Ironically, the whole "they could have held on to 2D for 20 years" thing almost happened with the Saturn, which wasn't really designed for 3D at all. Most Japanese games developers kept writing 2D games for the system. SEGA of America refused to certify them, because they had just hired the bloke that got fired from Sony for refusing to certify Mega Man 8 and almost lost Resident Evil in the process. So you had a console with a massive library of 2D games that the console manufacturer refused to allow outside of Japan because "thats old tech lols"

[@gingermcgingin1733]

Didn't he also just hate the Saturn & deliberately undermined it at every opportunity?

[@wasneeplus]

@@gingermcgingin1733 yes, he did. He gave a speech in 1996 in which he said Sega's future wasn't with the Saturn. Problem was the Dreamcast was still three years away, and since Sega supporting five other systems at the time it gave publishers the impression they might soon discontinue the Saturn.

[@zelda64rules]

You forgot Nintendo's biggest cock-up. The whole reason the PlayStation was even a thing was because Nintendo was actually looking into CD's for an add-on and then Nintendo switched to Phillips at the last minute (and thus CD-i). This made Sony want revenge, and thus they entered the console market.

[@louisduarte8763]

So many wonderful things were invented out of spite, weren't they?

[@mikedawolf95]

CD was the entire reason, they couldn’t decide who would get CD control (money, games, license, etc). So Nintendo broke off and went with the CDi because they gave Nintendo all the control. Sony in the end was like well we already have an entire console and let’s make our own CDs and games.

[@rotz394]

Considering how many old Playstation games are being remastered on the Switch, and how much Microsoft is willing to let them get in with cross-play, I think Sony and Microsoft have figured out that Nintendo just doesn't care about console wars, only about the flavour of gummy bears its eating in its space helmet.

[@elephantofdoom]

The irony is despite all the marketing (such as the goddamn name of the console) focusing on the power of the system, in practice the N64 wasn't much more powerful than the PS1. While it did have 64-bit processing, in practice this rarely mattered. The N64's architecture was so poorly optimized, that about half of its power went to just making the system run. When you combine the fact that the system lacked dedicated audio hardware and its video card was pathetic, it had even less memory to run the games. And even then, with the inability to show nearly as many colors or textures as the PS1 and the storage capacity of the cartridge being so tiny, the games always looked worse than PS1 games anyway.

[@bloodstoneore4630]

The Elephant of Doom and lest we not forget the 64 doubleD, to which all n64 games were basically sacrificed to because expansions we're planned and the only thing we got out of it was Majora's mask (good as it is but not what was promised)

[@williamproto6164]

The worst part is the extremely limited storage on cartridges compared to discs. Even Resident Evil 2, the biggest game on the N64 by far, was only 64 MB whereas the PS1 version had 2 700 MB discs and it really shows.

[@hickey1292]

William Proto Yeah, I'm still amazed that they managed to cut enough corners to make Resident Evil 2 work on the N64. Some major technological wizardry. The FMVs look shockingly bad on the N64 though.

[@bensell982]

I do wonder what the industry would be like if the n64 was a cd based system the PlayStation wouldn't have nearly as big of a 3rd party line up because the only reasons most jumped ship was costly development and memory limits PlayStation probably would've faded out of existence and it might only be Nintendo and pc gaming maybe xbox

And don´t forget PC gaming went from geeky complicated games like Warcraft and ES: Arena, to amazing games like Max Payne, KOTOR, Morrowind, and many others.

[@sagafor11]

It was in my opinion the best era for platformers, on PS2 ( J&D, R&C, Sly Cooper), and Gamecube (Mario Sunshine is still one of my fav platformers).

[@DumbTomato]

I think yahtzee did an extra punctuation article at some point on why he thinks the ps2 era is probably the closest thing there is to a clear golden age in video games due to it being in just that right sweet spot on the ratio of technology to dev costs. Like the further back we go, the cheaper things generally get, but the worse the technology get, and vice versa for further ahead. The ps2/gamecube era being in *just* the right spot on this scale where you have the technology to realize most visions of gameplay, just so long as you don't go completely crazy with it, but the dev costs are still low enough that you could afford being creative. I really kind of agree with this. I cant quite imagine something like pikmin, katmari damacy or super monkey ball as being something that could possibly come out during the ps3 era or later unless they were highly experimental indie games you would get of off steam or something.

Or had another game come out in the next month, but anything before the saturn was really a late 4th gen console. Even the saturn was suppose to be a 2d machine, they had to stitch 2 processors together to make it '32' bit, similar to how the jaguar got its '64' if I remember right.

[@benanderson89]

The Jaguar _did_ have a 64-bit bus and graphics chip-set with a 64-bit word length in RAM. The British company that developed the hardware were making two consoles code-named Cheetah and Jaguar, Jaguar having the 64-bit graphics tech and Cheetah having the 32-bit tech. Sadly, because Atari were desperate and poorly managed, they cancelled the Cheetah and released the Jaguar before it was complete, so the hardware is buggy and missing features, thus games were hard to make and looked like shit.

brainflash1 If Atari thinks they can bring back a new console that would play "new" games as much as old ones than who can say for sure? All I hope is that SEGA will call their new console the SEGA Superstar.

[@SuspiciousScout]

That console wasn't made by Sega, it was made by a third party company that's known for making horrible "flashback" consoles.

[@joekidd8878]

It's a terrible emulator though.

[@SuspiciousScout]

Malfunction The genesis one they made was extremely poor. Frame rates were incredibly inconsistent and the sound quality was abysmal. I don't know how they get away with it.

[@hanro50]

...I love these series...

[@XFGHL78E]

Ah the Jingle... **Sounds of Organism**

[@arthurs3691]

Organism...

[@Intothevoid-NIB]

Well organisms make many different sounds. Dogs bark, cats meow, cows go moo. You're going to need to be more specific

[@merrittanimation7721]

Love that jingle

[@dappercuttlefish9557]

I'm betting that, when PC gaming finally destroys Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo will still be off with a space helmet full of gummy bears doing just fine. It'll just be hanging out, making handhelds, doing its own thing. Not really competing with PC.

[@Dreddpool82]

Keep up the great work, love your videos.

[@ryanwelch1272]

Kinda feel like Yahtzee is going to miss a few good indie games this year, like Sexy Brutale and Mr Shifty. What do you guys think?

[@thod8820]

Ahh the Sexy Brutale a horribly named awesome game.

[@weergalmen]

who cares, it is just 5 minutes of Yahtzee rambling every week, that's all i'm here for.

[@ryanwelch1272]

I just want Sexy Brutale to get more exposure, as well as some other good indie titles that hit in spring.

[@DoanDavid]

Yahtzee mentioned Sexy Brutale in his Yahtzee annoys his girlfriend: Dark Souls stream the other day. He said it was an interesting and fun game.

[@fearedjames]

Ryan Welch I felt that Sexy Brutale didnt deserve the aclaim it got. Its a short, easy adventure game with extroardinarily good music. If Sexy Brutale lacked its music artist, it would be treated as a mediocre to poor adventure game that can be finished in 4 hours and has a slightly cool plot idea with crap execution and no ambition.

[@chopstyx1]

CD32 was my first console. I loved that thing.

[@ViceCommando]

It might be two big ones again, as xboxone is getting behind... Switch might surpass it after Nintendo gets the actual consoles on the market. We live in strange times.

[@bensell982]

ViceCommando in terms of international market xbox has always been behind it really is only successful in north America

[@ViceCommando]

Sure Nintendo has more total sales as it works with handheld market also, but didn't PS3 and XBOX360 sell similar numbers? After WiiU this is good news for Nintendo.

[@timetraveler5547]

ViceCommando Yea. They both sold roughly about 84 million units, with the Wii selling 100 million plus.

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

That Jaguar and 64 bit joke filled me xD
