouldn't since they sell for like 80...
Still have mine. I should really look into burning my own games. So many good ones
Shouldnt what? Make my own copies of old games?
fallenshadow83 they were saying to the OP that they should buy a used Dreamcast and not miss it anymore.
Imagine SEGA made an epic comeback and put all their resources and money towards a Dreamcast 2. Holy shit, the possibilities!
Imagine if Sega had transitioned the Dreamcast to a handheld and beat the PSP to market.
First, they have to make publicity, making hand helds of magadrive/genesis and dreamcast
They cant challenge the others in tecnology so the ideal is to make a medium qualy console, but very cheap, like a 90 dollars console, especially to make with component sellers
I'd buy it day 1. Hell, I'd buy THREE!
I think the Dreamcast was pretty cool. I had PS1, but would go to my best friend's and we would play 2k basketball. It was a decent console.
Abiogenesis Zero Proof it’s was a great console, it’s only problem was the hacking

I love how the calming Dreamcast intro goes directly into ‘YA YA YA YA YA!’ with Gena and Axel blowing through the city in their taxis.
**Turns console on***
(followed by constant fan whirling noise)
Yeeeeessss!
You should look into a Noctua silent fan replacement mod.
Yeah...if you didn't have a Japanese unit!
Sounds like a PS4

Hundreds upon hundreds of hours in PSO.

Thankfully, the newest Dreamcast emulator I found out about, ReDream is about to play 82% of all Dreamcast games currently.

NFL2K
The start of the Greatest NFL video game Franchise
EA buying the NFL licence - the end of that franchise.
Up till that point in my life, being 11 when the Dreamcast came out I had yet to watch any NFL Football game as my family wasnt into it and my hometown team, the Browns had not been active for three years. I got NFL 2K on launch day and I couldn't stop playing it. It was absolutely incredible.
And keeping your plays secret on the vmu was great!

Well if the Sega Genesis classic sells well, then we could definiatley expect a classic Dreamcast release and if that would sell well too, than we might get a new gen Sega console. Soooooo fellow Sega worshippers, get ready to open your wallets soon... ;)

If Dreamcast played dvds and had an EA contract where would we be now???
Still gone because they were selling the hardware at a loss and hoping to recuperate on the game's licensing fees, but their anti-piracy was busted wide-open and they didn't have no monetary backbone since the Saturn performed very VERY poorly the previous generation...
In hell
Still nowhere because the dream casts fate was sealed long before it was released thanks to the Saturn which caused many people to turn their backs on sega
@@DripGxd_Cam Fighting vipers, panzer dragoon, virtua fighter.... I loved my Saturn.
Probably at the same exact place. Like the Master System had no chance of succeeding in the US because of the NES, the Dreamcast was doomed but this time on a global scale. Playstation at the time was dwarfing even Nintendo which if it wasn't for Game Boy it could might as well follow SEGA in the unemployment office. Especially after they pulled the plug on the Saturn, people were willing to wait to see what Sony had to offer before making the transition to the next generation. Not only that, but even with a DVD player it would probably be struggling to keep up with PS2, let alone the more powerful GC and Xbox.
I'll always remember getting the NBA 2k bundle for my birthday... I still have my Dreamcast to this day, along with all of those launch titles ❤️.
1 Thing Only Dreamcast Owners Will Remember!
Coming at number 1: Owning a Dreamcast.
Savage!
Not really, matter of fact its a pretty shitty burn because you can literally apply it to anything.
That's the only thing that ONLY Dreamcast owners will remember. The title is just a way to get stupid 9 year olds to click on the video and pretend that they own a Dreamcast.
When your 23 and own 3
I feel old. Thanks guys!
Sword of the berserk was my game. I would replay it over and over just to unlock everything. I didn't even know about the manga or anime. That game was the first taste of berserk that i got and it became one of my favorite series once i watched the series and then got into the manga. I even got the brand tatted on my neck haha. Good times, I'll never forget the dreamcast.
0:04 the DreamCast logo meme hit me 😂.
"I just sneezed! What I'm not allowed to sneeze?!" 😂
I just looked that up and I'm dying! x'D Thank you so much for making my day!
@@RosheenQuynh Good luck!
Pso was my love, I spent well over 2000 hours in that game. Played it all the way up until I joined the navy.
I will always say that the dreamcast was the greatest system of that generation, and so many people missed out on that gem.
I guess no one remembers the shrieking sound the console made when first booted up lol
The disc drive "grinding" is one of my favourite noises.
@@hazy33 Mine too. It's oddly soothing but that's probably just nostalgia talking.
@@RosheenQuynh it's so unique, there's no other console or computer physical noise that comes anywhere close. If they ever do a DC mini they'd better include it!
@@hazy33 I don't know if old tech can be replicated 🤣
@@RosheenQuynh They could just sample the noise.
I loved my dreamcast. I remember my dad bringing home a boot CD and literally the entire library of dreamcast games. There must have been hundreds. I was too young to know about piracy. All i knew is I had all of these games at my disposal just out of no where. The dreamcast was my arcade port machine. Dynamite cop, hydro thunder, capcom vs snk.
I chose a DC over a ps2 and never regretted it! Plasma Sword, mvc2, Sonic... And the big dog... Shenmue. So many great memories. Admit five years ago I bought a DC that still works and just put it into storage.
I traded my Dreamcast in to get a PS2. Soon regretted it. Bought another Dreamcast later. I much preferred it over the PS2.
The entry of this video give goosebumps. It was my first console, As a low middle class kid my family didn't have the money to buy consoles or videogames, But after good grades and months and months of talking about a videogame console my parents went to the capital and brought this for my brothers and me... It was one of most enjoyable moments of my childhood and I glad it was the dreamcast.
I spent hours and hours playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Spawn! I loved the Dreamcast. So far ahead of its time, no one paid attention to it!
Dont forget powerstone
@@derenzoharris3121 Definitely not! Powerstone 2 was awesome!
The only reason I mess around with dream cast emulators. Tokyo extreme highway racer..... And Metropolis Street Racer.... Classics
@@klwarhouse I agree. TXR I come back to every once in awhile for sure.
The Dreamcast North America Launch lineup is still the best launch ever.
I agree but let's be honest most launch lineups are garbage. Looking back at launch titles you gotta wonder why the hell anyone would buy a system on day one.
Utopia boot disc buying CD-R games in Sunday market and went to Canada in 2000s where you can buy CD-R games in an actual shop in the mall 😃
Yes I burned all dc rips & played on dc thanks to my plextor CD WRITER & Utopia boot disc...my entire library was of dc rips just 🔥& play.....
I remember Blue Stinger and the countless hours I spent playing it
Oh man I forgot all about that game. I too had some fun with it.
I remember the Sega Dreamcast was the first console to have Microsoft Windows CE.
I also remember the dread problem of having the control slots frying on every Dreamcast I got😭
yeah, the DC of my best buddy had an issue with Controller port 2. When ever we wanted to play San Francisco Rush 2049 one of us had to use port 3 or 4.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 I love that game, the last time I played it was with my dad and he end up breaking the controller😅
However the exact same day he end up buying me a new one. I have two Sega Dreamcast that don't work because the controller slots and the other two are because of disc reader.
Controller port 2 for me. Had to put something heavy on it on the plug end of the cord to keep it working lol. Memories...
10 Things Only DREAMCAST Owners Will Remember
#1: Piracy
I Hate Dubstep brilliant 👏👏
Super true lmao
I mean it’s a big part of why it’s still such an awesome console to own. Piracy could not be easier on it.
Serious, this was the system that taught me how to RIP iso's
On some models you don't even have to mod the console to play pirated games (like mine)
I remember how multi plat titles were so much better on DC. The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver in particular.
Was that on PS2 as well? I distinctly remember the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 absolutely destroying the PS2 version in every way.
@@madhatter8508 it was on Playstation and PC, but the Dreamcast release was absolutely the definitive version.
Grandia 2 was the first rpg I honestly lost so much of my life too!!(in a good way that is)👊💥✌
That game was so good! First RPG I ever played
You just made me cry. I miss this console so much. The memories.
Go to your nearest retro store and ask if they have any Dreamcast's available if not see if they can order one for you failing that you can try eBay or Amazon .
I played Skies of Arcadia: Legends the Gamecube port, and it is STILL my favourite jRPG!
I mean I feel the Dreamcast is soooooo not looooved enough, this was sweet that you guys remembered to pay homage and give the Dreamcast some love!! you guys rock!
Sega Marine Fishing and getting all the different Fish, rocks, submarines etc to put in the giant Aquarium!
What I will remember is that this console shaped the market as it is today, and had some title there that revolutionized the entire industry. The first one being Phantasy Star Online, the most underrated game of them all that deserve to be seen as the game that showed what gaming was going to become in the years coming.
LOVED the dreamcast intro
The best console. No other console has stuck with me more, so good.
I remember when I bought a game I got the the WHOLE game. No BS day one dlc or micro-transactions!
I missed those days. You got everything in one purchase.
My kids 100% won't believe me ,that back in the day you just buy the game,and enjoy it(
💯
Simpler times and less customer feedback and board of directors
Sitting in my friends house, playing demo disks over and over again is my memory. I still have a dreamcast upstairs plugged in ready to play :)
I miss everything about the dreamcast days and the rpg Evolution
The only thing i don't miss was the crappy GD-ROM drive that failed more often than possible. If only Sega had chosen the DVD as the medium of choice but it was just too expensive during the development of the Console. But that certainly would have made it more reliable.
A good game. I still have it and Evolution 2.
great video! another great thing on dreamcast, was that vga box adapter... was the first console I could ever conect to a pc monitor, later to a hdtv, and in the freak accesory stuff... the train simulator command was a great one to look for the dreamcast lovers and collector! greetings from Buenos Aires!
The Dreamcast's overall lifespan wasn't that short, it continued in Japan up to 2007.
I like it and I’m probably going to be the only 14 year old who actually owns one lmao I think I might raise my kids with my sega and Dreamcast because they are like my childhood. My mom pretty much raised me on rétro crap. I wish I’d had time to have all the cool stuff you guys had as kids ;-;
I remember sometime during the console’s dying days it was pretty touch and go whether Shenmue II (among other titles) was actually gonna get released in Europe. Then one day it somehow just magically appeared on the shelf in GAME, a couple of weeks ahead of the published release date. I snapped it up quicker than a very quick thing.
The microphone wasn't only used for SeaMan. You could also use it to voice chat in Alien Front Online.
I remember first seeing screen shots of the dream cast in Tips and Tricks magazine. I thought to myself, "This is it, folks. Games cannot get any better than this."
My Dreamcast still functions amazingly. For me my favourite game was probably Rayman 2 i played that so much
Blue Stinger
Carrier
IllBleed
3 games from my childhood that I still cherish. I would give almost anything to see these games brought back to life.
Love this video! Powerstone is a game capcom should think about bringing back. Phantasy Star online was life, damn I miss my Dreamcast
NewsanceInHD I loved Powerstone 2. One of my favourite Dreamcast games
This was my favorite console to this day. Still have some favorite games like Sonic Adventure, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Toy Commander, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Rayman 2, Soul Calibur, Virtua Tennis... Man. I need to play my Dreamcast again. As soon as my Retro Fighters controller comes in the mail, I am hooking up my Dreamcast and playing all my games again!
Skies of Arcadia ftw forever and always, a re-release is needed for the Switch
A re-release of Skies of Arcadia Legends (GCN version) would be a reason for me to buy a switch
Phantasy Star Online... Not only was it an amazing game with music that still pops into my mind when I'm feeling zen. But the most amazing thing about it was the ability to design your own speech bubbles. Here I am playing online with people from Japan on a console and we understand each other perfectly because we have our own speech bubbles with designs we've made to express our individual emotions. Nothing has come close since. It was amazing. I really miss it.
Absolutely loved Dreamcast!! My favorite system right after Gamecube
I remember the Dreamcast. Had one a lifetime ago, during a better time in my life. All the channels I watch on RUclips..... about 95% of them belong to individuals who were literally infants or tiny little children back when I had a Dreamcast.
I thought u were gonna mention creating a team on NFL 2k(something like that) made of everyone in your hood. Bro, I literally had every player on my team named after somebody from my neighborhood.
Probably wasn't mentioned as a lot of sports games had that option: Sensible Soccer, Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix etc. I did the same :-)
@@hazy33 I was being funny, tbh I just wanted to tell my experience. And that game was better than Madden in my opinion. But as I write I reminisce and I'm thinking about Gameday. Where u could juke move thru an entire defensive lineup. But yeah, memories ;-)
@@juneytoolooney2165 did you ever put batteries in the VMU. I did that once but they lasted such a short space of time, never again.
@@hazy33 naw I thought it was just a memory card
@@hazy33 Ugghh! when you had multiple VMUs and all their batteries would die!
"...and we'll probably not see anything like it."
Nintendo Switch: Am I a joke to you?
9 9 2019, Sega finally makes hardware again and beats Sony (mini consoles). Sweet revenge =) Great video.
Christmas 99 was when I got my Dreamcast. When I was done playing it my lineup was solid - Powerstone, Soul Calibur, Soul Reaver, NHL2k, Crazy taxi, Ready to rumble, aerowings, PSO...man, so many fun times.
One of my biggest life regrets was selling my dreamcast for $100 bucks
At least you got money, I gave mine away 🥵
You can always buy a smoother one.
I knew a dude in school who sold his DC to buy a PS2... WTF was he thinking?
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 don't feel bad, I did worst. I sold mine for 20 bucks, this was back in 2001. I sold it just to buy a memory card for my new GameCube.
@@TheCollector1985 lmao wtf that's literally the worst deal I've ever heard of. Or the best depending on how you look at it lol
Almost done my collection for NTSC! Happy this commemorative video was made!^_^
I was in that camp that thought the Sega Dreamcast would dominate the console wars at the time. It will always be my favorite console. I remember being blown away by the games and graphics back then.
Best console ever made.
I wished Sega would do a "Remake" of the Dreamcast.
Great memories of playing on the dreamcast with my stepfather. We still love to boot it up and play Revolt or (my personal favourite) Toy commander together whenever we get the chance.
The VMU ate batteries like crazy, though... and they weren't cheap.
James Sisk shit was like $10 for no reason
Haha yes, especially if you were hatching the eggs from the Sonic game on them
Still got my Dreamcast, and my Sega Saturn. And in no way am I ever parting with them. I almost cried when my local game shop said they where no longer getting games in for those.
Didn't even mention Nfl2k, the most mainstream of the launch games. They even covered it in the local news. First online game I ever played(wasn't bad for dial up, lag wise). And it's success over the years led to EA's Madden just outright buying the rights to the NFL leading to Monopoly we still have today.
Good point. The sports games were great.
Speaking of Sega Sports/2k, it's crazy how many sports games they put out through two studios in a few years and how many of them were good.
NFL 2k (2k, 2k1, 2k2), NBA 2k (2k, 2k1, 2k2), NCAA Football 2k2, Virtua Tennis were all good games and came out between 1999-2001.
There were only three bad sports games in my opinion released by Sega during the Dreamcast's life: NHL 2k, NHL 2k2, World Series Baseball 2k2.
@referral madness None of the bad Association Football games on the Dreamcast were made by Sega or Visual Concepts
@referral madness Neither Virtua Soccer 2 nor any of the Sega Worldwide Soccer games were bad in my opinion.
Great Vid mate, I loved the crisp clear bright graphics the Dreamcast had no other console ever had or has since
I still keep my Dreamcast around for the best version of Soul Reaver.
Wow the dreamcast. I remember playing sonic adventure 1 and 2.. Almost all those games that he mentions. Jet set radio, crazy taxi were also 2 of my favorites.. its hard to believe thats so many years have already passed... i miss my childhood days :(
I still have a Dreamcast tucked away in my closet.
This video makes me want to break it out again for a little nostalgic run
I still have my Dreamcast with a bunch of games. All the ones listed here and have a. Few working light guns.
How do you not mention the best game ever?
Seaman!
Angry nerd review lolol
The Dreamcast was so special and I will never forget it. I got my Dreamcast (launch day) the day I got my first apartment. We ran 5 Sega Dreamcast's and 5 TV's that night. We had 5 copies of Soul Caliber running for a tournament between friends. What was cool, I had my roommate and 3 other friends in the same line picking it up at Toys R US. We also did this when the PS2 came out. Unfortunately, while I got my PS2 day one most of my friends played Hell getting theirs at launch.
Sonic Shuffle, Fur Fighters, and Spawn: In The Demon’s Hand.🔥
Medieval Spawn's Sword!
YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERSON FOR MENTIONING SONIC SHUFFLE! T7T Few people actually mention it and seeing it in the comments warmed my heart.
Thanks! Glad I could help. I still remember paying $80 for my bundle. Came with Sonic Adventure, Shuffle, and a blue VMU too!
@@romanumeralz That's so cool! 😭💙
Virtual On is a personal fave everyone seems to have forgotten
Also nba showtime was crazy entertaining (not to mention nba 2k's origins)
did anyone play fur fighters on there dream cast?
It was definitely in the top 5 Dreamcast games for me.
Fur Fighters, Sonic Shuffle, Toy Commander were some of my favorites. I have a working Dreamcast with those games and others
@@dewey9596 Not many people seem to talk about Toy Commander :(
Oooh bro no but i played it on ps2, great game!
@@dewey9596 Play Shadow man man, its the best game ever made trust me.
