      2 of my 3 all time favourite consoles are The Saturn and the Dreamcast. (The third is the PS3, which has an amazing library, and honestly the step up from PS3 to 4, and 4 to 5, is insignificant compared to from PS2 to 3) The Saturn becomes much more interesting once you have access to all the amazing Japan exclusive titles

It is too late imho . Look how Nintendo offers as games every year the same sh*t again and again . There were much better games than Mario , Sonic, Zelda to be honest . Also the clones that got made makes it not more an unique game anymore .
      We are very far from games like R-Type, Thunder Blade, Golden Axe, Street Fighter, Operation Wolf, Mortal Kombat, Alien Storm, Altered Beast , etc....they're all superior than an italian plumber Mario & a blue hedgehog Sonic which the real Sega mascot is for me Alex Kidd not Sonic .

    The Saturn was actually quite a success in Japan. It outsold the N64 and came in second place to the Playstation. People in Japan had different expectations for the fifth generation. They weren’t into 3D graphics like we were. One of the biggest reasons why it was successful in Japan was because arcades were still very big when it came out. People realized that the Saturn can reproduce arcade games really well, which helped sales. It was considered to be the best at-home arcade system. I’m glad it was a success in Japan. It’s a good console that’s often overlooked by the Dreamcast and Genesis.

    I truly believe if the Sega Genesis was a full cd based console instead of needing an add on. I think Sega would be in a much better position facing Nintendo and Sony. They might have still been in the console market today if they had the patience to release "revisions" of the hardware at least 3-4 years after the launch models then release a new console about a year or two after the slim model of their current console releases, while also not having a lot of internal conflicts behind the scenes, Sega would still be a force to be wrecking with especially with their classic library of games. I wish we went back to having at least 4 consoles on the market to even out the competition.

    • @Thor-Orion
      @Thor-Orion Před 2 lety +4

      Sony wasn’t competition for the Genesis. It was competition for the Saturn. The Saturn had some serious issues with it’s design though, because they thought that sprite scaling would be the future of gaming instead of 3-D. If you notice all the 3-D games for the Saturn were made by in house Sega teams. This is because very few outside developers could make heads or tails of the hardware, which featured two processors that communicated in a very odd way.
      However, I had all of Sega’s systems and they had GREAT games, they should have been a game publisher from the beginning, honestly. They wasted so much money making stupid moves in the console market, but their in house design teams made SO many fantastic games. If they didn’t piss away so much money they wouldn’t have so many great IP’s that are just collecting dust nowadays because they feel they’ll only make money from like 4 of them.

      @@christianloubardias6375 sega had way to much on their plate in the mid 90s. People didn't like having to buy add ons and the graphics between the sega 32x and Saturn were very similar. Not to mention they also were supporting 2 handheld consoles during this same time frame. By the time the dreamcast came out (which is an excellent console) consumers had been burned too many times by sega and were leery to jump into the dreamcast.

    7:31 Mortal Kombat was also on Super Nintendo. The blood for the Genesis was "hidden" behind a code while being removed from the SNES entirely.
    9:43 Game Gear was an 8-bit handheld. Calling it a 16-bit handheld contradicts what you said about the Nomad. Interestingly enough, Game Gear and Gameboy used a similar CPU being Z80 based.
    10:54 The Motorola 68k is on the Genesis. Z80 is an 8-bit CPU, mentioned above, but the Genesis was a multiprocessor system.
    17:03 Note Dreamcast never competed directly with the XBox as there was a 7 month timespan between the discontinuation of the Dreamcast hardware and the release of the XBox. That said, you could easily find games for both systems being sold at retail at the same time. There is a lot of interesting history of the XBox and Dreamcast that is well worth looking into.

    Small correction at about 10:50
    The Genesis (Mega Drive) had both a Motorola 68000 and a Zilog Z80 CPU. The Z80 was used as a controller for the sound chips and for backwards compatibility with the Master System. The SEGA CD (Mega CD) had an additional 68000 CPU, clocked slightly higher than the base Genesis.

      No chance. Sony had a big following by the time the Dreamcast was announced. Sony only had to hint at the PlayStation 2 and people would have forgotten the Dreamcast ever existed. The DVD compatibility of the PS2 made it appealing to a lot more people sure as it became the most cost effective DVD player at the time. But that wasn't what gave Sony the edge. The fact that Sony was killing it at that stage is what gave them the edge.
      Sega could have released a DVD console with an inbuilt hard drive and the PS2 would still have won that battle.

I like Nintendo and all but if Sega somehow got enough money, they'd need to make a Sega console and handheld. Doesn't need to be 4K. Like I know they'd love to have a bunch of modern game ports or remakes for it , especially catching up on all of the Sega and Sonic games they made after the dream cast. That actually might sell pretty good. As long as they have Sonic origins and frontiers on it lol. But no, I'd even start a fundraiser to help Sega. Would anyone donate? Fuck, I would.
