It's that time of year again where that little white box that represented all of Sega's hopes and dreams (as well of its fans') is nearing the anniversary of its North American release. And once again, I celebrate it in style by bringing as much as I can to the table in honor of the little sucker's memory.
Last year, I made a tribute video and recorded footage of the Dreamcast games that contained DLC, years before it became a standard. Most of that DLC ended up being lost and not even used in their current day ports (Sonic Adventure and Samba de Amigo being the notable ones). This year, I'll be doing the same thing by touching up on the games I left out in the last tribute and the DLC videos, but I'll also be adding a bit more than just that.
So I figured, why not start a conversation about it here?
It seems like whether you owned one or not, most people remember the Dreamcast with a sort of fondness, as well as sadness and are generally puzzled by why exactly it even went away. Unlike most other failed consoles, the Dreamcast seems to be the only one that didn't have anything genuinely wrong with it.
What are everyone's thoughts about the Dreamcast? Any fond memories or anything like that? Favorite games? Regrets about it?
Also, here's a look at the tribute vid I mentioned before:
