In what has been called "a brief moment of remarkable creativity", [5] in 2000, Sega restructured its arcade and console development teams into nine semi-autonomous studios headed by their top designers. [20] [58] [175] Studios included United Game Artists (UGA), Hitmaker, Smilebit, Overworks, WOW Entertainment, Amusement Vision, Sega Rosso, Wave Master, and Sonic Team, [176] while Sega AM2 had been taken over earlier in the year by CSK Research Institute [177] and became independent in 2001 as SEGA-AM2 Co., Ltd. [178] Sega's design studios were encouraged to experiment and benefited from a relatively lax approval process. [160] This resulted in games such as UGA's Rez, an attempt to simulate synaesthesia in the form of a rail shooter; [179] [180] [181] Wow's The Typing of the Dead, a version of The House of the Dead 2 remade into a touch typing trainer; [182] [183] [184] and Hitmaker's Segagaga, a Japan-exclusive role-playing game in which players are tasked with preventing Sega from going out of business. [185] Before the launch of the Dreamcast in Japan, Sega announced its NAOMI [222] arcade board, a cheaper alternative to the Sega Model 3. [223] NAOMI shares the same technology as the Dreamcast, with twice as much system, video, and audio memory and a 160 MB flash ROM board in place of a GD-ROM drive, allowing nearly identical home conversions of arcade games. [5] [32] Games were ported from NAOMI to the Dreamcast by several leading Japanese arcade companies, including Capcom and Namco. [5] The Dreamcast also used parts similar to those found in personal computers with Pentium II and III processors, allowing a handful of ports of PC games. [224] [225]

They should have kept it closer to the Saturn 3D one, or at least copied the second analog if going after the Sony design (that d-pad screams Sony rather than Sega). That being said, it's still better than some current ones, especially when it comes to the buttons. Sega's buttons always felt more precise and responsive. - Antonio Do Rego Barros Neto Szczepaniak, John (2014). The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers: Volume 1. SMG Szczepaniak. p.35.

An internal Sega team led by Hideki Sato began developing the Dreamcast in 1997. In contrast to the expensive hardware of the unsuccessful Saturn, the Dreamcast was designed to reduce costs with off-the-shelf components, including a Hitachi SH-4 CPU and an NEC PowerVR2 GPU. Sega used the GD-ROM media format to avoid the expenses of DVD-ROM technology. Developers were able to include a custom version of the Windows CE operating system on game discs to make porting PC games easy, and Sega's NAOMI arcade system board allowed nearly identical conversions of arcade games. The Dreamcast was the first console to include a built-in modular modem for internet access and online play.
