  • your show is the BOMB! the only classy, and yet entertaining to watch! :) im eating popcorn and soda while watching your show! you my friend are making vids the right way :D

  • The PSes were made because Nintendo betrayed Sony in 1993 (CD-expansion for SNES) - but it ruined Sega...

    THUS: SEGA HAD TO SUFFER FROM NINTENDO'S BETRAYAL!!

    Nintendo was ment, but Sega had to pay the price.

    HOW UNJUST CAN LIFE POSSIBY BE???

    ;_;

  • The Sega Saturn wasn't a failure. It failed only in Nordamerika because of the bad marketing of Bernie Stolar. He did 2 things, first he didn't allow 2D games and RPGs to be brought to America since appearently nobody cares about those *sacasm* and it launched in an instant, which was to much for consumers/developers. Also he said "The Saturn isn't our Future"...now that answers most of your questions. Maybe the Dreamcast wouldn't be beaten by PS2 that easiely :/

  • You missed the absolutley mindboggling event wherein Sega went to E3 and told attendants of their keynote that they were unveling a new console, and that you could essentially buy it immediately. Think how crazy it would be for a console to do that today? I remember walking into my local software store and thinking "is that... THAT IS. It's a SATURN. What is that doing here?!" Developers couldn't market their games effectively and it pissed them off.

  • What's the name of the song at the beginning. It's beautiful! Great vid btw

  • What song is this from the beginning with the piano?

  • I loved my dreamcast '(

  • the problem with sega consoles is that they were always rushing ahead trying to release their stuff before anybody else, thinking making things before other people was more important than sheer quality

  • Alright i know people love the atari 2600 and the gaming historian and im one of thembut whats wrong with dragon ball z i dont get it?

  • which remix is the mario song "mushroom kingdom"? the one at the beginning.. it is awesome.

  • @EarthboundSNES

    2:00 is the mario main theme.

  • This sums up my Dreamcast experience,I used to work part time in a gaming outlet back in 2000 during the holiday season,alot of people would come in and check out the Dreamcast and would say,hmmm it looks cool but I think il wait for the PS2,and when the PS2 was released we had a number of people trying to trade in there Dreamcast for PS2s,sad really it was a good machine and if Sega had waited awhile longer and put more work into it they could have had a real winner on their hands.

  • Truth be told, if Sega had waited another 9-12 months, they could have had hardware comparable to PS2, and it would have been a true battle. Sadly, despite it being a great system, it simply couldnt compete with the PS2. I remember buying the PS2m and one of the big selling points for me was I didn't need to buy a dvd player(at the time, they were pretty expensive)

  • It's a shame the Saturn didn't do better, I think it was all advertising. I didn't even hear about it until years later, none of my friends had one or anything. All I knew at the time was that this amazing new Playstation was coming out, along with rumors of Nintendo doing a new thing. My big brother convinced me to wait on the Playstation and get an N64... biggest mistake of my gaming life

  • @hdad2 Really, it was a combination of the platform being hard to dev for, bad management/marketing, and the decision to build the hardware for 2d vs 3d, like the PS1

  • its too bad the saturn and 32x sucked, then maybe the dreamcast wouldnt have failed and sega would still be around

  • I'd happily throw microsoft out of the race for SEGA,

  • WOW I feel so stupid never knowing that my birthday is on the same day the nintendo 64 released

  • Dude!! your information is amazing but........ you should get a camera that matches the awesome quality that your show already has!! really, your shows rocks!! keep up with that!

  • lots of roumours about about the sega dreamcast 2

  • I owned both dreamcast and ps2 in my lifetime even tho I got to play my first sonic game which is the most excited I got for any game in my life the PS2 will always be the best console I ever owned

  • i'm not sure, but i think it's this video that made me buy a dreamcast (and get rid of my PS2... well i'm going to anyway) for another episode, could you look into the Worlds of Power series ( books based on video games such as Simons Quest, Mega Man 2, Blaster master and others)

  • @christiansoldier11 P.S. great remix at the start of the SMB theme

  • great review and history just how i remembered it, wow the dreamcast is an awesome system and i have now and use it more than my ps3 or xbox. odd but older games just have it a special place in my heart.

  • The Dreamcast didn't fail, we as gamers failed the Dreamcast

  • Power Stone 2...we will never forget.

  • I HATE when people say the "dream cast 2" is coming out WE ALL KNOW that it is NEVER COMING OUT SO STOP MAKING DUMB FAKE VIDEO WITH RICK N ROLL MUSIC SO SSSSSTTTTOOOOPPPP

  • Has there ever been a console that has failed in japan.

  • @TurningJappanesse I know a game ...Action 52

  • @theslashingcloud How about a game console?

  • @TurningJappanesse Atari 5200

  • @theslashingcloud Atari 5200 never came out in Japan. Atari only released one console in Japan and that was the 2600 (branded 2800), and it failed due to the fact that the Famicom was out already.

  • it did not work

    

  • @TurningJappanesse Xbox, N64 (seriously), PSX (PS2 and DVR combined...awesome idea), 32X.

  • @TurningJappanesse the V boy

  • @TurningJappanesse Philp cdi

  • Resident Evil Code Veronica was my favorite Dreamcast game.

  • this made me die a little on the inside moment of silence for the death of SEGA

  • Sega CEO wasnt Study, lol.. were all strategic planning issues..

  • not just consider the greatest gaming system by Sega, but of overal.

  • Do one on big the cat

  • If I had to pick a company to drop out of the hardware race so that sega could re-enter, it'd have to be microsoft. It'd be a minute price to pay to see the classic sega vs. nintendo rivalry again.

  • I play my Dreamcast more than my PS2. To me, Sony killed the true gaming console with the PS2

  • Wait, wasn't D2 a launch title for the Dreamcast?

  • if we kept buying the dreamcast, then right now you would be playing dreamcast 2

  • the Dreamcast was codenamed katana for a reason: it was a samurai that did what it could support its daimyo: sega. Dreamcast died, but it died honorably. the iwo jima music background matched this video well.

  • the begining almost made me cry D:

  • all hail the atari jagu... i mean SEGA dreamcast

  • Ah the Dreamcast. 

  • 2:15 I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE!!! JK. I still think that: SNES > Genesis. But I still like the Genesis :)

  • happy 12th birthday dreamcast!!

  • Dreamcast is the best console ever made

  • i bought a dreamcast from a garash sale with 15 games for 5$ best deal of my life

  • Sega is lost as a company. The Dreamcast is still a marvel that stands the test of time, but bad marketing and business decisions made the company step down as hardware manufacturers. Many fans (including me) love this console to death, and have extensive Dreamcast libraries. But where is Sega today? They keep making good games, but they neglect their mascot, Sonic. I think there should be a true sonic adventure 2, not that mess with shadow the hedgehog. Anyway, there should be a Shenmue 3.

  • o__o

    StarFox 64 Will launch on the PSOne's 16th Birthday...

  • The Dreamcast didin't go out with a bang, it went out with a "SONIC BOOM!"

  • Think of a World where Dreamcast didn't die, a world where SEGA rules and Nintendon't , where Sony and Microsoft have a hard time just competing against SEGA, and a world where we would be playing 8th generation console starting from 2009. Why why did dreamcast had to die :(

  • @personluv913 id like a world where nintendo and sega ruled neck and neck, with just a little friendly competition and sony and microsoft staying in the computer world where they belong, not in the world of video games

  • @nutsforbionicles I'm a bit of a sony fanboy based on my days with the ps2 so i could never really say that i wish sony never got into the gameing world.

    However that does not mean i don't morn the death oh the dreamcast hell i never owned one and i still get sad when i think of sega's downfall

  • @personluv913 lol sega fanboy

  • Comment removed

  • @personluv913 Ver.2: a world with SEGA in bankruptcy

  • @personluv913 Who knows.... The dreamcast was truly amazing.

    JET SET RADIO FTW.

  • @personluv913 That would be a terrible world, I love Call of Duty and Half Life.

    There's no way in hell I want to play some chink fighting game. I hope it would have shooters on it...

  • @gamehacker655 Oh another CoD fanboy...

  • @personluv913 do you know what would be more awesome if nintendo and sega would become one company

  • @personluv913

    No Ocarina of Time, no Mario 64, no Chrono Trigger, no Smash Bros, no Xenoblade...

    NO U.

  • @personluv913 Like your nintendon't reference.

  • Comment removed

  • @personluv913 by the way if sega ruled microsoft wouldn't even have been in the picture and who knows if sony would have lived.

    But nintendo had what no other gaming compagny had: many and strong 1st party icons. so i believe they would be somehow coexist.

  • Amazing what a right music at the right place can do, even make you feel sorry for a console...

  • Is that Letters from Iwo Jima in the background

  • Even though the GCN was released after the PS2, Nintendo wasn't nervous about the DVD playing capabilities of the PS2 because two disk Nintendo consoles and soon to be released Wii U disk console don't have DVD support.

  • Quite Unfortunate what happened to Sega, but remember the you should never give up on Dreams, and the same should be said about the Dreamcast. That System will always hold a special place in my heart. I recieved mine in Christmas of 2000, and i will never forget playing Sonic Adventure for the first time....

  • Atari and Sega:

    Both used to make consoles

    Both still make games

    Both were dominant at certain generations (Atari for 2nd, Sega for beginning of 4th)

    The big difference?...

    Atari ended with a bing from the Jaguar...

    ...but Sega ended with a BANG from the Dreamcast!

  • no matter how many consoles come out with there new hardware, better graphics and motion controll i will always be in love with the dreamcast and gamecube thumbs up if you agree

  • Just Bought One today Playing MVC

  • The Dreamcast was the shit!

  • This friend from school asked me what I would do if I had a Dreamcast, I said to him I don't know and he told me he would break it.

    I was going to get a Dreamcast just to get Resident Evil code veronica x but it came out for PS2 so there was no reason for me to get it.

  • @Masterhand1027 ps2 is ten times better then the dreamcast

    dreamcast is good too but ps2 is just better

  • capcom did try to help sega on their games of the dreamcast hardware. :/

  • theres never gonna be a dreamcast 2. sob sob .the dreamcast is my fav console.

  • They are supposed to be working on a Dreamcast 2 for 2013, but since it is technically discontinued i dunno.

  • i remember opening my Dreamcast on Christmas day. good times

  • A great loss.R.I.P.

  • i almost cried at the begining

  • The last true gaming console

  • @TrapnestShinigami last was PS2

  • This puts me into a sad mood everytime. I know its kinda silly to get upset about a game company going out and all. But Sega was what I grew up with. It's basically all I had up until the N64 came out. I loved playing Vectorman 2 and Sonic 3 with Knuckles, and all those other great games. And now I am grown up and I see that part of my childhood is gone. It's like seeing the house you grew up in being destroyed. Something you cherished at a young age, killed in the eyes of your adulthood.

  • sony is #3 now with Nintendo clearly nr. 1 and Microsoft 2nd barely higher than sony.

  • 6:48 Oh shi- ITS SATAN!!!

  • dreamcast was the second console i ever had, after the N64. so many memories...

  • should of made a dvd add on 

  • Bitches dont know bout my Dreamcast ;)

  • sega has the rise from the ashes and kick microsoft and sony out to have long years of battle with thenintendo systems it has to happen

  • i want to see Sonic on the Dreamcast 2 or the Genesis 2(not the model 2). If Sega makes another console i would buy it

  • 6:51 DEVIL

  • @MrKISSfan12 Watch any Sega commercial. They say Say-Guh, never seh-guh.

  • I still enjoy playing the Capcom fighting games on my Saturn.

  • It was due to Microsoft pulling the plug to start working on Xbox that the SEGA Dreamcast failed.

  • The way you say "Seh-Guh" is so annoying.  Its "Say-Guh".

  • Great vid, very informative!

  • sega was gonna release an expansion to play dvds, but since the dreamcast died in 2001, sega did not release the expansion to play dvds

  • What version of the Mario theme is in the beginning? :/

  • The ps1 is the best console in my opinion. This is why inwould choose dreamcast over ps2 is because it had more of a ps1 library, such as Dino crisis, tomb raider, resident evil and soul caliber etc..... Ps1 rules!!! Dreamcast was like a 128 bit revision of the ps1.

  • *Sorry, "more."

  • @BryanBlazekid Not trying to start a fan war or flame war, but although the Sonic series has a ton of fans, Sonic is just never have another good game. Sure, they tried with Sonic 4, but they even failed with that one. I only played the demo, and it wasn't anything great. He's had a bunch of good games, I admit that, but I don't think that any more.

  • All hail the undead console!

  • @joshsniper27 hail all of them except 3do and cdi

  • is Dreamcast 2 true?

  • @superretard64 it has been rumored that sega will announce what they're project "saturn" in spring and with all the hardware baught many people think its gonna be a dreamncast 2

  • 5 people missed the like button or hate sega

  • @BonJovimjdisturbd nintenfans

  • Dreamcast didnt failed us, WE failed the Dreamcast

  • @Minority119 yeah

  • @Minority119 if that is true then in Soviet Russia, Dreamcast fail us!

  • @pokestory1 nope

    in broviet russia, we still fail the Dreamcast

  • @Minority119 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOO HOW DARE DREAMCAST RESIST THE MEME!

  • @pokestory1 you said it

    "Dreamcast"

    that's your answer

  • @Minority119 In Soviet Russia Dreamcast Fail Youuuuuu!!!

  • @hammer101peeps In Soviet Russia... Oh wait, it doesn't exist anymore.

  • @Minority119 hey the sega dreamcast didn't fail us sega did i am a nintendo guy first and sega is a closeclose second but with all there stupid addons and sega saturn bullshit they made it clear why people should stick with nintendo or sony throughtout the 90's the dreamcast was a great system and will always be one but the fact that early in the consoles life you could burn games to a cd, and no dvd player

  • @Minority119 My CD Burner Failed Dream cast..Was crazy you could just rip a DC game put it on a CDR and it ran....probably helped Sega with the lack of profit saying most of their games were on rom sites while the console was new... ><

  • sony sucks

  • @jacksonhero625 you suck...

  • Man.. Dreamcast, one of the world's greatest consoles until the playstation 2 rudely kicked it out of the market

  • i got a dreamcast today

  • O.M.G!!! It was announced on my exact birth day!!!

  • getting a dreamcast tomarow

  • just wanted to correct a few mistakes you made. 1. The Dreamcast did not use "double density CD"S) a DD-CD is different than a GD-ROM. A GD-ROM is a normal CD that uses a special burner that packs the bits more tightly by spinning the disc at 12x but burning the bits at a higher speed. a GD-ROM holds 1GB of data while DD-CD is a completely different format that a normal CD reader cant read. it holds 1.4gb. 2. PS2 uses DVD's, and cant read DL DVDs. only the ps3 and 360 can, its a new(er) format.

  • I wish irrational went ahead with the system shock 2 dreamcast port,one of the best consoles ever made deserves the best game ever made.

  • BLAME SONY FOR KILLING OFF SEGA'S CONSOLES!

  • me and my brother used to fight over who would get to play dreamcast good times :D

  • yeah really convincing with the mario theme as background music ;)

  • my gramma has a dreamcast

  • allthough those dbz games are the shit

    rip dreamcast i got one but i need to find it

  • i would buy a dreamcast but its to hard to find games and well thats why i wont buy one

  • @Link00065 Hard to find games ?!?! That's Bullshit

  • @Sheepy007 not i have a shopping center very close to my house with 3 game shops none of them do dreamcast games

  • I saw a working dreamcast for $20 but my $100 playstation 2 scratched up all my games

  • @evilmonkeyman289 I have never heard anyone say that a ps2 does that

  • @Ohsta6t2 3d0 atari jaguar amiga cd32 and about 8 others... ya i am a damn nerd

  • dont ever bash dbz games they kick ass (no offence)

  • @Ohsta6t2 i know but im just saying normal people say seg-uh kiss ass' say say-ga

  • @Ohsta6t2 everybody says seg-uh thats how its spelled sega not sayga

  • @Ohsta6t2 the dreamcast could render more than 3 million polygons as was shown in test drive le mans which pushed nearly 6 million polygons a second, while no ps2 game came even close to showing 15 million polygons a second. meaning sony were a bunch of liars and mislead everyone. in the end the ps2 was barely any more powerful than dc, on paper it looked like much but in reality it wasn't realistic the claims by any means

  • ps2 is biggest lie ever. internet support was bullshit 60 million polygons per second was bullshit

  • <=*^( RIP good sega. Say hello to piece of crap Sega <=*^( still crying

  • interesting fact about the sega saturn: when SEGA announced the release of sega saturn at E3 on May 11th they said that it was going to come out on the original release date but it turned out the saturn was coming out THAT DAY they announced it and was considered one of the worst plot twist ever at E3

  • @leafar1212 it from the back to the future game

  • can someone please tell me what game the theme song from this video is from?

  • @RadRetroReviews expensive

  • I don't have a dreamcast, but i think it'd be cool if someone burned a godzilla fighting game for the dreamcast.

  • SEGA has been around for AGES

  • Bernie Stolar was and is a moron because of him none of the 2D RPGs from Japan came to the USA because he was pro 3D and hated RPGs and with him at SEGA we didn't get any 2D or 3D RPGs Saturn or Dreamcst which in my opinion would have helped both system sell better like the Playstation did since it had tons of 2D and 3D RPGs games from Japan to help sell it. Also Bernie almost sank Sony when he work for them too.

  • sega should make another console it would kick ass

  • @beastglitcher24 they cant because their not that kind of company anymore, their only making games now :(

  • Why would ass holes like IGSRJ say the dreamcast is a peace of shit?

  • i mean look at it, i loved this stuff... <_<...yeah... (¬_¬)

    made this vid a lot more lulzy! very funny

  • I've made a few home made games for the dream cast

  • Ever since the release of the system I've wanted a Dreamcast.Even though it's 10 years later I still want one because of the awesome arcade-like games.

  • Awesome of you to make a SEGA history video while playing Nintendo Mario music in the background

  • I feel like that's the Theme from Gettysburg...

  • Like I always say REAL gaming consles died after dreamcast and I think it's really because of the Internet connections and games like call of duty that brought real gaming consles down

  • doesnt really matter now.. sony, nintendo and mircosoft are the 3 leading game systems out there now..

  • We need a Dreamcast 2
