Game news He shoots his opponent in the face with Dreamcast punches
With its white curves and exceptional toy library, the Dreamcast is a console that shaped gamers and the video game industry. To impose its machine, SEGA has done everything, integrating remarkable technology, an Internet connection and a memory card equipped with a screen and capable of interacting with the games. At the same time, the manufacturer has given its creators free rein, resulting in experiences that are as surprising as they are incredible! Despite their best efforts, SEGA could not resist Sony’s commercial strength and had to withdraw from the hardware market. And if we’re talking about it today, it’s because the beauty made an awkward entrance, to say the least…
In choosing the slogan “SEGA, it’s stronger than you,” Lintas agency creatives – Philippe Folliard and Éric Niesseron – were certainly unaware of its impact on pop culture. It was then that the duo came up with the idea of a crook to stick to the ‘disrespectful’ nature of the Virgin philosophy (in France, Virgin distributed SEGA before the manufacturer took over the reins of its own distribution in 1991). This thug a la Renaud (the 1980s singer) was later transformed into a punk for the needs of famous commercials, and that notion has passed through the generations.
That memory of SEGA varies wildly from country to country, but if the Japanese company has managed to convey anything, it’s their love of technology and beautiful machines. Despite sometimes disastrous decisions, all SEGA consoles have one little thing that does not leave you indifferent. And given its importance in the manufacturer’s history, the Dreamcast is surely one of the most memorable.
SEGA really is stronger than you!
A certain Joe Hendry has ensured that it continues to fuel pop culture. Without warning, netizens saw a video of this wrestler facing an opponent during IMPACT No Surrender 2023. But where the fight becomes fun and memorable is that same Joe Hendry… released a Dreamcast before delivering a console punch to his opponent! No doubt, SEGA really is stronger than you!
History doesn’t say if the opponent Moose will retaliate, but here’s a fight SEGA and Dreamcast fans will remember!
