SEGA president Shuji Utsumi has announced in a recent interview that the company has no plans for more of its successful SEGA mini consoles stating that the company is looking forward not backwards when it comes down to development. Mr. Utsumi said that he completely values the company’s impressive legacy, but says at present that the established company needs to considerate on producing new titles from its vast back catalogue and also developing new IPs.
“I’m not going for the Mini direction. It’s not me. I want to embrace modern gamers. We are not a retro company. We really appreciate our legacy, we value it, but at the same time, we want to deliver something new – otherwise we’ll become history. That’s not what we’re aiming for.”
Probably for the best.
Shame. I would be all over a Dreamcast.
There are multiple time travel options. I’m telling you this so I would prevent Sega from allegedly bankruptcy.
You probably haven’t heard of, for example, the Bermuda Triangle, the Bridgewater Triangle, the Bennington Triangle, the Dragon Triangle, the Alaska Triangle, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Montauk Project, or the Stargate Project. So never say never. I forgot to add the Nevada Triangle too. For example, time travelers are Sergei Ponomarenko, Andrew Carlssin, Madman Markum, John Titor, Alfred Bielek, Duncan Cameron, Rudolf Fentz, John Zagreus, Andrew Basiago.
I bet that if Nintendo does a Nintendo 64 mini then SEGA will then make a Dreamcast mini by the end of the same year
Genesis 2?
They already said no to mini consoles atleast two times before this.
A shame really.
They should have done the Sega CD or Saturn first before stopping I would have loved a dreamcast mini too honestly.
The Genesis 2 mini kinda was the Sega CD mini with many SCD game picks on it.
saturn hardware emulation is a bit too complex to emulate well on arm/android, an fpga would need to be used, which would push the price too high. as for dreamcast, the requirements would need a higher end arm chip and more memory than past mini consoles, pushing the price too high again. going well over $100 once you include game royalties, retail mark up, sega’s profit margin ove the lifetime cost per unit to manufacture and service, they’d make money on it, but not as much as they make focusing on other ventures.
it’s the same reason there’s no n64 mini, once you cross a certain level of hardware needs, you can’t run it on bottom of the barrel arm mini boards anymore. yes you can run some n64 games on the nes classic, but to keep up framerates you’ll probably have to turn off texture filtering and antialiasing, which are both huge parts of n64’s graphics.
There’s always the SteamDeck for those 32X, Saturn, and Dreamcast games?
It seems like SEGA is focused on the future rather than revisiting its past with the SEGA Mini consoles. Shuji Utsumi’s comments about embracing modern gamers and creating new IPs show that the company is keen on evolving and staying relevant in the gaming world. While their legacy is something they deeply appreciate, the goal is to create fresh, innovative content rather than looking back.
