Capcom and the Sega Dreamcast - Part 1

[@BoyBlaze2002]

Capcom definitely had Segas back til the very end with the DC. DC had a multitude of fighters.

[@BoyBlaze2002]

TrueSinister true indeed, with titles such as last blade and Fatal Fury or Garou mark of the wolves, SNK was an adept contender in supporting the DC next to Capcom.

[@hypergoon1152]

Yep.

[@RetroRuss]

I feel that the Dreamcast, like the Neo Geo AES, was a true arcade gamer's console. So many amazing arcade-style games, with some actually being superior on the DC.

[@AmbientMess]

Soul Calibur being the prime example of that ;)

[@gchijioke12]

It was the last arcade console too. After the Dreamcast, arcades pretty much died in the US.

[@AmbientMess]

@@gchijioke12 True that. The only arcade/console kinship we really got afterwards was the Lindbergh/PS3 with near perfect ports of VF5 (minus the online) and After Burner Climax

[@arioca]

@@AmbientMess True! Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast was actually superior to the arcade in all aspects.

[@arioca]

@@AmbientMess We got a few great ports of arcade shmups for the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well. Now we're getting a lot of emulated arcade games on all current platforms.

[@luckyluke95]

Capcom and Dreamcast it’s like Capcom and Saturn 😍 Excellent Games for excellent console 😍

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Well said, well said.

[@mdedes9891]

I'm so glad that I never sold any of my Saturn or Dreamcast games.

[@luckyluke95]

Mde Des for me, i sell when I was young but now, I buy it 😄

[@worsel555]

The Dreamcast being released kinda hit home for me that the arcades were dying in the States. I used to play Soulcalibur and Marvel vs Capcom in the arcade just about every day after school and suddenly I have a better than arcade perfect port of SC that looked TONS better and a perfect copy of MvC. Why continue to dump money into the machines when I had infinite play at home? Capcom had a lot of great titles and I still count myself fortunate to have owned a Dreamcast right after launch and continue to own one today.

[@Alex-ui8oy]

Capcom keeping the Dream alive

[@DreamcastQ]

The art in these Capcom games still looks so damn good... great stuff

[@IMDLEGEND]

I find it amazing that back in the Genesis days, Capcom took 4 years to become an official 3rd party publisher for the Sega Genesis, despite licensing many of their hits directly to Sega to port over themselves. Flash forward, and Capcom was Sega's top publisher for the Saturn and Dreamcast, even using Sega's Naomi board for all of their Arcade games of the period.

[@vodkahamburger2203]

Capcom:Made a popular arcade game. Sega:we Bring arcade expirience at home. Meanwhile Capcom:here the first 25 games, Next month Will arive other 3 games.

[@marakarthegreat]

the footage of powerstone alone got my interest really good

[@SegaLordX]

Great game. Doesn't cost a fortune either.

[@rickylovesyou]

If you like those type of games try Destrega for ps1, Tobal 1&2 and Erghiez by Squaresoft were of the same type but imo much more enjoyable.

[@marakarthegreat]

@@rickylovesyou I have tobal 1 and 2 and I have to say for tobal 2 the character models and their facial animations really push the ps1's limits

[@marakarthegreat]

@@rickylovesyou also Oliems look like Yondu

[@hypergoon1152]

Same.

[@vadergamer453]

I have many consoles ,but the dreamcast brings me a tear of joy... I swear that dreamcast was better in the graphic department than the ps2.

[@SegaLordX]

In some ways it was, I agree. Particularly when compared to the blurry, heavily jaggy first year software of the PS2.

[@mogo2433]

What I wonder is the same thing I wonder in regards to Saturn.... which is how much further could it have been pushed. Homebrew coders like XL2 show it was capable of some neat 3d stuff. Saturn that is. Again, I wonder how much further DC could have been pushed.

[@vadergamer453]

@simon woods its was the dvd player that made that system sell like hot cakes..i was one of them too..in those days a dvd players were expensive...so it was a no brainer not to buy the ps2. If the dreamcast had a dvd player , i believe sega would be in this console generation not microsoft. Ic sega didnt die ..xbox would have never have lived...o.g. Xbox have many dreamcast games on it..in my opinion sega console death made xbox possible.

[@mogo2433]

@simon woods I had my DC and played Sonic Adv, SC and NFL 2k until the disc ran out. But, I think people were just burned by Sega. I don't even think a DC with DVD capabilities would have made a difference. Don't matter! To me, I loved the train I was on. Sega was making all the right moves.

[@retrosoul8770]

Vader Gamer and SLX indeed. The problem with PS2, is its horrible composite image quality, even on a good CRT it's a blurry mess. Like vaseline smeared all over the image. Whereas DC composite was rich and colorful despite the fact the composite sucks in general. PS2 looks razor sharp and clean however with component video via CRT, it's pretty much the only way for that system to look great. It also took developers a solid year+ to figure that complicated system out, 2001 is when stuff started looking good, Ace Combat 4, Gran Turismo 3, DMC, MGS2. Prior to that, PS2 was embarrassing for a system 2 yrs newer, as most of us didn't have component cables for it.

[@karajoe2822]

After Genesis, Capcom was a great Sega’s third-party.

[@CODmontages110]

It took me a while to notice that a lot of my favorite Dreamcast games come from Capcom. There’s still hidden gems and other titles I adore that aren’t from Capcom, like with Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventures 1/2, Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi 1/2. But then you have my other games that I constantly replay and love that come from Capcom. Games like Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, the Street Fighter series, Capcom vs SNK, Power Stone 1 and 2, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil series and even Spawn. The Dreamcast will always have a special place in my heart.

[@thestendhalsyndrome]

Alpha 3 was the definitive SF to me and still is I loved all the Capcom and SNK fighters that were brought onto the Dreamcast, this console was a godsend for me, I still have all my games and the DC, not even finished watching your video yet but I'm guessing you're gonna mention Project Justice here or in the next one, I played the crap outta that game, I want to see another Rival Schools sequel. There was another Capcom giant robot fighter I'm trying to remember... Tech Romancer, I think that was it, I didn't get to play it much but I remember liking the designs of the mechs. Man thanks for making this, brought back so much memories

[@thestendhalsyndrome]

edit: nvm you featured Tech Romancer!

[@topherowlish]

Tech Romancer had many famous mecha designers work on the designs such as the Macross designer. All the mecha were based on many famous anime series and even had Gundam's Char's Japanese actor playing a masked character Char-type. :)

[@joseharo8294]

My favorite Marvel vs capcom 2

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Nice vid Sega Lord X.👍 2:27 I would love to agree. But after playing both, I would say Powerstone 2 was good, for 4 player fun and content, despite the fact that alot of combos, moves, characters and abilities were missing. But I would give the star points to Powerstone 1, because it had more moves, combos, specials, super moves and stages for each character, that added to the story and characters personalities. And it also had some memorable stages, and stage music, and cheap yet memorable final bosses.

[@cornbreadthedog]

SO glad that Capcom supported the Sega Dreamcast! Loved the Sega Dreamcast! SO Hoping that Capcom releases/remakes/re-releases some of these games for the Nintendo Switch! Would buy these classics instantly! Thanks!

[@jaymzfilkoski223]

In terms of graphical capability, the Sega Dreamcast is AMAZING. One of these days I'm going to invest in buying one. It's yet another console that I missed out on in my childhood. Great video, my Lord!

[@cagarber]

Many fond memories of Capcom DC games ... power stone, re:cv, mvc 1&2... they brought it!

[@Lord_Deimos]

Never seen Code Veronica's Japanese limited edition before, love how it looks like a music album cover.

[@raulvargas4060]

You can buy it really cheap on eBay

[@InglebardGaming]

RE: Code Veronica on DC was the first RE game I actually played. After that one I went and played most of the others that preceded it. I wasn't a huge fan of the ORIGINAL release of Street Fighter III in the arcades, but man did I like Double Impact and particularly Third Strike. It's still got some characters that are a little too wacky for a "regular" Street Fighter game IMO. Capcom support for the Dreamcast was definitely huge and appreciated back in the day. I have to say, I was not a fan of some of their more "popular" DC games but I was glad they were there helping the system along.

[@darthv72]

Mars Matrix I bet is in part 2. Still my favorite Capcom shmup to this day. So many excellent games shown here and will be looking forward to part 2.

[@carncats07]

Me and 3 mates used to fight all night on Power Stone 2. Awesome game.

[@Gaming_since_the_eighties]

The support of CC for the Sega Dreamcast was enormous. It´s hard to believe that the Dreamcast is nearly 21 years old.

[@thestendhalsyndrome]

Forgot they had a Jojo fighter before the anime adaptation international craze happened decades before

[@troymeredith521]

Same with Sword of the Beserk and Record of Lodoss Wars. I was shocked to see these made at all much less being brought over to the West at that time.

[@Riz2336]

For a third party developer I've rarely ever been disappointed by anything Capcom puts out, just quality stuff man

[@andysmith719]

Yes perfect way to end my saturday love your channel man!!!

[@Abel-Alvarez]

Damn Capcom went all out on the Dreamcast during its short life, it felt like a new capcom game was coming out every month.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Giga Wing and Giga Wing 2 are two of my favorite shooters.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

@@NB-1 I own a copy of Mars Matrix and love it!

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Not gonna lie....Capcoms titles did urge me to buy a Dreamcast and yo this day, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT NEXT TO MY SEGA SATURN!

[@geekguitars]

Oh this brings back memories ❤️♥️. Capcom definitely showed major love for the DC. I'm going to say, even though it's been awhile, that the vast majority of fighters, all Shmups and action games on my DC were by Capcom. Having the agetec or DC arcade stick made these games even more divine to play!! Can't wait for part 2!!

[@MagillanicaLouM]

The Power Stone series turned me into a lover of video games. Forever love it and crying for 3 lol

This makes me want to buy a Dreamcast again. I wish I could get a great lot bundled with lots of games. I would pay 300 bucks for it.

[@NeoTurboManiac78]

Capcom games made up a bulk of my Dreamcast library. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was my favorite of the pack.

[@mic2dl]

Can’t wait for the continuation of this. The Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles. I love Plasma Sword and I’ll play a few rounds every so often. Gotta say that Power Stone 2 is indeed it’s a better overall game than the original but the original’s gameplay tops it imo. I always wished they made a 3rd one with 1’s gameplay and 2’s everything else.

[@supermonk3y07]

Omg it's hard to decide, I would choose 2 over 1 but I agree with you that Powerstone 1 was still very good. I really agree with you that they should've made a 3rd game. I played the heck out of both of them and made me wanting more. They were so fun. Played both a lot and liked both a lot. As far as the 1st one, I don't know, I think it could have been just like the case with me, I enjoyed it a lot because of the novelty factor.

[@dustineffler7658]

This series deserved a Third Installment! :)

[@itsmatt517]

I loved Power Stone, strange the only other platform it was released on was PSP up to now

[@SuperNintendoMii]

Great video as always. Capcom did well supporting Dreamcast, even Resident Evil showed how seriously they took the system

[@icekokoro2708]

I never fully appreciated my original DC till it was long gone. What surprises me now is that about ten years ago they were still selling sealed DCs for like $99.99 and I jumped on it immediately. It felt so good to expand my library of games, something I never really got to do as a kid. I still had a few more to get including Power Stone and its sequel before times got tough and I had to sell it. Sigh... here’s to hoping the third time’s the charm. Of course it’s gonna be pricier than before, especially if it’s the US versions of these games.

[@LampHatScott]

Capcom releasing their games on Sega was the best thing ever. We got Resident Evil 2 and 3. Dreamcast did get big releases contrary to popular belief.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Another truly great video. Reminds me how special owning a Dreamcast was. To this day I still miss Tech Romancer. That game was never released anywhere else. Keep up the great work!

Capcom's support was one of the primary reasons I bought a DC. To this day this is the best way to play Tech Romancer.

[@cristianroy21]

Power Stone is exactly the reason why I searched this. Hell yeah that was my childhood game

[@EKlicKKlacK3]

Capcom did an awesome job supporting the DC. I think Gigawing is a solid shooter though and one of my favorites for the system. Gigawing 2 however, not so much. It would have been really cool to see some other CPS games released on the system. Like Progear, or Dimahoo.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

It always makes me happy to see Dreamcast getting some love :)

[@newtypepunk9967]

Capcom was the Dreamcasts right hand man, it wouldn't be the same console without there support.

[@ravagingwolverine]

It was a cool thing to see, and a bit surprising too. Sega and Capcom didn't seem to have the best relationship in the 16-bit days, though that may have been Capcom trying to stay on Nintendo's good side.

[@newtypepunk9967]

@@ravagingwolverine That's true the 8-16bit era was mostly devoted to Nintendo, but you could say that is when Nintendo were at their most strongest in the video game industry. Capcom really backed the Saturn and Dreamcast after that, it was good times for us gamers.

[@merlip80]

Glad you said Code Veronica still looks good that's exactly what l was thinking.Its inconceivable how the DC failed just have a look at some of the games but yeah the PS2 was to much of a juggernaut back then.Cant wait to see part 2. :)

They technically did. It was called the CPS changer. It was essentially a consolized CPS1 (similar to how the Neo Geo AES was a consolized version of the MVS). It never really took off and the last game that was released was Street Fighter Alpha.

[@MJFLIX]

Derick Kerr they need to do it for next gen and drop sf6, darkstarkers, powerstone all the goodies on that bad boy and wide screen all the retro games.

[@ZeniusFox]

@@MJFLIX the only thing I need from Capcom right now is a Marvel vs. Capcom collections which includes X-Men COTA and MSH. Capcom's home arcade does what you are looking for , however, it is severely lacking in titles. A new Darkstalkers would be sweet.

[@MadPanicGaming]

AWESOME video! Don't know how I wasn't subscribed to you before, but I fixed that situation. The library of Capcom games on the Dreamcast is reason enough to own one.

[@supermonk3y07]

Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube and the Playstation Vita are the three most underrated consoles of all time. All were pretty amazing, had potential too. Also wish Sega hadn't stopped becoming a console manufacturer, since I would've loved to see a Sega Dreamcast 2, and even a Sega Dreamcast 3 and would've been neat to see a Dreamcast portable. Probably would've been similar to an Xbox 360 but slightly less powerful and released in late 2004/early 2005 maybe. Wish I could win the lottery so I could fund Sega, so they could make another console. I know people time after time have said that but wow, Sega dropped out of the console race so fast.

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Very neat video. Indeed, the Dreamcast had excellent ports of Capcom games across the board. SFA3 is the high point for me, since it has so much extra content on top of all the quality one would expect out of it. Not sure if you are saving it for the second part, but it's also worth noting that the DC also had the best port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It plays incredibly well and has a wealth of options not found either in its arcade incarnation nor other ports.

[@andrewbryce2707]

Yo dude. Great video. Like you I also imported a Japanese Dreamcast and imported the majority of these games before they were released in the west.

Code Veronica Is one of my favorite games for the console too. It did feel like more of a direct sequel to Resident Evil 2.

[@ReinaHW]

Code Veronica deserves a remake after RE3 Remake is out in a few months time, a remake could really unlock the potential of the game in full that the original release couldn't given the limitations of the technology at the time.
