Official "What Game(s) Should I Get?" Topic

I just bought a Sega Dreamcast today with Mortal Kombat Gold, anyone have any game suggestions besides the obvious one Sonic

 

I can suggest Forest Legends, Coaster Rider and Displaced. Very cool games, I can play them for hours. Besides you can select/download them on PC for free. That's so convy!

 

Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The King of Fighters franchise(Have many games on Dreamcast) and Soul Calibur are a must if you like fighting games. I'd also recommend Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone.

 

Do you like open worlds? Because Shenmue and its sequel come to mind.

 

Actually yes in fact I am trying to get my hands on them, sadly the only version of the sequel I found was on the Xbox so I am probably just gonna get the sequel on the Xbox, still trying to get the first one on the Dreamcast however

 

The Dreamcast is a wonderful console that can do a bunch of unique things.

It has a handful of quirky, original action/adventure games such as Shenmue I and II, Illbleed, D2, Space Channel 5 (Parts 1 and 2), and Jet Grind Radio.

It has a ton of ports of arcade fighting games, shooting games, and racing games, such as Marvel vs Capcom 2, Bangai-O, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Hydro Thunder, SoulCalibur, Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram, Capcom vs SNK Pro and 2, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Dynamite Cop, Ikaruga, Metropolis Street Racer, Psyvariar 2, Power Stone 1 and 2, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Project Justice, Zero Gunner 2... and more. I'd say this is the Dreamcast's main strength. However, I recommend finding a compatible arcade pad, as the default controller is bad for arcade games.

It has the best versions of Resident Evil 2, 3, and Dino Crisis, if survival horror is your thing. Plus, Code: Veronica and Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.

It has an excellent home version of The House of the Dead 2, for which I suggest getting a compatible Guncon, for the whole arcade experience.

It has a pair of fantastic JRPGs in Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia.

It has some extremely stylish, hard-to-categorize games like Cool Cool Toon, Cosmic Smash, Seaman, and Rez.

It has some beautifully colorful and pleasant-looking games such as Ecco: Defender of the Future and Elemental Gimmick Gear.

It has an extremely addictive action-RPG with online muti-player in Phantasy Star Online, which can still be played online on the Dreamcast with some fiddling. If you really get into it, I recommend seeking out the Dreamcast keyboard, which will also allow you to play the hilarious The Typing of the Dead.

Finally if you're looking for fun and simple multi-player games, Ooga Booga, Puyo Puyo Fever, Re-Volt, and Samba de Amigo should be up your alley.

 

Looking for games to get on the 3DS, really anything, as long as its not too pricey.

 

I would recommend the underrated gem, Ever Oasis. It combines the elements of a real-time adventure RPG with maintaining a town.

I feel like this games gets overlooked. I would do some minimal research and see if it's right for you.
