In this episode, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of the Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast is the successor to the Sega Saturn, and saw many of Sega's most celebrated titles, including Sonic Adventure, Shemue, Phantasy Star Online and Jet Set Radio. Various iterations of the Dreamcast have existed by many different companies, including Nvidia, 3DFX and VideoLogic. Prototypes for the console were named White Belt, Black Belt, Dural and Katana. Through our analysis of the console's development, Sega Dreamcast games and their gameplay and beta builds, we hope to show some of the more interesting facts from the making of the Dreamcast and have its history explained.

Isao Okawa's final moments are incredible. He essentially passed away a hero to his company. RIP
“Essentially “ stop using that word
@@HistoryandReviews damn he's just sad someone is dead.
Or jusy delayed the inevitable. It was just a waste of money.
@@atre5763 not really, his donation wasn’t to sustain the Dreamcast (by march 2001 it was about to be discontinued), it was to avoid SEGA becoming a subsidiary of some other company
Funny how Nintendo worked with Sony and Sega worked with Microsoft. Basically Microsoft and Sony learned the industry and created there own.
Michael Homer I never thought of that.... You're right....
Nintendo helped create the PlayStation inadvertently and from this video it seems like Sega inadvertently got the Xbox rolling...
Cristian Munoz how?
21st not actually, Nintendo Reject an idea thus creating the PlayStation, Same with Sega and Microsoft, so it’s more like the rejected girl who try to humiliate you by showing she’s doing better without him
Cristian Munoz oops I misunderstood what you meant by that other comment you’ve said.
Even sega helped sony. After Nintendo and Sony’s falling out, Sony approached sega to develop a console together and worked with sega of america until sega of japan rejected them
EA of all companies complaining about shady deals in the video game market? Oh how times change.
Now EA is being run by corrupt bastards.
And guess who allows EA and other 3rd parties to pull these shady stunts on a console's eco-system: Mommy Sony and Daddy Microsoft!
Well at least Sega went out on a bang with their last console.
Dr . Wub No. It went out with a wimper.
The Dreamcast had some amazing games!
I'd hardly call the Dreamcast a 'bang', but whatever floats your boat.
more of a "dang" really
Or maybe Big Bang!
The Dreamcast is a prime example of a great thing released at the wrong time. Its a shame Sega finally got it right..but just too late with the Ps2 and XBOX right around the corner. Had the Dreamcast came out in place of the Saturn..that would have really changed the landscape.
Or better yet given the Saturn decent 3D graphics capabilities. Heck, even the 32X was better suited for displaying 3D graphics!
Anyway, another year of development resulting in some better specs and DVD playback would've gone a long ways towards saving the Dreamcast.
SGD just needed a built-in DVD player as the PS2 had, making it your one-stop entertainment system.
compucles: The saturn had a diffrent reason from failing in the west, because in japan it was sega's best selling console.
The main reason why the saturn failed in the west was though to giving the console a surprise launch. A lot of US shops began to refuse selling any SEGA saturn's all together. Same applied in Europe were SEGA was more dominant than Nintendo.
Oh and on top of that Bernie stolar refused to localize almost every 2d game. Because he thought ugly 3d polygons are the future and 2d is dead. Even thought the saturn was specifically build for getting 2d arcade perfect ports. Even through this day 2d saturn games look amazing.
Sonic was also a factor but not the main factor of the saturns poor sales in the west.
+21st As limited as the 32X was, that's still better than what the Saturn could do (or rather couldn't do)! The Saturn was designed to be a 2D console and didn't have such dedicated 3D hardware either. Its 3D games either looked worse than many 32X games (and the 32X's graphical capabilities weren't used to its full potential during its short lifespan) or had massive performance issues.
As Jelte Zandberg pointed out, Sega of America then further shot themselves in the foot by refusing to localize many of the great 2D games the Saturn had. Stolar was right about 3D graphics being the future, and the Saturn was essentially doomed on arrival due to this fact, but he still made a massive mistake by ignoring the biggest selling point the Saturn did have.
Physics and AI are completely different from the graphics themselves. You're correct that the 32X would be even worse than the Saturn at running those games, and there's no denying that the Saturn was overall a much more powerful console, but its ability to display 3D graphics still completely sucked. For games where the 32X can handle all the other technical details, that once advantage it has for 3D graphics is a huge one. I doubt the Saturn would be able to run stuff like "Virtua Racing Deluxe" or "Star Wars Arcade" without compromising on the quality of the graphics.
I feel so bad for the Dreamcast. It's such a good system.
D-NetSavior Microsoft betraided Sega and Sony was the biggest rivall of Sega so it was there plassure to kill the Dreamcast with the PS2
referral madness literally, Sega of America and Sega of Japan were rivals of each other so I agree with you
Sega and nintendo are both solely responsible for their downfalls, MS and Sony literally tried to work with them and were declined in favour of some other company; the biggest mistakes in the gaming industry.
I got both consoles back in the day and i can say without a doubt that the PS2 was the superior console, dreamcast for me was just SHENMUE but shenmue could only carry sega so far.
@Joe Kidd
Exactly. I wasn't aware that origin of X-Box was exact same as as origin of Play Station.
That boot-up sound still gives me chills
There's a 3DS theme that plays the start up noise, disk spinning and VMU beep, when the 3DS lid opens.
+hobojoe0858 For real? I need to get my hands on that, I didn't even know it was a thing.
same, its been my phone notification sound since i got my first phone!
Same
KaptDai you know what else would give you chills? Youre body going cold as your blood leaves your body.
"A very rude gesture in Japan."
Isn't just getting up and walking out on a meeting a rude gesture basically anywhere in the world? I know you meant that it's considered especially insulting in Japan, but the way you said that made it sound like you were implying it was one of those 'that harmless thing is considered offensive in another country' situations.
"Sega got impatient" When have they ever been patient?
Its amazing how many poor business decisions were made specifically by Sega of Japan in the mid 90s and early 2000s.
I remember watching my dad sit on the floor in front of a tiny little old TV and play Jetset Radio. *The nostalgia is killing me.*
Corgi Queen It's killing us all... ;(
thats my fave game on the dreamcast
Good vibes!
My dad generally hated video games but he thought Crazy Taxi was the coolest thing he'd ever seen or played. We had a pretty good size CRT TV sitting at 27". Back in 1999 I remember thinking a 27" TV was pretty big.
I was almost 16 when Dreamcast launched. Still have the receipt dated 9/9/99 it was an early Hanukkah gift with Sonic Adventure. Still have all the games from back then, about 20 of them. Had a 20" JVC CRT TV to play it on. I miss those days.
"... walked out of the meeting - which is a very rude gesture in Japan". It's extremely rude (and borderline unprofessional) anywhere...
But especially in Japan.
I was gonna say the same thing
Robert ...?
@@TheGunFreak94 ?
@@tibethatguy Sekiro Armor Guy:ROOOBBBBEERRRRTTTTT!!!!!
I just want Jet Set Radio 3
Honestly I think SEGA only sees themselves as the "Sonic company" now.
Me too
Salt Sama Well, that's true....
RG Prosucctions And the rest....
Come on man Sega turn into a gaming company (not console-like) they just want money(just like the other$) and they don't need to worry about their console "didn't do well" any more, they could handle this situation much better and turn out to be(maybe) just like nintendo(in terms of exclusive titles) but they give up entirely and pass the stick to Microsoft and they are falling apart just like SEGA....sadly the ones that can't keep up fade away and just rest in our memories.....
Salt Sama seriously. Their only other big franchise is Football Manager, and that's only sort of popular in Europe. SEGA should either go all in on Sonic and give it their biggest effort, or just stop all together.
I hope to GOD Sega makes a Dreamcast mini with all of the classics and online capabilities too. I would kill for one of those!
rican2nhd That actually does sound amazing. Sonic Adventure 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 online would be really cool.
The Cardus Guy Great minds think alike! Dreamcast was the ultimate fighting game machine. CvS1 and 2 would be sick online it's long overdue!
rican2nhd CvS?
Dreamcast mini probably wouldn't have any 2D games on it, except maybe Chu Chu Rocket. If we're talking fighting games though, it would definitely have VF3tb and Fighting Vipers 2, probably have Power Stone 1&2, and maybe have Plasma Sword, Soul Calibur or Tech Romancer.
@@MaximusDread I would love that! I miss playing Virtua Fighter 3tb, I love it to this day.
If you pay close enough attention, you’ll notice that almost every problem Sega had was caused by Sega of Japan. They chose a weaker chipset for the Dreamcast, & decided not to put a dvd drive on it, for that weird karaoke format that caused piracy& failed. I even heard a story about how an American 1st party Sega dev asked to use the nights engine to make a new sonic game for the Saturn, but yuji naka threatened to leave Sega if they allowed his engine to be used. Sega of America had the Sega cd & 32x forced down there throats.
Thing is, it wasn’t even the actual NiGHTS engine but something very much like it. Yuji Naka hated that, and whined to Hayao Nakayama who ultimately shut down the project simply to keep Naka from leaving the company. (Which he threatened to do so).
@21st Stories are things that happened.
@@jadthemagnificent They're not always true, though. I could say I heard a story about how the Dreamcast was originally going to be called the Nightstream, but that doesn't mean it's true.
I think Blake's wording was meant to imply that they only heard it from a questionable source and wasn't sure if it was true or not :P
I don’t think it’s as simple as that. The 32X was Sega of America’s idea, having shot down using its specs for a separate Sega Neptune console that would have launched around the same time as the Saturn- the add on was the worse idea. The Saturn was actually the company’s best-selling console in Japan despite underperforming in America, so Sega of Japan were making decisions for the Japanese market. 3Dfx made a big mistake in going public, and confident it would sell better in Japan, Sega of Japan chose the Hitachi chip set. The Japanese and American gaming markets were very different then and now.
This video broke my heart. I loved the Dreamcast. I remember saving money from my first job to get it. Resident Evil Code Veronica, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and so many more. *sigh*
I always wanted a Dreamcast growing up; and I wouldn't lie, the movement animations look awesome plus graphics were outstanding for it's time.
Oh man... I would've loved that Dreamcast MP3 player, damn. Had no idea of that or the DVD thing.
referral madness Instead, we got the Microsoft Zune.
Oh, poor Sega.
He was a good man... what a rotten way to die.
Poor, incompetent Sega.
@@Ub3rSk1llz Yea it was the Japanese side that literally ruined everything, every single time. Sony wanted to work with Sega and Sega of America thought it was a good idea, but of course the Japanese side was ignorant and declined, which then led to the creation of the PlayStation which then destroyed Sega.
@@tacoengineer6660yeah their just as ignorant in their games to.
I don't know why, but I've always wanted a Dreamcast.
@@regjoe_48 lmao
Same here
Probably because it’s awesome
"When Nvidia's Saturn V08 chip returned a blank screen during the presentation, Sega dropped them on the spot."
how did nvidia fuck up THIS badly
That's what I was thinking lol. Now they're pretty much the go-to for video cards
couldve gave them another chance.sometimes stuff just end up screwing up
A WORLD where the dreamcast doesn't exist, is a world i don't want to live in, fond memories i have of this beautiful machine....
Rami Al Ahmad Amen!!!
Why memories though? I mean I still have mine and play it to this day, now I did mod it with a noctua fan so it's not so noisy and a DCHDMI and the picture quality is better than ever and it's still as fun as ever.
Hahahaha. Funny joke
7:50 and not rude in any other places at all? lol
But in Japan is REALLY rude...like worse than being insulted.
Thats funny considering they have no trouble disrespecting foreigners and non-Japanese.
Killermy3 the biggest problem that Sega had was Sega of Japan
I think they mentioned that cause in japan, that says a lot more tha in other parts of the world as the japanese culture is a lot more about honor and respect. So I'm guessing walking out of a meeting would equal to getting slapped in the face or spit on in other countries. xD
the real Payne in the UK walking out of a meeting would be considered disrespectful to those there and rude but not to the same extent as in Japan.
We'd probably just shrug it off and assume the individual was just being childish if those involved didn't know Japanese culture.
“WOAH!”

SHENMUE 1 & 2 REMASTER HYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!
Not a remaster just an HD port
Shenmue 3!!!
+mabbohabb Dude it was literally announced earlier today, go search it up.
It is a remaster. It is not a remake or a reboot though.
Dulin moving box noise 10 hours.
Shenmue is back baby!
There's a starman waiting in the sky you got that right man
Sakura Taisen is back, baby!

Yes it is
I still have one of these babies. The Dreamcast needs more love
well that love died a long time ago i love SEGA but they made STUPID choices.
I still have my dreamcast! ❤️
DaGoodLooking1 using Jedi Mind Control: You want to give me your Dreamcast.
It'll never stop!!!
Break it.
I still have my Dreamcast but sadly I don't have a controller for it ;A;
sweet
So this is bassically what happen in SEGA.
SEGA of America: "Hey Japan, we've got this great idea that could save our company from going bankrupt and-"
SEGA of Japan: "No" * walks out of the room *
ILostMySanityToday you can never consult with a japanese executive
SEGA of america: but dude why this can save company
SEGA of japan: did u remebered sega saturn diaster a consol u ruinde
SEGA of america: oh.... Right but dude this is difrent i promi...
SEGA of japan: nope just nope "closes door quickly"
It actually got much better but yeah
It's hard to believe that the Dreamcast has been out for over 20 years now, and it's still thinking.
The saddest story in gaming
referral madness imo atari was perfect for the 80s, we didn't need anything else from them after that decade.
dario HC you forgot the gamecube
@@dant876 Why? The GameCube was not a complete failure. The GameCube is amazing cause it was Nintendo's last console competing with power.
@@tacoengineer6660 oops i forgot i made i made this comment lol, i think i meant how it failed on a sales chart.
@@dant876 Yea that's what I'm talking about. It sold 20 million so thats what I meant when I said it wasn't a complete failure.
Favorite game on the Dreamcast? Crazy Taxi! The console had one of the coolest controllers.
Great game, but Shenmue is king on the Dreamcast.
Toy Commander and the toy soldiers game for me!
Power stone was the shit for me on that system and so was blue stinger
I like sonic adventure 1 ,shuffle and adventure 2
Vid is released a day after Shenmue HD 1&2 is announced. Good timing guys.
thanks for adding the "sponsored" to your title. I respect your transparency
The saddest part of the dreamcast is you could tell Sega was REALLY trying with it, do a lot of things that were ahead of its time. Sadly their ambition, and questionable decisions of executives that acted on emotion rather than reason, both contributed to the dreamcasts failure. It went too far with the technology that they didn't know how to properly use it, thus exploited by pirates, the pettiness of executives caused them to make new rivals that would eventually move past them, and the final nail in the coffin was that it was just time for them to pass. Sony and Microsoft came into the console market, prepared and ready to change it and Sega just couldn't keep up, especially since their Japanese and American branches often, even to this day, are out of sync.
Hopefully Sega learns why the dreamcast failed one day, and moving forward, makes smarter decision. I don't need them back in the console market, but hopefully that old Sega ingenuity is still somewhere deep in the company and will come out to change the industry again.
CanterlotCrusader I hate to crush your statement but, the Dreamcast didn't fail. A console fails when it doesn't sell that well at lunch. If anything it was a success. However, Sega stopped funding it themselves. So they killed it off. Unfortunately, people wanted to DVD player more than a game console.
Code Red Ghosts Records
Actually, more often than not, companies don’t aim for their profits to be on actually selling the console, but the software that will come with time. From a business standpoint, consoles aren’t meant to be consumable goods that you buy and use up, they are meant to be steady sources of revenue with time.
The Ps2 is highest selling console, but its success is more that it had a huge library of games that allowed it be a viable console for years, even quite a while after the ps3 came out.
The Dreamcast is no Virtual Boy, but it would be hard to deem it a success by video game standards.
@@CRGR1997 sega was broke by the time they released the dreamcast after the failure of the 32x and sega cd and lastly the sega saturn people were not happy with them and didn't trust them anymore so they held out for the ps2 instead and for the simple fact it is the ps2 was a cheap dvd player for the time wen dvd players were like $500 to $1,000 and after the failure of the dreamcast sega was $1.5 billion in debt LOL not to mention they spend just a little over $1 billion into making the dreamcast a thing LOL
@@dovic2293 Still a badass console
@Kosorou Gaming Studio Archives Lol bet you never played it. Has a lot of great games but your limited logic revolves around "sales equate to greatness." I guess the Wii is the best system ever lol. Go fuck yourself clown
Have my Dreamcast still and I love it to death!
George Minton dynamite cop!!!!!!
Wait you have one that still works!?
Surprised your motor to spin the discs is still going. Mine conked out in 2008
It’s gonna die soon
George Minton I’m guessing you rate the Dreamcast a 5.8?
Did you know? It's thinking.
It still is!
Shiro-Luna Some-say the Dreamcast is still thinking to this day
What’s its thinking about is still a mystery
Somesay it’s thinking of a way to get sega to start making consoles again
Somesay it’s not actually thinking
Shiro-Luna *whispers* why did the dream cast and the GameCube have people whispering in the commercials? Gamecube....I’m out!
Anime Today ( Whispers ) Because its mysterious
"It's thinking."
Just not ahead to the release of the PS2.
I was in my teens during the Dreamcast era, and later even owned one. I still really like that machine, and thought that I know quite a few things about it. Yet I was told just now that there were no EA games for the Dreamcast. I never even noticed.
That's how much I missed them.

DREAM 🌀 CAST
PissedOffDragon how you do that?
FOUND 🌀 IT
🌀 Dreamcast

This a European Dreamcast?
I still own my Dreamcast and play games on it from time to time. What amazing console it was. One of the best.
As a veteran of the 90s console wars, I remember how huge it was when Sega announced they were going 3rd party, and how it felt like a massive victory for Team N. Sega definitely did what Nontendin't with that one.
Man hearing music from phantasy Star online is such a call back for me , me and my friend played it so much on the GC
While the Dreamcast was amazing, it makes me depressed when the company hasn't been consistently good since.
Sonic Mania , Maybe Forces , Pouy Pouy Tetris. There’s been some decent recent games
Vormix *consistently good is key phrase.
And Forces isn't any good
Puyo Puyo Tetris is a 2014 game.
sonicboy678 2014 wasn’t to long ago
All the talent bailed towards the end. Sega isn’t Sega anymore.
Imagine if Sega suddenly released a new console
So many great memories with the Dreamcast. I remember when my older brother brought one home one day and I watched him play Phantasy Star Online.
Well despite all the shortcomings, I had and still have my Dreamcast from those days and I never once regretted owning it, the games were so much fun
Do Franchises you have not done like Guilty Gear, Blazblue,Viewtiful Joe, Shenmue, KOF PLEASE!!!!
Jeez, Sega is just a greek tragedy of video game history. All that fire, but too quick to burn.
7:41 Holy shit, it's The Rock.
The Dreamcast is such a great console tho... After more than 20 years, people STILL love it, and homebrew developers STILL make games for it! It may have been discontinued in 2001, but it's far from dead!
The Dreamcast demise brought a tear to my eyes.
Darn, should have had Adam Korlak on here or however you spell his name
But anyway, Shenmue 1&2 HD hype!!
That startup sound is my notification but it still floods me with nostalgia and joy.
Also, that first song from Sonic Adventure? Made my day.
I love the Phantasy Star Online music during the end.
And yet, despite everything, SEGA's legendary mismanagement carries on to this day in many ways, with franchises that could have made them a 3rd party giant being dropped for no apparent reason. From Crazy Taxi (which only saw a brief life on Xbox and Windows and an ok-ish port on PSP) to Streets of Rage to the Shining Force series, all dropped. At least they work rather well as a publisher, since Creative Assembly, Relic Entertainment and Atlus keep making good games.
I would love a new Streets of Rage title.
Not to mention them shooting Sonic, a franchise with as much potential as Mario, in the foot.
Why is there not a dykg twisted metal episode
KingSweettooth1 And why isn't there a Xenoblade Chronicles episode.
KingSweettooth1 That game and Vigilante 8 was my childhood
0:00 The sound of my childhood. Gave me chills man.
I think it’s a funny coincidence that they uploaded this today, when my siblings and I just bought a VMU for our Dreamcast this weekend and we’ve been playing it a lot more than we have in a while. ❤️
Sega Forever.
Literally just found and bought a Dreamcast from my gamestore, good timing.
couldnt afford one lol
Every time I hear that startup sound it takes me back to a much better time in my life.
Dat Phantasy Star music at the end dough. Nice touch.
Sega: What happens when you have a top down business structure and no one questions stupid decisions made by the higher ups.
Get that Utopia boot disc with the reindeer ready!
They got arested if I recall correctly.
Omg I forgot about the reindeer 🤣
i still have mine
there was also a video cd one lol
Love the Dreamcast it had so much potential
+1 for PSO music during the sponsored bit and the end slate
Sony has killed off the legend that was Sega
Switch Speedster you mean the Sega CD, 32x and Saturn, right? Sony Just gave the Last blow
what kills something off is the last blow
Sony just put the cherry on top, Sega did nothing but fuck themselves
i thought killing them off refers to the final blow not the events that occur prior
I hope Sony gets killed off and Sega makes a comeback and maybe Nintendo will help Sega
Funny that you should post this. I was researching the Dreamcast earlier this week.
Anyways, I feel rather sorry for the Dreamcast. I’d like to buy one sometime.
UPDATE: I bought one.
phantasy star online music at the end of the video made me smile
I have 2 dreamcasts currently. One is still in the box and one is out, waiting to be played when I get the cables back from inlaws when I visit them this fall. CANT WAIT.
so basically some higher up in Sega japan used Video Logics chip and it created a domino effect of Sega ruining relationships. I can only imagine what kind of console they would have had had they used 3dfx.
Say what you want about the specific hardware that Sega went with, it still blew people away back in the day. I feel the biggest problem of the Dreamcast wasn't the hardware itself, but rather the marketing and the relations with game development studios in general.
By the way, that PSO music in the end sure did bring back memories. The early 2000's was an amazing period for console gamers worldwide.
R.i.p Dreamcast. You made me a happy child on Xmas of 99 and brought joy to a lot of people around the world. Now I want to hook mines up and play Power Stone 2.
The Dreamcast is nearly 20 years old. Yet I still love my Dreamcast and I play it more frequently than any other consul I own
6:18 Nice Pokeball.
7:18 He used to be with Sega before he moved on to Microsoft and then EA? The more you know.
godbless the dreamcast happy 20 years :)
The Dreamcast! Powerstone 1 and 2, Shenmue 1 and 2, Sonic Advenutres 2, Jet Set Radio and Marvel vs. Capcom 2! So many good games and times!
0:53, Aww, it's Gamma hanging out with his friends!
Sega Dreamcast is the best console to this day
Evan Plays nah, (s)nes and Genesis every day of the week
I love all consoles, and PC.
No, that would be all the PlayStation consoles.
vr - nice try
Code Red Ghosts Records You know it's true, search your feelings.
This video talks about how easy piracy was on the Dreamcast but you don't even imagine HOW easy: you literally can just burn a CD-R in a certain way and it'll work on 85-95% of consoles. While the PS2 was a major factor in contributing to the DC's death, SEGA's god-awful management is still to blame. That being said it's a great console with great games.
I don't think it was THAT easy. Sega really did put effort into it. Only if they didn't choose to add Mil-CD feature, piracy wouldn't be such a problem.
I'd love to see a Dreamcast Classic
Perfect timing with the Shenmue and Sakura Taisen announcements. Love SEGA.
Came here before the video showed in the box or even in the channel videos o.o
From everything I learned about Sega’s down fall is that it’s Sega of Japans fault.
The PSO Music at the end really made me happy.
I like that they used the phantasy star online episode I&II music at the end, the memories.
exactly
It's a shame the DC wasn't more successful. It was pretty dang good with a nice library
What’s the ending song from 10:36 - 10:59 ?
I'm not sure if this is too late, but the song is called "Prenotion"; it's from Phantasy Star Online. :)
That game had an amazing electronic, ambient soundtrack. I hope you discover many songs you enjoy through this.
Loved the ending music track, which is from Phantasy Star Online.
I bought my first Dreamcast a few months ago. Having a blast playing UT 99 and Crazy Taxi. Mine is the Black Sega Sports model.
Didn’t they do a Dreamcast Video already?
ArmaanAli Lakhani Yeah over 3 years ago
they're remaking old videos for some reason
ArmaanAli Lakhani its never enough
Romhacker12 it's because there might be some misinformation or just giving more info because some things can change over the years, I mean they have we made some videos that were pretty old.
Yes, starring Brutalmoose.
I feel that sometimes Sega and Nintendo should believe more in U.S. companies and that they would rather have a setback in a deal than work with a US team.
Happy 20th Anniversary Sega Dreamcast! :D
That PSO music during the honey plug was awesome.
DREAMYCASTA
6:17 Pokémon?
That was my first thought too XD
oMG XD
The phantasy star online music for the last minute or so brings me back...
After two great Dreamcast videos, we need a Sega Saturn one once and for all!
