@@VocalMai6757 It’s people like you that I hate. Dude is just mentioning how he bought a Dreamcast on September 9th, 1999, and then here you are “IT CAME OUT IN JAPAN FIRST, IT CAME OUT IN JAPAN FIRST!! OH YOU BOUGHT A DREAMCAST I GUESS JAPAN DOESN’T EXIST!!!!!!” and also “YOU HAVE AN ANIME PFP, I GUESS JAPAN DOESN’T EXIST AND ANIME ORIGINATED FROM AMERICA THEN!!” Stop trying to cause arguments, it makes you look like a fucking fool. The dude is just mentioning how he bought a Dreamcast, that literally has nothing to do with anything else.
I remember my Dreamcast, it was a little before my time, but we were broke and that’s all we had. I loved it. Zombies Revenge is one of my all time favorite games.
I feel you. I was poor too when I was little and couldn't afford any consoles I always liked that system tho even tho I didn't had it just watched it on TV n magazines. I was so poor I used to cut out toys from magazines n played with them :,( now that im grown I bought a ps5 xbox x and a gaming pc. And so many more consoles.
I miss my old Dreamcast so much!!!! I had forgotten about the second slot in the controller. I didn’t have a rumble pack so I always wondered what the other slot was for.
Cool thing is with the vmu if you are playing any resident evil you can see the character health if the vmu so you don’t have to pause to see your status, that why Inlive the dreamcast
Don't Forgot, This console Used to Have Half-Life 1 but, It got Cancelled. The game was suppose to make The Dreamcast Popular but The Console got Discontinued. Half-Life got a PS2 port instead.
@@Totaldramaezekiel22 Oh wow, Yeah.. Those 2 games would've been good to make the Console popular. Even though It's hard to port Console to other consoles of the Engine and Hardware. Like, Gearbox and other companies had to remake the Goldsrc Engine from the ground up for the Dreamcast and other ports.
Most underrated console of all time. It had it's flaws, of course, but it was still impressive for the time. Seems obscure, but it was able to go online, which was a massive deal at that time. The controllers were one of a kind and innovative. You'd never think it was one of the products to tank the company. It was solid competition. Too expensive and too small of a library was what sealed the coffin.
Sega was deep in the red before the system launched, it was of no fault of the system as it was the best Sega ever made and it’s library was huge quilalitt title in one and half year of full support got more games than the Wii U
@@STAXONDECK1The choice to sell the console at a loss definitely contributed to Sega's problem. The Console's early success became the deathblow for a troubled company. I am sure Sega's gamble would have paid off if that had deeper pockets but they didn't.
If you’re talking about the US release then it came out in 9.9.99 yes it had a VMU but it didn’t come with anything you had to buy all the accessories. The Jump Pack was definitely a cool thing to have
@@BrentFiore Exactly my thoughts. New York City must have been hectic on that day. In one point of the city, people were queuing to see Britney Spears and NSync, while in other parts of the city, people were witnessing video game history.
It didnt come with a VMU either. I recall standing in Babbages with my dad, after having saved up money for over a year from allowances and chores to buy the console. Dad said he'd buy me a game, and I picked Sonic Adventure. Then the guy behind the counter said "You are going to need a memory card." Damn things were almost as expensive as a game! I went home with the console and SA1, and then replayed the beginning of it for two months until I could get a VMU.
wish i got to experience the dreamcast a bit more, i was born in 99. i grew up with gamecube instead, playing phantasy star online. nowadays i play on private servers still playing online with fellow gamecube players! thank you dreamcast.
I remember NFL 2K game save taking up about 98% of the available space on the VMU. I don’t miss those days of having to sacrifice one save for another.
The dreamcast is extremely underrated and is also incredibly easy to mod You could buy a gdemu and replace it with the disk drive to basically be able to play every dreamcast game created
Dreamcast had character. Charming characters ,addictive arcade ports,especially Crazy Taxi. PS2 launched with built in DVD player plus it had the momentum from PSone success. Also controller with 2 analog sticks (perfect for FPS) and vibration helped too. VMUs were so neat, if you have enough batteries lol
Great console, I remember getting the Japanese import and completing Sonic Adventures in Japanese. Joined the military came home on leave to find my parents had binned the system and games, along with my mega drive and mega CD. That was 20 years ago and I’ve still not forgiven them!
I remember after the vmu came out and Sony released the Pocketstation. I love mine. Many happy memories leveling up my FF8 Chocobo and my Street Fighter Alpha 3 characters.
I love the Dreamcast and regret selling mine. Using a breakout box and VGA connection made the picture crisp as hell. And the games were superb. Still can't understand why they let the Headhunter franchise go. Really dug both those games.
As a 20 year old, playing older games between 1985 and 2000 Sega was one of the gaming giants. It helps i have a buddy whos double my age but loves video games as much as i do
the only memorie i have of this even though im only 13 was that when me and my brother were like 4 or 5 my grandma used to have one. we never ever played it and thought it was just a weird roku or something. but one day me and my brother were playing outside when i like broke something in my arm. i couldn’t feel or move it and it hurt bad. my grandma had to put it in a old used cast while she went and told my mom about it. my uncle then showed me the dream cast and games on it. i couldn’t move my arm one bit but i could still play the dreamcast.
The quirkiest console with the most bizarre eccentric games that have aged amazingly. I love how that it's technically a 6th gen console, but in my opinion feels more 5.5 gen and a perfect bridge between PS1 and 2. If Sega continued releasing exclusives like the Ecco Dolphin sequel, it would've been sales leader number 2 that gen.
The Dreamcast was way ahead of it’s time. First console to have online gaming. It was a great console. but sadly it had flaws like overheating problems and disc drive problems. I should know I must have bought almost 8 of them you would think I’d give up after the forth but that’s how much I loved theSega Dreamcast.
It’s consoles like these that make me wish that I was born in the 80’s and 90’s but I also like that I get to experience the newer consoles. Video games have come a long way!
Also another thing of the dreamcast was their joystick. It used a special type of technology that used magnets and field sensors to determine inputs rather than the standard like potentiometer style. Meaning there's no drift that can occur from use.
That explains why Dreamcast games feel so good added with the crispy texture and image quality it still looks great, i hate when casuals critique the hard plastic and compare to to other thumb sticks that are not even true anolog but because it has some stupid rubber or texture and says those are superior, people really do not know what they are talking about it’s a shame as Dreamcast Analog stick and triggers were decade ahead of most controllers, Nintendo still doesn’t use analog triggers
Even the PlayStation have pocket memory card it's called "PocketStation". The PocketStation is an first portable mini memory card with the tiny green screen with the PlayStation logo on top on the center came in 1992/1998. The PocketStation has the memory card case and it can hold an memories. It was amazing even the kids wanted one so bad but i have an PS5 (slim edition)
It didn’t come out in competition to the PS2. It was out first. And it was fucking awesome. Still my favorite console to this day. SOOOOOUUUUUUULLLLLL CALIBUUUURRRRR
Fun Fact: The Sega Dreamcast was supposed to perfectly port Sega Naomi game, thus Street Fighter Alpha 3 Saiko Dojo (known on the naomi as street fighter zero 3 upper) Capcom vs SNK 2 (yes there is a subtitle) and Capcom VS SNK Pro
I've been listening to music from game systems I never owned, so NES, SNES, Dreamcast, & Sega Genesis. The music for the Sega consoles were like no other consoles then nor now. The box art was also signature from Nintendo, PlayStation, & Xbox. It's so unfortunate that such diversity, creativity, uniqueness, personality hadn't lived to this day. I could only imagine how Sega would have evolved
It also has an undriftable thumb stick do to the hall effect sensors in place of traditional pots that u will find in like all modern thumb sticks now-a-days
i bought this in 1999 together with Crazy Taxi & Daytona.. it was awesome!! feels like in the arcade on the 50" projection TV.. neglected the Dreamcast cos bought Playstation 2 cos of the VCD function..
I was 27 when it came out in 9/9/1999. I bought mine on launch date or a few days after launch date at Babbage. It was a good system in fact I just sold it back in 2016 or so.
I was 6 when I got the dreamcast in 1999 and my favorite games are crazy sonic adventures, crazy taxi ,phantasy star online and my top favorite is Gauntlet legends.
The Dreamcast was competing with the PS1. (And blows it out of the water) While the PS2 was being worked on, it wouldn't be released until the Dreamcast was already dead. You can't compete with a product that doesn't exist/hadn't been released. The Dreamcast was a gem. And Sega of Japan killed their console game. Still wanting to focus on replicating the "Arcade Experience" that, while still relevant in Japan, had died out in North America. (Likely why the Neo Geo lasted so long in Japan) As well as being jealous over their US departments success.
It's crazy that it requires actual effort to find the OG consoles in the states, but during my trip to Japan, all of them were literally lined up in a store. Genesis, Ps1, Dreamcast, Gamecube, etc. All there...in that exact order...and my dumbass didn't buy any of them....😑
The dreamcast I so cool, the controller and the vmu are way ahead of its time, I think its a shame that other companies didn't try this feature out, can you imagen nintendo made a vmu for pokemon where you can carry them around with you and train them like a digimon and then be able to put them back into your pokemon game
