canadian dreamcast 8:22

Man you make me feel old, I grew up with all of this stuff being born in the early 90s. Lol the fact that you describe the manual like some sort of ancient relic really shows your age 😂

Arnt they the EXACT same game just slightly better graphics 😭

I jad also Laser Issues but not as notorious as you had. it could freeze up occasionally but Shenmue was my dealbreaker. i had one loading screen of death. for me the calibration was perfect. No issues since then.

Master System was not Sega's first console that would be the 1983 Sega SG-1000, and the Sonic DX is a downgrade not an upgrade from the superior Dreamcast version, to the point where effort has been made to convert Sonic DX back to the original assets on Dreamcast for the PC version (Gamecube could not handle a lot of the Dreamcast's lighting, transparency, textures and effects. One of the Dreamcast’s unique features was its PowerVR GPU. It was equipped with a hardware feature called order-independent transparency (OIT). No console before or after the Dreamcast ever had that feature built in on the hardware level, and it took many years until mainstream GPUs became capable of dealing with order-independent transparency. When the game was being ported to the Gamecube, the benefits of order-independent transparency were no longer there, and the developers ran into numerous problems involving transparent models) Lastly for Dreamcast, you want a model 1 version of the console as it can read CD-R and it's easy to burn GD-ROM ISO of expensive titles to be played on the system. It's sad what happened to Sega, though in a round about way the original Xbox was essentially Dreamcast 2 (Dreamcast was based on Sega Arcade Naomi hardware, Xbox was based on Sega Chihiro arcade hardware, Peter Moore was head of the Dreamcast, also head of the Xbox, etc).

Get yourself powerstone 2, marvels vs Capcom 1 or 2, street fighter third strike and alpha 3. Cannon spike, chu chu rocket. Any sports game from rhe sega 2k lineup. Silver.

Greetings to all SEGAraner on the world.....When playing games on this device, the gamingworld was perfect 4 me

I'm from Russia and my father bought us the console in 2005. I was so happy to play on it. We didn't have a PC yet. I still have my Dreamcast with GDEMU and 128GB SD Card with games and always turn it on for an hour when I visit my parents. You definitely should try Shenmue 1/2 and RE: Code Veronica. Thanks for the video!

Black Yoshi. Bof.

Ton of great games for this console

Speaking of party games one time my sister and I were playing Mario Party 2 and she was in last and I was in first. After the bonus stars though she won and we were both flabbergasted

269TH LIKE LETS GOOOO

The Dreamcast version’s DLC is actually available as a mod for the PC version

For discs I recommend using water and hand soap, just make sure you dry it really really well with something soft so you don’t break your console

I got the red Yoshi and bc i am horrible with name making i named him Rouge

$150??? I bought mine back for $50 with 3 controllers and games back in 2021

In your video about the Dreamcast you made a mistake and said that the Master System was Sega's first console as most people think but not the correct answer is the sg1000

ttyd was best mechanics, but spm was best story wise imo

I need it

Blue yoshi named Boshi Jr and Bobery is the best

Thx I officially feel old now

Sg1000

Please invest in the Sega Dreameye 📷

I got a red Yoshi and named him Odogaron

Now you need skies of Arcadia

Even the generic NPCs have unique names and ways of speaking. The last three PM titles were SUCH a downgrade, seriously...

Making me feel old 🥴

my yoshi is blue and i named him boshi

I got a Dreamcast recently too. Today actually. It’s got issues w/ the disk drive, but I think I can make it work.

shenmue

I think this shows how much content and effort was put into video games from then vs now. Also, amazing video dude, very high quality.

I got white Yoshi, named him Holy

I kinda want nintendo to hold off on too many more remakes until they unveil/release the next console, unless they will make a bunch of Switch games available on the next console too. I could see a huge selling point for upgrading to the new consoles being that companies are remaking, remastering, or just porting old games to new hardware

I love paper mario and I fully understand and agree with everyone who wants future installments to be like the original 2. What I don't understand is how so many people prefer TTYD over the original Paper Mario.

Dont feel bad, I went thru 3 Dreamcast because of Laser issues in 99 and 2000 lol! I ended up buying the Black Sport Edition and that one never messed up🤣

This was the first time I've ever "felt old"🤣🤣🤣. So happy you got to experience the actual console man. I have so many core memories attached to the Dreamcast.

Who told you that playing burnt games would be better on the GDrom? If anything, doing that is what prematurely killed many of those drives over the years as it has to work harder to read the discs. In any event, you realllly should replace that power supply with an aftermarket one if you're running a gdemu. Other comments have already touched on the why for this. I'm using a DreamPSU but there are several reputable ones on the market to choose from. I splurged on mine and got the version with an integrated Bluetooth module on board. The guy making them also offers something called the DreamCon where he retrofits OEM controllers with bluetooth capability and a rechargeable battery, for a premium. There's two varieties on offer, the basic one with a dongle you plug into the controller port, or the version I got that requires the upgraded DreamPSU with BT built in. He also offers DreamPSU without that feature, it really just depends on how you want to do it and if you want to spend the extra cash. Just be aware that you have to supply your own controller now if you choose to go that route, as whatever supply of new old stock he had dried up. When I commissioned mine I had him source me a translucent grey controller to match the new shell I'm using, cost extra though. Oh yeah, almost forgot. Every DreamCon conversion also has a built-in VMU chip, so you don't physically need a VMU if you don't have one. Pretty neat. He also offers the DreamVMU where he adds a backlight and rechargeable battery. As far as games, well I'm going to go off of what I see in the video series. If you like fighting games such as MvC2, then Capcom vs SNK is a no brainer along with Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolf and Street Fighter Alpha 3. If you like racing games, my personal favorite on the console is the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. It's a bit different than normal racing games though, you're doing highway pulls. The gist of it is you have to get in front of your opponent and put distance between the two of you to win. It's actually based in the real life sub culture from the 80s & 90s, people still kind of do it today but not to the same degree. Look up the Mid Night Club for a wild ride into a bygone era. Metropolis Street Racer and Sega GT are good choices if you want something more sim like, akin to Gran Turismo or Forza. I already covered Soul Caliber and Dead or Alive 2 in the last video, but I'll just briefly mention them again. RE Code Veronica is a great survival horror game, and the first Resident Evil to ditch the prerendered backgrounds in favor of 3d environments. You can also grab a port of Resident Evil 3 at least, maybe RE2 as well I can't recall. Speaking of ports, there's a few ps1 ports available that run way better on DC. Off the top of my head the only other ones I can remember is Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 I think. A word of advice: do not go down the rabbit hole of a US Saturn. You will regret it unless you plan on getting an optical drive emulator for that system too. The prices for good US games are well above the Dreamcast's highest priced titles. If you really want a Saturn, get a JP unit. The games are far cheaper, and there's a lot of them that are perfectly playable either partially in English or otherwise.

Only 150$$$ lol

As a Nintendo boy growing up, the DC was my first Sega console I was pumped for from the jump and I was there at launch day when it was finally, and half heartedly, released in Australia.

Everything after TTYD is just subpar. I actually dropped those and went back to play the handheld Mario and Luigi games.

I bought this game on launch day and still agree that it's severely over priced even before I bought it tbh. $60 is quite a bit of money and for a 10 year old 3DS game with barely any touch ups makes it a hard sell, especially compared to nearly every other remaster or port Nintendo has done. But I mean I still love the game even despite it's flaws and plus it let's me play ScareScraper again so I had to buy it (and to finally beat that stupid ice boss after never getting past it when I was younger) but I don't blame people who think it's not worth it and lazy (because it is), but in my opinion it's still quite a fun time and people who haven't played the og game ever or in a while should pick it up (when it gets a price drop of course)

The way bro talks about the manual makes me feel like a fossil

its still good I say

I love Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, the HD version was honestly something to be expected if Nintendo would discontinue online for 3ds and wii u. That said, I think the game itself is fine, they didn't do much sure, but also didn't ruin it either. The visuals are fine, except that some of Luigi's expressions (mostly in the cutscenes) just look unnatural to me. Specifically the eyebrows, idk why but it's disturbing when they move around

tbh i bought a switch just to play this. i remember watching zackscotts og playthrough and that made me love the game i knew i was not gonna miss out on this chance of playing it. i also ended up buying mario 3d world and bowsers fury which is another game that i used to love when i had my wii u. amazing video

Ah yes, one of my favorite games of all time. The (almost) 600 hours I spent on this game was totally time well spent.

One of the best rpg's of all time.

I do think there are a few things that are not good for the remake, but else its good, one bad thing:the jump that you could do endless is harder, instead of the timing being:8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 its 8,6,4,1,4,4,1 like, wtf

I also now do. I got an orange yoshi and I named him Rocket.

I feel like if you grow up with a certain game, you’re able to kind of ignore what’s bad with it because it was like the default for you. But when you play games later in life, you compare them to an idolized version of the games you grew up with. Like I’m pretty young so I grew up with sticker star, but since I grew up with it, I just kind of ignore all the bad things about the game so when I think of sticker star now it seems like a pretty good game because everything bad with it just felt normal. I played through the switch port of the original paper, Mario, and it just kind of felt boring.
