New SEGA Console to launch this Summer!!!!

A new games console that will emulate the Wii as well as allowing you to play classic Sega games is being launched in the summer.

The console, called the Sega Zone, will come with 20 classic Sega titles, like Alex Kid, Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and Ecco the dolphin as well as a further 30 games, 16 of which are motion controlled.

Users will be able to control the action via two included wireless remote controls and when not playing Sega titles be able to play the usual array of sports classic like table tennis, darts, fencing, beach volleyball, and golf by waving the controller in front of the screen as they do with the Nintendo console.

However gamers hoping to be able to load in more games will be disappointed, although the makers say that they hope to offer more Sega titles in the future, you won't be able to add them to this system.

Priced at around £50, the Sega Zone is expected to be out in the summer.

The Sega Zone follows the launch of a revamped Sega Mega Drive console launched in April 2009.

The console, which is smaller than the original comes preloaded with 15 Sega licensed games many of which are also featured on the Sega Zone.

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

And he's not even joking :fp:

It doesn't actually "emulate" the Wii, though, does it? It just looks a little like one and has motion controllers. I couldn't play Wii games on one.

I've informed UK:Resistance. They tend to get excited about stuff like this.

"Emulate the Wii"? What does that mean? There are some built in motion controlled games.

And Nintendo and Sega were getting along so well...

Someone really ought to make one of these that will reliably emulate most classic systems, or better yet play original games from past systems.

If there was one of these that would play games from every Sega console to date and that would allow use of original games. That I'd be interested in.

It's called a "PC".

A PC will play any Dreamcast or Saturn games I happen to have lying around out of the box straight away will it. Not to mention any cartridges.

I don't want something I have to faff about with to set up, something I can plug and play thats legitimate and even supported with releases thanks.

Never going to happen on that kind of scale, unfortunately. Currently, there's just waaaaay too many licensing restrictions that'd prevent it from ever reaching the shelves (legally, at least).

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

Holy strawberry floating gooseberry fool! Is this for real? Why is it only on this shitty site?

And it'll play Saturn and DC games too? REALLY?!

I want to get excited, but it sounds too good to be true, the price especially is just insane.

I have to say the lack of analogue stick on the controller is suspicious...

Not Saturn and DC games, no. That was never said.
And the one that takes cartridges was released last year.

This is not Sega-made. Turns out there are more of these "Zone" consoles around with different games.

Look at all these wonderful games:

WALKING-RACE

BOX WORLD

HITTING MICE

FISH WAR

BEE FIGHTING

For whatever reason, Sega let these guys use their games for this version. Like how they let Tectoy make countless re-releases of the Master System and MegaDrive.

Not out of the box, but install the emulators for it you lazy git.

You seem to be getting several things mixed up.

This Zone thing does none of the above. Theres a Megadrive like thing that takes old Cartridges thats been available for a while.

What I said was that I wouldn't be interested until they managed to make one of these that played Saturn and DC games as well...there is currently no such device.

skim reading fail.

I wish Sega would come back.

We need a 4th dimension.

"You raised my hopes, then dashed them quite expertly sir. Bravo!"

Another one of these Plug&Play gadgets? :fp:

I had a dream last night that SEGA released a new console. Didn't look anything like that though.

Good times :shifty:
