My only complaint about it was no padding on the thumbstick. Because of that I remember tearing large amounts of skin off my palm while playing Mario Party. That and I could never find a decent third party controller. All 3 of my third party controllers died on me. One the L button got stuck which I could have fixed if I was older and knew more. Number 2 the entire thing kind of shorted out and only 3 buttons were usable. Number 3 the thumbstick was programmed backwards or something. I just know that down was up left was right and up was nothing.
Wave Race is so much fun. It has more than just racing including a trick mode which can be very fun. It took me about 2 months to be able to perfect my double backflip. Though I don't think it was designed so you were supposed to do it.
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2! Must plays for sure! Also, check out Dark Cloud 2, Beyond Good and Evil, Okami and devil may cry. Oh and Shadow of the Colossus is also a must play.Ripcurl530
You forgot the original Dark Cloud in that list as well.
I know seriously I had time to go and fix lunch and then come back and watch the last 2 summons. Sad thing was that even after 16 summons of knights of the round it wouldn't beat Ruby or Emerald Weapons. Those are some tough bosses.
A 56k modem was "ahead of its time?":| No, it was an idiotic design that was poorly conceived, such is the case with a company that was so shortsighted. For a piece of hardware "ahead of its time" it sure died quickly againnst a console full of mediocre release titles in the PS2. Inexcusable for a console that had a year's head start. Clearly the games weren't that appealing.
I have no idea what your last sentence is supposed to mean.

That system was the pioneer for the online play. What other system out there had online capability?
By deafult since they rushed their console out, that's a disingenuous premise. Clearly the Big Three could look a little further to see that broadband was the future, a whopping year later.
But it took years for playstation to actually make a game to play on-line. The PS2 was not known for it's internet capabilities until much later after it's launch. They had more time to see that broadband was catching on quicker. When dreamcast came out broadband internet wasn't widely available. I know I wasn't able to get it where I lived. With that being the case they marketed for the mass group of people that wouldn't have to upgrade their internet just to play. I'm sure you would get upset if you bought a system thinking you could play it on-line only to find out it needs "super deluxe fiber-wire calling"(made up) and it was only available in some cities and yours wasn't one of them.
What was your reaction when you used the ultimate summoning combo for behamut Zero or KotR and had to sit there and watch it 8 times? And then followed it up by a mimic?
My bad it was Nightwolf not Nighthawk. And if it was night hawk it would have to be a in game picture of him. here is a sample one, but it definitely isn't this picture. http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/nightwolf-fullsize.jpg
Exactly. SEGA exists in name only, much like Atari. Sammy owns them now. And frankly, I've never understood old SEGA's "greatness." They came out swinging hard in the 80s, and their sports games on the Genesis were unquestionably superior to the SNES, but the Dreamcast? Give me a break. The games were decidedly mediocre. It died for a reason.
MarcusAntonius
Mediocre? That is a laugh. You had games like Soul Caliber, and Phantasy Star Online on the dreamcast. If I remember correctly when the Dreamcast launched it was before the PS2 and the X-Box. The dreamcast should have lived longer than it did, but it was bad management in SEGA that made it end early. Dreamcast was too far ahead of it's time which is why it failed. Oh and it started at 200 not 300.

These kinds of topics are kinda funny, but it's really amazing that more people don't realise that Sega doesn't exist anymore.
