I just want a console that has solid arcade ports (fighters, racing mostly), horror games and some light RPGs, maybe a decent platformer too.

Never owned a Dreamcast but is that the best choice for me?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:11:21 2016 No.3472118 ps1. dreamcast versions of Capcom games were better though. I don't know. you can't go wrong with a dreamcast though. it's just lacking in the rpg dept but does tick off your other boxes.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:12:52 2016 No.3472125 >>3472109 either that or genesis, depending what u are into. genesis got street fighter 2 dreamcast got soul calibur so pick ur poison

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:15:31 2016 No.3472135 >>3472125 SFII was on everything

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:16:27 2016 No.3472136 That's literally every Sega console. Check out the Master System and Saturn.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:21:32 2016 No.3472149 >>3472125 the genesis version of sf2 was WAY shittier than the snes version. the only thing genesis was better about was mortal kombat because of blood.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:23:50 2016 No.3472154 >>3472149 The World Warrior was better on SNES; but I thought The New Challengers was better on MD. Anyway, check out the Yuu Yuu Hakusho game for a good MD-exclusive fighting game.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 14:26:29 2016 No.3472163 >>3472154 b-b-but snes had street fighter alpha 2 :) i'll admit that street fighter 3, mvc2, third strike were best on dreamcast.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 15:43:53 2016 No.3472368 >>3472109 Yes

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 16:52:47 2016 No.3472514 >Recommending a 2D console to someone who put racing as their #2 genre OP should definitely get a DC as long as, like Anon said, he's okay with it being really light on RPGs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 3 16:54:53 2016 No.3472518 >>3472109 not a lot of rpg but txr2 is a goat /vr/ rassin game.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 5 20:30:00 2016 No.3477756 >>3477292 Don't use nullDC, use Demul, nullDC isn't updated anymore. Demul plays a lot of shit and also does Atomiswave, Hikaru, and Naomi arcade games.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 6 01:24:49 2016 No.3478209 >>3477292 My experience is that DC emulation still sucks donkey dick. At least Saturn has SSF and that promising FOSS one I can't remember the name of.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 6 11:20:09 2016 No.3478790 >>3478569 Dreamcast had pretty much arcade perfect ports. What are you talking about? It was essentially the Neo Geo of its era.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 7 09:08:29 2016 No.3480975 >>3472135 Some versions were better than others though.

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 8 05:14:24 2016 No.3482905 >>3477292 Buy a dreamcast they are dirt cheap. If you are too poor to buy the games just burn them.

Anonymous Thu Sep 8 06:24:16 2016 No.3482953

The best versions of fighters aside from the arcade is by far on the DC. There is no better port of Super Turbo. MvC2, Rival Schools, CvS2, 3S, and Vampire Savior all run great and very close to arcade on it. I can't speak to the quality of non-Capcom games on it though.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 9 03:36:53 2016 No.3484816 >>3472921 >no Sonic Shuffle

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 9 18:21:26 2016 No.3486083 Dreamcast is pretty much the exact same hardware as the NAOMI boards, which is why the arcade ports are flawless. You really can't go wrong with a Dreamcast, especially since you only need a blank CD-R and an .iso to get games for it.
