Loved the Dreamcast so much more than any other Sega system. Skies of Arcadia, anyone?

Soooo... It flopped 
Either way, its still just weird seeing Sonic with Mario. The fall of Sega was a shock to say the least. I owned Nintendo and the Genesis was my 1st unit I bought personally. As for brand loyalty, I was with Playstation until this gen. No backward compatibility (aside early units), and the shear price. :smh: But I did love the PS1&2, great gaming memories. And Nintendo for the constant innovations, just never a broad library unless your 8

Why I aughta!
Yeah. Nintendo is totally abusing the Sega franchises too. They could be making making good moves with true to the nature titles.
Like New Super Mario Bros was a genius release. It's fun, and very true to it's roots, but all of the Sonic games get worse and worse. Imagine a new retro Sonic type game, with the same love that Mario got, true to it's roots. It might not be as good, because Mario > Sonic, but it would be a huge success.

I havent played a Sonic game in ages, since the Genesis actually, but Ive heard the multiple complaints as well with the current titles. Its a shame as Sonic was a unique experience. But its kind of expected considering Mario is Nintendos face. One would think if Sonic is successful, Nintendo would profit off that. I always thought Sega wouldve tried to establish themselves again, and couldve sworn there was a rumor on that possibility many yrs ago, probably wrong tho lol

Another one of the main reasons PS2 burried the Dreamcast was because it was a DVD player.
It didn't matter that that there wasn't any games worth crap its first year because everyone wanted a DVD player and the PS2 was the cheapest one at the time.
Speaking of Dreamcast games, Ecco the Dolphin = one of the best looking games for its time.
With the graphics these days, why hasn't there been an Ecco game this gen? I want my HD Ecco game and I want it now.

Did they produce multiple Ken Griffey Jr BB games or was there just the one title? 6 bucks at the Flea Market and Im tempted to get it. Though I was shocked at one booth as it did have multiple Maddens. 93 was the one I did own and remember loving that. I miss that ambulance damnit!

I still viewed the DVD player on the PS2 as a novelty gimmick. I do realize that the PS2 was cheaper than a DVD player, and the games ran on that technology, but I avoided using the feature. Mostly because the unit would already get a workout via games. But the same scenario repeated with the PS3 and Blu-ray. 5-6 hundred when they 1st came out made me wanna gag. Ah the march of progress, and the holes in our wallets. Good ole 'Entertainment System' label.

A DVD player was a nice feature. Nintendo skipped it as well with the Gamecube. But the N64 couldn't play CD's either and faired well when other consoles released before it could play CD's. It's like buying a pair of sunglasses, then getting mad that they don't come with light adjusting lenses.

Multiplatform: NBA JAM. That game was and still is one of my all time favorites
SNES (some may be multi but they're what I have):
TNMT Turtles in Time
Donkey Kong Country
Emmit Smith's Football
Ken Griffy Junior's MLB
Uniracers (Simple but crazy addicting game)
Mariokart (and all other obvious mario games)

I'll keep an eye out for the latter. Im not sure which verison I saw last weekend. But Im hoping to hit a store called Book n Music Exchange this Sunday. They got 2 stores near eachother, and the local reviews praise them highly. They carry everything from LP's to old games, and relatively cheap, so might be a great find, and hopefully find these games as well.

Well as you probably recall too, Nintendo boldly stated the reason for the lack of DVD was because they claimed themselves as a 'pure' gaming unit. Which is true, unfortunately this also damaged them as the games were 'kiddie' games for the most part. I do love the Mario, Starfox, etc, but as I got older, I also wanted the more advanced/mature games like GTA, making Nintendo a 'pure' childs toy.

That was more at fault, because the 1.5gb capacity for the disc, which was awful considering that it came out 3 years after the DC. I'm not a big fan of the GC TBH. .

Gamecube did have some fun games. The progression of Mario, Mario Kart/Tennis, Smash Bros. But again, the complete lack of an overall game library until the one major gem, Resident Evil 4. Its like the Wii, find a few games that are fun, but nothing else compelling after that. Its really depressing when we look at the beginning of game consoles, and see Nintendo in a sense falter after the 64. Tho the SNES is still King for Nintendo, the 64 did give it a run for the title at times imo.

NBA Jam. That game was amazing and never got old to me.
Madden 05. Me and friends spent hours everyday playing it. We did a franchise mode for about 2 seasons, then made our own league. We'd sit downstairs at my house and just play non-stop till 1-2am. It was great. I had no life.
