>SEGA wants to do more Mini consoles

...How? They said Saturn is off the table, and I can't see SegaCD, 32X, or Master System Minis being viable

>>6059263
They mean another mini genesis with only a 15% change in the game library that you have to pay another 50 dollars for

Either this or a game gear/nomad redo

Because buying the hardware which can run a Saturn emulator they copy from the internet will cost more than $0.01.

Just make them full size. Only cucks want a cuck size console.

They should produce a new HDMI-outputting Genesis that can play original carts. Keep it the same shape as the Gen Model 1.

I'm not into mini consoles but if I were in a room with a Sega CD mini I'd probably play with it for a bit, especially if it had the usual /vr/ favorites for it

shit, is this confirmed? one of the few consoles for which a mini version would actually make sense

None of the emulators are good enough and can run on shit hardware to make a mini.

Never say never.

>and I can't see SegaCD,
You seriously mean to tell me these dumb effers didn't think of putting CD-ROM images onto much-larger modern cartridges? MicroSD can hold a terabyte now, hundering facepalm.

>Master System Minis being viable
Master System was no NES, but it had a lot of cool shit.

>32x
See: SegaCD

If this company had competent people in charge, Genesis Mini would run everything from Master System 1 cards to Dreamcast. You could fit a shitload of Dreamcast games onto a Nintendo Switch cartridge and online multiplayer (was already on TV commercials in the 16-bit days, even in the west) is no longer an overwhelming challenge to put together. Dialup in the early 90s cost more than 3mB/s costs today, even if you ignore inflation.

Sega would come the fuck back if they did that. A freaking Raspberry Pi could probably run Dreamcast games, just use a better competitor and you're good to go.

Sega was the MC Hammer of console makers. Only famous for one thing, for a very brief time, and hemorrhaged money until they went bankrupt.

The Sega Genesis is my favorite console of all time, and I agree.
Sony basically did what sega did with the genesis and did it better (marketing, being geared towards older players than the nintendo babies/manchildren).

They said the chips needed to run emulation effectively wouldn't be cost effective for anither ten years or so.

It's possible. A Sega Saturn mini could prove successful, so can the Sega Dreamcast mini. Master System Mini would be cool to see, but I highly doubt they have enough interesting games to make people wanna buy it.
