Speaking of Dreamcast - never seen it or its games in the store (only ever saw Playstation, N64 and Game Boy lol) and I've only heard about the system on forums , several years after its demise lol Looking at its library of games and controller, its more of a worse WiiU (in terms of popularity and value) than what people would consider a cult classic console like Xbox or Gamecube. |
DC is better than Wii U. It has a great library of fighting games and shmups and games in general. One of the best launch lineups in console history was considered that then and many years after. It's much more loved than Wii U. One of the best systems ever often on ranking lists, despite its short lifespan of 3 years. Not to mention, its hardware was used in NAOMI, and how many amazing games came out of that. DC was well ahead of its time in many concepts. It had an online focus. First console MMO. Used a windows Kernal to make porting PC games easier. DC had better-looking versions of arcade games like Soul Calibur. First console with a webcam. DC is still widely beloved and still getting new games to this very day from fans. Its last official game was released in 2007. DC was everywhere in stores. I could not go into a mall without 9.9.99 at 199 posters on Software ETC, Babbages, and such. Had a lot of hype behind it. Out of the gate it broke sales records but as PS2 hype started to rise and so did SEGA's financial problems. Sales bottomed out. That said, fans have Dreamcast game online servers up and running right now.
