Wildly ahead of its time, deserved so much better. The memory stick being like a tamagotchi, that’s an amazing idea. I could never figure out how to make it work but raising the Chao from Sonic Adventure, so much unrealised potential.
There was a prototype VMU MP3 player in the works before the Dreamcast was discontinued, alongside a music store.
Sega also produced a digital camera for the Dreamcast, the DreamEye.
The tech world could have looked very different if the Dreamcast went differently for Sega.
oh shit it is 9.9.99+25

I should play Skies of Arcadia again.
Good lord i forgot about those controllers. They look so awkward. More ergonomic than steckdeck or a switch though.
They’re molded to the hands really well but the analogue stick is entirely plastic and digs into your thumb really easily!
This controller is probably the daddy of the original Xbox controller, and the GameCube controller (N64 is the mother there).
It was probably more comfortable than the Xbox one, and looked cooler than the GC one, but the GC controller wins in comfort.
