In today’s video, we look at the Sega Hikaru – the Sega System that was even more powerful than the Sega Dreamcast – despite this arcade board existing in tandem with the Dreamcast and the Sega Naomi.

8:15 now I know where fong got his name in the animated series Reboot that aired on Toonami.
I remember when Sega Europe invited my friend and I to come sample Planet Harriers at a SEGA arcade test centre they had a the time. I worked for a special Sega website during that period so I had special access and seen things that many people haven't. I was losing the plot when I played Planet Harriers (free play, of course) for I thought the game was awesome, and I told Sega that the game must get ported for their console no matter what. Such a shame that wish, like many others, never materialised. Also played Brave Firefighters and Air Trix back then before it came out in the public arcade, I was really impressed with those games too.
So is the Xbox 360 PS3 PS4 PS5 Xbox one Xbox series X their all more powerful then the Dreamcast the console your talking about was never released nobody ever heard of it and Japan is a big Sega fan then everyone they even had a Sega Store in Japan the Sega died in every region except for Japan
You are so beautiful
Why does Japan only get these exquisite consoles?
arcade machine is unidentical to a home console. we already knowthis
But uhmmm… this doesn't look better than the Dreamcast🤔pretty much the same Level(if this fame footage was real)
I’m sure this games were high end for it’s time but these games could have been ported to the Xbox hardware which could handle the graphics fidelity. It’s just my opinion 👍
Given the Dreamcast was no slouch in lighting and particle effects for the time; play MDK2 on it if you don't believe me… Would love to see if the Hikaru had a demo to show off it's hardware T&L.
I never played Sega dream cast games
amazing library of games.. hmm I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw
i was lucky enough to finally play star wars podracer in a bowling hall in denmark back in 2019. it was amazing to finally play the deluxe arcade cabinet. in 2022 i wanted to revisit that bowling hall, but sadly it burned down in 2020 😢
I've been fortunate to be able to play a few of these. Nascar, virtual on, Star Wars Pod racer, top skater; all of these games hold up quite well even today. Top skater, in particular, had a bar that surrounded the skateboard area for convenient grabbing and holding onto the same way one would grip the rear bar on a DDR machine. Good stuff, looking forward to the Chihiro content and the split from Microsoft that produced the Lindbergh
Don’t forget the harrier games inside of other games such as shenmue
mmmmmmmmm minx
What about a video on the Atomiswave
I ran a location that had Brave Firefighters. I can't tell you how many times I had to get creative to replace the hoses when they broke.
atomiswave?
And an excuse for me to remind my wife that our wedding was on 09/09/09.
I am not kidding. We were shotgunned by the judge. It was crazy.
Hikaru is the real Dreamcast pro! But there wasnt any reason for this system to actually exist. Most of its games could have been released on regular Naomi with downgrades, but with skilled devs, could have looked great anyway. Brave Firefighters should have been released as a launch Naomi 2 game…Probabluy itr would have been even more impressive and successful there.And also, at least Star Wars and Planet Harriers should have been ported to DC… I mean, the gap between Model 2 and saturn was way wider than the gap between DC and Hikaru, and for example, AM2 made a remarcable job porting VF 2 to Saturn…So more chances to have more than great Hikaru ports of this games to DC, despite the downgrades. Sega always with their weird decisions.
Even after the video its hard to see why some of this couldn't be done on dreamcast in some form. Im not saying it could, its just hard without any comparisons or measuring sticks
Detailed as always.
I love the Dreamcast so much 💙🧡🤍9/9/99 🫶
Great Stuff, as always.
I only got to play Planet Harriers twice. So glad I was able to experience that game.
Another Great video!

The problem with Hikaru hardware is it was very fragile, broke easily especially if being shipped and it was expensive. It’s super difficult to fix too. I have a planet harriers arcade cabinet and my Hikaru motherboard died 🙁 was really fortunate to find a replacement but for a while I thought I’d have a dead planet harriers cabinet 😢
Can you…… emulate Hikaru???
You looks like Jyggsaw
NAomi unit is 2x a dream cast in cpu cores dual / gpu cores 5+1 so 6 – then you can serial stack the naomi unit like SLI / crossfire but they work instead of just take your money
