Which Dreamcast launch titles stick out to you? Next up: THE NINTENDO DS. Also, SINCERE APOLOGIES for calling Flag-to-Flag a Formula One game. That's me being an ignorant fool.
I remember playing Ready 2 Rumble, House of the Dead 2, and Sonic Adventure and thinking that video games would never get any better. Such an iconic system. 🙌🏼
This is why I feel sorry for kids these days; they'll never experience the sense of _awe_ we felt watching the generations turn from 8-bit to 16-bit to 32-bit to 64-bit to 128-bit, before we stopped counting bits altogether. They can look back at these games and say they look like shit, but at the time they came out we'd genuinely never seen anything like it. Soul Calibur especially absolutely _blew my goddamn mind_ the first time I saw it. These days, the PS5 comes out, and all the PS4 owners can really say is "Wow, that sure looks a little bit shinier than our old games! Look at that level of ultra-fine detail we're never even going to notice when the game is in motion anyway!" To my mind, gaming peaked at the 6th generation, of which the Dreamcast was the harbinger.
Well if you think about it sonic adventure and adventure 2 still do hold up as great titles, sad that they were better on the original system than the ported ones though. GameCube port wasn't to bad but man the other ones....
1 of the absolute best xmases ever was when i got the dreamcast on the xmas of its launch with Sonic Adventure and House of the Dead with the light guns... me and my dad played House of the Dead all xmas day and then when everyone had fallen asleep on xmas day in the armchairs in front of the tv i booted up the Dreamcast and played Sonic Adventure for hours and absolutely loved it
Now THAT is a proper gaming memory being shared awesome my man awesome! I got mine in november of '99 with power stone and sonic adventure...as for my experience i'll answer with a question ''have you ever had a dream come true?''
everytime a sports game pops up i skip it so i dont have to hear him say that, why does he say that ,Is he a masssive Sports fan or what? i mean he always says the sports games are shit, is he being ironic ????
@@RealBadGaming52 It's irony. There are just so many fucking sports games that you can't avoid them and he hates them but they are a staple of new consoles.
9-9-99 was a holiday for me as a 16 year old. I drove me and my best friend to pick up our pre-ordered systems (and games) from EB Games at the mall in metro Detroit. My mom let me skip school and call into work so I could play Soul Caliber and Sonic all day.
That was a great day for me, as well. It was also the first day for me at a new job, so I was nervous all day dealing with my new job but simply couldn't wait to get out and run to the store to pick up my Dreamcast I pre-ordered with Soul Calibur. I don't even recall if I slept that night. lol Such a great launch title.
I was 14. My mom picked me up at lunch and drove me to EB to pick up my preorder with Sonic and NFL 2K. But I still had to wait till after school to play it.
Soul Caliber, Power Stone, and Sonic Adventure were the reasons we got our Dreamcast. The Dreamcast really did have an amazing and diverse launch library.
TH-cam: * tells me there is a new launch game video by tripe jump * Me: Oh yea here we go: SPORTS TIME. Ive never played a (something) game, so i am giving this everything ive got.
@@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious The origins of that joke is the fact that every single console launch gets supported with multiple sports games, and he didnt feel like writing an original script for every single sports game. its literally an copy-paste joke
@@viktordjemin7262 that makes more sense thank you lol. Do you happen know why he specifically says "I've never played/watched___" and "I'm going to give this everything I've got"? Is it just a way of saying "I don't know much about sports but I'll do my best" or is it a reference to something?
@@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious He says it in every single launch game episode,its a running joke. and yes its not a reference to anything, its just saying that he doesnt know much about sports.
@@drizztdourden666not here to bash either system, but the Dreamcast didn’t make Sega bankrupt, their stupidity with the 32x and Saturn were the reason Sega almost broke. Sega was very incompetent at the decision making and for this reason their brand became a liability and gamers didn’t want to have a failure of a system which made the system inevitable fail. N64 had some very good ideas, but ultimately the cartridges and the 2 years behind the competition cost it it’s edge. I had a PlayStation as my console in the 32bit gen, but I had a good time with a N64 and both consoles were amazing in their own right. The Dreamcast is a console that O’ve skipped completely till 7 or 8 years ago, and it is amazing too, it’s a shame Sega couldn’t support it and had to get out of the hardware business, but it could be even more legendary with more games and time. And a dual analog controller to keep up the competition
@@drizztdourden666 lol low poly n64 is so much better than dreamcast that dosent look like shit ok buddy if sony and sega werent horribly incompetent when it came to copy protection theyd be far mor sucsessfull
Greatest video game memory and Christmas memory was when I got Shenmue I wanna say in 99’?? Easily the best video game memory ever! Just so nostalgic and such a warm memory that whole day. Seriously one of the greatest days of my life.
Blue Stinger is actually a cult hit among horror game fans, or Retro game fans, it might not have aged terribly well but it's definitely still fun and campy.
I absolutely loved playing Crazy Taxi on the demo Dreamcast in my local Choices rental. At one point I wanted a Dreamcast just for that. Strange to think it's now free on mobile...
will never forget my friend getting a dreamcast, hooking it up to a monitor, and playing both Sonic and Soul Calibur, blew me right the fuck away. To this day it was the single biggest jump in graphical performance gen to gen, and I don't think we'll ever see a jump like that again.
I still remember how my older brother got the Dreamcast japanese version way before it came to USA and then I finally got the English version for Christmas with Crazy Taxi, Sonic, Suzuki racing and Hydro Thunder. Best Christmas.
U can literally get an emulater for your phone and play every game they had I'm currently re playing Ray man 2 and resident evil veronica give it a go I bet u will love it and its very easy
@@scotty8929 did you read the comment? It said “I hope sega makes a dream cast” not “I wonder how to play sega games on pc and phone” get a big brain bro
Dreamcast felt like some weird dream where it was to good to be true. As much as some do the console war thing, Dreamcast was in a league of its own. Up until about 5 years ago I STILL had my memory card for it that you could play a game on.
Not at launch it wasn’t. Sega canceled the official light guns, probably due to columbine, and it would take a few months for the 3 party ones to hit the market
@Por Qué? Ah ok. My comment was on the context of the video. Since he’s playing all the launch titles, it really wouldn’t make sense to review it with the guns, since they weren’t available when the game launched. If it were just a general review, than yeah. It was designed as a light gun, and it should absolutely be played that way
On balance, the "I've played an American football game before" (Flashback: "I've played an American football game") bit is one of my favourite TJ gags. Just perfection.
Very surprised you didn't mention the animals you raise in Sonic... Not gonna lie, I haven't played it in a long time but I remember visiting that garden a lot!
House of the Dead 2 is pure nostalgia! I remember going back to it with my best friend when we were 20 or so, and found it considerably easier than when we were 8!
“Alarmingly, Wikipedia says that the known control issues were mostly fixed in time for the American release, begging the question of... what were they like before!?” Omg, I’m dying of laughter at this for some reason this is amazing! This whole video is totally hilarious, I’m subbing for sure. It’s great to see another British youtuber too btw. ^_^
I genuinely enjoy reading a comment showing somebody finding something I thought was just mildly amusing as absolutely hilarious. Reminds me that the exact same video I'm watching is having different effects on different people.
Wow! What a line-up! I enjoyed so many of these games - Power Stone, Ready to Rumble, Trick Style, Soul Calibur! My memory is getting it home, playing the demo disc, then going back to the store that afternoon to buy three more games.
Best on here are Trickstyle, Power Stone, Soul Caliber, Hydro Thunder, Ready 2 Rumble and Sonic Adventure! Trickstyle is one of my all time faves, but you do have to get used to the controls and the way you have to time your speed and tricks. But when you get the hang of it and win races while pulling off those beautiful tricks its so satisfying. Beautiful, futuristic game with an awesome soundtrack to back it up
Pen Pen Triicelon is a blast. One of my favorite Dreamcast games and racing games in general. Started on Genesis and N64 but was givin a Dreamcast from a yard sale when I was 11 with a box of games. That's when I truly felt like a gamer.
Blitz and NFL 2K were absolute classics. There were, and are, still animations in NFL2K you cannot do today. You used to be able to co-op, you could pick the FB, lead block for your buddy, and literally decleat people in your path. Most fun sports game I've ever played
Love the Dreamcast. I visited my friend at the gameshop he worked at and played Sonic Adventure. My dad picked me up and I told him how cool it was. He says "Oh, do you want one?" So we turned around and bought one!
I remember the Dreamcast launch quite well. It was the first console I purchased while out on my own. I say this because...without anyone stopping me I went insane. It started out small at first with Soul Calibur, NFL2K, and House of The Dead 2. However, by the second week all of my "sensibilities" went right out the window. I walked into EB and took over the Dreamcast section like I was at a fire sale. In one weeks time I purchased- Power Stones, Ready to Rumble, Hydro Thunder, Airforce Delta, and Sonic Adventure. You would think after purchasing 8 games during the launch window would satiate my gaming appetite but you would be wrong. The following two weeks happened in a blur that can only be described as gluttony. I snagged Blue Stinger, Tokyo Extreme Racing, NFL Blitz 2000, Trickstyle, Mortal Kombat Gold, and finally Aero Wings. For those that are counting...that's 14 of the 18 launch titles. Thankfully, I had a great job and at 50 bucks a pop they were a steal, well most of them. By the time the next load of games hit I really slowed down. I think my next two purchases were Dead or Alive and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Addendum- Too this day, everytime a new console drops I go completely bananas. My one saving grace is having a fiancee that's every bit the gamer I am and she supports my shenanigans fully. I haven't missed a console launch since 1995 and I don't ever plan on stopping. Although this new 70 dollar price point isn't great (it still didn't slow me down). We were able to secure both the Xbox Series X and PS5 *physical at launch. By the Dreamcast launch comparison I went light. I wound up buying 8 games for them so far (not each)...;)
@@Ashitaka0815 Depends on the games. Polygon games look great but games with sprites look very pixelated. A good example is Marvel Vs Capcom 2. With my set up, the background graphics are sharp and crisp because they are polygons but the characters are really pixelated. I don't remember them looking that pixelated on a CRT. I think I'm going to have to get a good CRT for the sprite-based games.
@@sidearmsalpha yes most 2D games look pixelated, because they use sprites for the characters which are optimized for 240p instead of 480p. I don't mind as the pixels itself are relatively sharp (or "blocky") instead of blurry, but I also like their organic look on a CRT in all phosphor glowing goodness (why I have a Trinitron CRT as well). However there is one exception I can recall, that's Guilty Gear X. This games sprites are of notably higher resolution and optimised for 480p, makes a lot of difference and looks quite good on a modern TV.
I feel so fortunate, as a Gamestop employee of this era I got to play all of these as they were released free of charge as we had the employee checkout system in the day! Such an amazing time to be a gamer!
Dreamcast was the first console I got at launch with Blue Stinger, Mortal Kombat Gold & Sonic Adventure. Still the most memorable console I owned 20 years later
I still have this console collecting dust in my parents' attic. It's up there on my list of favorite consoles. I played the shit out of Soul Calibur and Tokyo Xtreme Racing (and TXR2). I even bought the light gun for House of the Dead. You really need to review more from the Dreamcast...too many great games to skip over!
Wasn't Virtua Fighter 3 a launch title? It was a great game too. There are fantastic games even 20 years later like Soul Calibur, Power Stone, House of the Dead 2, Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, and other good games like Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Ready to Rumble... A fantastic lineup.
My absolutely favorite video game console of all time and still play it to this day with almost 200 games and arcade sticks and multiple versions of the console. I love the Dreamcast
It’s a shame that MK Gold was such a rush job. It could have been the best home port of MK4. The lazy animations of the 5 added characters (especially during their finishing moves) and other various glitches definitely brought it down a few points. Regardless, I actually still enjoyed playing it, and I still play it to this day with my 10-year-old lol NFL 2K, Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi, and Soul Calibur still get played regularly on my Dreamcast as well. Great games!
Oh yeah here we go, a Dreamcast video! Now I used to own a Dreamcast but this is my first time commenting on a Dreamcast video, so I'm gonna comment with everything I've got.

The Dreamcast was a great console with awesome exclusives and excellent, for its time, graphics.
I don't know if it's just me but the close out music for these is a real chill bop and I wish I could have it on loop to chill myself to sleep with!
I was dissapointed I didnt hear "oh yeah, here we go, MOTORSPORTS TIME" on the CART game
well, if they get to the xbox there is a nascar game at the launch.
wanna say the ps2 also had a launch title too

No, just the American ones.
I'm glad I still have mine.
Not so glad I don't have any room to set up an old CRT TV.
Dreamcast looks quite decent on modern tv's if you use a VGA cable and convert it to HDMI.
@@Ashitaka0815 Depends on the games. Polygon games look great but games with sprites look very pixelated. A good example is Marvel Vs Capcom 2. With my set up, the background graphics are sharp and crisp because they are polygons but the characters are really pixelated. I don't remember them looking that pixelated on a CRT. I think I'm going to have to get a good CRT for the sprite-based games.
@@sidearmsalpha yes most 2D games look pixelated, because they use sprites for the characters which are optimized for 240p instead of 480p. I don't mind as the pixels itself are relatively sharp (or "blocky") instead of blurry, but I also like their organic look on a CRT in all phosphor glowing goodness (why I have a Trinitron CRT as well).
However there is one exception I can recall, that's Guilty Gear X. This games sprites are of notably higher resolution and optimised for 480p, makes a lot of difference and looks quite good on a modern TV.
That Monaco GP segment was hilarious.
I feel so fortunate, as a Gamestop employee of this era I got to play all of these as they were released free of charge as we had the employee checkout system in the day! Such an amazing time to be a gamer!
Honestly if I had this at launch & had Powerstone, Sonic & Soul Calibre I would not have been disappointed.
Although it wasn't a launch game, Toy Commander was a great game!! :D
Dreamcast was the first console I got at launch with Blue Stinger, Mortal Kombat Gold & Sonic Adventure. Still the most memorable console I owned 20 years later
I still have this console collecting dust in my parents' attic. It's up there on my list of favorite consoles. I played the shit out of Soul Calibur and Tokyo Xtreme Racing (and TXR2). I even bought the light gun for House of the Dead. You really need to review more from the Dreamcast...too many great games to skip over!
Same games I played the hell out of also.
I had thought Sonic Adventure was the only game I played on the dreamcast......then I seen the Ready 2 Rumble footage and it all came back to me
Is there a Simon Miller reference in every video now? Hahaha love it!
Wasn't Virtua Fighter 3 a launch title? It was a great game too.
There are fantastic games even 20 years later like Soul Calibur, Power Stone, House of the Dead 2, Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, and other good games like Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Ready to Rumble...
A fantastic lineup.
House of the Dead 2 with the Dreamcast gun controller was amazing. I can remember queuing up to pick all the kit up like it was yesterday ...
this series is top quality and big respect for bringing brian butterfield into the fray
I wasn't a huge fan of Ben on whatculture, but I was dying laughing this whole video. Well done
"well i have to ride the girth 2000 now don't i" had me in tears
Support TripleJump! Join the Walrus Clan! Really loving these videos Ben, keep 'em coming!
My absolutely favorite video game console of all time and still play it to this day with almost 200 games and arcade sticks and multiple versions of the console. I love the Dreamcast
These lists are always the most relaxing!
Ready To Rumble was THE game that sold the Dreamcast to me! Amazing!
Amazing commentary A+++++, I loved the dreamcast
I remember getting this the first day with Powerstone. Powerstone is still one of my favorite fighting games
the only console I ever pre-ordered and picked up at an after midnight gamestop opening.
These looks like a amazing launch line up too me....and my memories def agree with me lol
Before actually watching this video I’m just gonna say Dreamcast had the greatest launch of all time and no other console ever came close
"Yeah, I prolly coulda been a lot better parent"🤣🤣🤣
I have several genuine belly laughs in each video. Thanks for the fun videos Ben.
I lost my Dreamcast around 2008 while moving, bought one with GDEmu this year of pandemic. Always a good fun.
Absolutely loving this series! Keep it up
It's a Triple Jump Launch Game video!!! I will mess my bed in excitement tonight
Loved the video! You made me laugh and it was quite interesting. Thank you!
11:45 started to lose hope before it popped up on the screen 😂
It’s a shame that MK Gold was such a rush job. It could have been the best home port of MK4. The lazy animations of the 5 added characters (especially during their finishing moves) and other various glitches definitely brought it down a few points. Regardless, I actually still enjoyed playing it, and I still play it to this day with my 10-year-old lol
NFL 2K, Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi, and Soul Calibur still get played regularly on my Dreamcast as well. Great games!
Oh yeah here we go, a Dreamcast video! Now I used to own a Dreamcast but this is my first time commenting on a Dreamcast video, so I'm gonna comment with everything I've got.
Ready 2 Rumble round 2, Soul Calibur, & Dead or Alive were my favorite dreamcast games
Dreamcast was the first console I bought with all my own money at 16 years old. It was a fun day.
