"No DreamCast Classic: You Motherfuckers Had Your Chance to Buy One the First Time"

[flashman92]

Assuming we ignore most games that got a recent port, what would the 20 games be? It would mostly be Sega and Capcom games

Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 or both (Just cuz)
Skies of Arcadia
Chu Chu Rocket
Power Stone 1 or 2 or both
Legacy of Kain
Dynamite Cop 2
VF3
Fighting Vipers 2
Heavy Metal
Ikaruga or Gigawing 2
A proper release of Propeller Arena
Project Justice
Code Veronica or Blue Stinger or Ill Bleed
Fur Fighters or Outtrigger
Cannon Spike
Some Racing game (Maybe San Francisco Rush 2049)
Virtua Tennis
Cosmic Smash
Rayman 2
Zombies Revenge

Sega Swirl (Bonus game)
A translated version of Segaga (Crazy Wish)
Typing of the Dead is unlocked if you plug in a USB keyboard

And if we do include ported games then of course games like Space Channel 5, Rez, and Jet Set Radio get included.

Games that I want that no one else wants

Charge and Blast
Twinkle Star Sprites
Puyo Puyo Fever
Bangai O

 

[Ushay]

Hey I did my part. Bought a Dreamcast with Power Stone and Shenmue!

 

[Smoshow]

I recently pulled my DC out of storage. None of my tvs have VGA and the component cables look bad on my HD TV. What should I do?

 

[PSqueak]

the guy sounds so bitter and and angry that i can't tell if it's a legit fanboy or satire.

 

[neon_dream]

Too much attitude: Check
Poorly thought out: Check
Hasbeen: Check
Chilidogs: Check

Yeah, that's Sonic.

 

[tunnel visionary]

Is there anything left from the DC catalog that hasn't been ported and improved upon?

The best thing about the Dreamcast was that I didn't have to go to the movie theater to play Crazy Taxi. Also it was pretty much a 1:1 port unlike the inferior PS2 version. It's still the best iteration of it as far as I'm aware.

 

[PyroPaperPlanes]

But what about the Sega Pico Classic?
Sonic, please give me another chance...

...I would love this.

 

[DarknessTear]

I got a Dreamcast long after it was dead. All I remember about it is the d-pad on the controller destroyed my thumb when I played Guilty Gear X.

 

[jakomocha]

I'm sorry I was negative eleven days old when the Dreamcast came out, should've bought one from the womb

 

[RNGesus]

I had a launch day Dreamcast. Made my very firsts posts on IGN with it. I should have kept it but I got dumb and sold it a long time ago.

 

[legacyzero]

Quality shitpost, 10/10

Lmao this. So true

 

[IrishNinja]

man i love me some cosmic smash

Why would I buy a console with a controller that awful?

yeah after the GOAT Saturn model 2 pad it was a huge step back...like i get the need for the VMU slot but the cable placement & ergonomics were not good

Lol dreamcast, it was boring then and it is boring now

if you find such an incredible library (from a few short years) boring you either didn't explore it or are, yourself, boring

 

[Seven Force]

Man I miss UK resistance

What a site that was

A lot of people showing their ass with garbage taste, btw

 

[SG-17]

Would a Dreamcast Classic just come with a bunch of blank CD-Rs?

 

[Piggychan]

for several years this was my digital crack

 

[John Rabbit]

Cringe-worthy.

Just like the Dreamcast, I guess.

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately die?

 

[IrishNinja]

I'm sorry I was negative eleven days old when the Dreamcast came out, should've bought one from the womb

u could've tried

Lmao this. So true

sonic spent nearly 2 decades trying to tell y'all these facts nicely

Man I miss UK resistance

What a site that was

A lot of people showing their ass with garbage taste, btw

BLUE SKIES FOREVER~
words to live by

 

[WarRock]

Dreamcast is overhyped on the internet.

Well, I bought one around 2010 and disagree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Power Stone is a blast with friends; everybody is impressed with SoulCalibur; Skies of Arcadia, JSR and Shenmue rocked my world; Ikaruga is cool; Project Justice is one of my favorite fighters ever; Virtua Tennis is amazing.

 

[Driggonny]

Dreamcast classic would finally be one of these mini consoles I'd *actually* want to buy D:

 

[Minionite]

I'd be there day 1 (like I was on 9/9/99). My wishlist:

1. Crazy Taxi
2. Sonic Adventure
3. Sonic Adventure 2
4. Power Stone (1 or 2)
5. Virtua Fighter 3
6. Sega Rally 2
7. Virtua Tennis

15. Metropolis Street Racer
16. Ikaruga
17. House of the Dead 2
18. Dynamite Cop
19. Chu Chu Rocket
20. Street Fighter Alpha 3 (or SF3)

 

[Commander Kook]

I was there on 9/9/99, midnight launch even! Was there with my three best friends waiting it out in the cold.

Anyone living in central California at that time might remember the great storm that came that night, the one where lightning struck a tree in the Los Padres forest and it didn't stop burning for weeks. We thought the night was ruined when the Software Etc we had our preorders at lost power, forcing the employees to handwrite each and every transaction. It took forever, and people were getting quite upset.

Finally after hours of waiting I got home and played Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure for hours, then slept for a couple more and went to school. Longest school day of my life.

Honestly it was a great and fun experience, and I have a lot of fond memories tied to the Dreamcast. I wish they would release a classic system as I'd be all over that.

 

[Pagusas]

Why do you guys have to be so cringe-inducing :(

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Heh, Hard Drive is great. Saw this thread earlier and had an urge to visit UKResistance, Good to see i'm not alone in that :)

Loved the Dreamcast but that controller was a travesty. I know i didn't find it that bad years ago but i uncovered one the other day and all the memories came back. Forget Nintendo thumb, Dreamcast Thumb was worse! So many great games though and i still want to drag out my Samba De Amigo mat & Maracas again sometime even though the sensitivity and recognition of your movements can be dreadful when you get a bit too enthusiastic.

Blue Skies Forever indeed.

 

[Boss-]

I brought 2 Sonic. I had to invest in another after your controller ports failed me. FAILED ME DURING A LATE NIGHT RAID IN PSO. Thanks for nothing Sonic.

 

[Regulus Tera]

The Dreamcast had good games but I was never going to pay full price for a system whose controller looked like that.

 

[Shpeshal Ed]

He's right you know

 

[Rosebud]

But I was 3 years old :(

 

[Premium]

Well I chuckled

 

[Galactor]

If you never used the vga adapter to pñay virtua tennis on a huge projector screen you are already dead

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Cringe-worthy.

Just like the Dreamcast, I guess.

So, do you feel bad?

You should feel bad.

 

[NoKisum]

Honestly for me at this point, the moment Sega and Capcom respectively port the Sonic Adventure games and Mars Matrix to the Switch, I have no reason to go back to the original system.

 

[Qwark]

I know it won't happen, but I would hope a hypothetical classic would include a lightgun to play all of those arcade shooters that are no longer playable on modern tv's, and a microphone for Seaman.

 

[Veliladon]

tfw you spent way too much money importing the Japanese PSOv2 to play online with all your friends back when it was current.

I miss you Dreamcast.

 

[@ShenmueGuru]

From the launch, to the Official Dreamcast Magazine and its demo discs, the start of the modern day internet surfing, the VMU, keyboard, light gun, a games library that was so good it hurt....

No console will ever replicate the sheer emotions the Dreamcast induced for me. It really was one of those times in gaming where you had to have been there, at just the right age. That's why it will always be remembered as something very special.

 

[Ant_17]

I get that's its satire, but that is some ancient butthurt over the ps2.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Shitpost/10

 

[IrishNinja]

Why do you guys have to be so cringe-inducing :(

why are only the herbs cringing =\

If you never used the vga adapter to pñay virtua tennis on a huge projector screen you are already dead

damn, that must've been a sight. i played power stone 2 that way once and it was insane

still hope to take part in a 10 player Saturn bomberman game like that one day

Honestly for me at this point, the moment Sega and Capcom respectively port the Sonic Adventure games and Mars Matrix to the Switch, I have no reason to go back to the original system.

yeah Mars matrix not being ported around like ikaruga is such a huge loss honestly

I get that's its satire, but that is some ancient butthurt over the ps2.

i mean, we all had PS2's and everyone knows Sega killed Sega

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

I was there and that first year the DC got glorious arcade ports (many of them pretty much perfect) and plenty of solid third party games.

Sure, the Mega Drive/Genesis is overall the better system but given the respective lifespans of the consoles, that's to be expected.

9/9/99 was amazing. Soul Calibur being better than the arcade! And man I loved me some Hydro Thunder.

 

[Brunire]

The third party output on the DC for that first year was sublime.

And getting all those arcade fighters that were damn-near pixel-perfect ports was truly awesome.

This. For any fan of arcades at the time the Dreamcast truly was a dream come true.

 

[Ceadeus]

an important message from your pal Sonic




truth to power here

Spoiler

Best message ever. But yeah in 1999 I was 11 years old. It is kind of the reason I could not live its glory.

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

I got mine in 98, too. Y'all 99 adopters were LTTP.

Nah, you were waiting for games to play lol

 

[Big One]

I do wonder how well a Dreamcast mini would do with full online server support via wifi/ethernet.

 

[Air]

I would buy a dreamcast classic day 1

 

[AtomicShroom]

Even if there was one, if you expect a ~$99 price point, we’re at least 5 years away from having hardware powerful enough to emulate a Dreamcast for that price.

 

[bionic77]

This. For any fan of arcades at the time the Dreamcast truly was a dream come true.

It was great for anyone who liked gaming.

Even for sports fans NBA2k was the most innovative sports game in a long time when it came out.

Skies was an amazing rpg adventure. So was Grandia (though not as good as skies).

Some parts of shenmue fell flat but it was the most advanced game out for years to come.

Crazy Taxi was fun for anyone with a pulse. Along with a lot of other great games.

And as you said a ton of arcade ports and fighters.

It was just a great almost two years for DC owners.

 

[neon/drifter]

Lmao. I love my dreamcast.

 

[FreeMufasa]

 

[ResilientBanana]

I think where they went wrong is, they released the Sega Genesis, Game Gear, 32X, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and the Sega Dreamcast in such a short period of time I don't think anyone had the time or money to keep up. When the Dreamcast came around, I think people didn't want to feel like they got burned with a console purchase that could be obsolete within 2 years

 

[VanDoughnut]

Lol sonic went in!

Deservedly so.
Hopefully we get a Dreamcast classic anyway.

 

[Orochinagis]

KOF 99 on Dreamcast had 3D backgrounds I wish I could play that version again
