I remember that “Fish Life” is in the city hospital especially for Children, And I was really enjoying to play that game too, but last time I went, there's no footprint to be seen. After that day, I've been curious about what that thing even was, like name of it or how does it work. And now, I'm an adult who casually watching these kind of English documentation vids even I'm japanese. This vids comes through my reccomendation, so I click on it if it'll fill my freetimes, or giving me some nicey information. THEN, all of sudden, my childhood game that I don't know much about is showing up, and I made happy screem when I see it. So in conclusion, I finally know what it was, and it makes me really happy because I really want to know, and it gives me a lot of nostalgic facters. If you and this vid doesn't exists, maybe I won't know. So thanks a lot, Cybershell.
I searched some footages, and every single one of them are using really small monitor. What I remember, it has big display(which makes sense because Hospital is for children, so using big display can make some amount of children interact at same time) Soo maybe there's slightly variation of display , or Hospital uses other display that have function of touching.
@@1Carton sure but it's also kind of the generic "woke" predictions you see all the time. "The internet will take over society and nobody will remember how to do anything for themselves!" kind of thing.
@@Felixman128 It starts out like that but it soon goes into this very meta "oh _surely_ humans won't be bound by race or gender when interacting online". That's the part of the prediction that's accurate.
I don’t think having the manager of Sega in Shenmue sitting in front of a pile of unsold Dreamcasts had the message they were going for in the long run
I see what you are saying but in context, from my understanding the initial stock of Dreamcast consoles selling out in Japan was also seen as a huge failure on Sega's part to compete in the console market. The image of Hidekazu Yukawa waking up in a room filed with stock was a minor attempt to bolster confidence and image. The man really tried to keep Sega on top.
I was loving that this was partially a Seaman video in disguise but I was just in hysterics when suddenly we were diving into detail about the car paint. Incredible video.
@@Nebnub imagine telling someone their donation was done improperly and wasn't enough... I'm sure cybershell is totally happy with whatever people feel comfortable with giving. You don't have to donation shame his fans.
Now I want, nay, NEED, a full Cybershell Seaman deep dive video. Also I love console variants but I've never actually looked very deeply into Dreamcast variations (even though I own a Dreamcast - a european one, so I guess technically it's a variant?), so this was really interesting. 40 minute Cybershell videos always hit.
@@enjoyerofcake2123 How wrong you are... Seaman goes deeper than you could ever imagine. Besides, Cybershell literally said there's a lot more to talk about but he didn't because it was getting too off-topic for this video.
@Alex rousak This guy could talk about paper towels for an hour and it'd still be interesting. Just the thought of Cybershell making a 10 minutes Seaman video is mind orgasmic.
US game competitions: "Whoever finds this hidden riddle fast enough gets 10 thousands dollars" Japan game competitions: " Find these 6 posters and you get a 3 dollar coupon :) "

PLEASE! I have searched and searched for more information on Seaman 2 but this video is the most that I've ever seen on the English-speaking web. I have always been insanely curious about Seaman 2 to the point of seriously contemplating learning Japanese just to experience it .. that's the kind of impact left on me by Seaman 1.
this video is just unfiltered rambling about someone's love for the dreamcast and the weird obscure bullshit on and around it. This is pure joy to watch
The Dreamcast experience in Japan reminds me of that year when I didn't have a laptop and had to use my Wii for web browsing and RU-vid. Honestly relatively comfy. Dreamcast probably felt much the same way in 1999 with its "computer mini" aspects.
What i wouldn't give to experience the dreamcast in Japan in it's hay day. Man it seems so cool and surreal to think that this console could do just so much stuff way back in 99
This was how I was with my PSP for about two years. Had no laptop, and limited access to the family PC. So for anything personal or to muck around online, I used the PSP's internet function. It was a real novelty to me, having never had a laptop and smartphones being far too expensive at the time.
The browser was very short on features and many sites didn't load and those that did were not displayed properly. Plus if you didn't have the mouse and keyboard it was pretty difficult to navigate. It was still pretty cool to access the internet on your tv with a dreamcast even if it wasn't the best experience.
Seaman didn't account for centralized platforms driven by #engagement overtaking everything else because it's ever so slightly easier and cheaper for the user and more profitable for advertising customers
i mean if you think about it its working? kinda? like more people know about minorities than ever and it seems like more effort is being put into helping them than like,, in forever. like before the internet, there werent a lot of ways to communicate with people over the world effectively, but now with the internet, you can just straight up type in a few words and learn a lot about people on the opposite side of the earth. of course there will be biases but like,,, ngl i blame most of that on corporations feeding us info that they know we'll consume **cough cough** twitter, instagram, youtube, etc etc.. sorry if i went on a bit of a tangent btw, i am passionate about this subject lmao
Man. I was such a dumbass. When I was little we had 3 dreamcasts. It was my first console, and when SEGA was selling them so cheap my parents bought extras. So we had 2 brand new Dreamcasts in the box, but my dumbass opened both of them when I was like 8 or 9 because I wanted to see them and use a new one just because. Man I could have had a valuable console. Oh well. Still got it ;3
Man brand new dreamcasts were still selling for less than $100 on eBay as recently as 2009. Wish I could go back in time and buy them up. I was 12 at the time
Tom from The Dreamcast Junkyard here. Great video, and thanks for the shoutout - lots of research went into everything referenced in this video so it's very decent of you to cite sources. 'Subbed' as the kids say these days :D
The Swatch Group does not own the Dreamcast Swatch console. I was able to talk to the company archivist. They only have contracts between Sega and Swatch. Currently, nobody knows where it is
Cybershell is one of the few people on the internet that gets me hyped for a 40min video about the rarest form of a console I never had or played. Edit: I want a Dreamcast now lol
@gn@z Dreamcast has shit copyright protection so there's no modding required. Just burn some games onto some CDR's, pop them into the console, and play. Shit you not, it's that easy. That's how I played illbleed.
@gn@z no need for modding really unless you want HDMI output in the thing. I got a Japanese Dreamcast and my entire collection is American games on burned CDs, never ran into trouble doing that
25:15 I zoned out while you were talking about Seaman and suddenly you started talking about the properties of microscopic paint fibers and reflectivity of certain paint properties like you've been in the field of chemistry for 40 years. I'm half convinced it was nonsense that doesn't mean anything but thank you for the retention check. Never change, Cybershill.
@@thatguymatt5816he literally calls himself that and it just means you're a sellout. Something cybershell is the opposite of which is what makes it funny
Yeah, kinda wish it actually played out like that. But no, Humans gotta cling onto their group identities like their lives depend on it, so here we are on an internet where the validity of your opinion gets determined based on the contents of a profile picture and self proclaimed group identity. :-/
@@Lulu_Lime I mean, a lot of first world problems internet wars you and I see are exactly about that. You even emphasised his point by grouping him based on his subscription to a RU-vid channel.
@@Lulu_Lime Did I bring up my politics? No, you did. Because you're exactly the kind of person I was referring to. Round of applause, really. I didn't think it was possible to lack self awareness to such an extent. Really embodying that NPC stereotype. Good job. 👏👏👏👏
The mazora and the Sonic 10th Anniversary are the ones that I liked the most on the list. I've never owned a Dreamcast, but it's a very interesting console
Something about the way Cybershell can just effortlessly spout off highly technical jargon in a semi-condescending but clearly joking manner without a break in speech is eternally hilarious. That bit about the chromaflair deep dive had me laughing the hardest I have in months.
To me what's crazy about Seaman is that the voice actor of the aforementioned creature is the same as the protagonist Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition, and you can't stop thinking about the similarities between Seaman speaking to the player vs. York talking about movies to Zach when they are alone (and he also did E-123 Omega's voice in Shadow the Hedgehog)
Fun fact: A choice few weapons in Phantasy Star Online had abilities dependent on the internet beat time. So kid me playing with the Heaven Striker gun learned the basic beat time idea so that I knew when my lasers from above special attack was active.
@@manjackson2772 Technically there were three with the heavenly beam attacks. Heaven Punisher (the only one on the Dreamcast version fwiw) and two added in blue burst: the heaven striker and a combined mechgun using the OG Punisher called the Mille Marteaux.
the "what you think itd be a gold dreamcast" leading into you saying imagine if someone actually ended a top 10 list like that had me laughing, then the cut to the gold dreamcast had me howling of laughter dude shit was gold. then the outro saying "i could really tie this together with a bow on top cohesively. so i decided not to do that. bye!" had me fucking laughing as well. good shit. you got hearty laughs out of me man
I remember some gaming magazine sweepstakes contest where you could win the final console ever produced, signed by the entire dreamcast team, and it came with all accessories and games ever made for it. Seemed pretty cool
This video includes a nearly complete oral history of the Seaman franchise, a description of a long-forgotten method of timekeeping, an explanation of the physics of iridescent materials, and a mention of a Japanese health insurance company. And it includes some sick fucking dreamcasts
I would LOVE a more in-depth look at Seaman PS2 and Seaman 2. I’ve literally never heard of any of that stuff before this. By the way, another great video! I was just re-watching your Tails Gets Trolled video and I still love that and whatever you put out really
Expecting a fairly straightforward and interesting video and getting pummeled with lore and tons of additional information is the classic cybershell experience
When it was released it felt that everyone had a Dreamcast at least in my school so I was really surprised that it was discontinued. It didn't feel like the Saturn where I was the only one who had it.
Kids will ask their parents for whatever console all their friends have. Once a couple people buy one all their friends will want the same one. Where I grew up everyone had a PS2 and then everyone had an Xbox 360. I think I knew one single kid that had an original Xbox, not one person had a Dreamcast or Gamecube and when everyone moved to the Xbox 360 there were two kids in the whole town that had a PS3 instead.
Oh wow, as you were describing the swatch thing and the beat timing method I realized it sounded similar to what pso's timer worked under, and then you mentioned pso and I felt so vindicated. One of those things I wondered about for years but always forgot to look up. Great video!
Seaman was actually very known around the time it was new from what I recall, I think it was just buried and forgotten fairly quickly. But I got a free demo on an ODCM disk of it and the most popular websites were giving it plenty of coverage and it was talked about plenty on message boards at the time. 12:59 Predictive programming?(the next minute and a half or so)
My favorites are the transparent Dreamcast. I always enjoyed the Early 2000s tech design. It's surprising just how many versions of the Dreamcast are out there. Sega really wanted the console to be used by everyone.
27:40 The game itself IS cool. I'm not even that big of a Gundam fan and it's easily one of my Top 5 Dreamcast favorites right next to Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. It's an arena shooter fair with loadouts based on the model mech chosen, and it gives you LOTS of control over the difficulty alongside it's own auto-balancer so you can find a spot where you're having fun no matter what you choose, even if you pick a the infamous BALL.
Isn't it just the DC version of the PS2 game called Federation vs Zeon? I would love to see a new Gundam game with a campaign like FvZ that played similarly but with a larger scale than just 4 units. The sequel to that game Gundam vs Zeta Gundam is hella good too.
@FiveByFive The interface and gameplay are identical to FvZ, so I'd assume they are basically the same game (Maybe just the arcade mode only). I prefered the campaign in FvZ over GvZ, but the variety of suits was really nice. I'd LOVE a full Universal Century version, especially with some suits from other timelines added in and some GvZ style what-if timelines too. While Gundam Crossfire was awful, it was the fun kind of awful. Something like that but large scale and actually finished would be awesome. I've also been dreaming of a Star wars Battlefront 2 (The real one) kind of game with the various classes being the various mobile suits.
That jerma clip where the seaman spills the beans on Jeremy saying he is insecure about his height will always live rent free in my head I love these times of videos. Keep on being epic cyber man
Hey, I have the first Dreamcast you mention! I got my Sega Sports edition of the console from a flea market. It was originally selling for $20, no controller, no memory thingy, no games. I was really interested in it because I'd never encountered a black one before. One of the vendors for the table the console was on asked if I was interested. I explained I wanted the console, but didn't have anymore cash on me (it was true, pretty sure she watched me buy a pretty wall fan next-door). She asked me to wait a second since it was her son's. She went and talked to him and after a second they both came back. After looking at which console I was interested in, and looking at me, he told me I could just have it. He used to play the console every day, but after a while he didn't have time to play it anymore and long before sold off the game collection for it. He said he was just happy it was going to someone who knew what it was and seemed to really want it. I have been loving it for over a decade now myself, and it's still an active device on my entertainment center.
I've actually seen a car with that type of chroma paint in real life that was parked around the place that I was having a jog during the summer, and I gotta say, that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. You have to physically see it for yourself to get the full picture but the car would completely change colors from purple to green depending on what angle I was looking at it from. So yeah, 10/10 paintjob would look at again
I actually worked with Nippon and even maziora paint when I first started tinkering with guitars in the early 2000s. A longtime colleague and friend is one of the most prolific finishing experts.... known the world over for his work with musical instruments. I've seen and work with all kinds of crazy stuff thanks to the access and NeverEnding assortments of things he works with and is exposed to. Also run across all kinds of weird and interesting things like that at The NAMM show every year. I have always focused predominantly on vintage reproduction instruments because that's what appealed to me most. I mean I still do work with electric guitars and things but usually they're more of your classic timeless and famous designs. A good 90% of my orders consisted of vintage reproductions and things like that. And I was always a few years behind on orders... And at least for me personally it work best if I only took orders for designs that I appreciated or was interested in exploring. But every now and then something different would come along that sounded interesting and appealing enough that I would take the job. And that's predominantly when I worked with new and interesting materials and finishes.
I had no idea there was a Seaman 2. Or that the Ps2 version was different. Not sure why I found that so interesting but, always nice to find out something new when it comes to games.
Oh sweet a cybershell video. Dreamcast has the least amount of blue sphere out of all the Sega consoles. It wouldve been cool if blue sphere was on dreamcast. Oh well I'm sticking with the new sequel to the blue sphere game in sonic orgins. I've never thought there would be a true sequel to blue sphere, I'm so happy. Which is why I'm showing myself to the public.🔵
Never realised they tried so hard to put this amazing console out there, it deserved so much better! In Europe it was gone so quickly, i was the only one of my friends that had one and rarely have heard other people talking about it. Luckily it still has a great second life now with collectors and enthusiasts.
I bought mine from a store when they took apart the demo stand it had been in, they used the Japanese version, and sold games too. I only ever had one game for it that I forget the name of now(blue something), 3rd person, fighting some weird kind of mutants or monsters. I lived in Italy at the time, I had been busy working and had no internet but I think I bought it basically when it had flopped, not sure. Brought back memories.
Sega really was ahead of it's time. It's a shame it's console venture died with the dreamcast. On another note, I'm totally down if you wanna make more obscure sega lore videos! I was fascinated by the seaman lore as well as the non-gaming components.
shame that they had to fumble so much before they actually got their footing. Makes you wonder what would've been had SEGA not been so emotional back in the 90s.
I LOVE when Cybershell goes deep into the most obscure videogame related stuff, I sincerely wouldn't mind if he just talked about games noone heard about just in general
I have a Sega Sports Dreamcast. Dad apparently picked it up at Best Buy in the late 90s, played Resident Evil Code Veronica, House of the Dead, and I think, like, Sonic's story in Sonic Adventure and then just kinda forgot about it for a decade or so. I was like 5 at this point in time and he and my mom were trying to find more games for me to play on our PS2 but they ended up just finding that Dreamcast stored away so they let me play Sonic on it. No, they didn't let me play any of the other games. This was the origin story of what sparked my Sonic autism storm. It's really cool though, I think iirc I also still have all of the stuff that came with it, (including the other games I mentioned too) like the cool internet discs I used to mess around with when I was 11, and some of the Sega Sports games (because, well, it's a Sega Sports variant) on top of like, two of these cool demo discs that had a bunch of Dreamcast demos on them, Sonic being one of them. The memory cards are easily the most fascinating things ever to me. Like, the Dreamcast has to be my favorite console ever. Those shits would keep me entertained for hours. It's so retardedly simple but fascinating cuz its like a literal gameboy that comes with your system and you can put chao on it and it makes you ask yourself like "why the fuck am I so horny all of the sudden?" if you get what I mean. I even begged my dad to give me another one (was like, a transparent blue color) after buying me a copy of SA2 on it (even though I already had it on Gamecube, I just wanted it to see the differences or something I think. Idk I was like 8 or 9) just so I could have the satisfaction of transferring chao between Adventure 1 and 2 for no fucking reason other than to say I did it. It was the most proud accomplishment I had ever felt by that point, and I made sure to tell EVERYONE, including my parents, family members, teachers even, but nobody had any idea what the flying fuck I was talking about. It was like when I complained about SADX's existence after I found out about it through watching a lot of Sonic RU-vid videos and then just seeing Sonic Adventure but... DIFFERENT, and it just made me so fucking mad because it wasn't the Sonic in MY Sonic Adventure and I ALSO complained about that to everyone and they also had no idea what the fuck I was talking about. Absolutely infuriating. HOW COULD THEY? Though think of that from the perspective of an elderly adult meeting a very young redheaded, maybe like 6 or 7 year old girl, the daughter of your friends who they hyped up so much as this creative and insightful child and you apparently are taken away by her "doll-like appearance" (I'm not shitting you that's actually what I've been told before) and you expect her to be into like, stereotypical little girl shit, try TALKING about it with her, trying to connect to her, you want to hear what this supposedly "creative and insightful" little girl has to say and then she just has an autistic fit about Sonic the Hedgehog and the SEGA Dreamcast and will ramble on about it for hours straight and you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're listening to. Like, blue hedgehog? SEGA? Dreamcast? This is all just completely foreign to you and it sounds like an absolute fever dream. All I'm saying is never underestimate a prepubescent autistic sonic fan's ability to make you completely derealize within an hour or two. No one understands me. This is one of they everyday struggle gamers face and it's honestly devastating.
not a single other channel's uploads get me as excited as these. redlettermedia is close but its so consistent i can sort of take it for granted. every cybershell upload is a blessing. i hope you dont trick yourself into thinking you dont have enough to say about seaman to make a whole video about it after this, i would love to hear you point out random shit about it that i already know
If I’ve taken away something from this video, it’s that Shenmue and the Dreamcast really did share the same issue that led to their failure. Too much ambition. Everything you talked about here sounds incredible and really forward thinking, but considering Sega had so much going on the time and tons of their money and resources were being drained like a waterfall, it was all too much at once over the course of 3 short years. It’s a real shame because had it all succeeded, we could have a very different tech landscape than the one we have now.
No, it was simply due to Sony being the evil Sony they are, and putting the entire Dreamcast game library online overnight and posting links to it everywhere so nobody would buy or release Dreamcast games anymore. They did this because they were releasing PS2 soon, which ended up being even crappier than Dreamcast even though it came out 1 year after
36:52 fun fact this version of Sonic Adventure shown here is not well documented. It has a unique title screen and emerald coast ends in the middle of the stage. Very bizarre hopefully it's found some day.
I remember on my video game design class we had to do presentations on consoles, and 2 people got the saturn, so when they presented the saturn they started with "Hey guys today we're gonna be looking at garbage"
1. Didn't know the gold DC was that rare. 2. I definitely know where one resides. 3. It's mine. 4. It's not in the state where I live. 5. I am getting extreme anxiety as I search for airline tickets and call my mom and tell her to get it out of the storage unit asap.
@the_representative yeah, I found it and tried to sell it but nobody made a good offer. I'm not in a situation where $15-20k is big money. So I'm just gonna hold onto it. It makes a nice shelf piece next to the saturn I transplanted into a clear acrylic project box.
That dreamcastgallery site can be found on the internet archive as late as 2009. Do note that both contacts used by the site creator are defunct (ebay no longer lets you search by username, and business-bytes was a flash-based site from 2003 that seems to be completely gone)
Man, Seaman was based as hell what the heck, I’ve had the disc forever but I need the mic and that clip is what is finally going to push me over the edge into buying it.
I'll always wonder what happened to the Dreamcast DVD Player shown off at E3 2000 and then never again (or if the rumors that the unit shown off was just a big plastic shell were true)
Well, I started watching this video unsure what to expect, but I certainly wasn't ready for a lesson in how peacock feathers work. Edit: it's now several minutes later and I'm learning about a Swiss company's failed attempt at destroying time as we know it. It's been a wild ride.
Back when I was little (around the mid-late 2000's), I never heard of a Dreamcast, hell, never knew that SEGA was at one point a hardware developer. So any time I grabbed a magazine after grocery shopping, I always pondered what that swirl was, what console did it represent. A few years later I found out and I started to REALLY get into it, I was SO into it that for my 13th? birthday, all I asked was a Dreamcast, so that I could experience it myself. My parents found a person who had a Dreamcast with a Dreamcast bag and a copy of SoulCaliber in it and Toy Commander along with some other games. Years later, Dreamcast still kicks ass.
