In honor of Whatcha Playin Wednesday falling on Dreamcast day we couldn’t help but take a second and talk about some of our favorite classics!
When looking back on the Dreamcast, a mountain of memories always comes flooding back. And naturally with so many fond moments and memories, picking a favorite is pretty impossible lol. But below are 4 of our favorites, in no order!
For me, San Francisco Rush: 2049 will always be home. It encapsulates so much of what I adore of the era. The colors, textures and vibe of the game are truly everything I love about arcade racing. That’s also probably why it’s still in my top 5 games overall, lol. The second is an easy choice, Jet Set Radio! This game truly made me fall in love with cel-shading. Everything about Jet screams California color and truly to date is one of the best experiences I had on any console! It was also a huge influence on my sense of style as a kid 😂
As for Adam, Skies Of Arcadia was THE JRPG for the Dreamcast. Its a deft blend of exciting turn-based combat, fun sky-faring adventure, and an over-the-top anime story and art style that makes it a true one of a kind of its era! And for his equally loved second choice,
Power Stone 2 was my favorite of the many Capcom fighting games released for the system, a fun party-type fighting game with wild environments, over the top special moves, and a robust roster of rowdy fighters!
What about everyone else? When you think Dreamcast, what favorites come to mind?
