I worked at Blockbuster also. I remember the release of the Dreamcast. I would rent one of them all the time. I ended up quitting, so I didnt know they dropped support. I ended up buying one at price cut. I love the eccentric games Sega put out. Sadly, I had to give in and get a PS2. I liked the PS2 but I didn't have the same fondness that I do for the Dreamcast. I still have mine that's about 5 feet away from me. I'm using the new Brawler controller. I have it converted to HDMI for my HD CRT. Games look awesome! I don't believe this console was a failure, I think everything around it was.

Whats rarely mentioned and probably a bit more obscure is that Sega was going to flop before the launch all together and its only because one of their execs gave the company 650 million of his stock and then forgave Sega of the loan before he died

Seeing Soul Calibur on a console in 99 was just unbelievable. It was really the first time a company could say a home console game was arcade quality if not better. To me that's the day arcades died in the west.

I still have my Dreamcast in pristine condition in its original box. Keyboard, light gun and most of the games on this list. I know it’s valuable to collectors but I don’t know if I could ever part with it. It was just special.

The VMU was really cool, but it also made the Dreamcast version of Tony Hawk unacceptable in my household 😂. My mom thought cuss words were evil and a certain trick had the word "bitchin" show up on the screen.

Great video man. The edits, music, humor, writting, the whole package is great. I feel like I stumbled onto something special with this channel. Keep it up!

Working on the Sega Dreamcast's indie development kit, KallistiOS, right now as I watch this... Dreamcast never died. We're still making games for it to this day, with an extremely modern, capable development kit with a modern toolchain including C++23. I'm even a member of the VMU homebrew scene, and that little shit never died either. Just figured out something new about an unused buzzer mode literally TODAY with an assembly programming rockstar who is composing music for the little thing. Last week we discovered it can run at over 5x the clock rate it was advertised to run at in standalone mode by enabling the clock that gets activated when it plugs into the Dreamcast... lots of crazy homebrew potential.

The dream cast was a really good and innovative system. I got my first taste of online multi-player on it because I wasn't a pc gamer back then. I had my first taste of FPS with UNREAL TOURNAMENT which was FRIGGIN AMAZING & so much fun!! I also played my first NBA 2k on dreamcast. It had a online as well with an option to play 2 on 2 up to 5 on 5 Street ball. Me and friends ended up playing 3 other dudes who were older every weekend. We would play with the current Allstars & they used the 80s players. It was so much fun. Iverson, McGrady & garnett vs Dr j Isiah Thomas & I can't remember the third. It also had a web browser disc that came with the system. It had RE Code Veronica. Can't forget SHENMUE the first open world game I remember playing. I'm sure I'm forgetting alot. Dreamcast should have lasted but Sega had lost all confidence. Really sucked

The Sega Dreamcast pushed all my right buttons. It was my first Sega console and I loved it! Every week I went to EBgames to pick up something new. I still have my system and games along with a second console because Seaman told me to!!

15:18- Wait, is that a Sonic Adventure disc with a Sonic Heroes cover?

I wouldn't call the Dreamcast a failure at all. Sega made games for it all the way up until 2007 or 2008, Floigan Brothers had DLC released a couple years ago, making it the oldest console game to get DLC. Heck, you can still play most, if not all of Dreamcast's online titles online still to this day. Plus, Dreamcast ports of games like MVC2 are still the definitive versions, despite the game being rereleased on later consoles. All of this is very impressive, the only way Dreamcast "failed" is sales numbers.

This deserves more views. The effort on editing is immense.

The Dreamcast became the first Sega console I ever owned(I was a Nintendo and Pokemon fanboy back in the day) that I got for Christmas of 1999 when I was 9 years old. Didn't get a Genesis/Mega-Drive until my late High School years after watching some early AVGN episodes of Genesis games back in the day. Good times, good times!

My all time fav console. It totally blew me away when I first fired up sonic adventure (killer whale section). I was only used to ps1 graphics at the time. It was the first console I ever bought with my own money I had earned from my first proper job aswell. I still regularly play my dreamcast now.

Great video! Really enjoyed it! Was shocked you don’t have more subscribers! keep it up the good content though - you will go far! 💪

Tokyo Xtreme Racing is my favorite and I still play it now.

i still have my dreamcast box from eb gameworld with the $49.99 price tag , i remember all the games were being sold for like $5-15 new at the stores when it was discontinued , i once owned nearly 100 dreamcast games , loved the system , i recently bought an authentic dreamcast console shell to build a mini itx system in it and throw redream on it in honor of original
