Using the 68000 is overkill, 6502A is where its at but no more than 1mhz. Should help keep manufacturing costs reasonable. Still a huge number of Tamagotchi's still sold using the chip so should be widely available.

Keep the joysticks super simple too no need to over-complicate the design. Making use of nearby flat surfaces will reduce the use of plastic.

2 buttons? That's too many buttons!

You might be right. Keeping the controller as simple as possible will appeal to the casual only gamers.

Sega doesn't need a Dreamcast 2. They just need to give two attachments to the original Dreamcast...

Sega 128-X: Attaches to the top of your Sega Dreamcast and converts your CD based system into a cartridge based one.

Sega CD 2: Attaches to the top of your Sega 128-X and converts your Dreamcast back into a CD based system!
