Sega is Releasing a New Console

[Depression Moon]

New Sega console hitting this summer - Pocket-lint

[KentaRawr!]

For a second I thought it was actually going to be called Pocket-Lint.

This piques my interest.

I smurfing hate waggle, even though I can get pretty much any of these already, I might have considered it without waggle.

[Bolivar]

This is just the beginning....

What if next they put out some kind of proprietary, glorified home-arcade unit that they put out maybe 1 or 2 games out a quarter of classic franchises like phantasy star and streets of rage?

AND THEN THEY UNVEIL THE NEXT SEGA SYSTEM WITH MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 AS A LAUNCH TITLE MUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA

[Rostum]

What.

[Raistlin]

However, gamers hoping to be able to load in more games will be disappointed, although the makers say that they hope to offer more Sega titles in the future, you won't be able to add them to this system.

Wtf? This hardly qualifies as a "console." It just comes with a bunch of pre-loaded classic games that every person really interested has already been emulating (or playing on an old Sega system).

Sega stopped trying to be innovative years ago.

[Jowy]

dear god please just take sonic out back and shoot him

give us another Beyond Oasis or Jet Set Radio.

[Bunny]

Hang up the towel, you're done.

[Mo-Nercy]

This is a pretty lame effort. If Sega's looking to jumpstart their re-entrance into the world of designing consoles, they could've better. For one thing, the fact that the games you get, you're stuck with, means that even £50 is overpriced.

The handheld market is pretty dry at the moment. You don't see many good games for PSP these days, the Go was a big flop and DSi is as gimmicky as you'd come to expect from Nintendo these days. Maybe Sega could look to get back into the market with a Game Gear 2 or something.

Though I guess then there's question of where it's games would come from.

My thoughts exactly.

I clicked the link and my reaction was, as Jess said, "Like you're in the middle of sex and you find out you're doing a troglodyte."

Yeah I know. I don't why they bother creating a seperate system for something that that can put on a disc or two for the Wii.

Yeah I know. I don't why they bother creating a seperate system for something that that can put on a disc or two for the 360/PS3.

Fix'd

Fixed.

I don't know why they bother creating a separate system, so I'm looking forward to seeing what this system is able to do.

As much as I enjoy Sega, I will not be buying this. This reminds me of those crummy joystick Tiger games you find at Wal-Mart or Target.
