Sega Retro Console to launch in October

[Metalface Mark]

Read about this in the paper this morning, it looks pretty good.

http://www.segaretro.net/megadrive-genesis-handheld.html

Comes with 20 games Alex Kidd - Enchanted Castle, Alien Storm Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Crackdown, Decap Attack, Dr Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Ecco Junior, Flicky, Gain Ground, Jewel Master, Kid Chameleon, Sonic Spinball and Shadow Dancer. Sonic and Knuckles, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Ecco the Dolphin, Columns for £29.99.

Could have done with a few of the better games it has to be said, but looks pretty nice.

If only it has Wonderboy

Not bad, but it's not the world's first portable mega drive, that was the sega nomad back in the day. Portable is used in the loosest sense of the word, though.

Playing Mean Bean Machine in single player =

While this is a great idea, i would rather put the money towards a PSP which as you all know (with a little bit of fairy dust ) will do the same job and more.

Yes but most people wouldnt know that, only internet geeks like us would.

Hence why it's a great idea; i can see my sister forking out for one of these in an instant. She still has my old Megadrive in her flat somewhere. She's far from a geek so i imagine many others like her would do the same.

Awesome.. I am gonna buy one.. for £30 for old school fun is quality...

I remember seeing this advertised on Asian websites a few months back at about the same price. It’s a shame you can’t download games for it instead of being stuck to built-in games. Plus as everyone says about system "WHAT!!!! NO STREETS OF RAGE?!?!?!?!"

 

[Chong Warrior]

To release something like that without at least one from each of the:

Jungle, Desert Strike Series,
Road Rash series,
Wonderboy series,

Is just criminal imho...

 

[Snakedoctor]

Stocking filler, I think this would lose apeal very quickly.

No Toe Jam & Earl?

 

[james.miller]

is it already out yet? im confused lol

At last! BLAZE are proud to announce they will be releasing their 16bit Megadrive handheld console in July 2008

edit: oh it is. cool.

 

[DaveOwl]

I'd rather play them on the real thing any day and so I do... well the MD and the Nomad - who needs blocky LCD TV's?

 

[Robert1986]

edit: oh it is. cool.

Its been out since 2007.

 

[Slogan]

It looks pretty god awful.

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

i would pay £30 for portable toe jam and earl or road rash 2 tbh but not those games. Still good to see things like this coming out. Heres what i dont understand, why dont they just rerelease the consoles with usb instead of carts and then have an itunes style rom pay-per-download system with all the classics. I mean it wouldnt be hard to do and could cash in on the rose-tinteditus that serves XBLA so well
