==Why It's Thinking== #It ends the Sega console market on an extremely high note. That's why, this is Sega's farewell console. #Many great titles, including ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', ''[[Shenmue]]'', ''[[Metropolis Street Racer]]'', ''[[Jet Set Radio]]'', ''[[Ikaruga]]'', ''Crazy Taxi'', ''Power Stone 2'', ''SoulCalibur, NBA 2K and NBA 2K1, NFL 2K and NFL 2K1, NHL 2K and NHL 2K2.'' #It was the first home console to include a modem to connect to the Internet for online play out of the box. Some online games even work to this day through homebrew servers. #It was very powerful at the time it was released. #Lots of high-quality sports games and arcade ports. Speaking of arcade ports, the Dreamcast was based on the Naomi hardware, and thus many games for the Naomi had arcade-perfect ports to the Dreamcast. #It supports native VGA and can output a lot of its games up to 480p. #The memory card for the Dreamcast, the VMU, not only allowed gamers to save data but also offered gameplay features and even acted as a handheld gaming device itself. During gameplay, it shows mini-images relevant to the game. Some games even use this feature for actual gameplay purposes. This idea would be used further for the [[Wii U]]. #It also works as a CD player and an online browser, though browsing no longer works without a modern adapter like DreamPi. #More than 700 games for the system, an impressive feat considering it was on the market for less than 3 years. #There was even a cable that made it compatible with the equally underrated [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]]. #The console supported order-independent transparency, which annihilated transparency issues. #It is very durable as seen in WIRED's ''Console Wars'', where it survived a 15ft drop and being drenched in a whole bottle of Mountain Dew. #there was even the Jump Pack which allowed the controller to rumble, like the Nintendo 64's Rumble Pak. #It even has its game disc format "GD-ROM", which has 1GB of storage which is more compared to the PS1 and Saturn's CD's 700MB of storage.
