Quote:
n 1998, Hidekazu Yukawa, Senior Managing Director of Sega, became an overnight celebrity in Japan when he began appearing in Sega commercials that were promoting their upcoming console, the Dreamcast. The first commercial shows Yukawa overhearing some kids disrespecting Sega and praising Sony and their own gaming console, the PlayStation. Saddened by this, he mentions what he had heard to his employees and later hits the streets to wallow in his own sorrow. While in his state of despair, some gang members rough him up and say some demeaning things to him. He finally staggers home where his wife finds him as a total mess. When the commercial ends, you hear a kid say: “Get on your feet, Yukawa!”


Yukawa’s acting was so good that it convinced viewers that he was a professional actor. After the public viewed the first few commercials he was in, Sega was flooded with emails and phone calls that were praising him. He became so popular that his face was put on prepaid convenience store cards and photo sticker booths. Kids even mimicked his acting from the commercials. He was so famous, Sega decided to put his face on the back of Dreamcast boxes so it could attract more customers into buying a Dreamcast. Sega also gave him his own website.

it had some eccentric and unique stuff. for its time graphics were pretty mind blowing ... but i can understand why somebody who got it around launch would be mad it got discontinued so quickly since they invested $300 or whatever

thing came out 15 years ago tomorrow. jeebus

First online system. The VMU was great and it looks like the industry has just gotten around to copying it with the Wii U controller to an extent. The controller itself is essentially the Xbox controller without the dual analog. I also remember you could rent the system from Blockbuster before it was actually released which was awesome.


So many good games too.

dreamcast was doing okay.. more of a too little too late kind of thing. things would've turned out different if it had a dvd player probably

i really liked the dreamcast controller design. nice joypad and trigger design and placement compared to the n64 and psx analog controllers.

Only one analog stick was boneheaded though
The ps1 already had two
There's no better way to control the camera in 3D games
