@@kittbluevenom2384 Playstation is closer to Sega nowadays than Xbox. Some recent Sega games like Sakura Wars 2019, Fist of the North Star and Shenmue 3 still haven't come to Xbox.
Yes and no. Key titles like Sonic and Virtua Fighter was missing. That’s what made it hard to be a Sega fan those days. I was always content with having a Sega console as I got my 3rd party fix, but was keen on my Sega games 1sr. When they spread them selves across 3 consoles like they did, it wasn’t easy. If you were Sonic fan you would go GameCube if you a an arcade fan you would go Xbox, but then you had the PlayStation exclusives like Ferrari 355 or Virtuafighter. Not everyone wants 3 consoles.
I don't really agree to this. Sega games were split on Xbox, PS2 and GameCube, each console having its own exclusive games. You needed all three for the complete Sega experience...
Jet Set Radio Future is the most aesthetically pleasing video game I ever seen. Til this day I have yet to see a video game come close to the level of style, punk and swagger as this game.
How about the OG Jet Grind Radio on Dreamcast? Technically JSRF is the sequel, and the graphics, soundtrack, and overall style in general is all equally as impressive despite being released on weaker hardware
Have you ever considered ever doing a video on Master System "demakes" of Genesis/Mega Drive games? I'm amazed how long Sega supported 8-bit ports of their AAA titles.
This is my favorite channel nowadays, as a SEGA lover I used to be. I was really sad when I first discovered the channel and shortly after Sega Lord X left youtube, but gladly he came back and now he uploads such great videos every week. Keep up the great work man, greetings from Brazil!
I first played Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube. I didn't know about Jet Set Radio Future until I played it on the Xbox in middle school. Such fun games.
Otogi 1 and 2, as well as Panzer Dragoon Orta, have been remastered in the form of "Xbox Enhanced" backwards compatibility on the newer Xbox systems. You can play all of them in 4K on the Xbox One X or Series X. Otogi 1 and 2 are still 4:3 30fps but definitely a big jump in visual quality. PD Orta is full 16:9 4K60! They all look great.
I love this about the XBONE and Series X. I recently got a Series X, and playing Sonic Generations, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed etc at a rock solid 60fps, and in some cases with a resolution boost is awesome! I am trying to get through Orta, but damn that game ia difficult. I can clock the first 2 with my eyes closed having played them so many times, but I have put Orta on easy and am still seeing my ass.
That ending monologue got me so excited for the future of this channel. Not that I don't still play a lot of Saturn and Megadrive, but it's worth showing that SEGA is still releasing quality games to this day. Thanks for another great video
Excellent episode, thank you. I wish Sega would do a port of Outrun 2 in HD for the modern consoles. If licensing is an issue, they could de badge the vehicles, like they did for their sega ages release of the original outrun.
Being younger I never knew Sega as anything but a third party dev. I love it’s consoles but the time during the 6th Gen is pure nostalgia for me. Can’t wait until you start playing Yakuza or Billy Hatcher
Without doubt you're producing the besr SEGA-related retro content. I stopped playing after the demise of the Dreamcast but learning about the era of SEGA as a third party developer is what youtube is all about 🙂
I'm a HUUUUUGE Sega Genesis guy. That is the first console I had. I'm also a fan of the other Sega consoles as well. I started collecting for the Xbox about 3 months ago and I've had a lot of fun hunting for Sega games on the Xbox. This video helps me a lot. Thank you for posting it.
I quit home consoles after PS2 and Gamecube ended. I was always anti X Box because it was a pc company trying to merge with consoles and I thought the pc and console gaming should have remained separate.
Great video. It reminded me of a few games for Xbox that I still need for my collection. I always love when Xbox gets credit for basically carrying the torch for the Dreamcast too.
Did you know that in japan, Sega had an arcade system wich was litterally a Xbox in an arcade cabinet. It was called the Chihiro and it powered games like outrun 2 and it played games on GD roms like the dreamcast. It's suprising to imagine japanese playing on Xbox hardware even if they never were interested in the Xbox.
19:28, let us also not forget that Spartan: Total Warrior also took cues from games, such as Chaos Legion, the Sengoku Basara series, and the Dynasty Warriors/Shin Sengokumusou series, as well as all of their related ilk.
I think the Xbox got the most love from Sega when they transitioned into a third party developer. Maybe it was a gratitude thing from when they put Windows CE on the Dreamcast? Who knows. For multiplatform titles the Xbox always did seem to get the best versions irrespective of who developed them.
I find it interesting because I grew up as a Sega Kid, but when my brother defected to sony and sold our Saturn. alot of my days of Sega gaming had left (other than me keeping the Genesis console...which I still have). But when my brother eventually got an Xbox, i wouldn't be lying if i said I was envious of some of the games. Panzer Dragoon Orta was amazing (and i still think looks great), and I had been wanting to play a Shenmue game since it had been announced, so playing Shenmue II was a treat (even thoug I never really got too far...and would just get stuck playing Lucky Hits). And then of course Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 came along, which i wished I could have played since I was a huge fan of the PS series. Sadly around the time of 2004, i started college, and I felt like my gaming took a backseat to taking part in the college experience (namely doing school work, practicing, and being part of my student ministry), so more of the Sega games that came out around this time I had missed. Though eventually I did get to experience OutRun 2SP in the arcade at my local Gameworks (Rest in Peace), and loved it because, it was an updated OutRun with more fun gameplay. Eventually i did buy a copy on PS2, and I was stoked! Luckily today, most of the games discussed that I was interested in Ive been able to play now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Looking forward to seeing whats next.
I never had an original Xbox growing up and I never knew there was a Crazy Taxi 3. I'd love to see a modern sequel to Jet Grind Radio. I think it has the potential to be one of the best looking games of all time if done well
Yup, I played tons of sports games back in the day and Sega's releases were the ones I tended to go to first, except for a brief period of time where All-Star Baseball was N64 exclusive and ruled the MLB roost.
Sega's Xbox support was one of the reasons I leaned into the Xbox in that generation. Too bad it totally screwed Sega though, since no one in Japan bought the Xbox and a lot of their games weren't popular at all in the west :(
Great video! Me as many other people consider the OG Xbox to be the spiritual successor of the Dreamcast. I've been able to gather a few of those Sega games for the OG Xbox or for the Series X through backward compatibility. Sega went guns blazing as a game publisher and it showed firsthand!
I'm very excited to see how this channel will tackle SEGA after going 3rd party. Also yes, I have also viewed and continue to view the Xbox as the Dreamcast 2 and even now the Xbox as the most "SEGA-Like" when it comes to consoles and games.
The Sega games on the first Xbox where great, I've played almost all of them, I'm surprised there hasnt been a return to Otogi and Jet Set Radio for more sequels : )
Great video you posted. I remember when sega released Sonic Mega Collection+. Besides the Sonic 3d Blast for Saturn & Sonic Advance for the GBA, I never played the original Sonic games until sega released that collection. Once I got it, I immediately loved it. I was able to beat those games even though I didn't get all the chaos emeralds.
Man... I've digging up all my vintage consoles and games and let's just say it's a nostalgia-ridden trip down memory lane. So far I've found my Dreamcast, PS2, and original XBox (as well as the GameCube) and all the games I ever bought for them stashed away in cardboard boxes but still in excellent shape, all thanks to this channel and the inspiration it's given me. I'm so regretful I sold my original, Saturn, PS, and N64, along with literally dozens of games, which to this day makes me soooooo sad. I still don't know if that dad who showed up that Saturday afternoon with his 3 kids even knew what he was getting for a measly $400 waaaaaay back in the summer of 2000... I hope he held on to that treasure.
I’ll tell you from personal experience after you’ve done something like that it’s best to just completely forget it, and never think of it again. I’ve made some dumb decisions both stuff I did buy and stuff I didn’t as well as stuff that I’ve given up for considerably less than the ridiculous amounts it’s worth today. And let me tell you it does no good to obsess about it because it’s done and over and you just have to move on.
Dude Otogi 1 and 2 are both amazing. I played the shit out of them back in the day. I would love to see that series come back, it's super underrated. The music, and bosses are so badass.
Astonishing how this guys channel has more subscribers then others that talk about all video game companies. Goes to show how well done this guys content is, furthermore how much influence and a following Sega still has.
Great video! As an og Xbox collector (652 games at the moment) I made it an early milestone to get every Sega released game on the system. Most of them are awesome and I’m happy to own them!
I'm a collector of games from several consoles of the past, and I barely have over 600 all together, very impressive you have that many for one console alone. Man, I didn't know there were that many og Xbox titles!
@@kamenanew9867 Thanks! I think there's 814 PAL Xbox games in total, that's what I'm mainly collecting, adding in some NTSC and NTSC-J good ones there as well if possible.
@@Renk1 Im sure there's around 1000 or something OG XBOX games in the US! (Around 478 compatible on 360, I think 40 of them are Playable on One/Series?)
@@LennyQUMFIF Yes, the NTSC region has a lot more games than PAL. I'm European though so I mainly collect PAL. I have all the Xbox One/Series BC games already, they run great!
I was 7 when SEGA started publishing on Xbox, I had no idea they did so many besides Sonic, Panzor Dragoon and Shenmue. Thanks for making this list its cool. :)
14:06 this was 2 weeks ago and you still don't realize it's 480p?! Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog were stuck on VGA @$$ 640x480. Some games were actually closer to an anamorphic 4:3 640x400 on the GameCube/PS2, and the GameCube ruins Sonic Heroes with 32khz instead of 48khz that DVD media were clearly capable of.
Great work on this one! I knew most of these but there were several I either forgot about or didn’t know about at all. Don’t know if you already have this planned but I’d love to see a similar video for the GameCube. Sega had a very strong showing there as well.
Many of their games on the GC were great, however they did make a lot less games for the console than on the other 2 though, especially since the western sports brand stopped supporting the console after just 2 iterations (and giving free real state to EA in the system).
Never have an xbox, Saturn or Dreamcast, just playing a bit at my cousins house in 93 (sonic the hedgehog), and at my Junior High friends back in 98 (MK 2, MK3, WWE Wrestlemania, and Contra HardCorps) . But Sega leaves deep impression in my youth after only knew game in NES
Sonic Riders is based on the cancelled Sonic Extreme (2003) but is also at the same time a spiritual "successor" of the good ole Sonic R. I find that quite fascinating.
I completely forgot about this fact, I thought you were talking about the 90’s X-Treme but yes Sonic Riders was originally gonna be a tony hawk clone called Sonic Extreme
I just love that despite everything SEGA's been through in the past 40 years. It's still part of the video game industry and as a fan I hope it continues to be until the day I die... of old age.
Outside milking Sonic, and rereleasing mega drive games on a constant basis, it’s just not the same Sega anymore. Yu Suzuki had to crowdfund himself the budget for Shenmue 3, streets of rage 4 was licensing deal some French enthusiast paid Sega to do. We haven’t had a new Crazy Taxi since 3, no new outrun since 2006, no new Virtua fighter for 10 years. And that’s just old IP they aren’t redoing. When did Sega develop anything new for the first time? Technically they exist, but they aren’t really contributing that much to the scene anymore, just surviving on legacy.
@@sloppynyuszi Judgment and Lost Judgment were made in house by SEGA. *Catherine* was made by ATLUS a former partner now in house developer for SEGA. Their acquisition of other great developer studios like Creative Assembly and Relic Entertainment has allowed them to continue developing great games _(subjectively)._ Leading to Microsoft asking SEGA of Europe to create Age of Empires 4. Their role as a publisher for other studios has also lead to the release of many other great titles too. One day you might get the nostalgic sequel cash grab. But until then they're doing fine as they are.
Sega needed a debt-free $500 million bailout from the chairman of their former parent company to transition to 3rd party, instead of shutting down home console development completely. Sega could have outright died in 2001, or they could have completely focused on their arcade/amusement business, which we all know shut down a couple years ago. Sega is very lucky they still exist today, along with Sega fans
Good review! It was a sad time when Sega left the console market back then, but I was glad to see them develop games for other platforms! I never owned an XBox so I missed out on most of these titles. I'm not sure if some of these were ever released on modern consoles (or Steam), but would love to check them out! I only had a GameCube during the sixth gen, but the Cube got a number of great Sega games on it as well. I loved Billy Hatcher, Sonic Gems Collection, Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, Sonic Mega Collection, Puyo Pop Fever, and F-Zero GX!
Getting games like outrun 2, panzer dragoon orta, Jet set radio future and shenmue 2 are main reasons why I bought an Xbox back in 2003 even though I already had a ps2.
a good tip for Shenmue 2 is to spend all your money buying capsule toys before the kid steals your backpack. then pawn them off later because you keep them without the backpack.
As always Great Video Man!! I've just spent the month of Dec going over many of your original videos. I will get through them all. Can't wait to see where you take us next. Cheers Mate.
Outrun 2 coast to coast is the nearest to perfection in the arcade driving genre. When you get in the zone and pull off drift after drift with the fantastic music its just feels so good and actually relaxing in a way. The graphics, sound and playability are unmatched to this day imho. Some of the burnout games come close but cant really be described as relaxing.
Another great video Mel! Outrun 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta were pretty much the entire reason I picked up an OG Xbox. House of the Dead 3 and Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast were awesome added bonuses.
@@wussup12345 Also, what's the big deal? People I don't know in real life often refer to me by first name on my channel and it's not anything I'd even give a second thought to normally.
Gunvalkyrie was completely awesome after I got use to the controls. I considered it to be a spiritual successor to Space Harrier. Except it was mission-based. With objectives and large play areas
Your take on it being a spiritual successor to SH makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I would describe it as a modern take on the schump genre. I would love to see a sequel or a spiritual successor to this game.
Gun Valkyrie would be really great with modern controllers with paddles. It was never going to be accepted with having to push R3 for flight. Sega will never revisit the game of course, but perhaps Microsoft could bring this and these other Sega games to Gamepass
Gunvalkyrie IMO did not feel like Space Harrier in the slightest! Apart from the two having aliens not much else comparatively. I would say the closest we got was with Planet Harriers for the Arcade back in 2000
Sega and MS always had an underrated relationship. Jsrf is top tier and it Phil Spencer has said they tried to make it backwards compatibility but Sega didn't let them.
MS only had a 'relationship'with sega 2 steal knowledge & intel on R&D,development & marketin etc,knowin full well they planned their own console(as sony did with nin'con'tendo with DEV the CD add-on 4 the SNES,whilst again knowin full well they had what became the PSX in the works)BOTH COMPANYS,ALONG WITH FUCKIN EA r responsible 4 the state of 2days gaming landscape!ABSOLUTELY ZERO CREATIVITY ,IMAGINATION,RISK TAKING AND WORST OF ALL UTTER CONTEMPT & FUCK'UM ATTITUDE 2WARDS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE SCENE.......& THATS US!YOU & I,THE GAMERS!Cause after all THATS WHAT COMPETITION BREADS!CREATIVITY! EXAMPLE-SONY WHO CAN'T EVEN BE FUCKIN ASSED 2 THINK OF A NEW NAME 4 THEIR NEXT CONSOLE,SHOWS HOW HALF ARSED THEY R!& DON'T GWT ME STARTED ON EA,ELECTRONIC ARTS?FUCKIN ARTS IN BEIN RIP OFF MERCHANTS!BUT IN REALITY ITS U FUCKIN CLOWNS THAT BUY ALL THEIR GARBAGE .FIFA,WHAT IS IT?23,24?wasn't the 1st FIFA releaⷻreleased in 1994 on the MD?SO IT SHOULD FIFA 29-ISH surely!?
So many gems so many classics and we never got this level of greatness from Sega outside this generation. I played a majority of these and never knew From Soft published the Otogi series! It makes so much sense with how fun and difficult the series is. I have never heard anyone speak on the series and had to put a few of my friends on to the games. So traversal was fluid and smooth, gameplay was butter and the fun factor extremely high for an action slasher!
I'd like to see a video on MISTer. I bought one and it's phenomenal. A dream come true for the retro gamer. I thought emulation on my high-end PC was more-or-less perfect but it doesn't compare well with MISTer. The games run like the real hardware. There's none of the lag in animation you get with software emulation. I can run CPS1, CPS2, Neo Geo, Irem games and others at 1080P with very nice scanlines. I can play Sega CD, PC Engine CD, SNES, Genesis etc. It's expensive but worth it and there's CPS3, Taito F3 and Saturn cores on the way.
wow I forgot SEGA had so many other games on the OG XBOX! definitely played a few of their in-house sequels like orta, crazy taxi 3, outrun 2006 (which I own on PS2, it's so good!) did not realize there were so many others!
This video is insanely timely for me, recently been going back and watching videos regarding how a lot of people consider the Xbox the unofficial Dreamcast 2. I'm very fascinated with that time period since that's right around when I was old enough to start buying my own systems and games. Although I've owned most consoles, I was a Sega kid growing up, and that morphed into being an Xbox guy once the Dreamcast was discontinued. Great video as always!!
I had all 4 128 bit consoles as a lad and remember loving all of them except for PS2. Ironic, but I am sure it is a fairly common sentiment. PS2 just felt like it had less of an identity. Jet Set Radio Future and House of the Dead 3 I remember making Xbox a magical time. Sega’s lineup on Sega had some serious jams.
PS2 and 6th gen's identity is the last hurrah for Japan as the dominant game development region. PS2 had the mainstream Japan IPs, while Xbox had a lineup of Japanese titles that you wouldn't really see from a AAA Western developer. 7th gen to present has been ruled by FPS, sandbox, scripted "cinematic" TPS from the West, while Japan had an uphill battle transitioning to HD AAA gaming
@@dxtremecaliber “Games” Yeah, and lots of filler junk.. Mr Mosquito, Demolition Girl, Bouncer, XSquad (no one remembers XSquad), Catwoman, Godai or wtf does that even mean, Sopranos, Surfing H3O, Crime Life, Narc, Zathura..
Gunvalkyrie was a surprise for me, loved the game and it’s intricate controls. One of the few games I can think of where the flying mechanics didn’t break the game. There were some tough platforming challenges too, if memory serves me correctly. Has been 20 years 😬
I only got to play Orta on the Xbox 1 and honestly the graphics and production were on par with late-stage 360 games. It's simply gorgeous, and still carried the spirit of PD1 I first played and loved at the Saturn's launch
Hey Sega Lord X do a Sega on the Sony PSP vid. There are enough titles to examine. Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, the Virtua Tennis games, Outrun 2006, Sega Genesis Collection, Sonic Rivals games, I'm sure there are more.
It was crazy time when in less than a year SEGA went from exiting the console industry forever to spreading their library out between their biggest rivals and competitors. Back in the 90s we never thought we'd see Sonic on a Nintendo console, or SEGA putting some of their best exclusives on a console made by the same company that gave us the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death lol!
Great video as usual bro. I never got the pleasure to own original Xbox system when it came out. Once the Dreamcast was dead I jumped over to the PS2 and kept playing my old DC games. I didn't jump ship to the Xbox, until the 360. Man I really missed out on alot of great sega content, I have to start collectong the games I liked on this list.
LOVE THIS CHANNEL MAN THANK YOU AND I ADORE THE ORIGINAL XBOX SO GLAD I PICKED ONE BACK UP FOR 30$ and 4 controllers back in 2020 because now they go for much more online.
Sega pretty much used the Xbox as a "Dreamcast 2", even though they made great games for the GameCube and PS2 the Xbox received a great number of sequels for their stabilished IPs and many other games with a very "Dreamcast-ish" feel like Spikeout.
From software was my love back in the ps1 era with armored core and kings field series and tenchu. The games they make have a certain look and feel to them that I just love.
When Sega ended the Dreamcast, I wanted Sega to team up with Nintendo and Xbox to take on the company that ended them. That was me being petty though lol. I was just happy that I could still play Sega games on all 3 platforms. And to get some sequels to Saturn/Dreamcast games was amazing.
That confused me until I read Official PlayStation Magazine at a friends house and it give me the answer to my question. Since on the cover that say you will know the way about Sega's new move.
OG Xbox is basically the Dreamcast 2. More than likely Microsoft got a lot of info from Sega when the Dreamcast was being developed and learned exactly what they needed from them. Great video! Makes me want to get an OG Xbox again.
For people who still play and collect for it it's also a good time to do so. I found shenmue 2 with the DVD and manual included at my local game store for like 6 bucks. Most Xbox games are still pretty affordable so if you're into that it's a good system to collect for at least for now.
I think you did a disservice to Sega Soccer Slam - take a look at that Metacritic score, for one thing! Reviews received it VERY well even if sales didn’t. But damn, Sega Soccer Slam still deservedly gets a lot of love from the few people who played it these days…. Honestly still my fave footie/soccer video game to date. You blew past it in a sentence and dubbed it “not well received,” but I think it deserves another look from you. Maybe that could be a future video? :)
I remember getting tuned into how good Spartan Total Warrior is when Tim Rogers kept writing about how good it was during the whole Acton Button Manifesto series of posts on that website back in the day. One of those games I would've had no idea was actually pretty fun!
You nailed it when you said the Xbox was the closest we got to a Dreamcast 2.
Even the modern era of Xbox feels like the spiritual successor to Sega. Carries their legacy.

And then of course Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 came along, which i wished I could have played since I was a huge fan of the PS series. Sadly around the time of 2004, i started college, and I felt like my gaming took a backseat to taking part in the college experience (namely doing school work, practicing, and being part of my student ministry), so more of the Sega games that came out around this time I had missed. Though eventually I did get to experience OutRun 2SP in the arcade at my local Gameworks (Rest in Peace), and loved it because, it was an updated OutRun with more fun gameplay. Eventually i did buy a copy on PS2, and I was stoked!
Luckily today, most of the games discussed that I was interested in Ive been able to play now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Looking forward to seeing whats next.
I never had an original Xbox growing up and I never knew there was a Crazy Taxi 3. I'd love to see a modern sequel to Jet Grind Radio. I think it has the potential to be one of the best looking games of all time if done well
Great to see the coverage extend beyond the end of Sega hardware. Awesome episode as always!
I loved this era of Sega! I feel it’s a bit underrated since the Dreamcast had just ended. Those Sega Sports games rival the ones released nowadays!
Yup, I played tons of sports games back in the day and Sega's releases were the ones I tended to go to first, except for a brief period of time where All-Star Baseball was N64 exclusive and ruled the MLB roost.
Sega's Xbox support was one of the reasons I leaned into the Xbox in that generation. Too bad it totally screwed Sega though, since no one in Japan bought the Xbox and a lot of their games weren't popular at all in the west :(
Back in the day, everyone abandoned SEGA Sports in favour of EA, oh how times have changed lmao.
Very informative video, now I can have my Sega on Xbox collection complete, I was missing a couple of these.
Great video! Me as many other people consider the OG Xbox to be the spiritual successor of the Dreamcast. I've been able to gather a few of those Sega games for the OG Xbox or for the Series X through backward compatibility. Sega went guns blazing as a game publisher and it showed firsthand!
I'm very excited to see how this channel will tackle SEGA after going 3rd party. Also yes, I have also viewed and continue to view the Xbox as the Dreamcast 2 and even now the Xbox as the most "SEGA-Like" when it comes to consoles and games.
The Sega games on the first Xbox where great, I've played almost all of them, I'm surprised there hasnt been a return to Otogi and Jet Set Radio for more sequels : )
Great video you posted. I remember when sega released Sonic Mega Collection+. Besides the Sonic 3d Blast for Saturn & Sonic Advance for the GBA, I never played the original Sonic games until sega released that collection. Once I got it, I immediately loved it. I was able to beat those games even though I didn't get all the chaos emeralds.
Man... I've digging up all my vintage consoles and games and let's just say it's a nostalgia-ridden trip down memory lane.
So far I've found my Dreamcast, PS2, and original XBox (as well as the GameCube) and all the games I ever bought for them stashed away in cardboard boxes but still in excellent shape, all thanks to this channel and the inspiration it's given me.
I'm so regretful I sold my original, Saturn, PS, and N64, along with literally dozens of games, which to this day makes me soooooo sad.
I still don't know if that dad who showed up that Saturday afternoon with his 3 kids even knew what he was getting for a measly $400 waaaaaay back in the summer of 2000... I hope he held on to that treasure.
I’ll tell you from personal experience after you’ve done something like that it’s best to just completely forget it, and never think of it again. I’ve made some dumb decisions both stuff I did buy and stuff I didn’t as well as stuff that I’ve given up for considerably less than the ridiculous amounts it’s worth today. And let me tell you it does no good to obsess about it because it’s done and over and you just have to move on.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu Yeah, no use on obsessing over spilled milk. Lesson learned tho. I'm never selling any of my consoles ever again.
@@marco1173
Exactly. The past is the past but lesson learned for the future.
And sometimes that's just how it has to go.
a bittersweet time. we were all hoping for sega to survive and thrive after leaving the dreamcast behind. well done sega lord x!
I still have my OG Xbox with a modchip and a 750GB hard drive. It is so, so valued to me.
Dude Otogi 1 and 2 are both amazing. I played the shit out of them back in the day. I would love to see that series come back, it's super underrated. The music, and bosses are so badass.
They are! Luckily they run great backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series X. Buy them digitally or just use the original disc.
Unfortunately, Sega is just milking the hell out of Yakuza and Sonic instead of reviving their best ips.
@@deathscythe9158 Otogi was developed by Fromsoft so maybe it will get a new title. Armored core is coming back so maybe :)
Hated both.
Sadly FromSoftware are far too busy making 50 Dark Souls games to care about visiting the Otogi games again
Astonishing how this guys channel has more subscribers then others that talk about all video game companies. Goes to show how well done this guys content is, furthermore how much influence and a following Sega still has.
I am going to stop everything I'm doing right now and direct my complete attention to this video. Now this is great content baby!
Great video! As an og Xbox collector (652 games at the moment) I made it an early milestone to get every Sega released game on the system. Most of them are awesome and I’m happy to own them!
I'm a collector of games from several consoles of the past, and I barely have over 600 all together, very impressive you have that many for one console alone. Man, I didn't know there were that many og Xbox titles!
@@kamenanew9867 Thanks! I think there's 814 PAL Xbox games in total, that's what I'm mainly collecting, adding in some NTSC and NTSC-J good ones there as well if possible.
@@Renk1 very nice man lol, can't wait to get a bigger place so I can display all my games, sadly currently a lot are in boxes. Still accessable tho!
@@Renk1 Im sure there's around 1000 or something OG XBOX games in the US! (Around 478 compatible on 360, I think 40 of them are Playable on One/Series?)
@@LennyQUMFIF Yes, the NTSC region has a lot more games than PAL. I'm European though so I mainly collect PAL. I have all the Xbox One/Series BC games already, they run great!
I was 7 when SEGA started publishing on Xbox, I had no idea they did so many besides Sonic, Panzor Dragoon and Shenmue. Thanks for making this list its cool. :)
If Sega just hung on a little longer back then, Dreamcast would be the ultimate console. This era might be Sega's creative and technical peak
Xcellent video! Love your content. Thanks for all the Sega love
14:06 this was 2 weeks ago and you still don't realize it's 480p?! Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog were stuck on VGA @$$ 640x480. Some games were actually closer to an anamorphic 4:3 640x400 on the GameCube/PS2, and the GameCube ruins Sonic Heroes with 32khz instead of 48khz that DVD media were clearly capable of.
Great work on this one! I knew most of these but there were several I either forgot about or didn’t know about at all.
Don’t know if you already have this planned but I’d love to see a similar video for the GameCube. Sega had a very strong showing there as well.
Literally right after I posted this comment you mentioned the other systems 😂
Guess I should watch the whole video before I comment
I didn't even know Headhunter had a sequel on Xbox. I liked the original on Genesis, I mean Dreamcast
Many of their games on the GC were great, however they did make a lot less games for the console than on the other 2 though, especially since the western sports brand stopped supporting the console after just 2 iterations (and giving free real state to EA in the system).
Great video! Can't wait for the ps2 and gamcube sega videos!
Never have an xbox, Saturn or Dreamcast, just playing a bit at my cousins house in 93 (sonic the hedgehog), and at my Junior High friends back in 98 (MK 2, MK3, WWE Wrestlemania, and Contra HardCorps) . But Sega leaves deep impression in my youth after only knew game in NES
Sonic Riders is based on the cancelled Sonic Extreme (2003) but is also at the same time a spiritual "successor" of the good ole Sonic R. I find that quite fascinating.
huh?
I completely forgot about this fact, I thought you were talking about the 90’s X-Treme but yes Sonic Riders was originally gonna be a tony hawk clone called Sonic Extreme
I just love that despite everything SEGA's been through in the past 40 years. It's still part of the video game industry and as a fan I hope it continues to be until the day I die... of old age.
Outside milking Sonic, and rereleasing mega drive games on a constant basis, it’s just not the same Sega anymore. Yu Suzuki had to crowdfund himself the budget for Shenmue 3, streets of rage 4 was licensing deal some French enthusiast paid Sega to do. We haven’t had a new Crazy Taxi since 3, no new outrun since 2006, no new Virtua fighter for 10 years. And that’s just old IP they aren’t redoing. When did Sega develop anything new for the first time? Technically they exist, but they aren’t really contributing that much to the scene anymore, just surviving on legacy.
@@sloppynyuszi Judgment and Lost Judgment were made in house by SEGA.
*Catherine* was made by ATLUS a former partner now in house developer for SEGA.
Their acquisition of other great developer studios like Creative Assembly and Relic Entertainment has allowed them to continue developing great games _(subjectively)._ Leading to Microsoft asking SEGA of Europe to create Age of Empires 4.
Their role as a publisher for other studios has also lead to the release of many other great titles too.
One day you might get the nostalgic sequel cash grab. But until then they're doing fine as they are.
This is what comes to mind when I imagine sequels.
Crazy Taxi 8, *Out Run 11* - _Over the Horizon_ or Virtua Fighter -Beta- 9 no, 2023.
Seventh generation killed Sega. Besides Sonic now they only have Yakuza,but they hit the jackpot with Atlus aquisition.
Sega needed a debt-free $500 million bailout from the chairman of their former parent company to transition to 3rd party, instead of shutting down home console development completely. Sega could have outright died in 2001, or they could have completely focused on their arcade/amusement business, which we all know shut down a couple years ago. Sega is very lucky they still exist today, along with Sega fans
Good review! It was a sad time when Sega left the console market back then, but I was glad to see them develop games for other platforms! I never owned an XBox so I missed out on most of these titles. I'm not sure if some of these were ever released on modern consoles (or Steam), but would love to check them out!
I only had a GameCube during the sixth gen, but the Cube got a number of great Sega games on it as well. I loved Billy Hatcher, Sonic Gems Collection, Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, Sonic Mega Collection, Puyo Pop Fever, and F-Zero GX!
I love your intro...so much nostalgia feels!
Aweome review. Sega had a great run! Love most of these games!
Getting games like outrun 2, panzer dragoon orta, Jet set radio future and shenmue 2 are main reasons why I bought an Xbox back in 2003 even though I already had a ps2.
a good tip for Shenmue 2 is to spend all your money buying capsule toys before the kid steals your backpack. then pawn them off later because you keep them without the backpack.
As always Great Video Man!! I've just spent the month of Dec going over many of your original videos. I will get through them all. Can't wait to see where you take us next. Cheers Mate.
great video as always, it was Sega games on Xbox and Gamecube that really got me into checking out their older stuff
Outrun 2 coast to coast is the nearest to perfection in the arcade driving genre. When you get in the zone and pull off drift after drift with the fantastic music its just feels so good and actually relaxing in a way. The graphics, sound and playability are unmatched to this day imho. Some of the burnout games come close but cant really be described as relaxing.
Another great video Mel! Outrun 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta were pretty much the entire reason I picked up an OG Xbox. House of the Dead 3 and Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast were awesome added bonuses.
Why u call him Mel like you know him😂
@@wussup12345 Because we've communicated outside of TH-cam and he contributed on one of my TH-cam videos last year. Good enough reason for you?
@@wussup12345 Also, what's the big deal? People I don't know in real life often refer to me by first name on my channel and it's not anything I'd even give a second thought to normally.
@@MrThunderwing it’s okay now
Great video as always sir. My fav era and system of gaming right here
Gunvalkyrie was completely awesome after I got use to the controls. I considered it to be a spiritual successor to Space Harrier. Except it was mission-based. With objectives and large play areas
Your take on it being a spiritual successor to SH makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I would describe it as a modern take on the schump genre. I would love to see a sequel or a spiritual successor to this game.
Gun Valkyrie would be really great with modern controllers with paddles. It was never going to be accepted with having to push R3 for flight. Sega will never revisit the game of course, but perhaps Microsoft could bring this and these other Sega games to Gamepass
Gunvalkyrie IMO did not feel like Space Harrier in the slightest! Apart from the two having aliens not much else comparatively. I would say the closest we got was with Planet Harriers for the Arcade back in 2000
Sega and MS always had an underrated relationship.
Jsrf is top tier and it Phil Spencer has said they tried to make it backwards compatibility but Sega didn't let them.
MS only had a 'relationship'with sega 2 steal knowledge & intel on R&D,development & marketin etc,knowin full well they planned their own console(as sony did with nin'con'tendo with DEV the CD add-on 4 the SNES,whilst again knowin full well they had what became the PSX in the works)BOTH COMPANYS,ALONG WITH FUCKIN EA r responsible 4 the state of 2days gaming landscape!ABSOLUTELY ZERO CREATIVITY ,IMAGINATION,RISK TAKING AND WORST OF ALL UTTER CONTEMPT & FUCK'UM ATTITUDE 2WARDS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE SCENE.......& THATS US!YOU & I,THE GAMERS!Cause after all THATS WHAT COMPETITION BREADS!CREATIVITY!
EXAMPLE-SONY WHO CAN'T EVEN BE FUCKIN ASSED 2 THINK OF A NEW NAME 4 THEIR NEXT CONSOLE,SHOWS HOW HALF ARSED THEY R!& DON'T GWT ME STARTED ON EA,ELECTRONIC ARTS?FUCKIN ARTS IN BEIN RIP OFF MERCHANTS!BUT IN REALITY ITS U FUCKIN CLOWNS THAT BUY ALL THEIR GARBAGE .FIFA,WHAT IS IT?23,24?wasn't the 1st FIFA releaⷻreleased in 1994 on the MD?SO IT SHOULD FIFA 29-ISH surely!?
So many gems so many classics and we never got this level of greatness from Sega outside this generation. I played a majority of these and never knew From Soft published the Otogi series! It makes so much sense with how fun and difficult the series is. I have never heard anyone speak on the series and had to put a few of my friends on to the games. So traversal was fluid and smooth, gameplay was butter and the fun factor extremely high for an action slasher!
I'd like to see a video on MISTer. I bought one and it's phenomenal. A dream come true for the retro gamer. I thought emulation on my high-end PC was more-or-less perfect but it doesn't compare well with MISTer. The games run like the real hardware. There's none of the lag in animation you get with software emulation. I can run CPS1, CPS2, Neo Geo, Irem games and others at 1080P with very nice scanlines. I can play Sega CD, PC Engine CD, SNES, Genesis etc. It's expensive but worth it and there's CPS3, Taito F3 and Saturn cores on the way.
wow I forgot SEGA had so many other games on the OG XBOX! definitely played a few of their in-house sequels like orta, crazy taxi 3, outrun 2006 (which I own on PS2, it's so good!) did not realize there were so many others!
This video is insanely timely for me, recently been going back and watching videos regarding how a lot of people consider the Xbox the unofficial Dreamcast 2. I'm very fascinated with that time period since that's right around when I was old enough to start buying my own systems and games. Although I've owned most consoles, I was a Sega kid growing up, and that morphed into being an Xbox guy once the Dreamcast was discontinued. Great video as always!!
Gotta love these kinds of videos from SLX! 💥💯
Spike out is a treasure of mine! I played it so much online
I had all 4 128 bit consoles as a lad and remember loving all of them except for PS2. Ironic, but I am sure it is a fairly common sentiment. PS2 just felt like it had less of an identity. Jet Set Radio Future and House of the Dead 3 I remember making Xbox a magical time. Sega’s lineup on Sega had some serious jams.
PS2 and 6th gen's identity is the last hurrah for Japan as the dominant game development region. PS2 had the mainstream Japan IPs, while Xbox had a lineup of Japanese titles that you wouldn't really see from a AAA Western developer. 7th gen to present has been ruled by FPS, sandbox, scripted "cinematic" TPS from the West, while Japan had an uphill battle transitioning to HD AAA gaming
PS2 has the identity it is its GAMES and still to this day thats what its known for
@@dxtremecaliber “Games”
Yeah, and lots of filler junk.. Mr Mosquito, Demolition Girl, Bouncer, XSquad (no one remembers XSquad), Catwoman, Godai or wtf does that even mean, Sopranos, Surfing H3O, Crime Life, Narc, Zathura..
I love his voice and enthusiasm
Gunvalkyrie was a surprise for me, loved the game and it’s intricate controls. One of the few games I can think of where the flying mechanics didn’t break the game. There were some tough platforming challenges too, if memory serves me correctly. Has been 20 years 😬
It's backwards compatible on Xbox Series X if you want to play it again.
@@NateRD90 Thanks, that’s good to hear. Unfortunately, I have not picked up XSX yet. The backward compatibility is appealing though.
Great video. I didn't realize how many games sega released on Xbox. I now have some surprise gems to go out and play!
Really great episode! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Really enjoyed it a lot. Do more like these! I agree with your idea to transition to Sega games after their consoles era.
Great Video! You can tell you put a lot of effort into this.
I only got to play Orta on the Xbox 1 and honestly the graphics and production were on par with late-stage 360 games. It's simply gorgeous, and still carried the spirit of PD1 I first played and loved at the Saturn's launch
my first xbox came with JSRF and sega gt 2002, and i couldnt be happier that it did
When I bought my XBOX I got the combo pack with it.
the ps2 and gamecube also got some SEGA exclusives, and also the handhelds, even when they didn't had a console, was a big generation for SEGA
Hey Sega Lord X do a Sega on the Sony PSP vid. There are enough titles to examine. Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, the Virtua Tennis games, Outrun 2006, Sega Genesis Collection, Sonic Rivals games, I'm sure there are more.
This is great! I got caught off guard with spike out. I didn't realize they released that on xbox
It was crazy time when in less than a year SEGA went from exiting the console industry forever to spreading their library out between their biggest rivals and competitors. Back in the 90s we never thought we'd see Sonic on a Nintendo console, or SEGA putting some of their best exclusives on a console made by the same company that gave us the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death lol!
Great video as usual bro. I never got the pleasure to own original Xbox system when it came out. Once the Dreamcast was dead I jumped over to the PS2 and kept playing my old DC games. I didn't jump ship to the Xbox, until the 360. Man I really missed out on alot of great sega content, I have to start collectong the games I liked on this list.
LOVE THIS CHANNEL MAN THANK YOU AND I ADORE THE ORIGINAL XBOX SO GLAD I PICKED ONE BACK UP FOR 30$ and 4 controllers back in 2020 because now they go for much more online.
I love that the original Panzer Dragoon was included with Orta.
Have almost all of these, except some of the sport titles and US exclusives. I would say Sega GT 2002/Online was my favourite.
Sega pretty much used the Xbox as a "Dreamcast 2", even though they made great games for the GameCube and PS2 the Xbox received a great number of sequels for their stabilished IPs and many other games with a very "Dreamcast-ish" feel like Spikeout.
It feel so weird to play Sega games on Nintendo and PlayStation console
@@PreciousAlpschindlerits been over 20yrs its normal
Great video! I loved Headhunter on Dreamcast didn’t know the sequel was on Xbox
From software was my love back in the ps1 era with armored core and kings field series and tenchu. The games they make have a certain look and feel to them that I just love.
When Sega ended the Dreamcast, I wanted Sega to team up with Nintendo and Xbox to take on the company that ended them. That was me being petty though lol. I was just happy that I could still play Sega games on all 3 platforms. And to get some sequels to Saturn/Dreamcast games was amazing.
Most of these games still hold up to this day, in both visuals and enjoyment.
Great video Sega Lord! I wasn't expecting this content. Something a little different. 👌👍
great video. love the flashbacks to the good old days 20 years ago
That confused me until I read Official PlayStation Magazine at a friends house and it give me the answer to my question. Since on the cover that say you will know the way about Sega's new move.
OG Xbox is basically the Dreamcast 2. More than likely Microsoft got a lot of info from Sega when the Dreamcast was being developed and learned exactly what they needed from them. Great video! Makes me want to get an OG Xbox again.
I actually just bought my very first OG xbox, so this video is right on time for me haha
So Sega was to Microsoft what Nintendo was to Sony?
For people who still play and collect for it it's also a good time to do so. I found shenmue 2 with the DVD and manual included at my local game store for like 6 bucks. Most Xbox games are still pretty affordable so if you're into that it's a good system to collect for at least for now.
I think you did a disservice to Sega Soccer Slam - take a look at that Metacritic score, for one thing! Reviews received it VERY well even if sales didn’t. But damn, Sega Soccer Slam still deservedly gets a lot of love from the few people who played it these days…. Honestly still my fave footie/soccer video game to date. You blew past it in a sentence and dubbed it “not well received,” but I think it deserves another look from you. Maybe that could be a future video? :)
Great vid, great content! Big Sega Fan myself, love your work!
I remember getting tuned into how good Spartan Total Warrior is when Tim Rogers kept writing about how good it was during the whole Acton Button Manifesto series of posts on that website back in the day. One of those games I would've had no idea was actually pretty fun!
I'm pretty sure Headhunter didnt appear on the Sega Genesis. Great video SLX!
Was a big fan of Shadow the Hedgehog, glad to hear you give it a fair shake.
Great video. I missed out on these as a ps2 kid
