Apparently this device came out of a partnership with Sega, and RFID enabled watch maker Swatch. Why those 2 companies came together no one will know. Sadly, the partnership sunk before it truly began. The Swatch Access was never released. This may be due to the fact that no one who would by a Dreamcast would also own a Swatch!
Once you supposedly bought one at a place like a movie theater (the exact opposite of where I'd think to buy Sega products), you would shove it into the VMU slot at the top. After that is done, you could hop onto the late 90's internet, and connect your Swatch to websites! I imagine this would be useful to some people, but not the average Dreamcast user. The demographics don't match up, and I'm 99% sure this is why it failed...
For the second time in a row, I cant end it off with my opinion (and no, I'm not ending it with Kek again!). Its sad really, that this partnership was made, only for it to end up being tossed out with Kekcroc (it just cant keep away from me!)! I am a little happy though, because the world was spared from this monstrosity.
