The 3DO was one of the most hyped consoles of the 90s. It received a large amount of attention from the mainstream media, financial investors, and gamers alike. When released, it was considered an incredibly powerful and impressive system. So why did it have such a short run and why did the 3DO Company fail. In this video we're going to look at how the founder EA teamed with the co creators of the original Amiga computer and Atari lynx to create one of the most anticipated pieces of gaming hardware from the 90s… only to see it fail to capture the market that seemed to covet it. This is the story of the 3DO. Partial list of sources at the end of description.

This video covers the overall story of how the 3DO came about, failed, and the people behind it. This video doesn’t quite cover everything regarding the 3DO. For example, I didn’t dive into the Sanyo 3DO model, AT&T’s 3DO prototype, or the European and Japanese launches. If you want to learn more about the 3DO I added some of my sources to the end of the description of the video. I almost broke this video up into two parts since it’s a bit longer than what I prefer my videos to be. There’ just so much information out there about the 3DO. Also, I know some people may feel like it’s unfair to concentrate so much on the 3DO not being able to compete with the Playstation and not really discuss the Saturn as much. I chose to concentrate more on the Playstation since it did so well and even Trip Hawkins feels like the Playstation is ultimately what finished off the 3DO. I try to make my videos as accurate as possible but I’m only human. If you have any corrections please let me know and I’ll be happy to look into it. Well, maybe not happy, haha, but I’ll look into it and issue a correction if needed 😊

Wrestling With Gaming only just last 2 years I picked up a 3DO at my local retro gaming store. Great decision so far I've collected 9 games I love the port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Easily the best version of the soundtrack for that game. Also a big fan of Dragon's Lair. Indeed this is a very underrated console the labrys actually really nice. 😍 I appreciate this informative video I'm glad I watched it I've learned a lot more of the backstory of the console now. Awesome job subscribing to you now I appreciate the work you put into videos like this. 👍

Arcade perfect Super Streetfighter, arcade perfect Samurai Showdown, Way of the Warrior had crazy fatalaties and was set to White Zombie music, Twisted was fun, Gex was good, and if you put a CD in it to play music it would make the craziest trippy designs on the screen with box that would bounce up and down to the beat of the music....waaay better than even the PS1 or PS2 did years later.

3DO gives me more nostalgia then any other system, It was my first system that I felt like I owned and my dad bought it for me for helping him with odd jobs. We didn't have much money so I got it right as it went suuuper cheap. But it was awesome because I was able to buy games for $10-20 a pop. I had ALMOST the entire collection. Like an idiot I threw away all the boxes and opted for a huge CD case...ugh. Then like a bigger idiot I gave the system to my girlfriends brothers after I got a PlayStation. Two years ago I noticed I was friends with one of the brothers on Facebook, they grew up. I ask them on a whim if they still had the 3DO I gave them and since my dad had passed and it was our favorite system to play, my dad live Madd Dog shooting game :P Well, sure enough they did and it still worked :D my copy of Super Street Fighter Turbo was in the system and the 3DO I had when I teen I got back :)

It does make me wonder what Trip Hawkins was thinking by the pricing they had. It's like he purposely only wanted to sell to a very small niche market, yet he himself wrote the book on how you don't segregate like that and expect to cash in big time. Failed at taking his own advice.

Great video! I attended three CESs, two being in this video, and I was completely behind Trip & the 3DO. Bought one the day it was released from a Silo store (kinda like Best Buy), as did my friend. Crash & Burn had goofy acting with people in costumes, but the sense of speed from the game was unseen before then. We both had FAR too many games, Gex and Way of the Warrior being amongst my favorites. I eventually gave up & bought a Playstation, but I hung onto my 3DO games and even bought a Goldstar version before they completely died. Wasn't as good as Panasonic's, though!

Good overview of the 3DO. I remember being so hyped as a 5-year-old and seeing the discussion and proposals for the 3DO. Then I learned about the price...at the time our family was poor. We had trouble getting used games for our hand-me-down NES. There was no way we were buying a $700 console. Looking back, I know we wouldn't have bought it if it were $300...but still. That price tag was truly killer...like Pioneer Laseractive or Neo Geo AES killer...more systems whose high price tags guaranteed them niche status or outright failure.

Another case where the developer failed to deliver the holy trinity of video games: 1- Software Support 2- Cheap console price tag 3- Hardware power to run the envisioned games of the developers. 3do failed on the itens 1 and 2 at first, which was better than Atari Jaguar that totally screwed all of the 3 rules.

Agreed. I think the major downfall was the second point. The paradigm that seems to consistently work is to sell the console at a loss and expect to make it back with the games. So outsourcing the manufacturing and expecting a profit off of it was what killed them in my mind.

Growing up poor and still having an NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, and PS1 but not hearing much about the 3DO - you knew there was something wrong with it. Why? Because it was always more expensive than the "cool" systems like SNES and PS1. It was simply much too expensive with no brand name to it - Panasonic VS. Sony? Take a poll and I'll guarantee it's Sony every time even to this day.

My best friend had a 3DO when it launched, and we honestly had a good time with it. It wasn't better than the SNES or Genesis, but we mostly liked it more than the Sega CD, and it got about as much playtime from us as the Saturn. We really loved Road Rash on it. It looked and played much better than any other version.

In my opinion the biggest issue with 3do was the controller, it being way worse than the Sony version. Load times were garbage too.

I'd be curious to know how much the design and capabilities of the 3DO influenced the design of the PlayStation, if at all. The consoles seem very similar in what they can do. The main difference I've seen is the 3DO seems to run 3D games at about half the speed of the PSX. Still a fascinating console and an interesting part of gaming history.

I was born the year the 3DO was released. I'm definitely into retro gaming and the 3DOs story struck a chord with me. It's very sad in a way. It seems like some folks took a gamble on full motion video titles and lost everything. If the system had been very cheap with a similar royalty structure to other systems I think there would have been a real chance it would have worked out. Oh and a better launch event. Someone commented that with inflation the system would cost around 1200 in 2017. You flew to close to the sun, 3do. RIP. P.S. I'd really like maybe just one more halfway decent army men game.

I think it costed 500 Euros (1000 German marks) at the time. 3DO should first ask the people how much they want to spent on a console and try to make the console for this price.

I bought it on day 1 and loved it. I sold at least 500 of them myself when working at Software Etc.. This console had the very first near-perfect version of Dragon's Lair ever available for the home console, which blew my mind. The issue was the number of titles over the first year or so. That really killed it from the start because of the price tag associated with the system. It took a few years to really start pumping out games, which was just too late and the controller was one of the worst ever made for a home system. You couldn't easily pull-off moves on fighting games like Way of the Warrior and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, which was extremely frustrating. But man, the early years had some games that were just ahead of the time and blew you away when you got into them. It's a shame that they simply ended up paving the way for consoles like Playstation, but I'll always love my years with my 3DO and still have my original :)
