The Japanese developer had trouble achieving platform parity with Bayonetta, and it seems that Vanquish gave Platinum Games a similar challenge.
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.
Sato and his R&D team were responsible for the creation of Sega’s arcade and home console hardware, including the Master System, Genesis / Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast.
I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.
He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.
Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations
Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.
I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.
there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.
Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.
I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣
Shenmue blew me away, and took me to a place i had never been before (until years later)
Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.
I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.
It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.

They went through hell but it will payoff in the end. Vanquish is bulding up to be one of the Big Titles of 2010. Day 1 purchase thats 4sure.
too man games coming out in october. july august and september were such dead months of gaming. come october, we have
vanquish,
wwe (for my friend),
ass creed (for my friend),
call of duty,
gt 5,
lb2,
motion sensing crap,
f*cking halo,
dead rising,
naruto (for my friend),
enslaved,
fallout,
castlevania,
the force unleashed 2,
splatterhouse.
plus the soccer and driving games from ea. and the pro evo. and MOH.
I would like to play and buy all those games. unfortunely for me, i dont have 4grand for games. i can only choose 2 games.
the list goes on, if you want to include wii shovelware (the party game) and other casual games.
if i was in the industy, i would firstly reduce the price to that of a music cd, (since they releasing it all at once). secondly, i would pay someone to shoot me, because 20 games over a period of 3-4 months plus the awesome sequels coming out early in 2011 is just retarded.
I had the misfortune in working for sega about the time Bayonetta was released, nobody gave a flying turd about it. Bayonetta releasing on PS3 was just a way for sega to make a bit of money instead of it being exclusive to 360 thus the reason for sega handling the port.
I'm glad i left.
