New Genesis Consoles ETA: Summer 2009

[Sonicwolf]

You're correct about the hardware not being in the final stages.

The screen is by far the most expensive part of the system and we have to chose the right one if we want to be competitive.

Im still going to buy it even if the screen is small. I have been trying to get a Nomad for bloody ages and I have not been able to find a really cheap one. Plus, its a Nomad. Bye-Bye batteries and portability, hello screen blur.

I hope it ends up great.

If it ends up being competitive (for example, great compatibility), then I will get one. Just gotta wait for the reviews.

Whenever this does come out, I'll probably buy one. I've been wanting a Nomad for ages, though the very high price tag combined with poor battery life is what has kept me from getting it.

Exactly the way I am. I was actually about to press the purchase button on a Nomad lot on eBay when I first came across a web page on the net displaying new Fc Mobile and Genesis handhelds being made by Hyperkin. That was in January, so I held off on getting a Nomad, made a forum post about both handhelds and now and I am enjoying my FC Mobile II and am waiting enthusiastically for the Digital Pocket.

@Tofu; a buddy of mine that goes by the screen name Tursi, at another site, is wondering how he gets in contact with someone about a DEV Kit. In case you need to know, the guy is the programmer of the Dreamcast game, and soon to be released Nintendo DS version of Cool Herders which was released by Goat Games. He really is interested in the Developmentla side of this project. If you want, PM me the information he needs or I could just PM you his e-mail address with his permission and you guys could handle it from there. Just please let me know.

I'd get it just to be able to play all my Mega Drive games that won't play on my Jvc X-Eye. Any word on a final release date?

[Melf]

I've contacted Innex for more information on these two, as I'd like to cover them for Sega-16. That handheld is sexy!

[GizmoGC]

I also did have a long conversation with the folks from AtGames, they've agreed to make any necessary changes to the systems if we can find any flaws so I'll be looking for playtesters very soon.

I'm actually in SoCal - where are you located?

[Chemdawg]

sweet, where can i get one of these? ebay?

[Sonicwolf]

I do not believe this portable has been released yet.

[Classicgamesdepot]

I am very excited about this. I used to love my Nomad, but basically stopped using it once the T cells in all my rechargeable battery packs went dead.

This will be awesome if it is any where near as good as the FC mobile II

[Chemdawg]

i really dont care about the portable really, anyone know when the sega that looks like sonics head comes out?

Probably the same day as the portable, I would assume.

Alright, at this point I don't longer believe much in "tofu"...He seem to be confused....First he claimed that Hyperkin,(where he supposedly works) had the only distribution rights for the new Sega clones, but Innex (Remember the great Retro Duo) have them instead......And these Atgames systems are definitely in their final stages because they should be out by July...

Hopefully they have fixed all of the problems that the first Atgames Megadrive did (the system shell looks the same though)...And the downloading part is very promising, including the cartridge connector that supports Mega Drive games as well....Innex is stepping up!

He also claimed it would have 20 built in games and a cartridge slot, which that video contradicts. You'd have to buy two portables now to accomplish that.

I contacted Innex they're hooking me up, so I will be covering this for Sega-16. They seem to be the ones who are behind this release.

Great to heard that man!
You already do a great job with the Sega games reviews and other stuff at sega-16 ....

[Tupin]

That downloading thing sounds awesome.

[Sonicwolf]

Im confused about all this now.
