What Happened to SEGA After the Dreamcast? (2001–2003)

After the Dreamcast was discontinued in 2001, SEGA found itself navigating a new identity as a third-party developer. And while it may have been jarring at the time to see SEGA's flagship series on hardware that wasn't their own, their relationships with Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony led to the continued release of excellent, inspired, and in some cases just very strange, games between 2001 and 2003. Darren Hupke hosts this episode, joined by Andrew Elmore (https://bsky.app/profile/elmore.zone) and Nick aka PandaMonium (https://bsky.app/profile/pandamonium.bsky.social), who bring their expertise on all things SEGA to this far-ranging discussion.
