Power Stone was the go to party game, just invite a few friends over and take turn beating the crap out of each other.
Nothing like dodging a chair thrown at you, stopping your friend from getting a Power Stone on the map and transforming into a beacon of ass kicking badassness.
A must have for anyone with a Dreamcast.

SEGA Memories: Remembering the launch of the Dreamcast

(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DopeyThreadbareAmericancicada-size_restricted.gif)

Quote
I don’t think I’m overreacting when I say that the Dreamcast had the best game US launch line-ups ever.
Sadly, the Japanese got screwed over with Pen Pen Trilcelon, Godzilla Generations, July, and a bad port of Virtua Fighter 3tb.
But we here in the US, well we got lucky, SEGA announced they would be launching with 19 games that you would be able to pick up day one!

The Untold Story Of The Bug That Almost Sank The Dreamcast's North American Launch

(https://i.imgur.com/aiUqdu5.gif)

Quote
Former Sega tech staffer John Byrd discusses a bug which, he claims, has never been spoken about before now.
Days before the machine's North American launch in September 1999, he was getting feedback from journalists that certain games were causing their Dreamcast consoles to crash randomly, and that the games in question were all created by the publisher Midway.
While only Midway's games were encountering the crash, if Byrd couldn't find out exactly what was causing it, there was the danger that it could potentially be present in other launch games – or future ones.

Recently someone hacked Capcom and got terabytes upon terabytes of hidden company data, including the source code to a lot of Capcom games.
It looks like the hackers will slow drip information on Capcom games and one of the new updates is some of the games that the company is working on.
One of the big ones that most SEGA fans will be into is a ‘Power Stone Remake’ which was slated to release in Q3 2024, so years off.

Rez Producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi Working on
a “New Adventure with Synesthesia” with Enhance Games

While Mizuguchi’s works have focused on music-puzzle games, he has also been the producer on a hack and slash game (Ninety Nine Nights), and several racing games (Sega Rally Championship, Manx TT Superbike, and Sega Rally 2).
As such, when Mizuguchi says “adventure,” he may very well be hinting at the game’s genre.

Today, the DreamcasticChannel on YouTube (via Kotaku) is showcasing an unreleased tech demo from the year 2000 for a title tentatively called “The Simpsons: Bug Squad!”
It’s from the long-defunct Red Lemon Studios, and it’s remarkable how much the game’s cel-shaded graphics look like the show.

By scooping out the insides and replacing them with a color screen and a Raspberry Pi Zero, the makers of the Circuit Gem have kept the classic design while enabling support playing games designed for the NES, SNES, Game Boy Advance, Sega Game Gear, Mega Drive, and Master System, and other game consoles.
Before pulling out your wallet to buy one though, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Its interesting because they really got the game to resemble the original game in tone of colors but the art style that has now become signature Lizardcube is still there.
I think they did a good job of having a great blend and personally would be stoked if Lizardcube made Garou: Mark of Wolves 2.

Back in 2018, SEGA hit a milestone as a company when on December 18 they had been in the third party business for as long as they were in the first party home console business.
Some fans have clung onto those early days, bemoaning what has since become of the company, though if you have been following SEGAbits for the past ten plus years you’d know that while we have fond memories of those glory days we believe SEGA is still a great company.

Two Elementary School Students Who Met Through the Dreamcast’s Online Service are Reunited 20 Years Later:
The Full Story of this Miracle


(https://s20.directupload.net/images/210429/ugf675kx.jpg)

Quote
The two became friends through chatting on the Dreamcast online service nearly 20 years ago.
The console was equipped with a standard telephone line-based modem for gaming, browsing the web, email, and of course group chats.
Akira and miho were both very into chatting, using the handles “Rena” and “Hina” respectively.

Happy 22 Years Anniversary for Akihabara Dennou-gumi Pata Pies !

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/5/53/ADKPP_DC_JP_Box_Front.jpg/605px-ADKPP_DC_JP_Box_Front.jpg)

Quote
A breeding game based by a popular SF school comedy serialized in Kodansha’s shojo manga magazine “Nakayoshi” and aired on TV anime.
The player is a first-year student attending Akihabara Junior High School.
The purpose is to expand the friend network by letting your pet robot “PataPi” play with your friend PataPi in the game.
By “playing” with friends, a fun cartoon-style event occurs.
Sub-events such as receiving e-mail are also available.
It also supports visual memory, and you can enjoy mini-games where PataPi gives you “fortune-telling” and “tell you”.

Digital Eclipse is looking into re-releasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 following online campaign from Maximilian

Stephen Frost, executive producer for Digital Eclipse, said that he "would love to work on an updated release of MvC2."
This of course is still far from a guarantee that it'll end up happening, but maybe with enough support and noise we can help it become so though it'd be premature to start celebrating now given the series' complicated history.

Nobody is really sure what to make of this at the time of writing, as Luigi is (and always has been) Nintendo's intellectual property.
It's likely some sort of joke or perhaps he was even a placeholder - but it's certainly there and we're guessing this was never intended to be shown outside the walls of Sega.

It's the earliest example of good party brawl game, people have fond memories of it.
Especially if the game was played with family or friends, the nostalgia factor would be more impactful.
Just like Super Smash Bros, the fighting game's was designed to multiple people playing together.

Power Stone 3 does indeed need to happen.
But no representative in MvC series was kinda sign how Capcom think about the series.
Capcom now had stuck to Street Fighter and Monster Hunter.
Even I as Darkstalkers fan, that its characters got representative in MvC series, already gave up my hope on Darkstalkers' sequel.

Maybe they regard it too kiddy of a fighting game to take seriously? Despite that Smash Bros ain't all blood and muscle-rippled men (most of the time).

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega

"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

How did characters like Ruby Heart, Amingo, Cable and Marrow come to join Marvel vs. Capcom 2's iconic roster?

(https://c.tenor.com/BfldKvRCF2IAAAAC/capcom-marvel-vs-capcom.gif)

Quote
"As for Amingo, we noticed the Capcom side didn't have any non-human characters capable of really crazy movements, so he was designed in order to fulfill that role," continued Nakae.
The developers also wanted a brand new character to serve as one of the game's protagonists similarly to how Ryu and Cyclops were poised before, which is where Ruby Heart came in.

Originally released back in June 2000, Marvel 2 continues to grip the attention of fighting game community members and fans everywhere, with initiatives to see it make a return still going around right now.
Even buying disc only, you're looking at somewhere between $110 - $130 for this gem, but if you're a completionist and want the whole enchilada — game, case, manual, and registration card — you can expect to pay upwards of $200 (as much as $250 in some cases).

It's demonstrated during the short clip that Psylocke is capable of hitting all 3 level 1 hypers together in a single combo without assistance from other characters.
Her level 3 hyper creates illusion shadows that mimic the properties of her attacks, but all of their attacks can be blocked as mids to prevent solo unblockables.

Castlevania: Resurrection prototype for Dreamcast unearthed after 22 years

Back when the SEGA Dreamcast came out, there were a lot of games that never got actual releases.
Over the years some of these games leaked and fans have been able to experience “what could have been”.
Now, 22 years after its initial reveal, Castlevania: Resurrection for Dreamcast has finally had its prototype leaked to a French Dreamcast preservation website.

Damn, Agartha looked beautiful. I'm imagine it was an adventure treasure hunting game like Tomb Raider but perhaps with some survival elements.. though survival games did not had a well known scene back then so Agartha might had been Sega's idea for a Tomb Raider answer.

Dunno much about Castlevania but it looks good. Reminds me of that N64 game I only played a bit of.

I imagine Geist Force was Sega's "answer" to StarFox.

I played a lot of Half-Life, so dunno how to comment that.

I wonder how that Emulator would of worked? Like, would it come with some sort of cartridge port?

I guess a generic dogfighting game? I dunno enough about planes to comment. Though would of been cool if the Tornado was an unlockable plane.

If I had to guess, Scud Racer would of probably been a cross between Daytona USA and F-Zero.

Indeed. The title alone isn't interesting, but the game turned out to be cool.

I wonder how that Emulator would of worked? Like, would it come with some sort of cartridge port?

I think the emulator was first meant to be used by SEGA themself.
The one in SEGA Smash Pack.
But then came out the idea,
since it could be used to play other Mega Drive games too,
then why not showing them to third party companies?
In case they wanted to make their own (officially released) Smash Pack
(Capcom Smash Pack, Namco Smash Pack, Taito Smash Pack, etc)

Yuji Naka Killed "Dreamcast's Star Fox" (Geist Force), Says Former Sega Producer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DTULx8RvME

Quote
The game in question is Geist Force, a Star Fox-style on-rails shooter which was first shown at E3 1998, prior to the Dreamcast's release in Japan.
The game was intended to be a launch title for North America, and prior to Subotnick's recent revelation, was believed to have been cancelled due to a lack of confidence in the game, missed deadlines and disagreements within the development team.
According to Subotnick, this isn't the whole picture.

Quote
"Reicast was a dreamcast emulator (2013 - 2021), derived from the nullDCe codebase
Reicast was maintained by Stefanos Kornilios Mitsis Poiitidis, and received several contributions from other developers over its lifetime
Reicast is now discontinued, due to large part on the libretro drama/fork of 2019, general community toxicity around emudev and open source, lack of interested developers and a wish on skmp's part to move on with other projects in his life.
We hope we brought you back fond memories, and/or that you got to experience the magic of the Dreamcast through this project :)
There are several other actively developed Dreamcast Emulation projects, with at least one of them a derivative of Reicast, which you can use."

The new Crazy Taxi has already been in development for over a year and the Tokyo-based entertainment group aims to release it within two to three years, the people said, asking not to be named as the information is not yet public.
It was named alongside Jet Set Radio in Sega’s annual report a year ago on a list of intellectual property assets that Sega wanted to recapitalize by bringing them up to date.
Both new games are in the early stages of creation and could still be canceled, the people said.

Wait... so Sega is coming to Fortnite? I dunno how I feel about that. ANd I'm not talking about the fact I just don't find the game that interesting to play.

From what I heard Fortnite is trying to be it's own Disney or something by collecting as many IPs as it can to adapt into it's own universe for marketable means. So I dunno how I feel about Sega giving Fortnite some of it's characters.

No.. no.. You misread the title.
SEGA is inspired to follow Fortnite's recipe for success.

Fortnite has become the role model for many game companies : free to play, it’s available across platforms, hosts large multiplayer contests and includes extras like vehicles, construction and social events on top of the usual combat, spurring player purchases of in-game items.
That's why they prepare Super Game initiative, with online version of Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio as the first entries.

The Simpsons Road Rage was a definite copy, but it sort of had the right idea.

I really do think that Crazy Taxi’s gameplay is fun and I definitely believe that it demonstrates pretty brilliant arcade game design. …That’s the thing: we’re dealing with an incredibly fun gameplay experience that desperately needs a game to be built around it.
Though Simpsons: Hit and Run may not have been considered a classic, it actually did a great job of taking the Crazy Taxi formula and putting it into an actual game. Once you did well enough in one level (a portion of Springfield), you’d unlock another level, which was a different part of the city, and so on.
This brought to the table a feeling of progression, something I think Crazy Taxi could use.

A Crazy Taxi game based on a rip off of a Crazy Taxi game? Why not at this point. =P
Does make me wonder if they'll consider a competitive multiplayer modes.
Or if they consider a story mode, how will that work?

A  multiplayer mode may where there is a competition on who could make most money on some period of time, or who brought the most passengers, or just simply racing between two cars (but that will be boring).

Story mode would need enemies or rivals... Because if the story's just an endless business management simulator like Crazy Taxi Tycoon (https://segabits.com/blog/2018/02/28/crazy-taxi-gazillionaire-changes-its-name-to/), it wouldn't be interesting at all for people who crave suspense and drama in the story.

Hm... remember Die Hard with a Vengence from the Saturn game Die Hard Trilogy (https://diehard.fandom.com/wiki/Die_Hard_Trilogy)? What if a story mode had something like that? Taxi drivers who have to make a living while also assign jobs to ram stuff and make them explode. Maybe an enemy coroprate... or just Uber drivers or something.

Competitive mode, I can imagine 2-6 drivers driving around the city. The aim of the game is to make more money than your competitors and ramming them is fairplay.

Publisher Tate Multimedia has announced that Kao (pronounced K-O, by the way) the Kangaroo will be launching on Switch on May 27th, 2022.
First available on the SEGA Dreamcast in 2000, the series went dormant in 2005 after the launch of Kao the Kangaroo: Mystery of the Volcano on Windows.
The new game looks to reboot the franchise with fresh visuals in Kao's biggest adventure yet.

I wouldn't go that far to make them spies, espionage or anything. Or at least they will occaisonally work for some law enforcement. Like some of your passengers to pick up can either be a cop, a terrorist or thrill seekers that will ask for an objective other than a destination. Such as "Stop that car!" or "Crash into that!" or "Drive off this ramp!" sort of thing.

As for a proper story, I dunno. I imagine most taxicab businesses hate Uber (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber) so maybe a parody of Uber (I'm thinking "Oobre") made into an antagonist.

Yukawa Moto Senmu no Otakara Sagashi - English Translation Patch

(https://www.romhacking.net/translations/dc/images/6507screenshot1.png)

Quote
Former Managing Director Hidekazu Yukawa has lost his promotional Dreamcast material that he can’t possibly show to the public! It’s up to the player, unnamed Sega fan, to help him and search for his missing items! For some unknown reason, they’ve been split into six parts each, so here’s a shovel and good luck!!

Yukawa’s Treasure Hunt was a promotional game near the Dreamcast’s launch where players who solved a weekly puzzle between March 20th, 1999 and April 11th, 1999 could submit their victory online and be entered into a raffle. That raffle has long ended, so the servers do not work, but the game itself stands as an interesting piece of history.

The game is fully playable in English, including the VMU minigame, though a few menu times are missing translations. The README has a short glossary to reference.

Yep. Simpsons Hit & Run maybe a knock-off of Crazy Taxi but it had good idea that Crazy Taxi didn't do. If a new Crazy Taxi game had passengers that give objectives other than drop-off points it would certainly make the game more crazy.

Like, imagine if one of your passengers was one of these guys (https://postal.fandom.com/wiki/Terrorists) and they tell you to find a specific phone box, parked car or other street-side object and to ram it to cause an explosion... and depending on how fast you get to the target and how quick to make it explode they will give you the wage for it.
Or if one of your passengers is a police officer and they say "Follow that car!" and you must tail them to a certain location or something like that.
Or passengers who simply ask you to do stunts for them or jump off ramps and such and will pay if they're satisfied.

These kind of passengers can take up a third of regular passengers who want to go somewhere.

Yes, that's gonna be interesing, unique passengers with strange requests.
Just like on Elite Beat Agents,
then the story could be about the clients/passengers, not about the agents/taxi drivers.

You drive up to a passenger who turns out to be a grey alien wearing a hospital gown.

"Get me away from those black cars!"

Thus you must survive a high-speed chase throughout the city for a time limit and if you surpass the time limit without your taxi being pinned or destroyed the alien will give you a taxi fare.

I don't think a "good/bad gauge" would be needed. I mean I liked how Sega would put intricate effort of side details to a game, such as lives and society of Nightopians being subtly effected by how you play NiGHTS games, but for a Crazy Taxi game, I think it should be like Postal II (https://postal.fandom.com/wiki/POSTAL_2), a game where the town gets more crazier as it goes along.

It's developed and published by Capcom afterall.
But it was exclusive to Dreamcast so I understand if people misremember it as SEGA's.

I knoew Sparkster and Earthworm Jim were not SEGA franchises. I figured Cooking Mama was Nintendo given not just because she debuted on Nintendo consoles but looks like something from WarioWare or Rhythm Heaven in design.

And probably also because Cooking Mama is a family friendly game series.
SEGA also has games that looks like WarioWare or Rhythm Heaven in design,
but since they're not really family friendly games they won't be misremembered even though they're on NDS.

Capcom's Dino Crisis coming to PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog, PlayStation Store banner suggests

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/2/25/DinoCrisis_DC_US_Box_Front.jpg/601px-DinoCrisis_DC_US_Box_Front.jpg)

Quote
Users can see the banner by logging into an Asia-based PlayStation Network account with PlayStation Plus benefits on a PlayStation 5, as Asia is currently the only region where the new service is available, and accessing the “PlayStation Plus” section of “Game Library.”
Despite Regina being featured in the banner, Dino Crisis is currently not available as part of the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog, which features emulated PlayStation classics playable on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Rub Rabbits doesn't look WarioWare or Rhythm Heaven in design to me, though it is likely inspired by the micro-game genre that WarioWare is known for.

Graphically no, but gameplay it's kinda the same in core : collection of mini games.
Same thing to some of Rabbids games.
Games with this genre are mostly on Nintendo platform.

Kao The Kangaroo Artist Talks Redesigning A Mascot For The Modern Age

Kao has grown up. Almost. He is older now, for sure, but not much; just more stubborn, mouthy, and youthfully brave.
He was never a superhero, but rather an adventurous kid with pure motivations, and we wanted to keep it this way.

Dreamcast version of the game is what made him popular back then.

I just didn't had that game for the Dreamcast. I knew of Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, heck even Ty the Tazmanian Tiger. Just never heard of this kangaroo. To me he seems like he was inspired by Crash and Ty.

I never played their games back then when SEGA's still console business,
they were never in SEGA consoles or arcade.
But I did recognize them from game magazines.
Especially from ads of them trying to be edgy or cool.

SEGA considered a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but it would have been "a difficult and expensive process"

(https://preview.redd.it/6pbiyq9jkul31.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=7a0a6c2ee22a68887915d6e52bae2ec09f81a7d4)

Quote
The company did "explore the idea" of a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but ultimately decided not to pursue it when Sega discovered manufacturing mini consoles had become more expensive post-pandemic (and post semiconductor shortage, of course).
Okunari added that the Mega Drive Mini's internals "can't adequately handle Saturn games", and manufacturing new chipsets would be prohibitively expensive, joking that if they'd proceeded with the idea, the cost of buying a Dreamcast of Saturn Mini could rival that of a modern-day console.
But because the Mega Drive Mini 2 was based upon the existing Mini hardware, it seemed more "manageable".

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/983188025712467969/RIP_Hidekazu_Yukawa.png)

Hidekazu Yukawa passed last June of pneumonia but his family kept the news private.
It is said he was sick for the past 5 years and was relaxing at home.

Those rumors on Hidekazu Yukawa, are they true?

About his death yes. Or is there any other rumour that I wasn't aware?

Just the rumour on his death. I hope he RIP. I remember his Japanese commercials how he strived for Dreamcast to succeed.

These Ken memes. Has Ken became poor or something?

Not confirmed yet, but judging from his unclean looks, he's either becoming poor or still rich but just don't want to stay in house anymore, becoming a street fighter literally.
According to the story leak, it's probably the later.
What's the point on going home if Eliza and Mel weren't there, for Ken his family used to be his everything, even the source of his strength.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/983924509373526026/Ken_leak.png)

This is anticlimatic since according to the official manga, in Street Fighter III Ken was the best character, he even could beat Gill.
He also beat Ryu when fighting in front of Mel because his love for family is source of his power (he usually tied or lose to Ryu if they're fighting alone).
After beaten by Ken, Ryu then had a new teacher (Oro) and becoming stronger he finally could defeat Akuma.
That's why Street Fighter VI's Ryu has a kinda similar appearance to Oro.
Street Fighter VI's happened after Street Fighter III btw, Street Fighter IV and V were happened before Street Fighter III.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c5/69/d5/c569d585cbd1bf4b590ccd9021c006de.jpg)

Ken's probably back on his feet again in Street Fighter VI ending but Americans do love a comeback story so may be that's why the meme is so popular.

I also thought Ken got really successful and settled for a material life while Ryu continued on with his vigorous training. In a way it exemplifies the difference in their moralities and interest but doesn't exemplifies a "one is right, one is wrong" choice of lifestyle between two who shared the same origins.

Yeah, but according to Akuma, Ken's way of embracing both training and material life is wrong.

"You are hindered by too many earthly attachments to ever be a complete fighter.
Is it a child? A woman?"
"Until you have nothing to lose, you will never fight without hesitation."

(https://i.ibb.co/5RkdBjz/Earthly-Attachment.jpg)

And somehow this was proven in SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos.

(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/6b/4e/de/6b4edefdb767fcf9da3e8a78d8d56071.jpg)

In that game (and comic version) there's a playable version of brainwashed Ken when he thought his wife and kid were dead.
With nothing to lose anymore, this Violent Ken is kinda a what if Ken's only walking in the training life.
The result is he's a lot stronger than the normal Ken but also more evil.

But if you think about it, Akuma's logic is only sound in Akuma's way. Yes he is correct to say that if he let go of his Earthly attachments he would be a more accomplished fighter, but it's also his Earthly attachments, that being his family and their wellbeing, is what both grounds him and give him strength.

When he thought his family was dead it looks like the Satsui no Hado got the better of him. So yes he's free from the burdens of family but also without the foundation they provided for him.

And of course, the "remove earthly attachments to be a better something or other" can be said for just about anything that involved enlightenment. As Avatar the Last Airbender has taught me, just because enlightenment means letting go of the things you love doesn't mean giving up on them or to no longer love them. Only then can you truly love when not tangled with obsession.

Akuma may sound convinced with his own thinking but the truth is he kinda also wanted to be proven wrong.
Akuma almost never smile or may be he never smile at all.
But he finally smile in the final battle with Ryu, when Ryu (afer become Oro's student) finally could beat him without Satsui no Hado.
It wasn't explained why he smiles though.

Still probably the strongest fighter in the Street Fighter series was Oro, strong enough to be Ryu's 2nd master.
He always restrict himself to fight with one hand (sealed the other one) so that others could have a chance in defeating him.

Did Oro let go of his earthly attachments too to become this strong?
Hard to tell.
While he's homeless and always train himself, he still enjoy watching beautiful girls and eating delicious food.

I always found the definition of "enlightment" an iffy deal to me. Don't get me wrong I'm sure it's as glorious as the monks and gurus say but it's like you have to give up most of your everything to be "enlightened" and "harmonized" which makes me ask what about self identity and personality? I mean yeah you're at ultimate peace of mind but when you let go of everything that grounds you what do you have left? Even if earthly attachments are regarded negative at least not everyone have the same attachments as everyone else. You know what I mean?

Then again, what do I know about enlightenment? I may be bound to my earthly attachments and personal vices but I am happy and at peace with how things are going for me.

Adyasanthi said Enlightenment is a destructive process.
It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier.
Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth.
It’s seeing through the facade of pretense.

Happy and at peace with current things.
In these modern times I think those are better than constantly struggling to find enlightment to the point it drives us crazy.
Time has changed a lot compared to the old times when human could live without identity or technologies.

Treasure Turns 30: Three Decades of Subverting Genres

Treasure might have made games for the hardcore devotee, but in actuality, their games are playable by anyone.
All that’s needed is the patience to learn the systems that differ so much from what many gamers were used to in more traditional takes on the genres Treasure was tackling.
Radiant Silvergun begins as a very difficult, very complicated game: give it the time it deserves, however, and the systems not only make sense, but reveal themselves to be both elegant and rewarding.

That's true. "Ignorance is bliss" is often regarded as foolish but at the same time it still has it's merits and comforts. I'd rather be ignorant at an on coming apocalyptic destruction that I have absolutely nothing to do about, that be aware everything and everyone I know will die.

Sound like Android 17 and her sister, Android 18, in Dragon Ball Super.
They just want to enjoy their life after becoming full human (their bombs got removed), not interested in saving/ruling the world or preventing the apocalypse.
They won't mind if the world came to end.
"If everyone gets erased because our heroes losing in Tournament of Power then it cannot be helped."

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/56/af/72/56af7251034fb9d067e291dacbba3b38.gif)

Goku has to convince or trick them to help him saving their universe in the Tournament of Power (the losing team would have their universe be erased).
Android 18 accepts after Goku lied to her and her husband, Krilin, about money being the prize.
Android 17 accepts to fight in the Tournament of Power after knowing Krillin will participate, as he feels he owes him a debt for asking Shenron to have their bombs removed.

In the end, surprisingly enough Android 17 is the winner of Tournament of Power,not Goku, not Freeza, not another stronger fighters from another universe.
He who at first doesn't give a damn about the fate of their universe make a sacrifice to save their universe.

They were more selfish than ignorant though.
If there was a meteor heading for Earth and I had the superpowers to stop it then I would. But if I was just as human as you and me and nothing can stop it then what's the point of knowing of our oncoming doom if it just makes our final hours full of misery and hopelessness?

The Androids simply believe "life is good enough as it is, why should I help save the world?" when logically if the world is doomed, so is their lives. They just figure "If you (Goku and his friends) can't do it then there's no point trying."
As the end of the Tournament of Power proves they made all the difference and they would of allowed the destruction of everything they attained if they just sit back and did nothing.

May be we don't even know ourselves, how good or bad we are, until we're being pushed in the corner or facing the pressure in the eyes.
Android 17 and 18 don't consider them as good guys, but then somehow they proved otherwise.
It's also thanks to Krilin though, he's the first one to show them kindness.

I've been busy for the past 72 days since my last update to the Nakoruru translation patch thread over on the Dreamcast-Talk forums.
The task? Implement a new, half-width font.
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm beaming with pride and joy right now.

Krilin is basically the strongest human on the earth.

Video game legend Bernie Stolar, former president of Sega of America, has passed away at the age of 75.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/990626140823617608/bernie-stolar.jpg)

Quote
I met him when he was president and chief operating officer of Sega of America, where he helped lead the development and launch of the Sega Dreamcast.
He was one of the more blunt and honest — as well as memorable — executives that I met in the game industry.
“When I got to Sega I immediately said, ‘We have to kill Saturn. We have to stop Saturn and start building the new technology.’
That’s what I did. I brought in a new team of people and cleaned house. There were 300-some-odd employees and I took the company down to 90 employees to start rebuilding,” Stolar said.
Stolar helped lead the development and launch of the Dreamcast.
One of Stolar’s top moves at the time was to acquire Visual Concepts for Sega of America and create 2K Sports.

I recall Playstation tried to make their own VMU. I dunno how well it caught on.

They did make one.
It's called Pocketstation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PocketStation).
Only released in Japan because Japanese did love this kind of Mini / Micro things
(Tamagotchi is the popular example).

Yesterday 22 years ago Seaman was released for the Sega Dreamcast in US.
Now that you have obtained your own Seaman egg, use the faithful recreation of Dr. Gasse's laboratory to follow in his footsteps, uncovering the secrets of the Seaman.
When the Seaman egg hatches, the adventure begins.

Chocobo World mini game.
It's like Chao but with Chocobo instead
and for collecting item instead of raising Chao.
This mini game compability of course was removed in Remastered or Port Version of FFVIII.

We either need Seaman 2, or remake both games as a combination.

Yoot Saito, the Seaman creato,r would love to but all decision is SEGA's.
He didn’t rule out a spiritual successor but said the average player isn’t ready for a brand-new genre.
Still at leats this year the franchise's back as ASMR (http://segabits.com/blog/2022/05/14/seaman-is-back-introducing-seaman-asmr/)

Yep, even me (as a VS fighting game lover that hate SEGA ditch the 6-buttons Saturn controller for VMU-based controller) have to embrace Dreamcast due to its glorious VS fighting game library :

Marvel vs Capcom 2
Super heroes are huge things in that era.
This game went crazy with having 56 playable characters.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/4b/9b/2e4b9bc47b6cf37501666d15dce32848.png)

Street Fighter III
IGN (https://sea.ign.com/dragon-ball-fighterz/188953/feature/the-10-best-fighting-games) said this is the best fighting game of all time.

(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/17/9c/01/179c011347eff95e2d5e10104ce41373--street-fighter-iii-daigo.jpg)

Virtua Fighter 3tb
One of Dreamcast (JP) launch games, becoming one of the best-selling Dreamcast games in Japan

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/2/2f/VirtuaFighter3tbDCUSInlay.jpg/767px-VirtuaFighter3tbDCUSInlay.jpg)

Soul Calibur

The first perfect 3D fighting game in console with incredibly smooth 60 frame per second game engine.

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a5/f2/cf/a5f2cfd299797400e18b383731a5a288--sega-dreamcast-console.jpg)

Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000
Capcom vs. SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting

Crossover of the best fighting game franchises.
It even has Millenium in it title to represents the era.

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/d/d7/CvS2_DC_JP_Box_front.jpg/600px-CvS2_DC_JP_Box_front.jpg)

Also of course Power Stone series.
The Dreamcast brawler that foresaw Fortnite and Overwatch (https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/aug/14/power-stone-sega-dreamcast-fortnite-overwatch).

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/73/62/2c/73622c02dc94839da89dab3571d5732a--action-game-video-games.jpg)

I could still go on with Guilty Gear X, Project Justice, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Dead or Alive 2, Garou: Mark Of The Wolves, etc... etc...
But the point is Dreamcast is a "Jack of All Trade" system (all genres are there) and somehow it could master them all.

I think Saito should at least consider remaking Seaman 1 first. And given Seaman 1 ends up your seaman leaving you for a jungle hidden behind the tank and clips of Seaman 2 taking place on a tropical jungle, I can imagine he can easily combine both games into one.

Though wouldn't be the sake without Nimoy.

If I'm not mistaken, he proposed one for Nintendo 3DS back then but SEGA said no.
Guess after that he just moved on and focus on something else.

The NDS or N3DS would of been ideal for Seaman due to the stylus and microphone.

I was thinking, what about Seaman for VR? Able to stand in the dark room with the tank, tap on the glass, talk to your fish, pick 'em up, feed 'em grubs etc.

Maybe add instruments and toys to entertain your seaman with.

If any third party company interested in publishing it, sure.
SEGA themself weren't interested in VR, it wasn't that popular in Japan.
Even Space Channel 5 VR, VR Figure From Shining, and the postponed Panzer Dragoon VR weren't published by SEGA.

It is dissapointing that the classic Sega games that are getting remakes are from third party developers and not Sega themselves. Like "I can't be bothered, you do it."

But it is nice Sega still putting their names on them and calling them legitimate, even if all they did was say yes.

Yeah, and I love that almost all of them are a success.
Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap, Streets of Rage 4, Monster Boy, Asha in Monster World, HotD Remake, and Panzer Dragoon Remake.
Especially The House of the Dead: Remake
It has earned the highest post-premiere sales revenue in Forever Entertainment's history thus far (https://twitter.com/wiki_dead/status/1559994248732319746), according to their Q2 2022 report.

Sadly the VR games aren't sold as good as them.
The reason is simple : the platform is too limited.
Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap, Streets of Rage 4, Monster Boy, Asha in Monster World, HotD Remake, and Panzer Dragoon Remake are multi platforms, available almost anywhere.

I believe there is high potential for the VR market, but I believe in order for their to be a successful market VR developers should consider marketing towards one another than competing towards one another.

Take Blade & Sorcery (https://store.steampowered.com/app/629730/Blade_and_Sorcery/) by WarpFrog for example. It's mostly a sandbox game. Just basic maps to fight in and that's that. Barely any story mode. That's because the developers have gone all in on the VR physics and gameplay being as realistic and as satisfactory as possible.

Then there's games like Corrupted Hospital (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1440870/Corrupted_Hospital__Part1/) and Silent Mansion (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1437030/Silent_Mansion__Part2/) by MINO ENTERTAINMENT INC. These VR games do have a decent story but the VR experience is horrible and in truth the developers are struggling with a small team.

Now instead of WarpFrog keeping their VR build to themselves while other VR games struggle with their own build, what if WarpFrog release their build on the Unity Asset Store? They can still put a price on it but allow other game developers to use it for their projects. That way developers like MINO could concentrate on the quality of their game more and simply download B&S VR Asset to build around it.

If VR developers help one another out than be competitive with one another, then the VR market can have a more sturdy leg to go on. And once the VR market is in full swing then these developers can go back to traditional competitive business.

On a Sega-related suggestion, this is why I believe Sega should consider a "Sega Superstars VR (https://sega.fandom.com/f/p/3100000000000000319)" game, a selection of Sega-themed games for VR, and maybe include some demo's to genuine Sega VR games.

This proposed adaptor was not meant to be a physical cable linking the two systems, like with the Neo-Geo Pocket Color-to-Dreamcast cable which did release.
Rather, this was a scanner that would be attached to the side port on a GBC, normally used for the multiplayer link cable.
This would scan the TV screen for special bar codes that would appear at certain points in the Sakura Wars Dreamcast remake, which would then unlock extra content in Sakura Wars GB.

I dunno who Picturestart are but judging by their website (https://www.picturestart.com/team/)... I still don't know.

It's more working with Erik Feig, rather than Picturestart.
He's more known than his company.
Btw.. Picturestart's also working on adaptations of Naruto and Borderlands

Pokemon is very popular.
Imagine what happened if there was an official VMU-based Pokemon game.

But why.. I don't like Naruto but I still would prefer if it's success and could help more anime (like Uncle from Another World) to be made live action...

If this was in VMU and could save Dreamcast back then I had no problem with it.
A little sacrifice to make SEGA still in console business.

I dunno, I mean, I think some anime is better off as anime and may not translate well into live-action.
There's a few reasons why Naruto never clicked well to me, why I find it an obnoxious, loud, colourful mess that's an insult to ninja culture. But not they're gonna put that colourful mess on the big screen. Good luck getting Sexy Technique (https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sexy_Technique) pass the "woke" audience.

I detest the thought of it... but the fact the GameCube did the exact same thing with Sega prooves it's success. But not like Nintendo needed Sega anyway.

Besides the VMU was still the more popular micro-handheld console over Pocket Pikachu and PocketStation.

Has Nintendo ever need anyone?
Other than 1995 (https://mdshock.com/2022/05/09/a-second-atari-shock-the-decline-of-the-16-bit-console-era/) and Wii U, it feels like they're always standing strong.

Pretty much yeah. I believe the only two reasons Nintendo only allowed Sega to release games on their console is because:
But way I see it, whenever Sega and Nintendo have a partnership, Nintendo is quick to push Sega down the stairs and when everyone asks, Nintendo just says how clumsy Sega is and that they had nothing to do with it.

The partnership they had during the Wii U is an example of this. If they were suppose to be partners, they would of helped one another out wouldn't they? But it seems the only favoured games out of the three that were collaborated were Sonic Lost World which many fans compared to Super Mario games, Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics which was half a Super Mario game and Rise of Lyric which Sega entirely got the blame for and no one blamed Nintendo over quality control. How is that a fair partnership where one partner gets all the praise and the other is treated as a fiasco? Nintendouche if you ask me.

  • Sonic is just as popular as Mario. Why have one major mascot on your console when you can have two of them? Profit off the Sega fans.
  • Sega and Nintendo have been rivals throughout the '90s and Nintendo technically won against Sega. The fans will regarded as in good grace to allow Sega to continue on their consoles over stomping them out. "Look how merciful and fair Nintendo are towards their competitor!"

Nintendo was busy with their own problems,
WiiU was disappointing when it's compared to Wii, 3DS, and their competitor.
They were busy trying to make WiiU relevant but failed over and over again.
Nintendo wasn't getting any praise too during this era.

But the partnership they had with Sega was big news at the time. If they were to have had helped Sega with quality control over their games then we would of had more quality games for the Wii U which would of improved the reputation of the console greatly.
Rise of Lyric was simply not meant for the Wii U due to it's different engine so the game was a rather brunt import and was mostly a rushed job built from the ground up. BigRedButton aren't entirely to blame given Sega bullied them into this production nightmare. And Nintendo was breathing down Sega's neck instead of intervening to help.

That's not how it worked.
They're not the publisher, they have no say in how the game be.
They helped with marketing and gave SEGA their IPs to use for DLCs.
That's it.

QC is another thing.
QC is usually just playing the game for an hour or so, if it's not buggy during that time then it's okay to be released.
Telling the game is bad, let alone intervening, is not part of the job, it could be interpreted as an insult to the publisher.

Isn't a publisher someone who puts the game out there? Nintendo "publish" the games on their console!
Nintendo are also game developers. They could of send someone to assist Sonic Team in the development. You know, as "partners" do when they "collaborate".

Instead it was more like "We will publish your three games as long as  your main installment to Sonic series practically worships Super Mario."

No, publisher is more than that.
They usually do the funding, worldwide licensing, rating approval process, and marketing.
Sometimes they take care of IPs too since maintaining IP is not cheap.
Developer only focus on one thing : making the game.

For example Demon Slayer game.
Aniplex and Cyberconnect could only do so much in Japan market.
They have no resources to release it worldwide.
That's where SEGA step in as publisher for worldwide release.

Unless SEGA asked for their help, they won't do that.
As I said before, Platform holder's suddenly interfering what the publisher do could be interpreted as an insult to the publisher.
This happened quite often with Sony lately with their new censorship policy.

I'd rather not talking bad about Boom franchise since it's kind of like adult talking bad about Barney, Paw patrols, or Thomas The Tank Engine.

Aaron already said Sonic Boom was supposed to be a branch of the franchise aimed at younger kids.
At Younger Kids.
Even in Japan they rename "Sonic Boom" title into "Sonic Toon" to make fans know that it's targeted for kids.

Oda said that the collaborative promotional posters featuring both SNK and Capcom games sold at EVO 2022 in August “reconfirmed” the public’s interest in a potential revival.
“We haven’t really talked in detail with anybody at Capcom about it. It might have come up as a vague comment.
However, we have a lot of experience (in crossovers) with things like Akuma and Geese in Tekken, Terry (Bogard) in Fighting EX Layer, Terry in Smash Bros., and Baiken in Samurai Showdown…"

I maybe an adult but I still think my criticisms are fair against Sonic Boom. Especially when comparing the story writing and comedy of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xjAcqjIMbU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xjAcqjIMbU)

Like Sonic Boom, AoSTH was more catered for younger audience in comparison to it's SatAM counterpart. Thus it used Looney Tunes=like slapstick humour while still having stories around adventure and heroics, two kinds of genre we rarely see combined in children cartoons back then.

To me, Sonic Boom "tries to be funny". It uses rather spontaneous humour in order to appeal to the audience in entertainment. Such as spontaneous dancing or trying to be the next meme for all the internet kiddies. It just didn't work. It just felt like dumb "shovel humour", just whatever funny to make kids laugh. The kind of shovel humour Teen Titans Go! is notorious for.

AoSTH, it was more fun to watch than funny but still had it's moments of humour that made it worth while. It silliness was not spontaneous and felt natural which complimented the overall comedy of the show.

Because of that, AoSTH became a great kids show for Sonic fans and it was a meme-starter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UmXX21zVms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UmXX21zVms)

In all honesty, Dr. Eggman was perhaps the most entertaining character in Sonic Boom, going as far as stealing the show in most episodes. Which is ironic given in comparison to AoSTH Dr. Robotnik and Sega's Dr. Eggman he was a poor excuse for a villain.

I maybe an adult but I still think my criticisms are fair against Sonic Boom. Especially when comparing the story writing and comedy of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xjAcqjIMbU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xjAcqjIMbU)

Like Sonic Boom, AoSTH was more catered for younger audience in comparison to it's SatAM counterpart. Thus it used Looney Tunes=like slapstick humour while still having stories around adventure and heroics, two kinds of genre we rarely see combined in children cartoons back then.

To me, Sonic Boom "tries to be funny". It uses rather spontaneous humour in order to appeal to the audience in entertainment. Such as spontaneous dancing or trying to be the next meme for all the internet kiddies. It just didn't work. It just felt like dumb "shovel humour", just whatever funny to make kids laugh. The kind of shovel humour Teen Titans Go! is notorious for.

AoSTH, it was more fun to watch than funny but still had it's moments of humour that made it worth while. It silliness was not spontaneous and felt natural which complimented the overall comedy of the show.

Because of that, AoSTH became a great kids show for Sonic fans and it was a meme-starter.

You got a point and I agree with most of it.
Not to mention the scope is just in that isolated island,
hard to think that Eggman is a threat of the world.
Still Mike Pollock did his best as Eggman.

What I meant were more on the games though.
Games that are based on kids' show.
It's kinda hard to give reviews for them.
Both my kids love Shattered Crystal and Fire & Ice while I thought the game are just okay.
But they also love these games too ....

... so guess they are really the target.
They still don't like Barney game though.
The game is really weird,
it started playing by itself if we don't touch it for some minutes.

(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/67/2e/2a/672e2a0aa389dc2b39f839960c10c599.jpg)

Still waiting the day where they'll play Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, or Marvel VS against me,
but so far they still have no interest of them.

The N3DS games I can't complain about that much because they were less humor, more gaming so it has it's own entertainment value.

Though will say making the player go through all the effort collecting those badges just for a dance party is just so Boom TV show cringe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJNgZymZX_M

Why do children TV shows these days think making characters dance is funny? It's not. It's just dancing. And not even good dance moves.

Klay Thompson Is Not Happy About His Three-Point Rating On NBA 2K23: "Doo Doo Since Sega Dreamcast..."

With the first week of September almost in the books now, the wait is almost over for the latest installment of NBA 2K. Each year, in the weeks leading up to release, the game is advertised and teased to build hype and generate some buzz about the project.
The process has been the same this summer as well, with 2K releasing trailers, gameplay footage, and player ratings ahead of the 9th. And while it has mostly been successful in building up anticipation, this year's three-point ratings also brought back some criticism from a powerful NBA voice: Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson.
After finding out what 2K gave him for his three-point rating, Thompson took to Instagram to express his feelings.

True but the reason why I would like to mix-and-match Avatars is so that I could make a more accurate reputation of my character.

For example, here's what my Avatar in Sonic Forces look like:
(https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/875249337832490680/0D87229AA0943A8306AB52FF706E1A87A205A1E8/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)

Now on GMod and Source Filmmaler, you can get a mod (http://y2u.be/C3NiRoJnqhk) that allows you to not only recreate your Sonic Forces avatar for GMod or SFM but also allows you to compile any body parts available in the mod pack. And with some ingenuity I know on retexturing and compiling existing models I manage to come up with this:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/bbf62728-d510-43de-bd21-1c5471c0f74c/dekgvkp-2a96209e-9933-4254-a61c-f2da358f8719.png/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,q_80,strp/sfm_mystic_monkey_by_mysticm_dekgvkp-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NzIwIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvYmJmNjI3MjgtZDUxMC00M2RlLWJkMjEtMWM1NDcxYzBmNzRjXC9kZWtndmtwLTJhOTYyMDllLTk5MzMtNDI1NC1hNjFjLWYyZGEzNThmODcxOS5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTI4MCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.D1HGYclM0pgW2WoqBrIA9DjooLx5OjL7ykGTPJbot7Y)

The SFM picture is much more accurate to my monkey character and that's because he has the mouth of a rabbit, ears of a female bear and tail of a cat.

If there was such a mod like this for SFM, I would make a Let's Play of sorts around it.

For example, here's what my Avatar in Sonic Forces look like:
(https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/875249337832490680/0D87229AA0943A8306AB52FF706E1A87A205A1E8/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)

Now on GMod and Source Filmmaler, you can get a mod (http://y2u.be/C3NiRoJnqhk) that allows you to not only recreate your Sonic Forces avatar for GMod or SFM but also allows you to compile any body parts available in the mod pack. And with some ingenuity I know on retexturing and compiling existing models I manage to come up with this:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/bbf62728-d510-43de-bd21-1c5471c0f74c/dekgvkp-2a96209e-9933-4254-a61c-f2da358f8719.png/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,q_80,strp/sfm_mystic_monkey_by_mysticm_dekgvkp-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NzIwIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvYmJmNjI3MjgtZDUxMC00M2RlLWJkMjEtMWM1NDcxYzBmNzRjXC9kZWtndmtwLTJhOTYyMDllLTk5MzMtNDI1NC1hNjFjLWYyZGEzNThmODcxOS5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTI4MCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.D1HGYclM0pgW2WoqBrIA9DjooLx5OjL7ykGTPJbot7Y)

The SFM picture is much more accurate to my monkey character and that's because he has the mouth of a rabbit, ears of a female bear and tail of a cat.

If there was such a mod like this for SFM, I would make a Let's Play of sorts around it.

That looks a lot better.
A lot.
Aiai's ears feel too cartoonic and the lack of the long tail doesn't help too to make it monkey-ish.
Now it really looks like a monkey.

Will it be sold on the Sega Store if funded?

I doubt it since it's not officially approved by SEGA.

What Was The Last Official Sega Dreamcast Ever Released?

Quote
NSega’s last hurrah for first-party Dreamcast games was the Tetris-like Puyo Puyo Fever, which was released in Japan in March of 2004.
However, that wasn’t the de facto final official Dreamcast game ever.
In March of 2007, several days before the PlayStation 3 launched in Europe and Australia, Japanese Dreamcast owners also received the shoot ‘em up Karous.
So while many remember 2002 as the Dreamcast’s last year of even minor market relevancy, the console did live on for quite a few years beyond that.

The horns are cool.
Why do they remove them?
May be because it's deemed devil-like appearance (that could change the ESRB rating)?

Not confirmed yet, but judging from his unclean looks, he's either becoming poor or still rich but just don't want to stay in house anymore, becoming a street fighter literally.
According to the story leak, it's probably the later.
What's the point on going home if Eliza and Mel weren't there, for Ken his family used to be his everything, even the source of his strength.

Unreleased Dreamcast game Dee Dee Planet online features finally running unofficially

(https://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DeeDeePlanet_DC_JP_BoxFrontSample_optimized-750x623.png)

Quote
You might have also noticed the name sounds a bit similar to Chu Chu Rocket, a well-known Dreamcast game that did make it to market.
That’s because Dee Dee Planet was made with similar intentions of being an easy to learn game for people to quickly take online for fun and fast multiplayer gameplay.
Sega intended for this to be the second in a series of games known as “Easy Network”, to denote the pick-up-and-play online nature of the game, with Chu Chu Rocket being retroactively donated as the first game in that series.

Controls are surprisingly better than the Dreamcast original and the GBA version.
Rather than moving the cursor to a spot and pressing the arrow buttons, one can simply tough and swipe a square in the direction they want an arrow to go.
Fast, simple, easy and I’m amazed that a ten year old game has actually found a control method that beats the original.
I’d assume things are even slicker on the iPad, as the squares themselves would be larger. Even so, I never found myself tapping a square that I didn’t mean to tap.

Competing for the title of world’s wackiest racer! The cars are approaching the starting line.
First, is the Giga Mega Drive Turbo driven by Gorgeous George. Next is Barry the Nomad in the AV RCA Hookup Pickup Truck.
And they’re off… to a standing start. And why not, they’ve been chained to a post, by Dick Dastardly, who shifts into the wrong gear. And away they go… on the way-out Wacky Races!

SEGA is actually considering a Saturn or Dreamcast Mini – at least enough to ask fans about it

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fgaw0vqXkAIk3QD?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Unfortunately the third option in the questionnaire was a Mega Drive Mini 3, which is probably the most likely choice.
Still Sega’s Mini boss Yosuke Okunari (as in he’s in charge of their mini-consoles, not that he’s unusually short) previously said that his preference for the next machine would be either a SG-1000 Mini or a Dreamcast Mini.

Yu Suzuki, the father of Virtua Figther and later Shenmue, wanted the main martial arts of Japan and China to be represented: kung fu, kempo, ninjutsu, aikido, sumo, jeet kun do, wrestling, pancrach, kick boxin, drunken boxing and praying mantis.
These different fighting techniques could be played by choosing from 12 possible characters who fought in duels or in teams of 2 to 5 (Team Battle mode).
The fighters, although few in number, were really different from each other.

I Didn't Kill Dreamcast, Says Peter Moore (Former Sega Of America Boss)

Quote
"I went over [to Japan] in January of 2001 [and] presented our numbers.
The writing was on the wall there, and Europe was kind of hanging on.
 I was told we're not going to be able to sustain producing hardware that's losing money because the attach rate isn't there.
I think we were selling at 199 dollars and probably costing closer to 250-260.
You need software attach rates, and it just wasn't there.
So the guys in charge there said, 'you know we're going to shut it down, and we're going to move to third party, and you're going to tell the world.'

I often get blamed for killing the Dreamcast. I didn't do that.
I did an interview where I said I had to make the call, meaning the telephone call, and people took that as [meaning] the decision.
It's one of the things I smile at when I still see stuff that goes on."

Yoko Taro, who serves as the game’s creative director, said: “It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively.
“It’s a world that imagines that if things were to go well for Sega but then got out of control, it could end up like this.”

The teaser site for the mystery SEGA game has unlocked, and as expected it is a follow-up to the original NAOMI arcade and Dreamcast game Cosmic Smash.
Titled C-Smash VRS, the game is a VR reimagining of the original game and is set to release on the PlayStation VR2.
VRS stands for VR and Versus.
A demo will be made available on March 23, 2023 and at the moment it is unknown if the game will remain digital or if a physical release is in the works.
Now, I have to comment on one thing....

Samba de Amigo ver. 2000, which originally released on Sega Dreamcast exclusively in Japan in the year 2000, has gotten a new English conversion by Dukeblooders.
While the game originally didn’t have much Japanese text in it, and didn’t strictly require a mastery of Japanese to play anyway, Dukeblooders went the extra mile and converted as much of the game’s text as possible, mostly using audio or graphics from the Wii version of Samba de Amigo from 2007, which had most of ver. 2000’s features anyway.

Sonic appearing in other Sonic Team games was a highlight of the Dreamcast era, so it was delightful to see the press release from SEGA this morning revealing that Sonic himself will be making a cameo in the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive Samba de Amigo: Party Central! Sonic and City Escape will play host to Amigo and his friends as players shake it to two songs from the Sonic franchise: “Escape From the City” from Sonic Adventure 2 and “Fist Bump” from Sonic Forces.
Check out the press release in the article link below.

Woody Woodpecker Racing was released for PlayStation, PC, and Game Boy Color, but a Dreamcast version was also planned, as evidenced by the above ad from the manual for the Dreamcast version of The Grinch video game, also from Konami.
Now, thanks to video game archivist and Youtuber Andrew Borman (https://twitter.com/Borman18/) and video game developer @frioglobal1 (https://twitter.com/frioglobal1), the source code for Woody Woodpecker Racing on Dreamcast has been found and miraculously compiled into a functional form.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Special interview with Ross Kilgariff, the creator of Harlequest!

Quote
Q : What compelled you to make Harlequest! on Sega Dreamcast of all platforms?
Ross: Targeting an older platform forces you to get creative with what you choose to include in the game. Having limited resources means you can’t bloat the game with filler, and you need to choose an aesthetic that works within those limitations. I find this much more inspiring and fun than targeting a modern platform, and it allows me to make a love letter to the games I enjoyed growing up. I hope that HarleQuest! finds a place on the shelves of any retro collectors and that it’s something people actually want to pick up and play.

Q : Did you have any history with ...

Danalogue has spent a great deal of time wrapping his head around this question while working on the soundtrack for a video game, which might sound pretty weird but totally makes sense when the game he’s working on is C-Smash VRS, a futuristic sports game for the PSVR2 combining squash, space stations and a whole lot of atmospheric synth.

“I love the idea of the game being on a space station, and I was thinking: ‘how far away we are from not just having a space station that’s practical for scientific things, but where you’ve got enough technical prowess to build this huge squash court in space?’” Danalogue laughs down a phone line to NME.

"Arc System Works Co., Ltd. (originally established as Arc Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1988 as a video game development company, later going on to expand our business to include other areas such as publishing. Thanks to all of the companies and creators we’ve had the pleasure of working with, all of our employees, and most of all the players, these 35 years have gone by in a flash.
I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to grow along with all of you each step of the way as games have evolved over time.
Continued support from our fans all over the world is what has brought Arc System Works where we are today.

Especially with the fighting game genre, I feel truly grateful to have been a part of building a community that brings people from all over the world together across the borders of regions and language.
As we approach the end of three years of the pandemic (COVID-19), I hope to continue moving forward with the fans even more closely than before.

As the gaming environment continues to develop at a rapid pace, I look to exceed the expectations of the players now more than ever.
I want to create games that will amaze and excite them.

Moreover, I’d like to explore other genres in addition to fighting games, to really show off everything we’ve cultivated so far.
I’ll put everything I have into continuing our “revolution” going forward. Thank you for your continued support."

New Phøde ODE, supporting Dreamcast, Saturn, Sega CD, and more, launches pre-orders

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPJ5gDWYAEnQsj?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
For the uninitiated, an Optical Drive Emulator, or ODE, is a device that can take the place of a console’s original optical drive, the device that reads game discs.
Instead of playing games off of original discs, an ODE can play digital disc image files from a flash memory device, usually an SD card like in the Phøde’s case.
These are good for replacing a failing disc drive, while also retaining a console’s ability to play games as long as the rest of the console’s parts still work.
There are already multiple ODEs on the market for many consoles, including ...

The Sonic Adventure HD project is the work of the team behind the SonicRemasters Twitter account.
According to the creators, the mod will aim “to faithfully recreate every single texture in the game in high definition,” while remaining faithful to the original’s style and feel.
In a short sample video released by the team, you can see side-by-side comparisons of the original game and the HD project.
The changes are subtle. The grass, stone, and sea textures are far smoother - which is exactly what, as fans, we want. The project very clearly ...

Quote
Shacknews: What new possibilities opened up to the team in VR that otherwise were not available in a traditional console game?
Nakamura: This time in VR, we have brought the games of the past back into the current VR world in the form of rhythm balls flying from the front. In the past, the game was played from a slightly bird's eye view, with the player looking at what was on the screen in front of them in a static way.
But now with VR, the player can become immersed while playing the game as the notes fly directly towards them. This makes the whole world more exciting and gives the game a much greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. There is also a gimmick called "face puzzles" in the happenings, where you must move your head as you play. I had a lot of fun coming up with the idea of what the device can do, which I feel is something that is only possible in VR

Shacknews: Were there any major challenges you encountered over the course of the game's development?
Nakamura: This was our first experience with VR, so we faced many difficulties. In particular, how do you get the timing right for the rhythm balls flying ...

This English translation patch combines the original status/information message translation by comradesnarky from ReviveDC, along with a brand-new hack that leverages the game’s secret built-in language selector to bring players a 100% complete English-language experience out of the box (sans text/graphics related to network play). A special thanks to Spike for pointing out the existence of the secret language-selection menu, which provided a foundation for modifying the game to default to English, rather than Japanese.

While we're busy fine-tuning Co-Op and Infinity modes (both coming soon!), we're continuously improving the game, as we're learning from you, the #PSVR2 community. In today's update, you'll find the following improvements:

Quickplay
- all VS modes are pre-selected in the Quickplay menu but can be de-selected
- You can now rematch the same player in a different type of VS mode (randomly cycling through all 4 game modes)
- added a pop-up during Warm-Up whenever a player has been found
- added rules to catch if an opponent leaves the match so that players aren’t waiting for the timeout to expire
- removed Rematch option if other player exits the game

General
- a variety of fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements

More soon. Thank you for playing!❤️

This is only one of the many tracks that will be coming from the game that will be part of this pack.
We also already know from before that other classic Sonic tracks “Fist Bump” and “Escape From The City” will also be in the game, so this one promises to bring a lot of fanservice for Sonic fans.

A Fan Translation For The SNK Dreamcast Game Cool Cool Toon Is "Very Close"
Neo Geo Pocket Color link cable functionality also confirmed

Quote
Cool Cool Toon, in case you've never heard of it, was a title released exclusively for the Sega Dreamcast in Japan back in 2000. It was a rhythm game controlled using the analog stick and the Dreamcast controller's face buttons, and featured single-player, versus, and co-op modes, as well as story campaigns for you to play through.
An official localization was at one point planned for other regions back in the day, but thanks to SNK's poor financial standing at the turn of the century and the Dreamcast's declining popularity in North America, any ideas of bringing the game to the West were eventually shut down. This new patch, therefore, will ...

Q: Did you ever consider using other instruments in Samba de Amigo?
Shun Nakamura, Sonic Team producer and director: Actually, when Nintendo first showed us the Switch hardware, we thought about bringing back Samba, but we decided to change it up a bit and make something new, so we were working on another music game before the system’s launch. But for various reasons, that project didn't work out. In that previous game, the concept was to control a large number of musical instruments, but the design, unfortunately, went in so many different directions, so it didn't end up working out.
With this experience in mind, we decided to proceed with a Samba project instead, where we did not think about other instruments as we wanted to express something silly and enjoyable when using a single instrument. [Samba de Amigo: Party Central] also has a feature called 'happenings', which allows the player to ...

Rumor Claims SEGA Dreamcast Mini Console Was Too Expensive to Make, It Would Have Cost $300!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F4Aot84WwAA2uSP?format=jpg&name=small)

That information was revealed in a recent video from YouTuber Adam Koralik, who apparently got the information from Sega a few years ago.
"They were like 'the problem honestly is that basically if we wanna release it as a console'- this was a few years ago so things have changed I'm sure- 'but if we wanna release it as a console, it's gonna be like 300 bucks.
Because we need to put like real hardware in it and the technology's just not cheap enough yet to actually do that. Nobody would be happy with a $300 price tag. People would be expecting a hundred. Everybody would be mad.' So, you'd get a high-quality product that prices too many people out," said Koralik.
Koralik went on to say that a cheaper alternative Sega was considering was ...

Night City: a metropolis sprawling with skyscrapers. Also known as “the city that never sleeps.” A major tourist destination that offers a wide array of entertainment options. The musical in which Amigo starred has been running for a long time now, and rumour has it that a sequel is in the works.

Street: an area located on the outskirts of Central City. That’s where all the delinquents gather. They often argue, but the moment music starts playing, all conflicts are forgotten. The street art at the center was created by a master artist, and is a popular tourist spot.

New Game Modes :
- Infinity – Challenges players to dodge and smash oncoming hazards while keeping the ball in play.
- Co-Op – Has two players playing side by side and collaborating to try and reach the highest Infinity score.
These modes turn C-Smash VRS into a thrilling fitness game which takes the work out of the workout.

AI Bot
Due to popular demand, the new update includes an AI Bot, available across the previously online only Head-to-head, Firewall and Quickshot game modes. The Bot is available in three different difficulty settings (easy, medium, and hard), offering players a chance to train before braving multiplayer sessions. Though not a “real” player, the Bot has its own characteristics and personality and will gloat when it scores a point.

Emote System
An innovative new Emote system will allow players to communicate online using their rackets as projectors. Another addition to a game which is known for having one of the friendliest online communities, in which players will regularly wave and dance with each other.

Stage Select Menu
Another big addition to the game is the Stage Select menu giving players on-demand access to every stage in the game for a chance to get an A-rank.

Quote
The Dreamcast Encyclopedia is the fifth book in Scottish author and games journalist Chris Scullion’s critically-acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias.

 The Sega Dreamcast is fondly remembered by players as a games console that was ahead of its time, almost to a fault. Its incredible graphics offered a level of detail that hadn’t been seen on home systems to that point, and its built-in modem brought online multiplayer to many console players for the first time ever. Ultimately though, the release of the PS2 (and later the GameCube and Xbox) led to struggling sales and Sega would eventually pull the plug on the Dreamcast just two years into its life, bowing out of the console manufacturing business altogether. On paper the Dreamcast was a commercial failure, but those who owned one remember it so fondly that for many it remains one of the greatest games consoles of all time, with a small but well-formed library of high-quality games. This book contains every one of those games, including not only the entire western library of around 270 titles, but also the 340 or so games that were exclusively released in Japan. With over 600 games covered in total, screenshots for every title and a light-hearted writing style designed for an entertaining read, The Dreamcast Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to one of the most underrated gaming systems of all time.

Ultima Creator Richard Garriott Recounts The Gory Tale Of Getting His First Game Manufactured

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_gz030X4AA-Kry?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Ultima began life as Akalabeth: World of Doom, a 1979 adventure which the teenaged Garriott largely created as a hobbyist project, even going as far as to print the manuals himself and pack them with the disks in Ziploc bags before shipping them to customers.
While this part of the tale is well known – as is the fact that Garriott's next game, 1981's Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness, would kick off a franchise which would sell almost half a million copies in North America alone by 1990 – there's a segment of this narrative which is less publicised, as Garriott himself explains :
"When they were being printed, it was just me, and the young woman on the other side of the counter running the huge printing press. The printing press had ink, that was spread evenly before being transferred to the final roller with the image on it, by running over a series of rollers rolling in opposite directions… perhaps 6 such rollers.
While the woman was operating the press, making the Akalabeth manuals, her hair got caught in the rapidly spinning series of inked rollers! In a matter of a split second, it sucked in her long hair, and slammed her cheek into the machine. Fortunately, she also, instinctively, reached around and shut off the machine.
But, she was now pinned against the machine, deeply entangled and bleeding significantly. I jumped over the counter and began ...

Two larger-than-life heroes brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister…
Ichiban Kasuga, an unstoppable underdog who’s no stranger to crawling up from rock bottom, and Kazuma Kiryu, a broken man facing down his last days.
Experience one-of-a-kind combat with dynamic, fast-paced RPG battles where the battlefield becomes your weapon, and anything goes.
Adapt your party’s skills to the situation with outlandish jobs and customizations to strategically subdue enemies with over-the-top moves.

I think it's very a lot of games considering its short life.
As comparison, not counting digital games, WiiU only has 206 games. Gamecube only has 651 games.

Tamaki-san’s artwork was easily recognizable with its stylized merging of anime and Disney-esce visual styles. Sega fans will remember his art best from games like Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Time Stalkers, and Shining Soul I and II, each of the Sega games he worked on during his time at Climax Entertainment, the developers of all except for the two Shining Soul games. Before all that, he got his start in the video game industry working freelance at Enix until getting noticed by Climax and asked to design art for their first Genesis game, the aforementioned Shining in the Darkness. Besides those games, he would also illustrate for games like FEDA: The Emblem of Justice (both the Super Famicom original and its Sega Saturn remake), FEDA 2: White Surge, Alundra, and Assault Suits Vaiken.

Under Defeat (Dreamcast) - English Translation Patch

Under Defeat almost doesn't need a translation but I still went ahead and got rid of the scary kanji. I even got rid of the not-so-scary kana. I pre-ordered Under Defeat from Lik-Sang when it came out, and it's my favorite shooter on the DC. I prefer non-bullet hell shooters, so Under Defeat is right up my alley. I generally use a CRT for my DC, but I got a cheap LCD and rotating stand so I could replay some games like UD in tate mode, which lead me to try to translate it.
Changes:
- Opening text translated
- Ending text translated
- Tutorial translated
- End of level ...

Nobody asked for it, but here it is anyway! Proud to release v1.0 of my English translation patch for the SEGA Dreamcast game "Trizeal".
A lot more work went into this game's patch development than I originally anticipated.
Not only did I implement a half-width font hack for text, but I also implemented an in-game button combo for toggling unlimited continues on and off (a brand new feature of this patch, obviously).
For other details about the patch, please check the GitHub project page.

Sonic Superstars Officially Takes Place Before Sonic Adventure

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F8sJf_GXcAASunk?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
"The Classic series began with Sonic 1 in 1991, and Sonic Adventure marked the switch to the Modern series in 1998," says Iizuka. "So in terms of the Sonic timeline, Sonic Superstars occurs after Sonic Mania and before Sonic Adventure. Whenever we develop a new game, we always make sure the story fits with the lore."
However, when you look at previous comments on the Sonic timeline, it gets a little confusing. Classic Sonic as a character is the same person as Modern Sonic, just, well, from the past. Then, Mania takes place after Generations, but not before Classic Sonic had gone through Adventure, and become Modern Sonic. Keeping up? So, that would mean that Sonic in ...

The video shows more of the ambitious title, which was intended to be the first entry in the Metal Max series to feature 3D graphics and was reportedly inspired by the MMORPG Everquest. This includes a look at a previously unseen dungeon and an FMV of the main character entering a vehicle. From what we were able to gather, the game was originally scheduled for a Winter 2000 release but was dropped due to both its scope and the decision by its publisher ASCII to withdraw from the home video game business. As a result, the next game in the series was 2003's Metal Max 2 Kai, an enhanced rerelease of ...

Drawing cues from the Sega Saturn controller, the RG ARC has a horizontal form factor with six action buttons laid out in a 3 x 2 configuration, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons. Most important of all, its quad-core 64-bit chipset can run old-school games up to the Dreamcast! The DREAMCAST. The lack of an analog stick might make some 3D Dreamcast games impossible to play, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2? A breeze!
There are actually two versions of the RG ARC: the RG ARC-D (for Dual OS with Android 11 and Linux) and RG ARC-S (single OS with Linux only). Both have the same ...

I wish Sega would endorse it. I mean obviously it can't compete with the Switch but imagine playing Dreamcast games on the go!

I mean, if Sega ever did decide to make a brand-new console, I imagine it would be a small form factor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_form_factor_(desktop_and_motherboard)) gaming computer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_computer) than a full console. Maybe have an eShop of its own while still remaining multi-platform.

Well the very least, it would had been cool if they endorse the device itself and included a series of online purchasable games or something of the like. I dunno, would be nice if Sega could make hardware more often.

I'm sure they already considered it and did the calculation but deemed the costs weren't worth it and if they wanted to make profit of it, the price was considered to expensive to market.

Well, given how they handled exporting some Dreamcast games to PC (IE Sonic Adventure being a mess), it's understandable the struggles of porting them to handheld or emulator.

For example, they could make the PC version of Sonic Adventure a game fixed into a handheld device and we wouldn't be able to fix it (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=299808681).

Yeah, porting is tricky. I remember two SEGA Saturn games (Cotton 2 and Cotton Boomerang) which were ported to modern system got many critique since they have 10 or so frames of lag between input (it may not noticable for non shmups fans). Some genres may handle a little input lag better than others, but shmups certainly aren't one of them.

This is why I regard Sonic Adventure as a "raw export". They just took the Dreamcast game as it is and jam it onto the PC regardless if it's coding entirely fit or not.

I've played the game for few hours in Steam Deck but luckily I didn't encounter any glitch so far. Still the game isn't Deck verified so I'm sure there were still some issues remained when the game's running on Deck.

If you mean you played Steams Sonic Adventure vanilla, then I've encountered a few physics issues as well as a sort of "feeling" it doesn't play like the original. I just can't play sonic Adventure without BetterSADX now.

Well, that was not surprising.
Once we taste the better one, it's hard to go back to the "not" better one;
For example, playing Sonic 1 in original Mega Drive now feels lacking since there is no spin dash yet.

Well, that was not surprising.
Once we taste the better one, it's hard to go back to the "not" better one;
For example, playing Sonic 1 in original Mega Drive now feels lacking since there is no spin dash yet.

I don't mind playing Sonic 1 without spin dash as long as it's not the NDS version of the game.

What about GBA version? I still think it's the worst version around.

The one for NDS is the collection.
Lot better than GBA version since this is basically just emulator with roms, not remake.
It's highly sought after now since unlike Origins, its Sonic 3 still have Michael Jackson's music.

IO Productions is the company which, in conjunction with Smoking Gun, developed the soccer management simulation Giant Killer (a European Dreamcast exclusive). Today, many IO Productions members have gone on to form the independent development studio Bitmap Bureau, responsible for the excellent Homebrew Xeno Crisis. They're still a tight-knit bunch.
Glenn Broadway (whose quotes appear in italics in this article) was one of the 3 founding members of IO Productions, along with John Chasey and Andy Bain. His role was lead designer on Stampede Dreamcast/PC. The development team consisted of 3 programmers, 2 designers/artists and 3 artists. Together, they worked on the project for around a year before publisher Infogrames decided to cancel it. The studio, at its inception, comprised 5 people before expanding over the first 3 months to 9 employees, 8 of whom were assigned to Stampede.
The core members of IO Productions were previously based at ...

This sketch comes courtesy of former Sega artist Satoshi Okano (thanks, Game Rant), who worked on Sonic Jam and both Sonic Adventure games. We already knew the character existed at one point in time, but this is a rare look at Spider Girl, who just didn't make the final cut for whatever reason.
This sketch is in keeping with the only other known piece of art depicting Spider Girl. This one actually did make it into the final game, although at first, fans had no idea who she was meant to be. Okano shed some light on this in ...

SEGA’s division 3 is the online division, which through interviews has been said to focus on the Super Game releases. Jet Set Radio’s staff was moved from division 4, the mobile division, to division 3. Division 3 has been confirmed through interviews to be focused on GaaS (Games as a Service) and currently handles Phantasy Star Online 2. This would mean that both titles are likely to be online and potentially online only, much like PSO2. They would also be high budget triple-A releases.
This would align with SEGA’s decision to send announcement postcards to Twitch streamers, who are more likely to give GaaS titles attention, rather than ...

It’s game over for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3.
The Entertainment Software Association, the video-game trade group that ran the convention, announced Tuesday that E3, first launched in 1995, is winding down.
“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close,” the trade group said in a statement. “ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, E3 was losing steam. Geoff Keighley, founder of the Game Awards (who said he had attended every E3 since the first one), in 2020 launched Summer Game Fest. Before E3 2020 was canceled, Keighley said he was not participating in the expo because he believes in-person events don’t serve gaming fans, developers or publishers as well as ...

Crazy Taxi gets some new details with mention of the new setting: Crazy City. Despite promising “innovative and fresh style driving action”, little is said about what exactly is innovative. The game does look nice, however, with blue blue skies and some very SEGA looking graphics.
Jet Set Radio in-game graphics show Beat in addition to returning characters Cube and Gum, who were ...

The wireless earphones are the model CP-TWS01A, and they cost 15,500 yen (or about $109) each. In addition, Onkyo will also sell Sega Genesis and Dreamcast wireless chargers for 4,400 yen (~$31) each.

"I was introduced to Mizuguchi over email by our mutual friend Kenneth Ibrahim, who had worked previously with Mizuguchi-san at Sega’s AM3 studio," recalls Kazdal. "If you played Sega Rally, you’ll know his voice because he is the guy who says: 'LONG MEDIUM LEFT.' It was just a few weeks before E3 1998, and I hustled together a demo tape of my animation and art work. Mizuguchi was kind enough to make time to meet me during the show, where we secured a meeting room at the Sega booth, and I showed him my demo reel. We had dinner and quite a few drinks later in the week. Then we started talking a bit about his vision for what would become Rez, at which point I started shamelessly begging for a job."
Mizuguchi's experience in Zurich would become a core part of Rez's game design; he wanted to fully realise the connection between visuals and audio in a way that hadn't previously been attempted in an action game. "From time to time, I would recall the music from ...

Top 10 Rarest Dreamcast Games That Are Worth a Fortune

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWZLETuXkAUJHGW?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
2. Widely considered one of the greatest fighting games of all time, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is well worth its prestige in cash today.
The game is notable for being the first in the series to take a step towards 3D with its unique 2.5D fighting perspective. The frantic, yet refined gameplay of the 3v3 fights was addicting and glorious for fighting game fans.
While this game didn’t add any huge additions to ...
