What the best the Dreamcast has to offer that can't be experienced better somewhere else?

The lack of games.

>>11841976 (OP)
Not much now that everything's been ported or can be emulated. Still has the best versions of some games like Sonic Adventure though. Playing with a VMU and watching the little images and characters on it adds to the experience too, so if you have an option to play on an actual Dreamcast it's nice. VMU minigames are neat too.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP VRRRT VRRRRRRRTTT VRVRVRVRVRRRRRRTT
i love how you could tell when an encounter was coming in some games because of the loud ass disc drive

So you're confirming that it's just a console people buy to make their bedroom more aesthetic.

The best version of Ikaruga

>>11842348
NTA but imo it is the best looking console ever made so yes, you're correct

It for sure has the best single-stick versions of Tony Hawk 1, 2 and Spider-Man by Treyarch. I found Soul Reaver to be a stand out title on there as well.

Beyond that it's my Crazy Taxi box. I also play The House of the Dead 2 and Confidential Mission on mine. It gives me more fun than my Gamecube is capable of.

I hear the DC version of Skies of Arcadia is better than the gamecube version but I've never played it.

Isnt the english version of shenmue II exclusive to Xbox?

>>11842907
It came out in Europe on DC, but the Xbox version has some extra graphical features and improvements.

Skies of Arcadia is not better on gamecube. The music sounds like ear rape. The encounter rate being lower on gamecube is a myth.

The variety of games it has such as Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Seaman and House Of The Dead 2.

>>11841976 (OP)
Virtua Fighter 3, yeah I liked it more than Soul Calibre but I have the yucky pal version that skips every 6th frame. Pretty much every other one in the series has a modern version. Its one of the most cool and unique games of the era.

Theres the fishing games, I don't care for them but I don't think newer systems have fishing controllers.

Sega Rally 2 it has major issues but its good and unique, good luck getting the PC version running.

>>11842869
I found House of the Dead 2 to be basically identical on wii, nowdays I can barely get the gun to work on DC since my tv isn't bright enough and I didn't feel like I was missing much with the pointers, I think I played it more on wii.
Yep some cool games I forgot about, runabout was like a slightly early GTA 3.

>>11842872
Metal Slug 5 hack too, its on ps2 but it could be an eewww emulator.

Egg, bangaiO, jet set radio, superior tomb raider and tonyhawk ports
