[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 68663, member: 1196"] Sega in the DC days was a focused company firing on all cylinders. Shen Mue, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Jet Grind Radio, Space Chanel 5 1 and 2, Rez, Cosmic Smash, Virtua Tennis series, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter, Daytona, Sega GT, Samba De Amigo 1 and 2, House of the Dead 2, Zombies Revenge, Dynamite Cop, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, Alien Front Online, Out Trigger, Phantasy Star Online 1 and 2, hell the Bass Fishing games which are awesome....even Sega USA was doing amazing things with the 2K sports line... This is just a taste of Sega 1st party, on a console that had a life span of roughly 2 years. And that's only half the story. Many Naomi games were left in arcades, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future, Virtua Fighter 4 and Beach Spikers were all supposed to be Dreamcast games before Sammy pulled the plug on the console. I love Nintendo, I really really do but let's be honest, they are really conservative and are not big with taking risks, doing new IP. I can't think of a single new IP, outside of the Wii-blank line, that doesn't involve Mario somehow. My favorite Gamecube racer, F-Zero GX, is completely programmed by Sega. Of course this was a decade ago though. The Sega we have today is but a shell of it's former self. I feel like the Wii, was basically the console that Sega should have done. If you take all of Sega's crazy peripherals from the Dreamcast days... the Samba De Amigo maracas, the Sega Bass Fishing controller, a steering wheel, a light gun, the microphone from Sea Man and Alien Front Online... and you put them all together into a single controller design... that's the Wii mote, in a nutshell. True fact, you can actually use the Bass Fishing remote in Virtua Tennis to simulate a Wii-Tennis like gameplay experience. And during that time the team at Midway who made the Ready 2 Rumble games, was experimenting with motion controls. Sega also was the first to attempt a real online system, but they didnt' charge for it like Xbox live. [/QUOTE]
