Genesis Does What Nintendon't

>> No.4091335

Even in death....
I gain more and more respect for Sega as a company by the day.
Yeah they made some bonehead decisions in a business perspective, but they still seemed to care about the people actually playing shit.

NEW for $15 on Amazon. That's damn near the best $15 you can spend.
I mean, yes emulation is perfect now and free, but showing the big S some love for treating fans with decency with a $15 tip is cool.

I bought my copy long ago BTW. Rarely play it as emu via Wii on my Trinitron has a better picture, but at the price of $20(when I bought mine), I decided to throw Sega a bone. They earned it. A shame the Saturn is such a complicated shit. A Saturn collection would be godly.

It just seems a lot simpler to throw a collection together for whatever your modern system is. I know Nintendo fags are blinded by and will pay out the ass for nostalgia but this is just a lot of trouble for a rom set

The NES classic was made with a soc that's about as powerful as the Wii. Not only that, it has a sort of OS inside it on the internal storage. The Sega consoles are just shitty soc consoles that has just enough power to emulate Genesis hardware. The only storage on it is basically for a multicart room with some games on it. It's the nes clones you can get from AliExpress. The NES classic also has a micro USB port that allowed the hacking. The at games consoles do not. So it wouldn't be possible.

on Steam, they added a nice Unity Engine bedroom hud, looks like a sega fanboys bedroom with a CRT TV and furniture and shit
Even support romhacks through Steam Workshop

It's a nice thought, but the emulation isn't as good as KEGA Fusion which kind of defeats the purpose for me, and I don't believe you can replace the emulator within the unity engine

That Steam Unity thing is ok, before they added that, or if you turn 3D off, the menu is absolute garbage, unsorted list of games that has to be scrolled through one at a time iirc. Atari Vault on Steam is quite nice too, you're >paying for roms.

SEGA really tries with their old games, although they screw up more often than not. Nintendo knows they don't have to try and openly laugh at the zombies buying their lazy shit, but at least their stuff works correctly (usually).

Most of them do sound bad, and VA2/VA2.3 still sound worse than "good" Model 1s, and also require PSG sound fix mod to work correctly.

Also putting DC releases out on other 6th gen consoles (and even re-releasing that shit now on PC and new consoles).

Whereas Nintendo keeps their shit locked up for ridiculous prices only on the newer consoles. And even then, sends C&Ds to emulation sites while dragging their feet to get even basic shit like Pokemon Gold on their shitty VC.

Milking is milking and none of these things you said are a good reason for buy 16-bits games that even a calculator can emulate nowadays for the thousandth time.

Going out from the console business, licencing it's games to it's former rival and life off it's old, past glories while the it's rival continues going forward, taking risks, learning from it's mistakes and becoming stronger and stronger each year?

I guess Sega does that. But now seriously, the audio on all retro Sega consoles sounds like ass, so don't buy any of that and try to find the original consoles instead.
