    Default Sega releasing new motion based console!... Kinda

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

    I'm intrigued as to how well the motion controllers actually work, but it does seem to be just another mediocre collection of Sega games packaged with a standard mini-game waggle fest that we see so much of on the Wii.

    Pongs of the modern age. Eh it's just another plug-n-play like the Atari Flashback.

    I would imagine the "motion controls" would be rather simplistic. I do find it interesting that the controllers feature more buttons than a Wii remote. They actually look kinda neat but no telling how hard it would be to play a game with that thing.

    That looks like that crappy $30 Wii knockoff they sell at CVS pharmacy.

    Eh, appears to be the same developer in fact. Zone40, Zone Sega, whatever.

    Damn it, why can't they release a Dreamcast clone?

    Someone, tell YOBO or the guys who made the RetroDuo!

    Is this merely licensed or is Sega actually launching this thing? All reports seem to say that "Sega" is launching it.

    I don't see it anywhere mentioned on sega.com, but if Sega actually posts it on their official website then I will buy it. If they are merely receiving licensing fees for the unit then i'll pass. I mean sure they get money for licensing the games, but they already will have received that money, but if they are footing the bill to make the units, then i'll support it in hopes of more Sega "consoles".

    So does that mean that Sega just sold someone else a license to slap their logo on it? That's the question. Happens all the time when comapnies go under.

    This console reminds me of a nasty Wii Knockoff called 'The Zone'. Anybody seen this?

    Post 5 above. And looking closer at the controller. It actually does say Zone across the top.

    I love how Sega hands out licenses for these knockoffs but disavows knowledge of these products.

    Nowhere on Sega.com is this product even mentioned.

    These knockoff companies surely can't be rolling in money. Unless Sega is so devalued that its pretty cheap to get a license.


    If i wanted to make a toaster with a Sega logo on it, I bet Sega would let me do it.

    It would be cool if it was compatible with the Sega Activator, imagine using that while using the handheld motion controllers.

    If you do I'll consider buying one from you. Having a toaster with Sega across the side would be awesome.

    No, that's another system that came out last year. The article mentions it near the end with a link to it, but the new one that has motion controls can't have any games added.

    Here's the link for the system that accepts older carts;
