Do you ever wonder...

This always pops into my head regarding companies that stopped making game systems.  Do you believe that NEC/Hudson will ever release a new game system?  I ask the same thing regarding Sega on the Sega.com board.

Nice thought but while.. sony and ms and nintendo are there i doubt it.

Right now there is to much competition for the consoles.

That's like hopeing, Sega would enter the market again with there own console.

I know.  I know.  It's just a thought.  A thought that might as well never come true.  It would be interesting that the competition in the future will be Nintendo, Sega, and NEC/Hudson.  Though I do like the Xbox 360 better than the PS3.  I just hope that if the PS3 is a dud, it won't have an underground following like the TurboGrafx and PC-Engine systems.  Imagine if Nintendo, Hudson, and NEC join forces to make the system after the Wii.  Though I would rather there be an independent NEC/Hudson system.  

I am glad that I found this forum because all of the other one on NEC systems are hollow.  You should check out the Sega.com forum because it uses the same system of layout.

Well I think Hudson needs to get together with NEC again and start designing a new Turbo Express. With all the new tech today the TE can be crushed down to a Gamboy micro, and I think it would do well since alot people are into retrogaming these days.

You know, that would be a good idea. Not that I think it would happen, but you could make a newer, tiny TE, and it could have an internal 64 meg or so chip that holds nearly every single good hucard known to man, and it could probably be sold dirt cheap.  Market it like the Atari/Sega multigame systems and I think it could do really well.

I got a TE and a flash card so I could do this very thing, but it wasn't dirt cheap.

I think that is a good idea.  The best way to reintroduce yourself is through a portable system.  It shouldn't be a smaller Turbo Express, but a new one that is backwards compatible with the Turbografx/PC-Engine.  Well NEC hasn't lost its touch with the gaming industry.  They made the graphics card for the Dreamcast, and ram for the Gamecube and Wii.

Hopefully it will be more successful than the Atari reintroduction into the game system business through the Lynx.
