does the dreamcast have any good exclusive adventure/paltformer games on it that would make it worth getting? whenever i look at "the best dreamcast games" lists, its really only fighting or sports or racing games.

There aren't a lot of Dreamcast exclusives left anymore from any genre, let alone advanture/platforming. Honestly 99% of the library was either a multiplatform release or has been ported to newer consoles/the PC sometime in the last 25 years.

That said, it still has the prettiest (and usually best performing versions) of any 5th gen multiplat. If you want to play a prettier version of Soul Reaver or Jedi Power Battles (or whatever) and you for some reason need to do so on native hardware instead of just emulating and upscaling the PS1 versions than the DC is the way to go. The Dreamcast is an excellent system, but it's tough to justify the cost of a console, multiple VMUs, and an ODE to get nicer looking versions of games you can already play for free.

Check out Rayman 2 though, the various console versions had differences and the Dreamcast one is generally considered to be the best.

Super Magnetic Neo is pretty good but not a system seller.
If you like platformers and think platforming on wheels sounds fun then Jet Set Radio is 100% worth your time but its physics are zoomer repellent.

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Jet Set Radio
Super Magnetic Neo
Kao the Kangaroo
Napple Tale
Dolphin Blue (Atomiswave port)
Metal Slug 6 (Atomiswave port)

There's also a ton of homebrew 2D platformers on it like Intrepid Izzy, and arguably the best version of Rayman 2

Napple Tale w/ english translation patch, and the Sonic Adventure games are about it honestly. People will say stuff like Magnetic Neo and Donald Duck Going Quackers but they're pretty mediocre.

I'm a rabid saturnfag and I'm here to tell you that there is a lot of shit wrong with this list.

Every single PS1/Saturn box either has a bad game, is missing a good game, or lists a game that isn't actually available on the console. Whoever made this is a retard.

Be weary of Super Magnetic Neo, the controls are so incredibly bad and delayed that despite its charming appearance it’s a fucking chore to play and an exercise in frustration.

I LOVED Elemental Gimmick Gear. My mom bought it for me when I was little and my friends made fun of me, but it was fun as fuck. I very rarely see this one talked about. It had some absurd playground-rumor-tier shit like "fight and win against the kid in town 100 times in a row to negate the health loss from spinning". And that dude who told you the ridiculously long stories and you had to remember shit and answer questions. Great game
