20 Best Sega Dreamcast Games of All Time

- This is the finale of Best Games Ever!
The gaming industry is filled with sales injustices. There was Titanfall 2, which was sent out to die in an impossible release window with it now just being used as nostalgia bait for Apex Legends. Then there’s Panzer Dragoon Saga, which released at a time when there were few people still playing the Saturn and its sales suffered. However, for our money, the biggest undeserved failure in gaming history has to be the Dreamcast. The whole thing.
Sega discontinued the Dreamcast more than two decades ago, yet the console maintains a dedicated following to this day. It’d be easy to chalk this up to the curiosity of younger gamers and the nostalgia of older ones, however, doing so overlooks the true source of the Dreamcast’s enduring appeal: its amazing library of games.
Not only did Sega’s final foray into the hardware market boast a series of exceptional arcade ports, but it was also the go-to platform for innovative console exclusives at the turn of the millennium, while its innovations, including online console play, proved what a trendsetter it really was. By the end of the Dreamcast’s three-year run, it had delivered a string of classic games across virtually every genre, many of which still hold up well today.
With that in mind, here’s a round-up of the best Dreamcast games ever made. Whether you’re booting up your console for the umpteenth time or just downloaded a retro gaming emulator, each of these titles will leave you as happy as Sonic in a new pair of sneakers, or as happy as a Sonic fan when they get made a moderator on their favourite forum.

Blew my little 8 year old mind bro
Both Sonic Adventure games even in 2024 still GOATED.
Dreamcast sales were actually quite strong. It just wasn't enough to undo all the serious mistakes Sega made before then

Why Nintendo didn't buy Sega and make them make games specifically for Nintendo. The 2 together would've been unstoppable
That's one thing, but the PlayStation 2 also gave the DC a run for its money. People simply wanted the PS2 more. If the PS2 didn't exist, the DC probably would've done far better commercially.
Nope people waited for the ps2
I’m so glad I was a teenager when the Dreamcast hit so I could FULLY appreciate it

I had an itch to replay silent hill 2 so I went to a retro gaming store to buy the av cables for my ps2 slim. I get home only to find out they sold me the wrong av cables. I kept them and ended up finding my original cables in storage. After beating silent hill 2 I was looking through the old Dreamcast games I had and saw resident evil 2 and Veronica. I found the power supply cord but not the av cables. Out of sheer luck the av cables sold to me at the retro store were the exact ones I needed for the Dreamcast. I’ve been reliving my childhood for the past month now out of a happy accident. Silent hill 1 & 2 on my ps2 slim and resident evil 2 & Veronica on the Dreamcast. I feel incredibly lucky especially after seeing the prices of these games let alone the consoles. Never letting these go again
25k gang! Been a great series. love the content. Had it on repeat! cheers
What an incredible list. Bravo,sir. Bravo. Skies of Arcadia and Soul Calibur and definitely the best games on a system full of incredible games.
I would love to see the series continue! It’s been great! Here are some systems I would like to see. I would like to see the top 20 Neo Geo Aes games. Also, the top 20 Turbografx 16/cd games. I think it would be cool to see the top 20 Sega Cd games (that system is slept on and has a plethora of good titles). I would like to see a top 20 Atari Jaguar/Jag cd games and finally, I would like to see a top 20 32x games (the first 10 would be easy but then it would get challenging after that. An odd one, I think it would be cool to see as well is the top 20 3DO games (another system that is slept on that has a good amount of good games on it). Cheers!
As an American NFL 2K would 100% have to be on the list - it was huge. NBA was hugely popular also but NFL 2K was a literal game changer.

NFL2K was crazy good. I grew up pretty uninterested in American Football but when that game came out ... Played it every day with my buddy for about a year
Yes, 2K was a true NFL fans depiction of what football was.
NFL 2K Football destroys Madden!!!! That’s why EA had to buy NFL exclusive rights, it could not compete with NFL 2K!!
Still better than new maddens imo
Cannon Spike not making this list is a crime against humanity
25K gang! Keep up the great video series!
25k Gang! Had fun watching through the series!
Today, I'm still playing most of these, but especially Soul Calibur!
I use the Re-Dream emulator, and let me tell you; Soul Calibur in 4k is just jaw-dropping, even in 2024!
Daasmn I'd love to see that
@@42calking53 The 1080p version is absolutely free... And it looks awsome!!!!
Dive in and let me know
😁
Soul calibar my fav game 😭😭
25k Gang! Love the series!!!
Still love playing my DC today. The new fan translations they bring out keep me bringing it out
25K gang! these have been a really relaxing watch
25k gang! I watched all the series. Great lists.
The Sega Dreamcast had a variety of popular and critically acclaimed games. Some of the best games on the Dreamcast include:
Shenmue: An open-world adventure game known for its detailed environments and immersive storytelling.
Sonic Adventure: A 3D platformer featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and other characters, showcasing the capabilities of the Dreamcast hardware.
Soulcalibur: A highly praised fighting game known for its smooth graphics and deep combat mechanics.
Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in North America): A unique cel-shaded action game that involves graffiti, skating, and a stylish soundtrack.
Phantasy Star Online: An online multiplayer RPG, one of the earliest console games to offer online play.
Skies of Arcadia: A turn-based RPG with a focus on exploration and airship battles.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica: A survival horror game that continued the Resident Evil series, featuring detailed graphics and intense gameplay.
Crazy Taxi: An arcade-style racing game where players take on the role of a taxi driver, trying to earn as much money as possible in a limited time.
These are just a few examples, and the Dreamcast had a diverse library of games that catered to various genres and preferences.
The Sega Dreamcast was released in North America on September 9, 1999, with a launch price of $199.99 USD.
Imagine using chatgpt to comment on TH-cam videos because you're too stupid to write your own.
I picked up the Steam versions of a few of these when they had the Dreamcast Collection bundle on for dirt cheap of few years back.
25K Gang! Great series!
25K GANG! Have really enjoyed this series.
Such a great video ❤ I've recently bought a BRAND NEW DREAMCAST.... modded it and enjoy best games ever 🎉
25K gang! Honestly, this was a great series, this can't be the end! How about Sega CD, Turbografx, 3DO or 32x?

@@MonsterfromHell2543I bet you’re fun at parties.
I remember getting a dreamcast and all the peripherals soon after launch, probably traded my N64 but can't remember, and then finding it difficult to find games. No internet in any meaningful way back then, crappy dial up, so no online shops to get games from, and Electronics Boutique or Future Zone or whatever it was then only had a few games. I loved the games I did get, Crazy Taxi, Typing of the Dead, even Sega Worldwide Soccer, but I soon let it go for a PS2 when that came out. I regret that I traded any system now but it was the only way to get the newest one.

Missing Best Turbografx 16 and PC Engine games! That's a console even more underrated than the Dreamcast. Good list btw. Skies of Arcadia was on GameCube as well. I'd like to mention Alien Front Online. Was so much fun back in the day.
25K gang! It’s kinda sad that the series is ending, yet there’s still more consoles that have yet to even have lists about them. I love this series and hope to see more!

What is that theme you use in the background? It sounds like Grandia 1, Mario RPG, and Chrono Trigger in one song
Battle theme from Grandia2
You should do a series for best home computer games of all time. Covering ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari ST, Amiga etc.
Sega Dreamcast games even in 2024 are still amazing! Wish it can be played on PS3 RETROARCH though.😢
Street Fighter III: 3rd strike should be #1!
Conflict Zone was my first RTS, wish I could find a PC port!!

Imagine if Dreamcast had a DVD-Rom, it will be strong enough to compete with PlayStation 2 until the end of 2000's
The controller also needed to have two analogs and shoulfer buttons above the triggers.
And better rubber on the analogs .
I tried Shenmue 2 and just ended up getting lost, it was huge compared to the first one.

It's the best Sega Dreamcast game of all time, besides Shenmue 1. Code Veronica is 3rd best.
@@leadme2thebliss21 Have to say, the DC maybe short-lived but they produced some really good games for that period.
I am not as much into fighting games so my list would be very different. I do like the ready to rumble games so i oddly might have added one or 2 fighting games. I also would have had to have had Toy Commander, Headhunter, Sonic Adventure 1 and Blue Stinger in there. Maybe also Wacky Racer.
Great video 👏👏👏👍 but for PAL region is #4 called "Jet Set Radio"? I thought Jet Set Radio was the second installment of the game. Wasn't the original game called "Jet Grind Radio"?
Jet set radio and jet grind radio are the same, the titles are just different based on the regions they're in.
The 2nd installment was Jet set radio future
Never heard of Typing of the Dead before, I’d be screwed as I rely on spellcheck so much!
Looks like your next video we’ll have to say 28k gang
and now it's time to swing back around and do the 20 best hidden games for each platform. lol

This channel is gonna get a million subs by the end of 2024. 👌🏼👽🛸❤️
It would be a hoot to see if you could actually come up with 20 good Jaquar games. It was Atari's last system, so there might be some interest.
25k gang! Let’s go!
The Dreamcast didn't fail, the Saturn just failed so poorly that SEGA was dead before the Dreamcast even had a chance to save them
I loved them both.
What's the racing game at the end of video ? Btw, I'll watch video about Atari.
Hmm 🤔 No Metropolis Streetracer?
I thought that one was neat... Although, it could be difficult as hell to unlock the cars.
And of course, the radio song, there's a bullet in my gun.... Sigh, memories ☺️
Wait up! This can't be the end! There are at least 5 consoles good enough to be covered:
- Atari
- MSX
- PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16
- Neo Geo
- 3DO

Shenmue had me in a chokehold back then.
What was that game in the intro with the big alien mecha? I used to play that with my mom and I need the name so bad.
It was at 1:45. We also used to play the shooter game with animals.
I think its Alien Front Online
Really tough system to rank imo because its the end of one era and the start of another. A lot of the revolutionary games also show up on Gamecube or Xbox and sometimes with sequels.
I also have to say that Code Veronica might be one of the most polarizing games of all time. I've seen numerous youtube channels trash the game. It also seems to commonly get high praise.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure for DC is my personal favorite :)

what game is it at 25:03 ?
Yeah what is it?! Looks like some Diablo clone!
Thanks for the video I just ordered is super console X Pro 5 period it has every Dreamcast GameCube N64 game every PS1 game and 600 + PS2 games. I can't wait😂😂😂 package from China
haha best of luck! remember to not feed it after midnight or it may become self-aware
@CulturedVultures well if it becomes self-aware I'll teach it like I do my grandkids ...to be a smart-ass and not a dumbass. maybe It can help me beat some of these ridiculous levels
man just get you a mid-to-low end pc and emulate them instead of that unreliable crap
Shout out to Head hunter
One of my fav games on Dreamcast
Soft spot for Redemption too!
No Evolution? Scandalous.
Shenmue at 8? Ummm that's one of the top 5 games of all time on any console. That's crazy. I last beat this game in 2015 and it was still very enjoyable.
Not a top 5 all time for sure
It's THE best game of all time brother.
Name me a better one?
Street fighter…
When everyone says something is underrated, it ceases to be underrated. Saturn is the most underrated console :D

Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game series, but 2 is the best in the series. It's a shame the Dreamcast didn't make it long enough to get a port of that game.
Thanks for all your input on the channel, hope you're enjoying it! :D
Best Atari arcade games that didn't get a home release , or the best of the ones that did
I have a special personal history with the Dreamcast, and this list is borderline upsetting. I respect the work, but there are too many mistakes for me to stay quiet.
25K GANG!!!!!
Top 5 under rated for each console! 😁

Haha nice, the happy Chao music plays while a zombie survival horror game is commented on. For survival horror game I would also throw in Alone in the Dark as a suggestion.
They had a cool boxing game game if I remember correctly
Ready to Rumble… a great and funny game!
Keep the music and the narrator voice for crazy taxi and im in
Dynamite Cop 2
Speed Devils
4 Wheel Thunder
Sega Rally 2
Virtua Fighter 3
Giga Wing
Psyvariar

Wonder how many got the Hugh Grant joke 😃
25K Gang !
25K gang!
Its hard to disagree with your list except for No NFL 2K. 🙄
There were actually A LOT good games ( Sure there was some shovelware as there is with any system.) on the DC! I Got like 40+ games in my collection but I wish I had Maken X, HeadHunter, Super Magnetic Neo and EGG ( Elemental Gimmick Gear.)
I got a copy of TR The Last Revelation and it is REALLY Beautiful plus Fun! 😎
25k gang!!
What about Rayman 2?
It's the defintive port of the game much like Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 which was listed instead =(
I Hate SEGA
I HATE SEGA
I HAAAAAAATE SEGAAAAA
ps2 port of Rayman 2 is better
25k GANG!
Blue Stinger!!!!
Worms armageddon hands down the best game
Where are Virtua Tennis and Metropolis street racer ?
I’m just gonna say space channel 5 should be taken off and virtua tennis should be added other than that, it’s a pretty good list
actually the dreamcast THPS2 doesn't get the gameplay just right. there is a few goals that are MUCH harder to get completed on the dreamcast as your just don't get as much air in the dreamcast compared to other releases.
I'm sorry but it's not THPS2 and THUG2 it's THPS3 and THUG1 as goated my friend.
25k gang! 🦫
I first played Shenmue on Dreamcast. Beat it on PS4. I say, I can appreciate it but most won't. It is too clunky. I haven't gotten to the second one yet.
ChuChu Rocket!
