But let's not forget that it was their idea to push the 32x and CD, while Japan was ready to move to the Saturn

hahaha Sega of America did what? Sega was never popular in the US and the Japanese knew that, also, it was the director of Sega US that failed to supply shops with the Dreamcast which was also coincidentally Microshaft's first foray into console design and guess what, for his utter incompetence he was rewarded with the same job but now working for Microshaft after Sega went under. hmmm Fuck Bill gates and ignorant 'muricans who bought the Xbotch, 20 years of mediocrity and still MS is able to have an army of Stans... In the US mind you, Europe was Sega territory, they were, as, if not more popular than Nintendo, Xbox sees very little sales over here and in Japan it's a joke. just look back and tell me what ground breaking games did the Xbloop studios came up with? Don't say Halo pls, it's just your nostalgia playing tricks, there were far better fps at the time. I said ground-breaking

@@lordcommandernox9197 sega was popular in the 16 bit era we both know that

@@gamble777888 They could've had a chance if the Saturn had the launch titles completed and the Console was cheaper.

Underscorer Well now I feel old 😂😂😂

@saberspark Thank you for loving this! I was having a bad night and you made it better!

I thing it all comes down to money. Warner Bros. is a large corporation, yes, but Disney is a fucking empire. They have enough money to constantly advertise their characters, so the kids will always recognize them from the merchandising.

I gotta agree with Don Feik, whatever the case may be, the root cause of the problem has to go back to how much money each corporation has to throw around. And financially speaking, Warner Bros. couldn't catch up to Disney if the latter took a break for 10 years.

I also agree with Don, and I agree with the lost and forgotten. The HUGE reason I believe why a lot of kids do not know the Looney Tunes comes down to what Don discussed, AND I think it comes down to what they’re showing on TV nowadays. Look at the block that Wabbit/The New Looney Tunes is stuck on! With Teen Titans Go dominating everything, they can barely get a bit of screen time in like the other shows! As for Disney, Mickey is a mascot, so they have to use him at least once in a while. (Even though I thought Bugs was supposed to be Warner’s. I guess they really don’t care about him anymore since it seems they’ve gone...out of that for the time being.) By the way, Mickey seems to be making a comeback as of 2013 and onwards! (Seriously, you guys. When has the mouse last had a show since House of Mouse?) Even Donald Duck is doing it this year with Ducktales!...Kind of.

They could have made model 2 or something, but sega of Japan are retarded that they just left the meeting. But now they are making shitty games for 3rd party companies, EVEN NINTENDO. Maybe if they make a console that has all their games, the old ones and the new ones, with some 3rd party games, they could have a comeback.

@@ahmedelged4894 agree, they should make version 2 which upgrade the optical to DVD ROM, and add an USB slot. On graphic, sega still can compete with others. But it lack the library especially an J-RPG at that time was a game changer. Shenmue was great, but no final fantasy was a big thing

Let's face it. Sega was terminally ill well before Dreamcast hit the market. Soon as Kalinsky left it should have been the biggest red-flag

I think the overlook of broadband, pirated games, and being able to override the system with no physical mod…that really hurt the Dreamcast. A friend that had well off parents handed me a bunch of new games on CDR. Blew my mind at the time. A few months later ATR offered the Stingray and a 1mbps download speed. Everyone was able to get all games, even on release date for free. Many were still playing after it was discontinued. Me and everyone I knew still had Dreamcast as a big system up till 2005 in home. So many games we couldn’t play them all! That was a huge oversight not many talk about. Also I watched movies on mine with CDR early on before PS2.

Dreamcast was awesome because you can play burnt games from all over the world with jus a toothpick trick.

normal guy Well.. If i would ask my friend of the "Genisis" everyone would say : "What the fuck is that?" If i'd ask about the SNES they would say : "o yea i know that thing."

Sega of Japan screwed Sega.

+PLC The Legacy-Yeah, you will find too often that the "losers" of the "console wars" are made so because of their own ineptitude and their own stupid decisions. Ie. Microsoft has struggled this entire generation with the XBOX One over stupid decisions they willingly made: announcing that they were going to lock used games and have the XBOX on permanent internet, only to rush to nix those plans when the backlash became way too much. Forced the integration of the Kinect with the XBOX One at first where the XBOX One ran all the way up to at least $500 on release day. Lack of exclusives, botched release day titles, repeatedly cancelled high budget projects for whatever reason and shuttered a catalog of its own internal developers. Microsoft routinely f'd up this generation, so all their turmoil and woes over the situation is entirely THEIR fault. Likewise, it was probably much the same story with Sega back in the 90s. They missed out on an opportunity to create a console with Nintendo because they create their own-the Saturn and the Dreamcast. However, according to someone here, Sega sued developers trying to create games for their own console because the process was so confusing and Sega never told them how to use it, the developers tried to reverse engineer games on their own to figure it out. Basically, Sega was suing its own developers for DARING. ..to make games for their own console and of course, that fallout had to have been a public embarrassment. The damage was probably around done with what happened with the Saturn to where it is likely very few companies wanted to work with Sega on their next console, the Dreamcast. From what I can gather, that console dropped like a stone, probably even as early as release, to where it remains a far more obscure console a few people who grew up with genuinely still love it. And it looks like after the Dreamcast failed and Microsoft dipped its toes in the console market with the first XBOX, Sega finally surrendered and never made a console again. And it seems ever since all the way back when that happened. . .they haven't really done anything of relevance. The Sonic titles were still great. . .until they weren't. . .and Sega refuses to put this series into the peaceful sleep that it deserves. They only have done a few series, some with cult followings (Valkyria Chronicles), and a few random mobile games here and there, but other than that, they operate as a hollow shell of who they used to be and whoever the executives are left are not capable or willing to let anything change about it.

Even Microsoft has.

Scott Gordon completely true statement dude.

Fera Flauna yeah love VC

They narrowly dodged the same thing that many Japanese companies fell victim to, including Sega in this video: Ignoring/underestimating the Western market trends and adhering to strict traditionalism.

I mind him doing a "what's wrong" with Nintendo video since even though Nintendo is still king or whatever they still have their problems and issues and all, but i'm wondering if Nintendo won't take down the video when he does make it since Nintendo seems to copyright anything that they don't like seeing or whatever i don't know.

Simple. The incredible botched launch and life cycle of the Wii U.

+Camad203 So shouldn't it just be what ruined the WiiU then?

Manuel Alberto Romero Precisely, cause even though the Wii U was a massive failure, the 3Ds is still a success.

The problem with sonic is nostalgia from the 90s. I've encountered this many times, also with mortal kombat. What little good progress comes from innovation is stepped on by the 90s. Its also a problem for comics where the 10% silver age fans call modern comics out and promote their era as better.sonic can work in 3d for example as sonic adventure is proof of this, but the problem is that they never developed this model. Each game often is an independent development and so Sega games can be disconnected as is the case with sonic in 3d.

In theory they could considering they'd have Sonic as an exclusive, but it's just not going to happen now. The company doesn't have the resources. The only way it could happen is if one of the big 3 starts to fail and they ask SEGA to get on board with a new project, but the chances of that are very slim.

And Sega could still make good games without worrying about the hardware. But for the most part they don't. I believed when they made the announcement that it would be great for them. They always had a handful of games I wanted to play, I just never wanted to play them bad enough to get the hardware. Sega is a company that has been eating itself from within for years.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Omar Kaj Who never appeared again ever since. People really need to get over Elise as well as most of the other stuff from 06 that was completely removed from the franchise afterwards. Yes, she was an incredibly bland character and the romance between her and Sonic was forced and stupid and there’s no need for her to ever appear in any Sonic media ever again, but her character is far from being the thing that doomed Sonic 06. She didn’t even really drag down the stories that weren’t Sonic’s which is more than I can say for Chris Thorndyke who kept stealing the spotlight from the actually interesting stuff *while* being an incredibly bland character all throughout Sonic X. I thought Shadow‘s and Silver‘s stories were decent at worst, especially considering the stories we get from Sonic nowadays. *coughcoughPontaff* *coughcoughSonicBoom*

I played that never finished it too confusing. 6/10 needs a remake

*whispers* we don’t talk about that game...

I think they wanted to bring Madona back in Sonic game by making other female characters like Amy with her nature and physic (in love with him a lot, her attitude, red dress, hair cut...), Élise was something similar but she's more calm and you know, have a role of a princess, that make me thinking of Princess Sally because of her brown hair also. But she don't even try to do something, similar to princess Peach, waiting her hero comes to recue her and I'm maybe not the only one who find this annoying.

Chris wasn't bad, everyone think he's that bad, but the concept inside this character is to show what a kid will do faced to his past and present. I would like to say more info about it but I think you'll never understand the meaning of this little guy inside this serie.

Lange not really if you think about it, for the sake of argument if Mania didn't exist Forces would have been your typical average Sonic game. Mania was a pleasant surprise to many hardcore players and Forces fun for the passionate fan base that at least had a fun character creation and good soundtrack. Far better then Sonic Boom at least (which I know isn't saying much but still)

StephySon That's exactly how I see it. Its still sad that SEGA has a HUGE library of characters and franchise to bank off from veterans or newcomers, but they never take those risks anymore. They are like a washed-out, 3rd party Nintendo, and that's incredibly depressing to me.

I think what he meant was that Sonic Mania managed to elevate the image of the Sonic franchise, and Sonic Forces went down again ...

I believe Forces cut off the foot instead of putting the bullet back in. Now all we need is a game recognized by all Sonic fans young and old alike to make SEGA a prosthetic foot.

How is sega pitiful? The problem they had was severe misallocation of management. They had decent hardware and great games.

halo3odst Um, because Sega of Japan made incompetent decisions and was too stubborn/prideful to admit that Sega of America had a better understanding of the business?

Exactly, what do you think i meant by "severe misallocation of managment?

halo3odst So why were you asking what makes them pitiful? It's because they were petty and shortsighted.

SoJ was only a third of sega that just so happened to have the final say in most major decisions, the other devisions were fairly brilliant in their execution of the company when left to their own devices. On top of that most hardware and software that came from sega was pretty impressive when it came out, and the company was trying new innovations usually half a decade before someone else got recognised for it.

Princess Pikachu I was thinking the same thing. The girl they showed in the artwork even looked similar to the one in Sonic ‘06.

DarkAnimeCommander Soto bruh Madonna looks nothing like Elise

@@subliminallover5714 Imo, Elise is prettier than Madonna. Maybe it's cause I have a thing for short-haired girls.

They took "gotta go fast" too literally.

Simply, blame CEO Andrew Wilson for ultimately being th promoter of the modern MTs and Loot Box. Not the original creator, but the promoter (two different things)

Daniel Venetsky That’s what I’m thinking he should make a video about What Ruined EA or other gaming companies

I think it's a lot harder to make a video about this. SEGA fell to due a couple of very big poor decisions. The fall of EA was a very gradual thing. There aren't really any dramatic missteps or exciting events he can talk about. Them buying up all kinds of companies is not unusual. It happens all the time.

Fifa 23 is fine and Need for Speed :Hot Pursuit Remastered

Meh

Incorrect. PSX was never released outside of Japan.

Mackenzie Peters no worries, before the PSX DVR unit came out many referred to the first PlayStation as PSX, because "PSX" was initially the console's code name. People starting calling PlayStation PS1 when the successor PS2 came out. Before that it was often abbreviated as PS or PSX.

"Code name"? So, PlayStation's name was often abbreviated as with its code name, despite that other consoles have not been treated with such practice? Most illogical.

Anakunus other consoles? Most systems have code names. It's certainly logical. To me it's illogical to even ask this question.

No. A logical thing would be to abbreviate other consoles with their code names, yet that is not done. Thus, referring to PlayStation with its code name is illogical.

Maxwell Shapiro same

Maxwell Shapiro wise words man

Meh. So-so.

Manuel Alberto Romero Yeah I’m happy to be wrong about that. It’s just that comment sections for anything remotely Sonic-related are usually toxic enough to kill 20 elephants.

I got house of the dear 2 on dream cast that game is sooo cool

Bro I would play that game for hours!! Remember Leathal Enforcers?

And even better: virtua cop.

Damn I forgot about that game

SEGA created most of the best arcade rail shooters, and so many other great arcade games 🚀

It hurts me,the movie deeply hurts me

Hey I read about you in the Book Console Wars by Blake Harris.

lovely

as a gamer in that era, you guys were just dumping gaming consoles on us like it was going out of style. Who wants to invest money in a console that will have no games and be upgraded to another in a year? Playstation was actually nothing like SEGA in my view. Sega had so many opportunities to succeed and never utilized them. Playstation had one opportunity and utilized it. I speak from experience I had a sega CD and you fucked me hard.

beautiful testimony, tku

@@penguinpie5056 Way to take it personally, Champ. $300 over 30 years ago and you're still upset about it.

"bling"

Clearly Me no the s64

Or the sega neptune. Since the controller was trident like.

And Sonic 64.

sounds way better than Dreamcast.

Tom Cat , How?

@@maybeim2372 He probably thought it would open up a portal to a better game.

To be fair, that's what they were banking on

To be fair, E.T wasn't THAT bad, though. There were much worse 2600 games. Albeit, they weren't as high profile.

It's no good...

And it alienates the competitor's fanbase from giving your product a chance because they think you're bullying them.

Sega does what Nintendon’t. Nothin personnel, kid 😎.

Kolot that was an amazing catchphrase though

elin111 Nintendo eventually did the same stuff with their Donkey Kong Country ads, so they weren't 100% innocent.

Audio Knight Like Nintendo doesn't have an awful bad fanbase? And Nintendo are just awful bad in general.

She’s should be on the list for most hated game company and hates like blizzard and gearbox software not to mention saga and gearbox work together both saga and gearbox ruin their reputation and now saga is now a shell of its former self

Beastiality is a sin against Gawd!

shut up meg

Haha

Diplamatik Juan Waht??

Meg R.L. The very 1st sonic game came out in mid 1991

SegaDisney Then the last time, it didn't play at all lol

That's when you know the scene's been overplayed lmao

SegaDisney annoys me how he mispronounces it’s like dude whenever you boot a sega published or made game

Not segga, its prounounced sayga. Shit got me fucking triggered

that would take seconds just flash "ET" in big bold letters and call it a day.

With Carl Off's "O Fortuna" playing in the background

That'd be cool, especially with Atari trying to make a comeback (we all know it'll fail lol)

SEGA is a living paradox. Sometimes they make some genius decisions and sometimes they make decisions so stupid, you start to wonder how they still exist today as a company.

Marius Urucu It seems to be SEGA of Japan's fault for most of it...

SonicX147 Yeah, it's pretty obvious.

Marius Urucu Mhm, and it sucks to hear that, knowing SEGA has never been a big success in Japan, mainly Sony with Nintendo at the side. They should have just let the American department do their job.

And they really need to start making the genius decisions more often Imao.

And boy have they done some dumb stuff with him. Sometimes I ask myself why Sonic team keeps making these games if they keep screwing up Sonic in some way or another.

At this point sonic should be ripped away from Sega, sonic team, or both. Sega ruined most of 06's potential and Sega and sonic team both destroyed boom(synergy) and threw big red button under the bus. I'm still bitter that people still call BRB a crappy developer when it was Sega and sonic team. Sonic needs to be given to people that care.

Agreed.

Sonic Badass Hopped one day.

*Vid starts* The Virtual Boy And the Wii U failure (They kinda advertised it wrong :/ ) *Vid Ends*

And yet still standing strong. Bankruptcy is non-existed in Nintendo's vocabulary.

Well they made enough money with the Wii to last them for decades.

Horst Schlemmer I guess you're right...plus both the Switch and the 3DS(still) are doing well

A Casual Commenter The Switch has already reached 15 million sales. It has beat the PS2’s first year sales.
