Well this came out of nowhere. In honor of Sonic's 25th Anniversary, ATGames is releasing another Genesis plug and play console with 80 games and according to the listing it's coming in October. Yes this is real and you can pre-order it right now

Here's what included, gamesGames

 

[BFIB]

The bit wars are back!

 

[oldmario]

Sega does what nintendo.... wait a minute

 

[OrbitalBeard]

If it's anything like previous models, it's a hard pass from me.

 

[lame gag]

Is this that thing that has the awful sound emulation?

 

[JohnTinker]

NES & Genesis on store shelves again. What decade is it?

Really cool, nonetheless

80 games? Step it up, Nintendo

 

[LewieP]

That looks the same as one that already exists.

 

[Zebei]

First the NES Mini and now this. . .


Nintendo confirmed to have bought SEGA.

 

[andymcc]

i'm sure this is going to have the same garbage sound emulation from the old ones.

 

[ckohler]

Sega does what Nintendid.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

If it's anything like previous models, it's a hard pass from me.

Yeah, don't these things have issues with sound and general playback?

 

[Karuto]

What makes this different from the other Sega Genesis 80-game system available? The 25th anniversary branding?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

"80 built-in gameslers in the pack"

 

[KingBroly]

Considering the track record on these Genesis reproductions...uh...no.

 

[Obscuritas]

Made by AtGames? Nope.

 

[Phoenixus]

Is this that thing that has the awful sound emulation?

More than likely. I'd be all over something like this with decent build and emulation quality.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Oh man I might get this. Didn't have a genesis back in the day.

 

[Movalpolos]

i'm sure this is going to have the same garbage sound emulation from the old ones.

This.

EDIT: If they actually included official wired 6-button controllers I can use on my real Genesis, I would bite.

 

[Stormhammer]

this is straight from sega? or one of those 3rd party garbage things you find at ross?

 

[kmfdmpig]

40 real games - 40 fillers that are listed as "Games List - bonus cartridge games"

On the plus side it plays MD/Genesis cartridges, which is nice.

Where are Phantasy Star Games? Fatal Labrynth (a trash game) makes it, but Phantasy Star 2-4 don't? That's dumb.

 

[Joqu]

I don't think this one was very good unfortunately. Fingers crossed it's an improved model somehow

 

[muzzymate]

How is that different than this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111WVVLM/?tag=neogaf0e-20 ? Game selection, maybe?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah, don't these things have issues with sound and general playback?

Correct. And it uses composite.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

If it has story of thor and perfect emulation I'll buy it

not expecting to buy it

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Awww, poor Nintendo isn't gonna have it's moment now.

These things are always shoddy, but most people here aren't going to be the target audience for it anyway.

 

[YianGaruga]

Nintendo vs SEGA in holiday 2016

what a strange year

 

[PAULINK]

this is straight from sega? or one of those 3rd party garbage things you find at ross?

licensed by sega, but definitely not up to the old games standards.

 

[Daffy Duck]

God that looks awful.

Nintendo had he right idea of minifying the old console, that thing, eugh.

And that's coming from a SEGA fanboy.

 

[Blam]

Damn Sega and Nintendo fighting it out again.

Also this looks to have a port for games but I'm probably wrong about that aren't I.

 

[Bgamer90]

That looks the same as one that already exists.

I was going to post the same thing.

 

[Flavius]

How is that different than this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111WVVLM/?tag=neogaf0e-20 ? Game selection, maybe?

Pretty sure it's the same one. Just cashing in on Nintendo hype...

 

[Metal-Geo]

Sega does what nintendo.... wait a minute

Sega does what Nintendoes too.

 

[Kyoufu]

That looks exactly the same as the one they released already.

 

[Chuck]

Sega does what nintendoes 10 years too late.

ft

 

[HyperHip]

Yeah that is most defintely atgame's console, noooo thanks.

 

[DeathSparks]

Made by AtGames? Nope.

And there goes my excitement, screw that.

 

[LewieP]

They should give us a mini-Dreamcast. A SOC version of DC hardware exists, but it was only used in a few arcade machines.

If Sega themselves can't manufacture it, maybe TecToy could?

 

[CaptNink]

Holy shit! I'm buying TWO retro consoles this fall?!

Edit: Read previous posts. Yeah, forget this.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Oh yeah, if theses things are the same as the other plug and play consoles from them, then I'll just pass. Besides I got Sonics Gensis Collection on PS3.

 

[Movalpolos]

Made by AtGames? Nope.

Nope nope nope.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Also, half of the 80 games included aren't Genesis / Mega Drive titles.

 

[MrCunningham]

Looks like a repackaging of this:

Is this that thing that has the awful sound emulation?

Yeah it does. If it is anything like the Radica released system, it is possible to mod the system to fix the horrid sound.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

If it's anything like previous models, it's a hard pass from me.

This. These are historically hot poop.

 

[dragonzdogma]

I would have preferred a master system to be honest

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Just as Animal Crossing on the Gamecube covers nearly everything worthwhile in the mini NES, Sonic Mega Collection covers nearly everything worthwhile here.

 

[MrBenchmark]

These are absolute garbage I have one it collects dust sound video are horrible freezes with some actual carts the controllers are trash as well. Do yourself and pass. I use my original Genesis the sound alone is heavenly.

 

[T.Slothrop]

How about they make it with a Saturn USB controller. Now that they're IMPOSSIBLE to find.

 

[Leafhopper]

This thing has already been out for years though.


Is this just different games?

 

[Sorcerer]

40 real games - 40 fillers that are listed as "Games List - bonus cartridge games"

On the plus side it plays MD/Genesis cartridges, which is nice.

Where are Phantasy Star Games? Fatal Labrynth (a trash game) makes it, but Phantasy Star 2-4 don't? That's dumb.

So far none of the MegaDrive clones have any kind of internal memory. So no Phantasy Stars, or games that require a save state.

Edit:

Does this thing still use composite cables?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

These have been around for ages. Not quite the same as the new mini NES.
