Absolutely! Although, i'll gladly take 87-95 with the NES, SNES, GEN, GB, TGFX & Arcade games...After that it's definitely Saturn, PS1, N64 & Dreamcast! The Dreamcast was the final console of the 90's and the last console i was ever truly excited about. Such a unique awesome looking console, including it's controller with the pastal colored buttons & VMU. Truly ahead of it's time with one of the greatest launches in video game history. I remember the PS2 launch by comparison being a massive disappointment. Regurgitated controller, ugly console design, stale line up of dreary colored 30fps launch titles. I hated that system. :P

I am reading a lot of comments stating that the quote about piracy was wrong. The statement was regarding the actual GD rom format which, as of writing this comment, has not actually been hacked. The main method of piracy was done by exploiting a hard coded integration of karaoke discs. While it is unbelievably easy to pirate for the Dreamcast, it is not due to the disc format. However, the one thing you can blame on the disc format for was the Dreamcast's failure.

Dreamcast is still a great console, almost 21 years after it released. Next to my 3ds, this is my favorite console and I love collecting for the system. There are so many good games on the system, especially third party games. I prefer playing Resident Evil 2, 3, Code Veronica and Dino Crisis on my Dreamcast. And don’t get me started on all the first party games. The high quality and amazing games released exclusively (at the time) for the Sega Dreamcast. Arcade experiences, JRPG experiences, adventures games, sport titles, it was a beast when it came down to games. I loved Marvel vs Capcom 2, Capcom vs SNK, Sonic Adventures 1/2, Jet Grind Radio, EGG, Skies of Arcadia, Sega Rally, Phantasy Star Online, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and so much more.

The first system I ever pre-ordered and purchased with my own money!

Just so you know they are still making games for the system! There are 6 games coming this year. Pier solar came out for the ps4, wii u,xbox one and Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was the only one to get a physical copy. Also other indie games and shoot um ups. If you get one not only will you still get new games but they now have an sd card for the Dreamcast that you can play all the roms on if you cant afford all the games.

If sega would have had more money to put a DVD player in the dreamcast sega would still be around today most likely. A lot of people who didn't even play games only bought a ps2 because it was the cheapest DVD player on the market. That could have been the dreamcast and all that hardware sales would have kept them alive as a console manufacturer

[@kjellvb1979]

Also, Sony had the balls to take a hit on the DVD player, I believe they lost money on the actual console as it sold for 100 or so less than the actual hardware was worth. iirc

A bit late but Sega was always going to leave the console market after the Dreamcast. Their president said so right after the U.S. launch. The Dreamcast was an attempt by Sega to right themselves financially before going third party.

[@itsstillthinking1999]

It's interesting to look at the sales of the Dreamcast, you find that it actually did not fail in terms of sales. The problem was the SOJ forced SOA to launch the 32x and then the Saturn early. Then the famous e3 97 comment sealed the Saturn's death, this caused Sega to be in the red by the summer of 97 and made them not have a console for most of 97, 98 and 99 so they had no source of income not to mention the arcade business dying. The Dreamcast did fine in sales but the burden of past mistakes was too much. I did a big topic on it on Dreamcast-Talk and condensed it into a video

[@fukuharasan]

True spoken - the Dreamcast was very successfull, especialy at it's start where it was the fastest selling console on a system launch to that point. However unlike other console launches, it had to make profit from day one, and thats a huge burden!

[@segaunited3855]

Not Quite sir. Here's The TRUTH to what actually happened: In December 1999, after facing tremendous pressure from Sega's Parent Company CSK, Nakayama agreed to step down as President and CEO of Sega despite the successful International Rollout of Dreamcast. Nakayama stepping down under pressure sealed Sega's fate at the time. You see, CSK had been actively swindling SEGA, they had cheated Sega out of $2 billion with poor investments like GameWorks, misused Sega's funds, and abused Chairboard authority. CSK's Owner Isao Okawa took over as Sega's CEO in 2000. The instant he did, he immediately ordered Sega to dissolve ALL of its gaming divisions. The name change from Sega Enterprises,Ltd to Sega Corporation,Inc he orchestrated was so that Sega could become like NEC and abandon video gaming altogether. Okawa hated Video Games. He didn't even allow CSK to fund Dreamcast outside of Japan. Nakayama and Sega had to raise Venture Capital from other investors to get Dreamcast funded for International release. Okawa was also an extreme Bigot and Xenophobe, who DESPISED Tom Kalinske with a fiery passion. Sega wasn't broke, their Parent Company didn't want to fund them anymore unless they stopped making video games. CSK had owned 100% of Sega since 1983. With Nakayama no longer at Sega in 2000, Okawa was now in power to do whatever he wanted, Sega was now at his mercy. SEGA did NOT want to leave. Okawa FORCED them at gunpoint and BLACKMAILED other divisions, threatening to shut down Sega of Europe if they didn't comply with his orders and intimidated Peter Moore with ludicrous investor demands "You better outsell PS2 at least Once in a NPD, if you can't, we'll pull the plug". SEGA basically quit consoles because a new CEO took over who wanted them to abandon video gaming altogether. Said CEO was also the Owner of the Parent Company, and thus had full power and control. Plenty of Corporate sponsors like Microsoft and Toshiba wanted to keep the console going, Toshiba even wanted to buy 80% Stake in Sega. SEGA was screwed over and ruined by their then Parent Company in the 90s. And no, SOJ did NOT force SOA to rush out the Saturn. That's not factual.

[@fukuharasan]

Even if all of that is true (wich I can't neither decline or confirm, my knowlege doesn't reach that far), a long - term successfull Dreamcast could have forced Okawa most likely to stick with the buisness, as money is more convincing on the lomg run than personal ideals. Look at Sony, in the initial days, Ken Kutaragi had basicly to cheat to produce the SNES's soundchip - and now playstation and videogames are most likely the only thing that keeps hem afloat. People can be convinced, but you need really strong arguments - and sometimes the right decisions in the right time. A more straightforward structure at Sega would have helped, but it aways felt like there are two Segas, always not quite shure what to think of the other one....

[@segaunited3855]

Okawa was the Owner of Sega's Parent Company CSK Holdings from 1983 to 2002, he wasn't interested in saving Sega, he was only interested in lining his pockets to dissolve SEGA as a Gaming Brand and HIMSELF. He wanted Sega to become like NEC, and abused Chairman authority over and over again. Hayao Nakayama and Co-Founder David Rosen were the ones actually in charge at SEGA and were President & CEO and COO respectively. Okawa and CSK were driving Sega down into RED and debt. By 2003, SEGA had a climbing $3.1 billion deficit that came from liquidating Dreamcast. SEGA had to escape CSK or else they would be driven out of business had they remained. So Sega found Sammy Corporation and Haijime Satomi. From 2003-2010, Sammy owned half of Sega, and allowed Sega to maintain half of itself until August 26,2010, when Satomi sold off Sammy Corporation and all of its properties,divisions,stocks,bonds,expenditures,assets to Kabushiki Kaisha Sega. Meaning, Sammy is currently a Wholly Owned Subsidiarity of SEGA Holdings,Co,Ltd. Okawa and CSK should have been removed from Parent Ownership in '94 by David Rosen and Hayao Nakayama, as Pioneer Corporation at the time had extreme interest in buying 90% stake of SEGA Enterprises. Bottom line, CSK and Okawa should have been long gone from Sega's grip by 1995. None of this would have happened had Pioneer become their New Parent Company. Regarding Sony, they weaseled their way into the gaming business, first by Cheating Nintendo out of its CD add on deal for Super Famicom by creating a Clause that would have given them 80% control of the add on AND the rights to use Nintendo's IPs, second by trying to steal blueprints and information on Sega's Next Gen Project in 1991 by pretending to be an OEM prospect with SOJ only for SOJ to REJECT them and throw them out of their offices. And then, by deceiving,manipulating and LYING to Sega of America by ILLEGALLY manufacturing Sega CD, and conned them successfully into allowing them access to ALL top secret information on the 32-bit Cartridge Model 1 Based JUPITER Console. Which became the PSX.

[@embracerodusk2537]

Dreamcast tech would have been way too expensive around 96 or 97. If anything, they launched too soon. Should have waited for the PS2, surpassed the tech and had the online ready to go which STILL would have been ahead of Sony or anyone else. Also a better controller with dual sticks. That would have given them the best chance IMO...but I think no matter what they were doomed trying to compete with three corporations with much deeper pockets. Even Nintendo has had a tough time against Sony and MS which is why they ended up going in crazy different directions (which works out sometimes, sometimes not). There's no way SEGA could have kept going.

Ready to Rumble I actually enjoy that game along with power stone I remember me and my brother just beating the crap out of each other in that game which was saying a lot because my brother was never that into gaming, I personally thought the Dreamcast was dope.

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

The dreamcast was to me the last true gamers system. It was made by gamers for gamers. The games,Design,Online gamplay,Graphics. After that systems were great and all but none catered to gamers quite like the Sega Dreamcast. The ps2 was marketed as a glorified DVD player

[@manuelosorio9325]

Still have mine. Love this system ❤❤❤

[@Y.o.s.h]

Retro Alliance Gaming I did too can't wait. I'm praying that the hype isn't going to disappoint I learned this from watchdogs

[@MC_gusto]

I still have my Dreamcast and it still works skies of arcadia and grandia 2 are my favorite games for DC

[@scarosone14]

Still one of my favorite consoles of all time.

[@newphilmz3605]

They should have dropped in 2000, that way the Dreamcast wouldn't have been considered a "90's" console coming into the new millennium.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

I like it being ahead of the times. Makes it seem like someone brought it from the future into the past to impress everyone. lol

[@toughmanrandysavage3077]

THIS ONE'S HUGE!!!!!!!

[@sentelnbalivebolton7399]

The new consoles come out nowadays and why don't they have shows like this to give it the perspective from the developers and everyone the shows that they have on KZbin or not the same as this this is awesome this is what you call real hype

[@MrKeech666]

Is that the Sess I hear?! It is! It is!

[@2Sweeet]

Ive never played Dreamcast or Game Cube, they both look neat though. I remember wanting a DC for the DC exclusive WWF Royal Rumble game, haha.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

all the generation 6 consoles rocked!

[@KoopaXross]

5:03 you can play Kraken in Power Stone on Dreamcast? How?

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

Beating the game with all characters unlocks Kraken (any difficulty).

[@dragline7287]

This dreamcast sounds pretty cool.

[@ilusha88]

God, the dutch angles. It's almost as bad as Battlefield Earth.

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

I'd rather chew on my own foot dipped on battary acid that's been soaked in puke then ever watch battlefield earth! To think I saw it at the movies and bought a ticket ughhhhhhhhh

[@adamhovey407]

Retro Alliance Gaming me too, but my mother bought the ticket. On the positive side, it was only 0.99 US

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

Nah. I dig it.

[@HauntingTheHoly]

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

Thats odd in 5 yeats this is he firt rime i ever heard this video was to low.sounds ok to me.

[@torturetests]

[@raidenshields4829]

It's funny how in 1999 the world Already knew that Nintendo was gonna be releasing a brand new 6th console to compete with the Dreamcast and PS2 but they called it the 🐬 Dolphin. I never knew the original codename for the GameCube was the Dolphin. The Nintendo Dolphin. Horrible name. She said can the Dreamcast compete with Sony and Nintendo. Nope. In September of 1999 when the Dreamcast was launched nobody ever would've thought that Microsoft would make their own home console. They had a hand in the Dreamcast creation. The Dreamcast was actually compatible with an optimized version of Windows CE it even says it on the front of the Dreamcast. Trip. Microsoft used their learned knowledge from Dreamcast to create the Xbox. So in a way the death of the Dreamcast spawned the birth of the Xbox. Still when Dreamcast was launched nobody knew what the PS2 was gonna be or how powerful a console it was going to be. Nobody knew that PS2 was gonna blow Dreamcast out of the water a year before Nintendo released it's next gen console the GameCube and and by that time the Dreamcast was dead and Microsoft released the Xbox. Sega was in the works even after the Dreamcast was discontinued to have the Xbox run Dreamcast games natively on Sega's GD-ROMs but there were disputes between Sega and Microsoft over online support for Dreamcast games and the deal never happened.

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

Times have changed quite a bit. I wish Sega was still in the market. IT would be such a different place for gaming. A

[@james42519]

yeah there were some windows ce games but windows ce came on each game disc that used it. most games were made with kanata because was easier too www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2016/05/windows-ce-is-best-os-and-dreamcast-is.html

[@horodoomwolf]

PS2's hardware is shit compared to Dreamcast's, PS2 won the war against Xbox and GameCube due to retrocompatibility with PSone games and piracy

[@acidstormbrhue4127]

Raiden Shields that last part is really interesting, do you have further info or sources? I want to dig deep into this 8)

[@Tornado1994]

PS2 was actually weaker than Dreamcast.

[@jacksondiol9074]

You know whats funny, on the Name tag art work as showed here- 4:51 the left of it kinda looks like a Nintendo Switch

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

Ya it actually does!

[@jimmyandersson9604]

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

The only time I played DreamCast was for Mortal Kombat Gold, an updated version of MK4 with six more characters and four more stages.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]
