− | ===Conversions===
| |
− | Being active from late 1998 to mid-2001, the Dreamcast was largely unchallenged in its role as a "next generation" console during its lifespan. Its design was such that it often made more sense to port over games from the PC than older consoles such as the [[PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo 64]], and with many already optimised for [[PowerVR]] graphics cards, PC-to-Dreamcast conversions were often simpler than with generations prior.
| |
− | | |
− | Several third-party publishers were starting to pull out of Nintendo 64 development by 1999, so aside from the likes of ''[[Mortal Kombat Gold]]'' and ''[[San Francisco Rush 2049]]'', very few games were converted from [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] console. Likewise while many games were released concurrently on the PlayStation and Dreamcast, in most cases the Dreamcast conversion stemmed from PC code, meaning unlike the earlier [[Sega Saturn]], there was less of a direct relationship between rival consoles.
| |
− | | |
− | Sharing hardware with Sega's then-cutting edge [[NAOMI]] arcade hardware led to many accurate arcade ports, beginning with titles such as ''[[Power Stone]]'' and ''[[Crazy Taxi]]'' and still seeing conversions as late as 2007 with ''[[Karous]]'' and ''[[Trigger Heart Exelica]]''. Several older [[Model 3]] titles such were also brought to the Dreamcast in updated forms; notably ''[[Sega Bass Fishing]]'', ''[[Sega Rally 2]]'' and ''[[Virtua Fighter 3tb]]''.
