Which Dreamcast games are must haves?
MisterCreazil:
well you might have to wait a month for me to get a couple more paychecks :P but yeah I'm definitely thinking I'm going to get one.

Edit: Also, here are all the DC games that hold up even today... which includes a lot of the games already mentioned, but a few other titles that seemed to escape people's minds.

if you have a ps3 or 360 you might want to wait on buying marvel vs capcom 2 on the DC since its being released as downloadable content with online fighting this summer

KaiserWAVE:
The online fighting aspect will become very stale for most people once they run into a decent Cable/Magneto/Storm team ;) I own the DC version and the Xbox version and the XBLA version is a definite day one purchase. But I'll stay the hell away from ranked matches. I'm tired of quitters or condescending winners.
But back on topic, yeah, MvsC2 is da definitie must. It's deep enough for a skilled player but it's very easy to pick up and get into for a button masher kind of player. Kinda like a 2D Tekken :D
Oh, and that racketboy list of must haves...Bangai-O? Really? I'd rather go with GigaWing, Mars Matrix and Karous.
3 games I'd put among the best are MDK2 and Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver is just a cleaned and spruced up port of the PS1 game, but it's an outstanding game nonetheless. Also Daytona USA 2001 is a definite must for arcade racer fans!

Well, racketboy does have an entire article already dedicated to DC shooters (also has articles dedicated to Saturn and PSX shooters as well).
Yeah, I'm kinda ambivalent about MvC2 re-release. It would be nice to play with friends - but friends aren't always available. Even Arcana Heart made a "Plus Mode" for it, which basically rebalanced the game for fair play, but I somehow doubt Capcom will make such an effort to simply change a few numbers here and there - they know people will buy it anyway.
Also, don't think you can escape Magneto, Storm, Sentinel just by avoiding ranked matches. After playing SC4, I found out very quickly that I couldn't avoid Cervantes by just avoiding ranked matches. Everybody plays to win, regardless of stat-tracking - they could care less about fun.
