Thanks for a really great, entertaining and informative video - I can tell you put a lot of effort into it - thank you for that. 2 of my 3 all time favourite consoles are The Saturn and the Dreamcast. (The third is the PS3, which has an amazing library, and honestly the step up from PS3 to 4, and 4 to 5, is insignificant compared to from PS2 to 3) The Saturn becomes much more interesting once you have access to all the amazing Japan exclusive titles

The Dreamcast should have won the battle against Sony, really. At least until the GameCube showed up. Japan's release schedule for Sonic Adventure 2 shows however, just how quickly SEGA had to combat the loss they made from the Dreamcast. It released in early 2001 for Dreamcast in Japan and near the end of the year again for the GameCube.

Would you transition into console gaming if SEGA made another one?

[@defiraphi]

@@mihailoaleksic3330 If you talk to me no i don't want another Sega console that will fall in the nostalgia purpose but quality wise it will be zero. Also there will be nothing "new" and "revolutionnary" made . It is too late imho . Look how Nintendo offers as games every year the same sh*t again and again . There were much better games than Mario , Sonic, Zelda to be honest . Also the clones that got made makes it not more an unique game anymore . We are very far from games like R-Type, Thunder Blade, Golden Axe, Street Fighter, Operation Wolf, Mortal Kombat, Alien Storm, Altered Beast , etc....they're all superior than an italian plumber Mario & a blue hedgehog Sonic which the real Sega mascot is for me Alex Kidd not Sonic .

@@defiraphi I talked to this guy but it's OK that you replied, and well, I think that SEGA will make a commercial failure if they make a console now, but it'll be nice to see a modern system by them because who knows how long it'll be stuck on the Dreamcast.

[@defiraphi]

@@mihailoaleksic3330 Thank you much and fair answer . But why always modernise our favorite games or remake them without even been able with older Windows 98, 2000NT, XP ? what is the point into remaking Resident Evil 1,2,3&4 if the real feeling isn't present besides the über graphics which is the only excuse lately same goes with other games . Seriously they already remade Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1,2 and 3 but doesn't look similar anymore . Can't people move on ?

[@dqwno4900]

The Saturn was actually quite a success in Japan. It outsold the N64 and came in second place to the Playstation. People in Japan had different expectations for the fifth generation. They weren’t into 3D graphics like we were. One of the biggest reasons why it was successful in Japan was because arcades were still very big when it came out. People realized that the Saturn can reproduce arcade games really well, which helped sales. It was considered to be the best at-home arcade system. I’m glad it was a success in Japan. It’s a good console that’s often overlooked by the Dreamcast and Genesis.

[@nr2676]

Sakura Taisen 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 2, Sega Rally, and ,,anime'' games like Gundam / Neon Genesis Evangelion / Super Robot Wars F carried Saturn in Japan. Sakura Taisen 3 & 4, Shenmue, Sega Rally 2, Seaman, Resident Evil Code Veronica carried Dreamcast in Japan.

I truly believe if the Sega Genesis was a full cd based console instead of needing an add on. I think Sega would be in a much better position facing Nintendo and Sony. They might have still been in the console market today if they had the patience to release "revisions" of the hardware at least 3-4 years after the launch models then release a new console about a year or two after the slim model of their current console releases, while also not having a lot of internal conflicts behind the scenes, Sega would still be a force to be wrecking with especially with their classic library of games. I wish we went back to having at least 4 consoles on the market to even out the competition.

[@Thor-Orion]

Sony wasn’t competition for the Genesis. It was competition for the Saturn. The Saturn had some serious issues with it’s design though, because they thought that sprite scaling would be the future of gaming instead of 3-D. If you notice all the 3-D games for the Saturn were made by in house Sega teams. This is because very few outside developers could make heads or tails of the hardware, which featured two processors that communicated in a very odd way. However, I had all of Sega’s systems and they had GREAT games, they should have been a game publisher from the beginning, honestly. They wasted so much money making stupid moves in the console market, but their in house design teams made SO many fantastic games. If they didn’t piss away so much money they wouldn’t have so many great IP’s that are just collecting dust nowadays because they feel they’ll only make money from like 4 of them.

[@katherineberger6329]

Genesis was too early for full CD-based gaming. CD hardware was still in its infancy and still VERY expensive in 1988.

Dude the Genesis was released in 1988. CD's weren't even used for music yet in most homes. It was tapes for tunes, carts for games. SEGA's demise was down to political in-fighting between their American and Japanese.

7:31 Mortal Kombat was also on Super Nintendo. The blood for the Genesis was "hidden" behind a code while being removed from the SNES entirely. 9:43 Game Gear was an 8-bit handheld. Calling it a 16-bit handheld contradicts what you said about the Nomad. Interestingly enough, Game Gear and Gameboy used a similar CPU being Z80 based. 10:54 The Motorola 68k is on the Genesis. Z80 is an 8-bit CPU, mentioned above, but the Genesis was a multiprocessor system. 17:03 Note Dreamcast never competed directly with the XBox as there was a 7 month timespan between the discontinuation of the Dreamcast hardware and the release of the XBox. That said, you could easily find games for both systems being sold at retail at the same time. There is a lot of interesting history of the XBox and Dreamcast that is well worth looking into.

Shenmue and Crazy Taxi were the best titles for the dreamcast , you didn't mention them.

[@Rohaldos]

Shenmue a fantastic game for the Dreamcast and very much ahead of its time costed $70 millions to make, this is another reason why Sega was bleeding money

[@Josh-tx8sj]

I've spent a lot of my life playing those two games

[@alpzerlaken]

Why is Shenmue is so expensive and rare despite being a great games? Oh well at least I got Crazy Taxi

[@whowho8470]

Soulcalibur... I'll never forget playing it on Dreamcast for the first time. For the time, the graphics were another level.

Wow yes, things have changed a lot for me since one year ago! Thanks!

[@jsttv]

I just discovered your channel, and really enjoyed your video on Sega. I own most of the US release systems. Perhaps, if Sega released the DVD upgrade before, or on the PS 2’s release date. The Dreamcast could of sold more IMO.

No chance. Sony had a big following by the time the Dreamcast was announced. Sony only had to hint at the PlayStation 2 and people would have forgotten the Dreamcast ever existed. The DVD compatibility of the PS2 made it appealing to a lot more people sure as it became the most cost effective DVD player at the time. But that wasn't what gave Sony the edge. The fact that Sony was killing it at that stage is what gave them the edge. Sega could have released a DVD console with an inbuilt hard drive and the PS2 would still have won that battle.

[@fat_sonic]

Awe man, when that dramatic music started playing at the end... and it was the dream casts turn... teared up a tiny bit. Makes me feel a little sad. I like Nintendo and all but if Sega somehow got enough money, they'd need to make a Sega console and handheld. Doesn't need to be 4K. Like I know they'd love to have a bunch of modern game ports or remakes for it , especially catching up on all of the Sega and Sonic games they made after the dream cast. That actually might sell pretty good. As long as they have Sonic origins and frontiers on it lol. But no, I'd even start a fundraiser to help Sega. Would anyone donate? Fuck, I would.

[@efrains2538]

[@BobandBros6000]

So true😢my parents grew up with sega consoles and I would love to have that joy😢😢😢

I don't own a Sega, but the Sega Saturn intro sounds dope. Edit: if you want the time stamp, its 13:57

[@Lusiorange]

I’d agree bro

[@FViola440]

I have all of them Hooked up in my basement currently. My favorite Sega Console is Genesis. My entire childhood was spent on that console. Sonic, Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon just to name a few of the all time greats. Dreamcast is by far the best console they made. One of the best Homebrew Machines out there

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

Sega Saturn was actually pretty succesful in Japan, outselling the N64 in that territory.

[@arizonad8012]

I had Sega Saturn, brought by my aunt from Australia.It was badass console with really good games.And it was even cooler because nobody ever saw it in my country, and exept my friends nobody actually got to play it :)

the dreamcast was ahead of its time. It could run full-fledged 3d games at 60 fps

[@unnamedchannel2613]

And lost to PS2 for no reason

[@eSh..]

@@unnamedchannel2613 Fun fact: Sony's inclusion of a DVD player into the PS2 was cheaper than a lot of stand-alone DVD-players at the time ($250 ~ $300). For a lot of people, a PS2 was their first DVD player.

I own the sega master system, Super Nintendo, sega Genesis/megadrive and the sega game gear. Fantastic memories of childhood and my absolute favourite is the Sega Genesis. Nintendo was fantastic but I was always on team Sega!

[@MrFoxInc]

As a Nintendo kid, I was almost completely oblivious to Sega, so this was a great video to catch up. Thanks! It's worth mentioning though that 11:30 Desert Bus wasn't released as a console-seller title, it was a joke game which was part of "Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors", which didn't even end up being released as the publishers went bankrupt before release. Sega had a lot of failed consoles, but this didn't contribute to that failure lol

[@NFSBeast2365]

Rest In Peace Sega’s console division. I love Sega’s various games.
