The NAOMI/DC release The House of the Dead 2 (1998) by Sega AM1 was the springboard for various spinoffs developed by Smilebit (Typing), Eighting (Pinball) and Now Production (English). The other HOTD2 spinoffs including DS English never left Japan, however...
The House of the Dead 2 came to DC 27 years ago! (9/9/99)

Featuring expertly crafted stages with perfect pacing, and non-stop shooting action, HOTD2 is a NAOMI Rail-Shooter themed around zombies and other gross, sticky monsters! It's considered by many to be among the the genre's greatest!

It's #RandomGameSaturday! The real-time strategy Hundred Swords (developed by Smilebit) was initially released only in Japan for Dreamcast. However, there is also a PC version that was released worldwide a little later. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play it yet.

Jet Set Radio didn’t just look different in 2000, it changed how 3D games could look. See how Smilebit used cel-shaded graphics to give Sega’s Dreamcast classic its unmistakable style. #JetSetRadio #Dreamcast
Jet Set Radio on Dreamcast: the game that changed cel-shaded graphics
When Jet Set Radio landed on the Dreamcast in 2000, it didn't look like much else on store shelves. The characters had thick outlines. Colours looked flat a

Derby Tsuku 2 (2001), the second entry co-developed by Smilebit (Jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Panzer Dragoon Orta) and Land Ho! (Pen Pen TriIcelon, PS2 Sega Ages 2500 Panzer Dragoon). Despite the former sharing the cover and splash bootup, Sega is still credited on the copyright notice.
Derby Tsuku 2 came out 25 years ago (8/9/01)

This is a Breeding-Sim (no, not like that) where you raise horses for competition, and watch them race in real-time

Either space/aerial flight simulators like Elite, or Rogue Squadron and Ace Combat clones, in the Panzer Dragoon and Star Fox franchises, if done well, would be divine. Bellissimo. #StarWarsRogueSquadron #AceCombat #PanzerDragoon #StarFox #Factor5 #TeamAndromeda #Smilebit #Nintendo

Part of Sega's long-running Let's Make series, Derby Tsuku: Derby Ba o Tsukurou! (2000) was co-developed by the remaining Team Andromeda staff at what became Smilebit (Jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Panzer Dragoon Orta) and Land Ho! (Pen Pen TriIcelon, PS2 Sega Ages 2500 Panzer Dragoon).

Also, Sega‘s transition into third-party saw its semi-autonomous studios continue their creative output for a little longer until the Sammy merger in 2004. Amusement Vision, Smilebit, OverWorks, Sega Rosso, UGA; some staff remained while others departed (Tetsuya Mizuguchi), but the names vanished.
A lot of folks like to think of the original Xbox as like the successor to the Dreamcast, but you know, they put Virtua Fighter 4 on the PS2. And Super Monkey Ball on the GameCube, which is the most Dreamcast-ass Dreamcast game on the GameCube.

Panzer Dragoon Orta (replay) ✅

Orta is the culmination of this rail-shooter series, and remains a quintessential game in the genre.

Smilebit delivered a very well-rounded experience in every aspect: gameplay, art direction, music, story & replay value all brilliantly come together. A must-play!

The DC Street Action Game by Jet Set Radio (2000) from the team later known as Smilebit; Sega is still credited in all original DC releases, however. The JP original was said to be rough around the edges, which prompted Smilebit to develop the updated releases including De La Jet Set Radio.
26 years ago (6/29/00) Jet Set Radio came out in Japan

Known as Jet Grind Radio in the US, this is a Score-Attack Skating-Game / Platformer hybrid, where to goal is to reach Graffiti spots and tag them! You could import custom graffiti via VMU, making this one of the defining Sega Dreamcast games!

The original Xbox had Shenmue 2! Jet Set Radio Future! New Smilebit games like Gun Valkyrie! Panzer Dragoon Orta! It had Dead or Alive 3! From Software's Otogi! It definitely carried on the mantle of the Dreamcast, right down to the controller design.
And it really did feel like it was at least a partial successor to the Dreamcast, in that it had a bunch of SEGA sequels and continued the online console innovation I'd adored in Phantasy Star. I beta tested for Xbox Live and have lots of fond memories of playing MotoGP, MechAssault & ReVolt online.

What a choice answer from Smilebit veteran and current RGG Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama (Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, Ollie King)… 🤷‍♀️
in addition to getting hands on with Stranger Than Heaven, i interviewed RGG studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama, and of course i asked about Tupac

also asked about its historical context, ties to the Yakuza series, and exploration of being mixed race.
