A Documentary on Dreamcast

Archipel shared a new 2-part documentary dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast, and you can’t miss it. The documentary features a number of legendary game creators behind some of the console’s most iconic titles.

In the first part, creators will tell you about how they encountered the Dreamcast, the context at the time, in addition to the story behind their titles:

“SEGA announced the discontinuation of the Dreamcast in January 2001, less than three years after its release. In the second part of this documentary, we asked the game creators about the reasons the console met this fate, in addition to the legacy that it leaves behind:”

The documentary was set up by Archipel, a channel that started with toco toco, a regular series introducing Japanese creators, artists and the places that inspire. The channel now offers more diverse, Japan-centric documentary content with new series or standalone videos, focusing on a wider range of people and aspects of Japanese culture.
