Digi.k · 04/14/2018, 09:56 AM

Earlier Sega held their Sega Fest and had many announcements.. one of them was: Sega Mega Drive Mini

Looks like it will be released this year in Japan. Worldwide: tba. Games? tba

So, hopefully, no redesigned AtGames crappy product.

Apparently AtGames has claimed responsibility, but the source I was able to find is a Facebook post I can't read because I refuse to get a Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/ATGFlashback/posts/569040440124610

Hopefully that link isn't something other than I think it is.

Before this announcement Sega somewhere said they were going to bring their AtGames systems east. I saw this mini announcement and assumed that meant this was the AtGames product going east, but I haven't read the official confirmation yet.

AT made a comment saying it would have better emulation than the previous version. I didn't play with the one they released a bit ago; could anyone who has explain what the problems were?

...I guess I hope this is good but...Sega will put "Genesis" on total garbage and sell it. They've done it many times.

If atgames is handling then it will be a terrible plug'n'play console.There last one for the u.s was buggy and iffy emulation.

I wish they didn't have authority to make a comment in the first place. Another AT Games clone? FUCK

TheClash603 · 04/15/2018, 03:12 AM

I don't think the AtGames systems already available are that bad. I bought one for a gift for my nephew and he loves it. Emulation isn't perfect, but it is cheap and you get what you pay for. If I spent $300 on the AtGames Genesis I bought, I would be upset, for the price it was a great way to introduce Genesis to a little kid.

i was hoping this would be a good sega product but when i saw the ATgames in the article, i was sad.

NecroPhile · 04/16/2018, 11:14 AM

It sure is cute. I don't expect it to be anything other than a slightly improved version of the flashback thing they brought out last year.

VestCunt · 04/16/2018, 02:52 PM

Even if the emulation is good, SOMETHING about every ATgames product is going to suck. I got one of their SMS/GG handhelds with thirty games. I'm happy because it has titles that never made it to the SMS and the screen is better than the GG, but it's pretty janky.

1/3 of the games are unplayable because the d-pad is so sloppy.
1/3 of the games are unplayable without using the TV output because the screen is so small.

ParanoiaDragon · 04/17/2018, 03:50 AM

AT made an SMS/GG clone? I've seen all the Genny ones they did, but didn't know about that. Yeah, ATGames....., here's hoping Sega runs a tight ship over the quality.

SignOfZeta · 04/17/2018, 09:25 AM

Given the model they are showing they are clearly inspired by sales of NES/SNES Classic Mini. I sadly fear the quality won't even been in the same universe but they may sell just as many units.

Yeah pretty much. I won't be buying this.

xcrement5x · 04/17/2018, 11:24 PM

Glad I can save some money now and not buy it.

AT Games should just sell the cases on their own as well with a Raspberry Pi holder, they'd probably do well just for that.

geise · 04/20/2018, 03:49 PM

Sega doesn't have the pull anymore from the community like nintendo has. This is going to sell nowhere what nes and snes mini have. I wish it would but it's not going to. I also think the mini fad is wearing down. That or everyone has one at this point that really wants one. You can find snes mini's anywhere here.
