3. I hate the Dreamcast controller for fighting games. I really do advise a Total Control 3 or arcade stick for them.
4. Every one of these games saw a western release, a refreshing change from the days of the Saturn.
5. This was the last great era of arcade games with genuine ports to a console. Most of the stuff we saw after the Dreamcast, were just emulations. I actually appreciate the idiosyncrasies of ports. Sometimes it meant that a game played just different enough to have an identity of its own.
6. A few of these games are still DC exclusive and very much worth owning. In particular, I recommend at least trying Tech Romancer and Plasma Sword. - Ігри
Capcom definitely had Segas back til the very end with the DC. DC had a multitude of fighters.
TrueSinister true indeed, with titles such as last blade and Fatal Fury or Garou mark of the wolves, SNK was an adept contender in supporting the DC next to Capcom.
Yep.
Really wish we had a Sega vs Capcom fighter.
I feel that the Dreamcast, like the Neo Geo AES, was a true arcade gamer's console. So many amazing arcade-style games, with some actually being superior on the DC.
Soul Calibur being the prime example of that ;)
It was the last arcade console too. After the Dreamcast, arcades pretty much died in the US.
@@gchijioke12 True that. The only arcade/console kinship we really got afterwards was the Lindbergh/PS3 with near perfect ports of VF5 (minus the online) and After Burner Climax
@@AmbientMess True! Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast was actually superior to the arcade in all aspects.
@@AmbientMess We got a few great ports of arcade shmups for the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well. Now we're getting a lot of emulated arcade games on all current platforms.
Capcom and Dreamcast it’s like Capcom and Saturn 😍
Excellent Games for excellent console 😍
Well said, well said.
I'm so glad that I never sold any of my Saturn or Dreamcast games.
Mde Des for me, i sell when I was young but now, I buy it 😄
Capcom keeping the Dream alive
The art in these Capcom games still looks so damn good... great stuff
The Dreamcast being released kinda hit home for me that the arcades were dying in the States. I used to play Soulcalibur and Marvel vs Capcom in the arcade just about every day after school and suddenly I have a better than arcade perfect port of SC that looked TONS better and a perfect copy of MvC. Why continue to dump money into the machines when I had infinite play at home?
Capcom had a lot of great titles and I still count myself fortunate to have owned a Dreamcast right after launch and continue to own one today.
the footage of powerstone alone got my interest really good
Great game. Doesn't cost a fortune either.
If you like those type of games try Destrega for ps1, Tobal 1&2 and Erghiez by Squaresoft were of the same type but imo much more enjoyable.
@@rickylovesyou I have tobal 1 and 2 and I have to say for tobal 2 the character models and their facial animations really push the ps1's limits
@@rickylovesyou also Oliems look like Yondu
Same.
I find it amazing that back in the Genesis days, Capcom took 4 years to become an official 3rd party publisher for the Sega Genesis, despite licensing many of their hits directly to Sega to port over themselves. Flash forward, and Capcom was Sega's top publisher for the Saturn and Dreamcast, even using Sega's Naomi board for all of their Arcade games of the period.
Alpha 3 was the definitive SF to me and still is
I loved all the Capcom and SNK fighters that were brought onto the Dreamcast, this console was a godsend for me, I still have all my games and the DC, not even finished watching your video yet but I'm guessing you're gonna mention Project Justice here or in the next one, I played the crap outta that game, I want to see another Rival Schools sequel. There was another Capcom giant robot fighter I'm trying to remember... Tech Romancer, I think that was it, I didn't get to play it much but I remember liking the designs of the mechs. Man thanks for making this, brought back so much memories
edit: nvm you featured Tech Romancer!
Tech Romancer had many famous mecha designers work on the designs such as the Macross designer. All the mecha were based on many famous anime series and even had Gundam's Char's Japanese actor playing a masked character Char-type. :)
After Genesis, Capcom was a great Sega’s third-party.
I have many consoles ,but the dreamcast brings me a tear of joy...
I swear that dreamcast was better in the graphic department than the ps2.
In some ways it was, I agree. Particularly when compared to the blurry, heavily jaggy first year software of the PS2.
What I wonder is the same thing I wonder in regards to Saturn.... which is how much further could it have been pushed.
Homebrew coders like XL2 show it was capable of some neat 3d stuff. Saturn that is.
Again, I wonder how much further DC could have been pushed.
@simon woods its was the dvd player that made that system sell like hot cakes..i was one of them too..in those days a dvd players were expensive...so it was a no brainer not to buy the ps2.
If the dreamcast had a dvd player , i believe sega would be in this console generation not microsoft.
Ic sega didnt die ..xbox would have never have lived...o.g. Xbox have many dreamcast games on it..in my opinion sega console death made xbox possible.
@simon woods
I had my DC and played Sonic Adv, SC and NFL 2k until the disc ran out.
But, I think people were just burned by Sega.
I don't even think a DC with DVD capabilities would have made a difference.
Don't matter! To me, I loved the train I was on. Sega was making all the right moves.
Vader Gamer and SLX indeed. The problem with PS2, is its horrible composite image quality, even on a good CRT it's a blurry mess. Like vaseline smeared all over the image. Whereas DC composite was rich and colorful despite the fact the composite sucks in general. PS2 looks razor sharp and clean however with component video via CRT, it's pretty much the only way for that system to look great. It also took developers a solid year+ to figure that complicated system out, 2001 is when stuff started looking good, Ace Combat 4, Gran Turismo 3, DMC, MGS2. Prior to that, PS2 was embarrassing for a system 2 yrs newer, as most of us didn't have component cables for it.
It took me a while to notice that a lot of my favorite Dreamcast games come from Capcom. There’s still hidden gems and other titles I adore that aren’t from Capcom, like with Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventures 1/2, Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi 1/2.
But then you have my other games that I constantly replay and love that come from Capcom. Games like Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, the Street Fighter series, Capcom vs SNK, Power Stone 1 and 2, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil series and even Spawn.
The Dreamcast will always have a special place in my heart.
Never seen Code Veronica's Japanese limited edition before, love how it looks like a music album cover.
You can buy it really cheap on eBay
Capcom:Made a popular arcade game.
Sega:we Bring arcade expirience at home.
Meanwhile Capcom:here the first 25 games, Next month Will arive other 3 games.
My favorite
Marvel vs capcom 2
Mars Matrix I bet is in part 2. Still my favorite Capcom shmup to this day. So many excellent games shown here and will be looking forward to part 2.
Many fond memories of Capcom DC games ... power stone, re:cv, mvc 1&2... they brought it!
Nice vid Sega Lord X.👍
2:27 I would love to agree. But after playing both, I would say Powerstone 2 was good, for 4 player fun and content, despite the fact that alot of combos, moves, characters and abilities were missing.
But I would give the star points to Powerstone 1, because it had more moves, combos, specials, super moves and stages for each character, that added to the story and characters personalities. And it also had some memorable stages, and stage music, and cheap yet memorable final bosses.
In terms of graphical capability, the Sega Dreamcast is AMAZING. One of these days I'm going to invest in buying one. It's yet another console that I missed out on in my childhood. Great video, my Lord!
Me and 3 mates used to fight all night on Power Stone 2. Awesome game.
RE: Code Veronica on DC was the first RE game I actually played. After that one I went and played most of the others that preceded it. I wasn't a huge fan of the ORIGINAL release of Street Fighter III in the arcades, but man did I like Double Impact and particularly Third Strike. It's still got some characters that are a little too wacky for a "regular" Street Fighter game IMO.
Capcom support for the Dreamcast was definitely huge and appreciated back in the day. I have to say, I was not a fan of some of their more "popular" DC games but I was glad they were there helping the system along.
Yes perfect way to end my saturday love your channel man!!!
Love all your content and I just binge-watched them this weekend!! Keep making more, please!
SO glad that Capcom supported the Sega Dreamcast! Loved the Sega Dreamcast! SO Hoping that Capcom releases/remakes/re-releases some of these games for the Nintendo Switch! Would buy these classics instantly! Thanks!
The support of CC for the Sega Dreamcast was enormous.
It´s hard to believe that the Dreamcast is nearly 21 years old.
Another truly great video. Reminds me how special owning a Dreamcast was. To this day I still miss Tech Romancer. That game was never released anywhere else. Keep up the great work!
Oh this brings back memories ❤️♥️. Capcom definitely showed major love for the DC. I'm going to say, even though it's been awhile, that the vast majority of fighters, all Shmups and action games on my DC were by Capcom. Having the agetec or DC arcade stick made these games even more divine to play!!
Can't wait for part 2!!
Awesome video, can't wait for part 2!
Damn Capcom went all out on the Dreamcast during its short life, it felt like a new capcom game was coming out every month.
Forgot they had a Jojo fighter before the anime adaptation international craze happened decades before
Same with Sword of the Beserk and Record of Lodoss Wars. I was shocked to see these made at all much less being brought over to the West at that time.
Cannot wait for part 2. Excellent as always.
This episode is so good. More Dreamcast material please.
Always a good day with a new Sega Lord video
Love these exclusive publisher vídeos you do.
i love your videos, they are like documentaries made specially for sega enthusiasts
Giga Wing and Giga Wing 2 are two of my favorite shooters.
@@NB-1 I own a copy of Mars Matrix and love it!
For a third party developer I've rarely ever been disappointed by anything Capcom puts out, just quality stuff man
Thank you for mentioning Tech Romancer! I really loved this game.
My two favorite things this video was a blast thank you.
Great video as always. Capcom did well supporting Dreamcast, even Resident Evil showed how seriously they took the system
Great series!! Thank you
Your intro is sick af. BTW Giga Wing, Power Srtone 2, Capcom v Snk 2 & Rival School are my favorite games I still play them on my Dream cast
Not gonna lie....Capcoms titles did urge me to buy a Dreamcast and yo this day, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT NEXT TO MY SEGA SATURN!
Ah, a new SLX episode, just in time for breakfast :) . The 2D pixel art of that era really reach a new high. It's a shame that we didn't get a new Final Fight.
Love your videos, keep up the great content!
Thanks Matthew. Appreciate the message. :)
Can’t wait for the continuation of this. The Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles. I love Plasma Sword and I’ll play a few rounds every so often. Gotta say that Power Stone 2 is indeed it’s a better overall game than the original but the original’s gameplay tops it imo. I always wished they made a 3rd one with 1’s gameplay and 2’s everything else.
Omg it's hard to decide, I would choose 2 over 1 but I agree with you that Powerstone 1 was still very good. I really agree with you that they should've made a 3rd game. I played the heck out of both of them and made me wanting more. They were so fun. Played both a lot and liked both a lot. As far as the 1st one, I don't know, I think it could have been just like the case with me, I enjoyed it a lot because of the novelty factor.
This series deserved a Third Installment! :)
Shudve just been a Capcom console 😁
A great 1st instalment. I will DEFINITELY be returning for part 2!
@Segalordx you had me at Capcom Dreamcast is just icing on the cake!
I miss the intro with the Sega characters in it.
Can't stop watching your videos
Love the channel great content and I love that u love all things sega
AWESOME video! Don't know how I wasn't subscribed to you before, but I fixed that situation.
The library of Capcom games on the Dreamcast is reason enough to own one. The DC version of RE2 is my personal favorite, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Project Justice are two of my favorite fighters of all time, the shooters are all fantastic, and some of the oddball games like Techromancer and Spawn are real joys to play.
in the mid to late 90s when XMen vs SF, Marvel VS SF, Marvel vs Capcom, Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, Rival Schools, and Marvel Super Heroes War of the Gems came out i became a Capcom junkie and i'm happy to see i'm not the only one.
Great review
Power Stone is exactly the reason why I searched this. Hell yeah that was my childhood game
Thank you for the great review.
The Power Stone series turned me into a lover of video games. Forever love it and crying for 3 lol
I loved Power Stone, strange the only other platform it was released on was PSP up to now
Capcom releasing their games on Sega was the best thing ever. We got Resident Evil 2 and 3. Dreamcast did get big releases contrary to popular belief.
Hello.
So cool that you bring up my Fav. Console: The SEGA Dreamcast!
I mention the DC in your last Vid. in the comments section an voi la...
This makes me want to buy a Dreamcast again. I wish I could get a great lot bundled with lots of games. I would pay 300 bucks for it.
Fire Thief.This video makes me want to buy a Dreamcast too.
Get a dreamcast with gdemu and a 200gb SD card
drunkensailor112.What is gdemu.
@@hypergoon1152 please look for it on UA-cam. It's the greatest dreamcast invention and it costs about 75$ on ebay
@@drunkensailor112 You've got my attention. Nothing like owning the originals. But I just checked and MVC 1 is 55 bucks and MVC 2 is 134 bucks. I can't do that sadly. I only make 12 bucks an hour.
Love your vids, binge watching them at work. Found a boxed Sega Dreamcast Sega Sports edition in the wild a few weeks ago at a local game store. I think Capcom put out more games on the Dreamcast than Sega themselves.
I never fully appreciated my original DC till it was long gone. What surprises me now is that about ten years ago they were still selling sealed DCs for like $99.99 and I jumped on it immediately. It felt so good to expand my library of games, something I never really got to do as a kid. I still had a few more to get including Power Stone and its sequel before times got tough and I had to sell it. Sigh... here’s to hoping the third time’s the charm. Of course it’s gonna be pricier than before, especially if it’s the US versions of these games.
Techromancer was such a great game. lots of my friends slowly discovered it as we played it on the weekends.
What an amazing first year or so for the Dreamcast and Capcom! So many high-quality games!
Goode series idea. Ready for part 2 lol
Man Resident Evil 2 on the Dreamcast was one of my favourite games for the system. Even now I like to go back and play through it every few years.
It always makes me happy to see Dreamcast getting some love :)
Love your videos. Especially when they feature Saturn or Dreamcast, my two favorite systems. 😁
Now that I have my DC capture sorted, I should have more DC content coming.
darthwisner47 here here!
love your content SLX
Thanks man. Appreciate you letting me know.
Yo dude. Great video. Like you I also imported a Japanese Dreamcast and imported the majority of these games before they were released in the west.
Capcom really showed the Dreamcast love and released their greatest fighting games on it. So many classics
Being a jojo fan myself, i love how we treat the idea of a 17 year old college student with a funky purple guy that punches really fast and has magic fingers as normal.
great video
Capcom was the Dreamcasts right hand man, it wouldn't be the same console without there support.
It was a cool thing to see, and a bit surprising too. Sega and Capcom didn't seem to have the best relationship in the 16-bit days, though that may have been Capcom trying to stay on Nintendo's good side.
@@ravagingwolverine That's true the 8-16bit era was mostly devoted to Nintendo, but you could say that is when Nintendo were at their most strongest in the video game industry. Capcom really backed the Saturn and Dreamcast after that, it was good times for us gamers.
I vaguely recall a article in the official Dreamcast magazine.
Which was about getting down loadable extra characters via the Sega internet channel for Street fighter 3 alpha.
I think you can still get still get those via sites like Dreamcast Live with the help of Dreampi or just regular Dreamcast web browsing if its hooked up to a modem etc.
Great vid thank you.
Capcom games made up a bulk of my Dreamcast library. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was my favorite of the pack.
I loved Tech Romancer, such an incredible game!!! i played the hell of it!
quality content right here
I am despritley preying we get a Powerstone re release or remake on the switch soon.
I agree. A great series of games that really needs a revival.
Please don't limit it to just the Switch. Other consoles are way more deserving of those amazing games if anything
@@AmbientMess switch is the ultimate retro gaming consule due to its portability I wouldnt mind Xbox either. I just can't get on board with the PS at all due to my large hands beeing incompatible with the controller. I wish Sony would get thier sh*t together and come up with more controller designs.
@@ogjk Have to admit Jake I'm just about done with the Dualshock design and saying that in the kindest way possible. They need to really innovate this time in regards to PS5. I mean whilst the design itself is tried and tested I'd love something unique and interesting after 20+ years of having largely the same design
@@AmbientMess don't hold your breath lol, you can already see what the next dualshock will look like. Pretty similar to the ps4 ds. You must have giant hands if it's not comfortable lol
This is an ace upload. My favourite ever console, I should never have sold it 😢. I'm thinking about getting one second hand 😁
great memories
Tech romancer looks really cool. There should be more giant robot/monster games.
Capcom did an awesome job supporting the DC. I think Gigawing is a solid shooter though and one of my favorites for the system. Gigawing 2 however, not so much. It would have been really cool to see some other CPS games released on the system. Like Progear, or Dimahoo.
Very neat video. Indeed, the Dreamcast had excellent ports of Capcom games across the board. SFA3 is the high point for me, since it has so much extra content on top of all the quality one would expect out of it.
Not sure if you are saving it for the second part, but it's also worth noting that the DC also had the best port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. It plays incredibly well and has a wealth of options not found either in its arcade incarnation nor other ports.
God power stone I admit it got me thinking about when. I had a Dreamcast good times.
Glad you said Code Veronica still looks good that's exactly what l was thinking.Its inconceivable how the DC failed just have a look at some of the games but yeah the PS2 was to much of a juggernaut back then.Cant wait to see part 2. :)
The one i always wanted to play but never got round to Plasma Sword. I loved Star Gladiator on PS1 as a kid, and if im not mistaken that and Resident Evil were capcoms first ever 3d developed games!
Jesus this was a year one line up!? I had all these games but i didn’t know they were all back to back like that. Anyone who says games aren’t better back then are out of their minds
I just subscribed I'm a big Capcom fan especially there fighting games like 3rd strike
Capcom should release their own system
They have enough IP's to support it.
i'd love that
They technically did. It was called the CPS changer. It was essentially a consolized CPS1 (similar to how the Neo Geo AES was a consolized version of the MVS). It never really took off and the last game that was released was Street Fighter Alpha.
Derick Kerr they need to do it for next gen and drop sf6, darkstarkers, powerstone all the goodies on that bad boy and wide screen all the retro games.
@@MJFLIX the only thing I need from Capcom right now is a Marvel vs. Capcom collections which includes X-Men COTA and MSH. Capcom's home arcade does what you are looking for , however, it is severely lacking in titles. A new Darkstalkers would be sweet.
Great vídeo.
Thanks for watching it.
7:53 Oh you're approaching me?
Capcom in Sega consoles are match made in heaven
Was Sega back to being the Co. I knew they could be.
Wish more had jumped on board.
I don't even own a Dreamcast, but when I saw a Japanese copy of MvC1 for a good price at Half Price Books, I went ahead and bought it.
I would of liked to have the dreamcast at the time and actually buy games like I can now
