my friends and I played Power Stone 1 and 2 into oblivion up to 2004; unfortunately then I moved and missed contact with the DC lads, so my go-to 4P fightans became SSBM, then Bleach Blade Battlers 2nd, then SSBB

They do have a lot of similarities but Dreamcast does have the advantage of having a lot of arcade ports similar to Saturn. Pretty much it's what Saturn should have been, even in the 90's this was basically the consensus

Sonic Shuffle and Power Stone were built for it

Memory card in the controller makes perfect sense, the xbox also had that but you didn't really need one.

You are right, people played mostly online rather than local multiplayer, you could even play FPS with a mouse and keyboard.

Dreamcast has been my favorite console from day one and the N64 is my close second, I'm sure those types you describe exist but it's not all of us. I will say most of the Dreamcast hugboxes are full of snooty shitheads and should be avoided.

>> No.9910865

Because Sony was re-using parts from the PS1 when designing the PS2, esp. when it comes to BC. 4 controller ports would look weird and likely wouldn't work with software due to how the controller port protocols were implemented.

N64 had better 3d platformers and arguably better adventure games. I cant think of a 2d platformer on DC so i guess mischief makers, Geomon and Kirby win that for n64 too.

DC had better fighting, and more survival horror, rpgs and shmups. And of course light gun since the 64 didn’t have any.

Racings a pretty close call. Rail shooters and 3rd person shooters too.

I’d honestly give fps games to the n64. All the fps games except Outrigger on DC were just inferior pc ports. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Doom 64 are all great.

Online multiplayer was the Dreamcasts real strength.

>> No.9913845

never had one of these as a kid as i was too young, but i am thinking of getting one of these and try to play PSO on it.
good idea?
