Sonic Adventure (Almost) Saved The Dreamcast In 1999

[@MyRetroLife]

Hey guys! MRL is seeing a bit of a facelift. I'm bringing my friends along and sort of taking a podcast style approach. Hope y'all enjoy it! Can't believe Sonic Adventure and the Dreamcast are 25 Years old. I have so many amazing memories with this game and console. How about y'all?

[@BoneCK15]

@@MyRetroLife downloaded this on Redream and my son instantly gravitated towards it. I was a 90s Sega kid myself and it's so cool to see my 11 year old son get the same enjoyment that I did.

When i first got my dreamcast, my first game was unreal tournament. I never had the mouse or keyboard, but I still loved the hell out of that game. Still love it to this day, even on controller.

I just played some Sonic Adventure with my kid this morning. Time to party like it’s 9-9-99!

[@marioq8395]

I had my first job working at movie theater the summer before 9/9/99 in high school. I went with my friend to pick up his Dreamcast and ended up getting one for myself with Soul Caliber. My Dad was mad I wasn't saving all my summer money. No regrets.

[@akalalaimranrp]

When I got my first job in 2000 summer, I was 14 years old. I bought Dreamcast with my own money. It felt so amazing, and I still got a Dreamcast.

[@Blanco8x8]

I played the GameCube port of Sonic Adventure, and I can see how amazing the graphics were when it came out in 1999. Like imagine seeing a PS2/GameCube quality game running in real time back when most of us were still playing N64 and PS1.

@@TheMasterofDisaster48 I grew up with the PS2. I did not even know what the Sega Dreamcast was till 2012 when I was 12. I was born in 2000 so the Dreamcast was already gone before I was able to start remembering things.

[@codishotwell150]

Yes, simple no updates with bugs all the time. No live service games at all. No half of a game with over price DLC. Just hit the power button and you at the title screen full game. And the first major console to play online the old school 56k modem sounds.

[@jeremyzeeky3024]

I swear the Dreamcast would've saved Sega if they weren't already in the hole from Saturn and if the PS2 wasn't such a perfect follow up lol. It wasn't your fault dreamcast!!

[@MyRetroLife]

I tend to agree with this statement...

[@BatsOnSaturn]

​@@MyRetroLifeWe all do Tyler.... we all do..😢😢

[@aceassn716]

Along with Sega of Japan&America at odds.. Genesis wasnt a huge success there as it was in USA, SOJ had the Saturn out quickly, an here in Usa we got the 32X The writing was on the wall considering how they abandoned the Sega Cd as well Nintendo leaving Sony at the altar for Phillips, created their biggest rival Sony even tried to work with Sega an were shunned as well That said 9/9/99 last time I ever bought a launch system, zero regrets Still the best launch lineup of games ever Sonic Adventure SoullllCaliburrrr Nfl 2k HOD2, Crazy Taxi, Blue Stinger, Expendables (best Contra clone) Zombie Revenge vmu useage!

[@Arthur-uu3px]

I think that an even bigger factor was Sega releasing the Sega CD and the 32X, two add-ons for the Genesis/ Mega Drive that in hindsight should have never existed in the first place. Sega should have unified their Western and Eastern sides (something that they were notorious for not being able to do back in the day), and put all of their support behind the Saturn in all regions. I think that would probably have had better results for them instead of trying desperately to extend the lifespan of the Genesis. The Sega CD in particular was almost prohibitively expensive as an add-on since it cost $300.00 in 1991. I strongly believe that the Saturn was a great console that never got the chance that it deserved to thrive in Western markets due to Sega's incompetence at that time.

[@amazingeric97]

Sometimes I feel like Sega gave up on the Dreamcast too early because the system could not compete with the PlayStation 2 long term. Still many people wanted a DVD player & the PlayStation 2 was also a DVD player.

[@PhillipAntoneOMara]

Before the Dreamcast came out, my local Electronics Boutique had a demo of Sonic Adventure running on a tiny monitor in the middle of the store. I took control and played for an hour straight without interruption. I went back each week for a month straight and played. I thought about it every minute of every day, reading all the media I could, pouring over screenshots and reading all the information. That Christmas I got a Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure and I was ecstatic. I didn't get a VMU, so I played the game start to finish a few times until I could finally get a VMU. When I found the Chao garden and the little mini game to take Chao on an adventure, I brought it to school with me and checked on it throughout the day. I love my memories with the Dreamcast.

[@OmarMejiasGamertologist]

The chao garden! I remember taking my VMU to school along with some friends, just so we could train/feed the Chao and then in the afternoon go to any of our respective houses and make them race and stuff.

[@Silem2006]

I have so many memories with this game and the sequel with my cousin. He grew up without his father and I was an only child raised primarily by my dad. I’ve always looked at him as a sort of younger brother and felt some responsibility to help and support him. One of our biggest joys was and is playing video games together. I love him so much to this day and this video brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you for that!

[@stevesharpe3370]

Watching these videos is like taking a walk down memory lane,the footage isn't my life but I can see fragments in there. Great channel keep up the positive vibes Tyler.

[@03chrisv]

I loved my Dreamcast, it was the first console to offer true arcade quality 3D graphics. I was always envious of the arcade as the graphics were always on another level, but once Dreamcast came out I wasn't jealous of the arcade anymore, I could fully enjoy Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead 2, Virtua Fighter 3, Virtual On, etc in the comfort of my owm home and feel like I wasn't missing out by not going to the arcade.

Thanks again for your videos. Nostalgia 😅 at its finest…

Dreamcast was so ahead of its time. I was still on PS1 at the time I couldnt believe the graphics on Dreamcast back then.

[@lynettehoward8542]

I loved this episode. Great new format. Great chemistry. I loved the set up, camera angles, very good quality camera work and editing. Great job! I would love to hear an extended version or an actual podcast where you and friends dive into the games level by level. I’ve also heard it said that when everyone wears headphones, it reduces podcast hosts from interrupting one another. Not interrupting or talking over one another is easier said than done! But I think it’s like anything, the more you podcast and record, the better and better you will get. All in all, wonderful episode!🎉

I woke up this morning and oddly enough the first thing I thought of was is that my dreamcast has been with me almost 25 years. 9/9/99

[@ceppy]

Love the new format Tyler! I never owned a Dreamcast. In 1999 I was fully into PC gaming and kinda neglected my consoles. Something I wished that I hadn't done. The best part is now that I am older and have my own money, I can go back and purchase all of those consoles and games that I neglected back then.

My all-time favorite system. Still own my launch day Dreamcast which is modified with DCDigital and runs like a champ! I remember picking up the system at Babbage's and playing Soul Calibur for what felt like 24 straight hours. I was amazed at the graphical capability. I used to take my system to friends houses and spending HOURS on Marvel vs Capcom, Ready 2 Rumble and House of the Dead. So many memories, such a fantastic system that was both ambitious and and a true example of NEXT GEN for its time. Thanks for another great video!

[@NodnarbTaw]

Oh, Sept 9, 1999 was such a magical day. I was almost 18 years old and saved all summer for the system. I purchased it at my local Electronics Boutique with Sonic adventure, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Blue Stinger, Soul Caliber and extra controller and to vmu memory cards. I think I locked myself in my room for two weeks. Such great memories.

I was way too young to experience Sonic Adventure, like less than a year old when the US version came out and once I finally played it when the DX version was released on the ps3 I was still blown away from the game. Sonic team really put a lot effort making a great impression for the first mainline sonic game to be in 3D along with the game still having my one of my favorite soundtracks in the series. Once in awhile I still reply the game from time to time with the on the steam version with the BetterSADX mod to get the best experience for me. Also, I really like the new podcast format and you guys were super informative to help me understand what's like during time period between the Japanese release of the Dreamcast until Sega pulled the plug in 2001.

[@AJ_hwd954]

Sonic Adventure was the reason I asked for a Dreamcast for Christmas in 99.

[@alecdl98]

I can't even begin to explain how massive of an impact Sonic Adventure has had on my life. There was a Dreamcast demo disc I have from forever ago, and on it was a demo of Sonic Adventure. Emerald Coast was the one and only level for the demo, and I think that's probably the level I connect with the most across all gaming I've ever done. Everything from the visuals to the music to the amazing movement of Sonic in SA1 just feels perfect to me and evokes such a deep emotional feeling that makes me never want to leave that place. I'm still there mentally to this day and every time I get to go into any beachy environment, I hear the Emerald Coast music in my head and I think it's solidified my preference in environments forever. I dont think any game will ever top SA1 for me just from the pure love I have for the game, and the same goes for a lot of Dreamcast games. They all felt like they were somehow connected and had similar vibes even though they were super wacky and very imaginative and different, and in some instances, they did connect with various references and Easter eggs across tons of other Sega games. Gave me a super good nostalgia rush with this one, thank you.

[@StillTheVoid]

The anticipation of the Dreamcast was very well received from our peers back in 1999. It felt exciting as the last months of the century were coming to a close and Sega's attempt to repair their relationship with the U.S and Europe markets. Yet, I somehow never got the URGE to buy one in complete box simply because the retro-community had begun to overprice those games in the mid 2000s and like the Gamecube, I lost my desire to collect its gaming library. Even as a Saturn and Genesis owner, Sega lost its relevancy due to the Saturn's poor sale performance and lack of exposure during the 32-bit era. By the time the dreamcast came around, the n64 and playstation were the dominant players in the console race...and the PS2 was released a year later. The writing was on the wall. How lucky we had it as kids, didn't we? Here's to the greatest childhood of our lives. 🍻🥂

The Dreamcast was when Sega finally got everything right: - console with arcade hardware powering it (perfect arcade ports) -4 controller ports (no need to buy a multitap) -the modem was included in the base purchase (they finally learned that selling certain add-ons separately splinters the userbase) -big lineup of games at launch (there have been plenty of consoles before and since with little to choose from at launch) -competitively priced $199 USD, the Saturn was $399 and the PSX/PS1was $299 before it. -Sonic title at (US)launch (Saturn did not have a main Sonic title). It should have lasted officially more than it did. Unofficially people are still making games for it.
