3DO and Sega CD are nodding positively at you.

I didn’t know Rare made them!

@@elephystry Yeah, Xbox made that entire division work on Kinect games.

At least they got to do Sea of Thieves, but I don't think we've heard of anything new coming from them since then.

Probably a better use than a real pcfx lol

I once entertained the idea of building a SFF build in a PC-FX; there was a distinct lack of teardowns and specs to determine if it was going to work, so I forgot about it.

Guess we'll have to make our own...

Not as diverse? It has like 80 games yo, and almost all are FMV titles. Unless you both like FMV games, and speak/read Japanese, then nearly every game is unplayable.

@@AdamKoralik 64 games and I have them all. RPGs, shooters, platformers, beat 'em ups, adventure, FMV games... They are fantastic. If you can't read Japanese, that's a shame, but the games are great. Give them a go, don't just write it off because it doesn't appeal to you. If it doesn't, that's not a problem, you can't like everything. However, it really does appeal to quite a few.

Kind of like G4's Icons.

Hell yeah, great idea man!

I would definitely watch that :)

True but I really wouldn't consider the Saturn much of a failure in Japan. I think Adam is right here though that if NEC released it when they were originally planning to in 1993, and then released their planned 3D card in 1995, the Saturn would have struggled even more. Heck, even the PlayStation and N64 likely wouldn't have done as well and I think it'd have been a pretty even market share between them all. But having 4 competitors long term is unlikely and somebody would have eventually given way. I still think it might have been NEC but it could have very well been Sega before the Dreamcast. With NEC providing the GPU for the Sega Dreamcast, a new NEC console would have likely ended up very similar to the Dreamcast anyway. It's funny and strange to think how much history would have changed had some different decisions been made.

@@Bristecom PC FX though seemed to be an underpowered mess of interactive movies as games. NEC completely misread the market. They did a terrible job of promoting the Turbografx-16 in the US, despite having a lot of really good games and popularity in Japan.

​@@hepwo91222 Yeah, I don't think there was any chance of salvaging the US market. And yeah, as Adam mentioned, the push for FMV-based games and delays really ruined its chances in Japan. But if it were released in '92 or '93 as planned with more non FMV-based games to start with, it would have likely done very well. It wouldn't have been outdated at that time as it would have likely been the first with a 32-bit RISC CPU and the first entirely CD based console with noticeably better graphics and sound than the previous consoles (check out Kishin Douji Zenki FX: Vajura Fight for example). And if they had promised a superior 3D graphics upgrade when the Saturn and PlayStation were announced, it might have been enough to get people to go for the PC-FX and wait for the 3D card or wait for a combined 3D unit. They had an in-house 3D graphics chip released in '95 known as the PC-FXGA but they weren't too happy with it but if they held out until '96, they would have used the PowerVR PCX1 (earlier version of the Dreamcast chip) and that would have blown the Nintendo 64 away! Plus, the ability to use it as a CD drive for NEC computers was a big selling point to many Japanese people back then as NEC was the most popular for computers and add-on CD drives were kind of expensive. It really could have been a big success had they played these cards right.

Saturn didn’t fail in Japan. At ALL.

SEGA didn't mismanage the Saturn, Sega of America dropped the ball hard on it because they never wanted to get on board with it in the first place as they were already upset at SEGA of Japan for keeping its development TOP SECRET in 1993 as SOA thought SEGA was going with the JUPITER build(System 32 with Model 1 3D), but SOA was the one who miscalculated and ultimately let to PSX's create after giving Sony ALL of Jupiter's Trade Secrets, Designs and blueprints in 1992 after Sony had conned them into being an OEM potential for Jupiter by ILLEGALLY manufacturing Sega CD SKUs. SEGA of Japan as it turned out that SOA learned in Early 1993, had SLAMMED the door in Sony's face in September 1991 after Hirzai and Kutaragi were thrown out off SOJ's Haneda Offices for making boisterous claims that couldn't be substantiated. Turns out, Sony was SPYING on SEGA desperate to get information on whatever Next Gen project SEGA was involved as Sony was planning to design their own console using STOLEN designs from Nintendo's Super Famicom CD. SOJ scrapped Jupiter(Phase 1) in '93 in favor of AURORA(A 64-bit Model 2 Based Powerhouse) and Jupiter Phase 2(System 32 with Model 2 3D)which became SATURN. The PSX was a DUBIOUSLY designed Console at best that became a commercial success under Dubious Circumstances and Luck and a then Giant Corp with Deep Pockets. As NEC's PCFX? Timing is why it FAILED. You see, in '92, Tetsujin was set for launch in The Holiday of 1993 NOT 1994. NEC's R&D team also miscalculated SEGA and Nintendo, they were convinced that Reality/Atlantis was 2D only endeavor(It was) and that SEGA was going all out with a System 32 build(MARS/Giga Drive), but didn't realize that SEGA was already moving to a basic 3D solution away from MARS by 1992. Nintendo didn't start the Ultra 64 design until Early 1994, Sony's PSX caught them off guard, so Reality was retooled as VR32. Not really, Nintendo talked about Ultra 64 openly throughout 1994, its prototype(N64's ultimate design) was unveiled in the November 1994 issue of Nintendo Power. Nintendo went with Cartridges in 1995 because of SONY. PCFX's plans for a November 1993 rollout in Japan fell through because NEC decided to dissolve their overseas gaming divisions, they shifted all focus to their domestic markets still holding steady in PC Engine sales despite the fact that by 1992, Mega Drive had ALREADY caught up in sales to PC Engine and by '93 was already sitting comfortably behind Super Famicom. PC Engine ultimately put NEC in 3rd place in Japan. The NEC PCFX Finally belatedly launched in Japan on November 23,1994 ONE day after Saturn. But by then, SATURN had taken all the thunder. SEGA had success with it selling 280,000 units in 24 hours and had marketed it as a 64 BIT Console. NEC did NOT equip PCFX with 3D hardware like SEGA had and Nintendo was doing so with Ultra 64, OR software like Sony and 3DO had. That coupled with its Steep price and underperforming hardware, the PCFX was a flop. And NEC knew it. They tried to save face with the Niche market. But to no avail. Apparently, in 1996 and 1997, NEC and SEGA were in talks to bring PCFX's library ported over to SATURN. The talks ultimately fell though. Regarding SEGA consoles, our business affiliate, MonKing Games have been working on a solution for FIVE years to bring them out of retirement. And we'll both soon be revealing DETAILS. Stay Tuned.

Not a full truth. NEC licensed PowerVR. PowerVR was made by VideoLogic. They work just how AMD and Nvidia do. They license their gpu design out for other manufactures to make them the hardware.

@@Clesarie I didn’t even know that

Also, nec sold graphics chips to computers and its powervr to sega for the dreamcast. I wish pcfx-ga was successful and pc games were release/compatible with board.

On cons, not playable on a computer monitor.

I've always wanted to play Team Innocent ever since I saw pics of that game in Gamefan.

Exactly, Team Innocent is actually a very interesting game. I've played through it a handful of times and enjoyed it more than any other PC-FX game I've played. Referencing Resident Evil doesn't even do it justice as it released over a year earlier, rather it was influenced much more directly by Alone in the Dark (and possibly derivative Japanese games like Doctor Hauzer) albeit with a lighter tone and cute waifus in space.The narrative is very well done too, so the fact that there's a lot of dialogues and FMV cut-scenes didn't bother me, it's anime after all. Cheesy live action FMV is really a whole different genre from straight up anime FMV cut-scenes. The OST also has some fantastic tunes, especially in the opening and file select menus.The quality you expect from Hudson Soft really is there if you actually bother to give the game a chance, though it's not a 10/10 by any stretch. Can't say I've played anything like it to be honest, it doesn't really fit snugly into any category.

I spent about 15 minutes watching Team Innocent. Calling it "like Resident Evil" is a huge, huge insult to Resident Evil....

@@LordRayken First of all Team Innocent predates Resident Evil by over a year, so it's more of a predecessor if anything, though it's a very different game. There were not many other games like Alone in the Dark between its release and the release of Resident Evil, but an obscure Japanese game like the 3DO exclusive Doctor Hauzer was more or less derivative of it, while Team Innocent had much more of its own unique spin on the genre. This alone makes the game interesting. Also you should absolutely never pass judgement on any game based on video footage.

@@Mogura87 I usually reserve judgment... but not in this case

Lmao

Casio made two consoles

Notmies such

Sad the pcfx ga board failed as well.

I own one. Spec wise very nice for its time but games were few and very expensive (1941 and Daimakaumura which I own are quite good)

3ds has good games like sega 3d classics which you can't experience the same way anywhere else.

same pull park as sega cd

STADIA IS NOT A CONSOLE

steam is the worst console! oh wait it's not a console...you sure know what u are saying dude XD

@John Huffington boy you ain’t lying, talk about buyers remorse. Slap full of mobile games.

ouya...

stadia is amazing and here in europe work flawlessly

I'm glad more people are developing an interest in the Dreamcast.

@@AdamKoralik Now if only SEGA ports everything to PC, those interested people may actually be able to play those games.

@@mopeybloke meh, the Dreamcast at least sold enough units they're still readily available for an affordable price. Though you can get 1080p or so with redream on a pretty old pc at this point.

Never happening.

@@AdamKoralik booo

Timestamp?

@@jamesf8783 A cool 4:44

Nah, I don't have one.

Would like to.

@@AdamKoralik oh mate you have to! Your videos on each console generation are really detailed. Would be great to give these unreleased consoles the same treatment.

Do you mean the PC Engine?

Adam Koralik ye or the Turbografx-16 as he had a feeling the family would love it and we sure did

Adam Koralik then my Dad got the Neo Geo AES which was even better and then the Saturn. We had a lot of the good and very short life span consoles at the time.

Don't own one. :/

I've seen it many times, yeah. I wouldn't call it common, but definitely not rare.

The same disc includes this as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbmnmMR1nLa7oas.html

Pretty sure you mean genre not video game

That sounds like skyrim but that's probably not what u mean, maybe daikatana?

duke nukem forever?

Shenmue.

Has to be daikatana or duke nukem forever

Wii U was a flop. Did you forget?
