I think they're quite happy that they can now enjoy SEGA games on all kinds of devices and don't have to buy an outdated piece of plastic every 5 years that only plays a fraction of the games they want to play. |
No that's wrong. I wish SEGA still made consoles. SEGA no longer makes the games that made us fans of them,mainly because it became too expensive since releasing a game on 2-3 platforms cost more,so they dropped new IP's and interesting games in favor of very safe money makers. They are a shell of the SEGA that once was. Also Genesis ended up with more releases than SNES. Saturn 600 games. Dreamcast 686 official releases,that is before we go into the games that are made for the thing to this day by indie devs. Dreamcast was not outdated when it came out. It was very powerful. First time we saw Arcade games look better on a console. DC had many PC ports and a few pretty good ones. I would rather spend 300-400 bucks every 5 years to have the SEGA of the 90s back to be making new awesome IPs every few seconds. The SEGA that gave us Rent a Hero,Jet Set Radio,Seaman,Space Shannel 5,Thunder Force,Outrun,After Burner,Burning Rangers,Panzer Dragoon,Segaga,Shining Force,Virtual On,Fighting Vipers,Virtua Fighter,Shenmue,Last Bronx,Phantasy Star (not online),House of the Dead,Shinobi,Golden Axe and so so so much more. Take that over Sonic every year and Mario/Sonic Olympic games and a few RTS games on PC. Yeah they own Atlus but Atlus is still Atlus pre SEGA. If I could trade let's say MS in in favor of having old SEGA back and making consoles..in a heart beat.
Most SEGA fans from that era would agree. Been on plenty of SEGA fansites and forums. We still greatly miss SEGA making consoles.
