It's a normal Dreamcast with a flip-top LCD and modifies top panel. The control is actually a clone of the excellent Japanese pad for the Saturn, great for all types of games, actually nicer to play with than the standard DC pads, just no VMU ports. The modem port is just what it sounds like: a port which can be used to connect the DC modem or BBA. All of this info can be found in many places, like DCemu.co.uk, which has a review of the unit, Lik-Sang.com, which sells the unit and has many pictures. I guess if you aren't lazy, blind, or just plain brain-dead, you could have answered all your own questions in a minute or two of research.
Actualy, XBOX was acodename, but they stuck with it because so many people had latched onto it. This appeared in several articles around late 99-early 00.
The voice acting in the Resident Evil games is INTENTIONALLY cheesy to reflect the Italian zombie movies of the 70's and 80's that inspired the series.
I assume your definition of quality is Nintendo's, not that of thinking, intelligent life forms. Considering the unmitigated shit that companies like Acclaim and THQ cranked out WITH the seal, it was obvious that the seal only meant that the manufacturer paid Nintendo the license fees to go into production on the carts. Not to mention the excellent games from Namco and others that ended up coming out from Tengen, like Rolling Thunder. No seal, so it must suck, right?
Wow. More illiterate anti-console trolling. The sales slump referred to by the article was the console sales slump. Most people who play consoles are sick of this pissing and moaning from PC users with inferiority complexes. Keep upgrading your PC every year to make up for your infantile genitalia, but shut the fuck up about consoles killing the PC market. P.S. - Fuck the IT industry. Fuck them up their stupid asses!!!
I'll go with MIYAMOTO IS A FRIGGIN HACK! He has only come up with a handful of ideas, recycled endlessly with greatly diminishing results. He makes EA Sports look innovative!
Blitz is, and always has been a Midway game, but NBA Jam has been an Acclaim property since the home version of Tournament Edition. They bought ALL rights to the name from the NBA behind Midway's back. Midway did keep making NBA games, just under different titles every year. (Hangtime, Hoopz and Showtime) Good games, lousy marketing strategy.
I don't know about you, but my heart aches every time I play the Nights pinbal ub-level in Sonic Adventure. A DC Nights would have been a system-seller. The original is the only reason I regret losing my Saturn to the pawn shop. Sometimes a company Not wanting to risk repeating itself is a sad thing.
Please don't degrade the Dreamcast by comparing the GameCube to it. The DC had a much more innovative lineup overall, as it's manufacturer wasn't just crapping out rehashes of the same three games ad naseum. They were crushed by justified consumer doubt in SEGA's competence after the 32x, SEGA CD and Saturn fiascos, coupled with the advance info for the PS2 making the DC look underpowered.
Actually, the Resident Evil games are produced ONLY in english audio versions. The lousy voice acting is a bit of an homage to the Italian zombie movies that were the inspiration for the games. As for the other games, Capcom USA just does a shitty job of hiring Voice directors for their projects.
The whole "Status Indian" thing is racist. My wife would qualify, beacuse she is a quarter native. It would give her extended medical benefits, pay for a University education, and give other financial benefits. She refuses because it's created an entitlement mentality that is beyond disgusting. In Canada, if you're a (whatever the fuck they call themselves this week) the government gravy train never ends! You don't even have to obey the law! No hunting or fishing license, or you just want to go out of season? If you're native, go right ahead! The Liberals deliberately created an underclass that they can throw taxpayer money at. I'm far from the only Canadian who is sick of all this "Myth of the Noble Savage" bullshit that is constantly pushed on us. The Treaty system should be terminated, and NOBODY should have any kind of special status or privaleges, regardless of race, creed, culture, or political affiliation!
From reading this, I get the feeling that you are either not Canadian, or even worse, a Canadian who doesn't realize what Trudeau left out of our constitution on purpose. In Canada, there is NO recall for elected or appointed members of the government. The only recourse is the next election, which is determined differently in different provinces, and in the federal instance, is to be held at the Prime Minister's discretion (more like whim. Chretien called three elections in less than ten years, the last one less than two years after the last one, solely to capitalize on the Alliance party going through a leadership convention.). People wonder how the federal Liberals have become so corrupt, when it is only because they have exactly the constitution they want. I hope that Stephen Harper gets elected, then decides not to call the next election until the whole system is re-worked into a true democracy, but Ontario and Quebec, the asshole of the Earth, are just not worth having in the country. Alberta needs to seperate regardless of the outcome of this year's election (when and if Martin calls it.). Canada doesn't need constitutional tinkering, it needs a real constitution!
If you had read the article, you would know that it is not a bugfix, but a patch to help eliminate cheating on the online play servers. How many PC games require 100s of MB in patches just to function properly, yet you still have assholes using trainers and other cheats to ruin your fun? Maybe before you post the next time, you'll try to learn enough about the topic at hand not to sound like an elitist wanker when you chime in with your contribution. Finally, if you are so opposed to consoles, don't annoy those of us who aren't chauvinistic trolls with your half-assed preaching. By the way, I am online with my PC, a P1-200 MHz, which I don't play games on, because even getting the games that my hardware can support to run properly is a load of bullshit I'd rather not go through when I can just pop a disc into my Playstation or Dreamcast and be playing in a few seconds.
No, they can be like us, BENT OVER AND FUCKED IN THE ASS by the government on an hourly basis! At least they don't have to pay the "Copyright Levy" on their blank media! Nothing like being branded a criminal and fined just for buying blank CD-Rs to back up my documents or store family photos! All in the name of supporting the Canadian music, film and television industries, who wouldn't need the support if they produced anything I was remotely interested in.
Poor Americans, they have a constitution that forces things like the right to free speech on people, and forces judges to interpret the law, not re-write it as they see fit! And it would be so terrible if our constitution defined the timing of elections, rather than just saying that they are to be held at the Prime Minister's discretion and leisure!
The fact that you state that we allow people to copy CDs implies that you have probably been too loyal a supporter of the British Columbian independant farming community.

Hell, here in Canada, the fry cook, and 80% of the rest of the staff at McD's probably came over from Bangalore for the job!

The Super Mario games are blatantly Gay! Just look at the mustaches, not to mention the very Penile-looking mushrooms!
Why not? Hebrew games would probably be at least as unintentionally humorous as stuff like 'Spiritual Warfare'. They might even be funnier.
Um,it's actually spelled retarDed. Sort of shot yourself in the foot there.

Hey, dumbass, Nintendo approved the Gamecube Version of Enter the Matrix.
