Sega got brought out by Nintendo YEARS ago to prevent them from shutting down entirely when the DC failed to beat off the PS1/PS2 and Xbox. Hence Sonic crops up in nearly every Mario game out there these days, though with the olympic tie in titles one has to question the fairness of a naked supersonic blue hedgehog with special running shoes to make him go faster compared to a fat mustached italien plumber in dungarees and workman steel toe capped boots...Originally Posted by Shiny
Anyhow this is essentially a Megadrive made to look like, stand like and even have the remote from a wii. It's a cheap ploy at getting casual gamers who have fond memories of the megadrive to buy in to more Nintendo marketing. It's definitely not anything new or even something of a come back for Sega.
Oh and speaking of the Megadrive, you guys realize, the megadrive has been on sale all these years it never went off sale? In fact now it comes pre-loaded with those exact games and has the cartridge slot for cartridge games, not that they make these anymore. I can also tell you the megadrive sells for around £30 these days the only difference is, the one currently on sale, looks like an old school sega megadrive and has the pad of one too, it is not attempting to become a nintendo wii.
Hell I remember the days when Sega would release the ugliest thing ever just so it wouldn't look like a damn nintendo, game gear anyone?
