New Sega console hitting this summer

Comments

• I really like the look of this sega console and at around £50 my young nieces
  and nephews would probably enjoy playing those games mentioned from
  Sega. Posted by John Jordan, United Kingdom
• The idea that I would not be able to load additional softwares onto the unit seems a waste.
  Frankly, I refuse to support this system because it's obvious they're trying to get my money, only to release another 'console' with another twenty or so titles.
  
  Go to hell, Sega. Most of your titles are already on the Wii anyhow. Too little, too late. Posted by Dooley, Canada
• I don't understand the bulk of the article makes it sound like you can't use old Sega games. Then at the end you say "It is, however, able to take old cartridges and is priced at £39.95." which sounds like you can.
  
  Which is it? Posted by Justin, USA
• the £39.95 refers to a console already on the market and not the one in the pictures. Sorry if that confuses. We wanted to point out that this isn't the first device of its kind out there. Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
• What is the point of this? Sega wheel the same old titles out each year already. They're available in abundance on Wii, PS3 and 360, as both games (Genesis Collection etc) and downloads. The market does NOT need an entire new console to play them, no matter how shiny and sleek it appears. Posted by A Davies, United Kingdom
• @A Davies if you don't need this new console good for your, but the other people of the world maybe would wanted pay 50-60€ and not 300 to play this games.
  You haven't obligation to buy, but don't tell Sega if can or no sold their games and how to do.
  
  Thanks for information and sorry if I have some spelling. I started to learn english with internet and dictionary. Posted by Calculin, España
• @Dooley
  
  Could you please tell me, which videogames company will produce something for charity?
  Posted by silverf0x0, Italy
• @Calcuin Youre neglecting to mention that this is a retro package the demographic this will appeal to would be old hardcore crowd who will more than likely own many of the other systems that the sega collection is already on. PSP, PS2, Wii virtual console. Also it would probably be cheaper for them just to release those games as downloadable titles on PSN Xbox Live or maybe pushing it as a disc on the Wii which would sort of be unnecessary.

• You morons just talk because you already have a Ps3 or a Wii... Do you know how much a Ps3 cost in india or brazil, morons?
  And for your info, the sega genesis (megadrive) never ceased to be sold in Brazil. As a matter of fact, this model is sold for about $160 reais (like US$80)...
  
  A PS3 cost $1000 or even more. But no, you didnt know that because y'all are too lazy, you have your ass sit all day and you eat and eat like pigs...
  
  gimme a break, bunch of losers... no wonder why you decided a war against a country you dont even can point in a map. Posted by Frankie, Italy
• you can play old mega carts on it, they just can't add new titles to the harddrive.
  
  And it will be £39.99 in the uk. Posted by Dr Coon, Coonaville
• FORZA FRANKIE! Posted by Neville, UK
• arent all those games available on the virtual console?
  ppl are going to be pissed when they realized they paid about 200 dollars for a package they couldve paid 50 for.
  nintendo is banking off nickel and diming us.
  
  on the plus side, at least it has more good games than the ps3... Posted by jerry, Haiti

  (2010) Sega Zone = Sega Genesis(1989) * 50(games) (((((( Posted by Johnny Handsome, Germany
• i think its great.
  Posted by ivan , canada
• This is stupid=\ I will not buy it, and i not take it even if it was "for free". Posted by minum, The Void
• well i see what sega is doing here... they're releasing a cheaper way to get their games, the price of a ps3, wii, xbox 360, they cost alot, where this is only $40. the only thing i don't understand is, look at the controller there's 4 buttons... sega genesis only had 3 buttons or 6 never 4... just something i thought i'd bring up but it's an otherwise decent console from my point of view can't wait for it to come out in america.

• Don't buy this crap. It's a cheap rip-off.

  For their other product (The Zone 40) they stole art assets from other games.
  
  http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/08/09/zone-40-wireless-gaming-alternative-to-nintendo-wii/
  
  The Zone 40 also has Sonic etc on it.
  
  THIS IS NOT MADE BY SEGA. Posted by Mr Munro, Scotland
• Do some research before posting any old crap you read on some other site if you want to be taken seriously as a news site. Posted by Mr Munro, Scotland
• Of course it's a ripoff. In my time, I've wound up playing many ripoff games that were sold on a Microsoft collections CD several years back. For example, Bustout!, which was one of my favourites, is a complete rip of 'Breakout!'. They're not going to get sued if they aren't exact, though, so they can pretty much get away with it. It's just the way it happens. They won't be successful, but they'll still reach people.
  
  This may be garbage to some people, but a godsend to people who can't afford a Wii, Internet etc. It's economising to the max so that people can enjoy the experience of gaming, if they haven't already or haven't had the chance. Also the backwards compatibility feature of the cartridges should allow for people to nab cheap cartridges from car boot sales etc. and play them on a new, non-aged console. Posted by Jacks, UK
• It sound interesting ~ When will this Sega sell in Hong Kong???? Posted by Grace Wong, Hong Kong
• I think its a great Idea!! I just wish that you could put more games in later. Or maybe make new game cartriges. I would have no problem playing old school style games that support a motion controller. If done right they could grab hold of a nitch market. If it becomes available in the US I plan to buy it! Posted by Sir Gimpalot, USA
• hmm, new console hu? just a machine wich plays old games... games that i all ready have on my real megadrive, haha
  but hee, this keeps the megadrive memories alive! ;) Posted by mien0ruis, netherlands
• I hipe this is more of a prototype and that its final release version is like the wii but more powerfull and can play this generation of games only time can tell. Posted by Mitchell, Australia
• Will it be released in the US of summer 2010? I think its already in the UK. Like any other sega fan ill go out and buy it but will it be released in the US in summer of 2010? Posted by Mike, Romania
• Frankie needs a attitude adjustment. Posted by I hate flammers, moh, moh
• Do not buy this. This is nothing more than a glorified emulator. And I guarantee you, Sega has nothing to do with this thing. They do however have what's known as the Sega Genesis Firecore system. It, like this is basically an emulator with only 20 built in games, but this has a cartridge slot. It's compatible with all controllers for Genesis, the 32X attachment, and the Sega CD attachment. There's also a handheld version. Please. I beg of you, do not buy this, it's not worth it. It's a black Zone 40, a crappy Wii-like console that comes with rip offs of games like Golden Axe and Zuma, they're even called Golden Axe and Zuma, but they have almost 8-bit graphics. Posted by A very concerned person, and Lover of video games, I know my stuff., USA
• I don't get it. Well, maybe I do. No way they'd be able to include Nintendo games or whatever (maybe because that company's still in hardware). But they could include Turbografx-16 games perhaps. Who're they foolin'?
  
  Franky's post is just too funny. It's good to know that fact, but he must be convinced he's immortal, or that life's not so short. Such ironic ignorance. Posted by JonP, UK
• i really want to buy one, but man... sega don't wan't people have more games in the console than what they just give, i wonder why.....
  
  and that's the only thing make me think twice to buy it :( Posted by hasan, Indonesia
• Wait, by Emulates, do you mean it plays Wii Games? Posted by DarkSEGALord, UK
• ...This is a LICENCED Sega console... not a Sega DESIGNED console
  
  
  The title and lack of ^ that explanation is VERY misleading.
  
  
  
  
  In summery, don't blame SEGA for a console they have nothing to do with... this is third-party bullshit plain and simple. Posted by Ry Spears, Australia
• Silly Sega, to get the consumers attention today ( gore-loving kids) you need a game that will attract their attention. I feel like the console is cheap as hell! if its only friggin $50, but you will reel in lots of customers with that kind-off a price. a ps3 controller is as much as that! anyways, you should change your old mascot.
  PS3- Kratos (god of war)
  XBOX360- Master Cheif ( halo series)
  WII- Mario (sucks ass)

• to me its like the wireless controller [Pimped Mega Drive] I Always Wanted but could never Buy ... looks sweet
  
  better than wasting space on a
  Computer Hard Drive With emulators & Roms
  
  yeah it looks like a wii
  and the idea of a rom based
  home sega console
  
  
  sounds [bad [A 5 5] Posted by Alexander, Philippines Asia
• ok that looks like the ZONE40 Wii spin-off with a picture of sonic and a sega logo. If SEGA returns to the console market, i'd think that they would come in with something cutting-edge, like with their previous consoles.

• Game Vendors scramble to purchase 3DConsole.com
  ...............................................
  A record-breaking domain sale is expected to lift suppressed dot com prices as major game vendors scramble to purchase 3DConsole.com prior to the launch of the worlds first 3D console by Nintendo in June of this year.
  
  The auction is currently running at Sedo.com and industry experts are suggesting a 5 to 6 figure sale, which would be a very welcomed boost to this one time booming industry.

• Why Does Sega even bother coming out to emulate the Nintendo which it won't compete against. You had your time when you were head of the game but then you gave it up. Their Portable gaming soared miles ahead of GameBoy. I think it's too little too late just to offer a throwback for sentimental types Posted by John, USA
• Consoles are for geeks, leave them and buy some paper writing services to get an education. Posted by eugenegriffin, USA
• As an ancient SEGA consoles fanatic i still remember the fun we had playing sonic or alex kid, The greatness of seeing the "new" Mega Drive II or the first color console portable GAMEGEAR...
  But I was waiting for a supernew console that could be a way ahead xbox 360 or playstation 3... After all it's from SEGA tthat we are talking about somthing like "SEGA AMDOOVIDIA" a console that could be build by associantion of nvidia amd Google to rivalize sony and microsoft Posted by Sandro Rendim, Portugal/france
• ops it's me again.... have you heard something from a new announced SEGA RINGWIDE ??? Posted by Sandro Rendim, France/Portugal
