SEGA SAMMY CONSUMER HARDWARE ROADMAP - New SEGA Console Coming in 2010?

[Sonicwolf]

The Golden Age of Sega is long dead. I think after 8 years it is time to move on.

Ok everyone, here's your new Sega system. Infact, there's two!

RINGEDGE


RINGWIDE


And here's an English translation of the Sega page with their technical details.

As I theorised in my previous post, these systems are very similar to the Ex-Board. We have DVI output, USB 2.0 for joysticks and you'll need a PSU. Very simple to plug into your LCD TV if you have the disposable income available. Border Break certainly looks fun.

1: New Console
2: ???
3: Profit!

How about they just translate Yakuza 3 and we'll call it a day.

The Sony fanbase is not what it was in 1999, 2000, or 2001. Their main rival now could be Nintendo. It could be 1992 all over again.

Wow... World Game War III.

[Sonicwolf]

Wow... World Game War III.

I believe the Sony and Sega fanbases have degraded considerably since the mid 90s. Another game war would most likely just be Microsoft and Nintendo.

If that's the case, you're going down once and for all, Micro$haft!

Unless Nintendo starts chugging out extremely good titles, kill apps if you will, that appeal to both the audience of gamers who like motion interactivity and the audience of gamers who prefer controller based games, I dont see Nintendo taking out Microsoft...

I'd love to see anyone take out Microsoft. Do you guys realize for nearly 8 years it's been JUST Sony, MS, and Nintendo (let's not count V-Smile and un-serious systems that count for less than 1%)? We need a change, someone has to go. I always thought Apple would try out the hardware market, but guess not.

I agree. Its been almost 8 years of pure boring stagnancy. Its always interesting to have a market shakeup or something involved a new system from a different company.

Ⅰ'm so sick of Sega fanboys trying to defend the idea of them making a system a 'good' thing.

Mind you, I am NOT a Sony fan, but Sega and their 3rd parties involved DO NOT SUPPORT the systems.

You buy a 32X, Saturn, Sega CD, heck, even Dreamcast, there were never a lot of games and just a lot of broken promises. I'm not saying the DC was a bad system, but I see Microsoft and Sony and Nintendo haters all over the place but at least you get your money's worth on games and they support the systems into the ground, even if they lose money.


I like Sega's games, but you have to be a fool to defend them if you really look back at what they have done in history for consumers....

I am a massive Sega fanboy and you can read what I put, as I have serious doubts that it would ever happen.

[Enigmus]

I'm considering the Ninten-soft War to be like the Cold War: Just 2 sides threatening each other with nuclear arms, or, in this case, games and crazy new accsessories.

I just thought i'd mention this for those who don't already know SEGA IS releasing a new console, it's called the zone SEGA(or SEGA zone not quite sure) for 2010, one theory i thought up is, they're getting back into the console buisiness using this as a way of... warming up for it as well as checking out the demand of classic sega games. it may also interest you to know sega also has releases a handheld, a predecessor(i think that's the right word) to the nomad called the retro gen, it plays genesis games but with a rechargable battery pack, can be hooked into the T.V. and looks like a 6-button gameboy advanced. I wasn't sure it'd be of any relevence to bring that up but perhaps it's helping them warm up for hand-helds as well? just theory as i have explained.

EDIT: sorry forgot to mention the Zone Sega/Sega Zone is one of those classic re-release consoles not a full console but there are apparently 30 new games, or something like that

[Zoltor]

I really don't see this happening(atleast this year), I mean come on, games like Sonic 4 would be prime games to put on a new sega system, but yey It's going Wii,PS3,360 instead. If they were gonna come out with a system in 2010, they would've purposely pushed back the release of such an iconic title(It's even 2D, just like the original series) just so it could be released on their new system(and "only" on their system), and as such, if they are planning to make a new system, it won't be out until 2011.

[zack1123]

i see what your getting at but i'm not talking about a new system to compete with like xbox 360 and such but more of an emulation of old games here's the link to the site where i got the information

Oh ok.

PS. It won't even open a front page to the site(all that comes up, is a white page saying forbidden, bla, bla, bla).

[zack1123]

oh, sorry then here's another link,

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/3117...hitting-summer

if that doesn't work just copy and paste it in manually, it should work if you
copy it.

EDIT:forgot to mention, I agree with you, Sega won't release the new Competitor console this year, but I do think they're only chance of getting back in the console business is if it's released before 2014(expected release-date of ps4)

That one worked.

Yea thought it was something totally different. However I must say, if it Isn't gonna have every sega game(or atleast most), It's pretty pointless.

[zack1123]

it may or may not have the ability to play old genesis games they didn't explain it well my only real idea of this is the last sentence

It is, however, able to take old cartridges and is priced at £39.95

so... could be more of a genesis model 5 just to help them get back into the business and make spare cash to afford it, like how nintendo had like 5 versions of the nintendo DS, it was to make money while they worked on the next console.

hm ok.

You do know that these SEGA ZONE "consoles" are not a real SEGA product right? These are crappy clones that are just officially LICENSED from SEGA. These are kind of like the hyperkin/ @tgames genesis releases from the past couple of years.
