The Wacky World of Rare Dreamcasts 

Maybe the real wacky world was the Dreams we cast in our mind

I like how he pretty much gave up on the ratings towards the end.

The PS5 has been in back order almost as long as the dream cast was in production

The fact that Sega started making Dreamcasts as a promo item for companies that really had little to do with gaming in general just shows how screwed Sega was in the console market at that time. No wonder the Dreamcast was their last one. I know there's a lot of other reasons for Segas demise, but at the same time damn. :/

Judging by the name and colors, the RX-78 Dreamcast has to be based off the RX-78-2 Gundam aka the original iconic Gundam.

If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from all these videos is that if you want a cool console variation of a non Microsoft console you have to live in Japan.

Limp Bizkit had some sort of promotion with Sega and there was an ad for the online service that had Fred Durst and was like "If you ever get your ass kicked, it was me on the other end of the line." So I suppose that can be official enough.

9:22 This era of mobile gaming is actually very interesting. You could even earn a Dreamcast from it at the time but right now it is the abandonedest of the abandonware. Nobody cared for some reason. I sometimes wish one day, some people from telecommunication companies just find all these games sitting on a disk or something in somewhere and release them on the internet.

That last Dreamcast looks like a case swap. During the last year of the Dreamcasts life there were alternate cases available in several colors. I believe there might still be a few floating around. The idea was you would take your internals, swap them into the new case, and if you wanted too add LEDs or stickers for a custom look.

The RX-78 Dreamcast is meant to be a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam. To be specific, the OG RX-78-2 that the main character pilots. But, I can see where you thought it resembled Sonic.

You can buy translucent replacement shells now for around $70-120. They even make replicas of the Resident Evil versions. I've bought a few, they are high quality and worth the money.

It's official: Limp Bizkit is now part of the SEGA lore.

I remember going to a Limp Bizkit concert 22? years ago (Godsmack and DMX were also there. 🤘) and for some reason, they hyped the hell out of Ultimate Fighting Championship for the Dreamcast right before Limp Bizkit came on. Being a Dreamcast fanatic at the time (still am really) I found this to be the highlight of the evening seeing as how the only group I liked was Godsmack. Anyway, word on the street was that Limp Bizkit had a habit of putting on poor performances and walking off. Which I thought it was people making stuff up. And I'll be damned if Fred Durst threw a fit and quit the set like 4 songs in and nearly started a riot. Guess people weren't mangling each other in the mosh pit enough for his liking. lol. Now I'm nearly 40. Getting old is fun.

Man, was my dad confident this was gonna be the next big thing that one Christmas it was out

Truly, the best premium exclusive series on RU-vid right now. Also, why is Knowledge Hub now called KnowledgeHusk?

this cast is dreamy

Naming a console for use in pachinko parlors as regulation 7 is like naming a new brand of vaping pens "surgeon general" or what have you.

Nick Offerman narrating a video about Dreamcasts is something I didn’t know I wanted until I had it

I proudly own a brand new never opened Super Black Dreamcast...according to some sources it's possible there were only 200 ever made! Why something as simple as a slick all-black Dreamcast was made with such insanely low numbers is odd I am not complaining 😎

Love your videos man. I enjoy how you just trail off towards the end. I'd say it's your staple quality. 1 Fred out of Durst. 👏

I'm starting to get into console repair and console reselling as a business so your vids definetly help me out on finding the good finds.

I could never get tired of seeing these. Awesome vid!!

I've never wanted a console more than I want that Fred Durst Dreamcast.

The blue one at end is a reproduction shell and is custom. You can buy reproduction shells of clear colours online .

Love these videos man, keep it up!!!!

LESS GO i have been waiting for this video :DD thanks for making it

Love the videos man, keep up the good work!

Man: oh dreamcast you where to beautiful for this world Dreamcast: (disc grinding noises)

The Dreamcasts signed by Fred Durst makes that one quip from the Sonic 2 movie even funnier.

The RX-78 Dreamcast is a reference to Amuro's mobile suit in Gundam 79 so I'd give it a 5/5 personally. Also the fact it's so rare is depressing.

I used to harass my parents and grandparents to go shopping at Toys R Us just so that I could play on the Dreamcast display they had there. They had four consoles set up in a circle around a table with big CRT's hanging from the ceiling for each console and sometimes they even had a four-player game with all the consoles connected together. It was pretty sweet. I just liked playing Sonic. It's also the place where I got my crystal clear DMG Gameboy starter kit for Christmas, and then where I got Pokemon Red for another Christmas... Good times

10:10 RX-78 is a mobile suit (a giant robot) from the Gundam series, and this edition has its color scheme :)

The greatest video game console of all time.

Still have my Sega Dreamcast. It still works and I play it all the time.

Been waiting for this one for time

Hey nice vid! Also, thanks for the credit for that tiny bit of footage, decent of you. I'd have commented sooner but honestly had no idea, just by chance I decided to Google my user name and this video was one of the first things that popped up, glad it did! Subbed.

i love how your cat just lifts it's arm

Adam Koralik has a lot of content covering these. Always find it fascinating how long this consoles interest has lingered. I know I still have a few modded in storage. I’ll probably keep one for a time but the rest is going once I dig it all out. The divers unit is based off a character from the rhythm game with the La La chick. Thanks for the chuck mangione from King of the Hill clip. Hadn’t thought of the feel so good song in a while. I’m so baked.

Surprised that there were only 50,000 or so of the Sports variant. I used to run a game store, and while those weren't very common, we did see a fair number of them.

Thanks for making this video for me! :V

This sure is one wacky world.

Ive been wanting to purchase a dreamcast, definitely gonna skip the variants and buy the generic version. Very interesting to watch, keep it up!

Best part too, you only covered about 2/3 of the variations that were released. There were *A LOT*

These videos and Whimsu's voice/way of talking are so entertaining to me. Call it my comfort food, if you will.

Finally a video on the Dreamcast. You'll have fun doing the Saturn, I guarantee it

This video is absolutely excellent

Its midnight and i should go to sleep for work in the morning, but nah new Tyler video on the different versions intricacies of a plastic video game box made almost a quarter century ago. Yes, my brain must have this knowledge!

I remember there was a poster up in my school's library for a chance to win a Dreamcast. It had been put up a couple years before I came, and it was still there for the 6 years before I left in 2007. Knowing my school it probably stayed up for another 5 years+.

One of the few RU-vid videos to actually make me laugh out loud

I used to have the _sega sports_ black dreamcast up until the controller ports gave out, I honestly wished I kept it for historical purposes

Can't wait for the dev kit reviews

Omg the Sonic animations you did near the end killed me

Had a dreamcast as a kid and loved the game Jet Set Radio. Seeing the Jet Set painted dreamcast was really cool.

"I'll give it a Fred out of Durst." LMFAO!!

I want a Limp Bizkit Dreamcast so bad I am actually considering bringing one to a Limp Bizkit concert next month just to get the band to sign it

Cool fact: sega net keyboards were repurposed as dreamcast keyboards by just putting a dreamcast sticker over the sega net sticker. I know this bc my sticker peeled up and there is a sega net sticker

And with that, the 6th gen of home consoles are complete. Where will we go next? Handhelds? 7th Gen? 5th Gen? Only time will tell.

I have a pearl blue that my gf got me for my birthday. At first I thought it was neat, and then I checked how many were made. So uh, thanks!

Nice and informative. Good video. I will say that it was very annoying having these pointless star ratings after describing them though.

Considering the existence of a "spiral sticker" in _SoulCalibur VI,_ I've the sudden urge to create a Dreamcast version of Segata Sanshiro. 😏

I love your stuff, no idea what to do with all the useless infromation but I still love no matter what.

thank you for informing the masses that a chu chu rocket dreamcast exists, very cool of you

That pink Sakura Wars dreamcast probably has it's own vaporwave album. Mad vibes in Toki Mem's Fire Embling cousin sim.

I have an R7 dreamcast in box that I picked up when I visited Japan in 2018. Didn't know there were only 2000 made! It'll be worth keeping that in mint condition I think!

Maybe the rare finds in life are the friends we made along the way ?

I wasn't expecting my small town Toyota dealership to make a cameo. :O

Please do one of these types of videos about the N64, I know there were a tonne of special edition variants of it as well as special edition controllers and accessories, so it'd make for a very interesting video

Have you ever done a Gameboy Colour episode? Would be intrigued to see how many other variations there were!

Wish I never sold my Dreamcast & pawned my games for $50... The machine stopped working one day & this was teenage me, pre-internet & being able to fix devices.

that Black and Silver DC was sick

Divers 2000 has to be my favourite, that thing looks absolutely magical. I'd love to own it some day.

Love how the scale went from accurate to who gives a in one video.

I had the black Dreamcast, it's pretty cool.

Fun fact: Irimajiri was a huge figure at Honda Motor. He is the most responsible for Honda's success in the United States. When he returned to Honda Japan after a long time in the United States, he felt disillusioned, and eventually went over to Sega.

This is comfort content

im sooooo happy you did this~! My fav console ever was teh dc/ I miss my modding days back then. I really loved creating new hardware mods and visual upgrades like the led mods and such. the emulators were epic. you could burn a disc and play nes, snes and more plus ps1 games too

Thank you for this! your vids are amazing humor is just to relatable...I really needed it!

I love the Code Veronica console. I bought a CV replica shell for my Dreamcast. Now I just need the red controller and gray vmu

Im sporting my pink hello kitty one. I love the pink console next to my teal Retron 5 and silver gamecube. Its almost like a retrowave color scheme game shelf

Yay new Whimsu video :D

This is my favorite console of all time. The rental console was $99.00 in hastings entertainment where I lived

Dreamcast lives on man. It’s still thinking

I miss my Dreamcast. Back in the day I had the mouse, keyboard, and was signed up with the internet service through the console. Kinda cool.

Beautiful. I'm in TEARS

Black actually looks great on DC and makes so much sense, but does somehow seem less early-2000s-y.

the gameboy line has some pretty crazy ones

I blame the Gameboy for all of this madness. lol digging these videos

i have no interest in any of the consols or anything you make videos about but you are hella cool so i soak it up ! good man!!

My guy is tired But dang there’s a lot of dreamcasts, if I was a Dreamcast collector idk which one I would even want, I feel like the ammount of options almost makes them less rare like “oh it’s just another limited edition Dreamcast”

Like the vids man

I have the tank top from the sports edition. Found it at a goodwill.

I got the Sega Sports edition. Found it in the trash. Someone was throwing out their collection. Sadly, if there were any games/controllers/other accessories they tossed prior, the garbage trucks came RIGHT before they dropped off all their consoles at the public bin.

this is exactly what i need rn 🙏

10:11 - It's *probably* supposed to be Mobile Suit Gundam themed, as a tie-in to the Federation vs. Zeon arcade game whose home port originally came out first on the DC, but it lacks any sort of labeling to indicate such. No Gundam head decal, no Earth Federation logo, just a Dreamcast in Gundam colors.

The Dreamcast was such a beautiful thing, really was one of the coolest consoles ever made and so ahead of the times. And that controller thing? Makes my bоner for obsolete tech, rock hard. Such a shame there was never a sequel. The 90s were the peak of corporate creativity.

I can't wait for the Wacy World of Rare Nintendo 64s next.

That chameleon paint dreamcast is badass

I died when he made a double take on the Seaman one EDIT: Somehow the bit with the signed Sonic Dreamcast ended up being the best part lmao

Dreamcast is the greatest console of all time.

I’ve still got my original US market Dreamcast. It was way ahead of it’s time when. It first dropped in th US
