Who do you think received the best Sega line-up after they discontinued the Dreamcast?

[Leeroy ST]

When Sega lost over half a billion dollars and failed to meet their console sales goals, they decided it was time to finally drop the Dreamcast from the market. This was already something they were planing despite denying it around a month or so earlier before the announcement. While it was a sad time, Sega had already talked with all 3 competing console manufacturers to bring Sega software to their platforms. Each of the big 3 gaming consoles received a unique exclusive (for the time) Sega line up with titles the other systems did not receive due to these deals. Also a handful of cross-platform games.

 

So who do you think received the best Sega software (Published or Developed) out of the bunch? I will list them below. Note, there are a few games released across multiple platforms such as Sonic Riders etc.

Sega published and developed a lot of great games during this time, I wouldn't be surprised if this was their biggest software output ever. Let me know if I am missing any games.

 

 

Man this is tougher than I thought, I'll have to think about this one, there's a lot of classics listed here on all 3 lists though. Which do you think go the best support? Vote in the poll above and comment below!
