Not the first time SEGA did this. The Saturn had the ST-V Titan arcade board that gave us games like Die Hard Arcade and Astral Superstars. It’s thanks to the Naomi that we got many of the system’s later life games though. Most of the titles the Dreamcast got officially from the years of 2002 through to 2007 (yes, DC games got released that far out from its discontinuation) are all Naomi arcade titles, since the arcade never dissolved in Japan but the push for the strongest arcade hardware fell to the wayside with the mass decline of arcades in the early 2000’s across the western world. So, Naomi was a cheap, capable, and common board used at the time, and if you wanted the best version of those games at home, you’d be finding them on the Dreamcast. As an extra fun fact, later life Dreamcast games even came in DVD cases, meaning there’s a number of official titles that have totally different dimensions than the rest of your collection. Naomi was responsible for the final official SEGA-made title for any of their consoles: [ATTACH type="full" size="500x445"]70597[/ATTACH] And the infamous final game for the Dreamcast period, which was fittingly a vertical scrolling shooter/bullet hell. Quite the perfect end to a console that was well known for them: [ATTACH type="full" size="225x225"]70599[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
