Forums - Gaming Discussion - Apparently tech journalist Zenji Nishikawa has a revolutionary scoop; claims SEGA has a major announcement for their 60th anniversary. It is a Tech related announcement

Maybe Xbox Series X will be backwards compatible with Dreamcast, Saturn and Sega CD :)

I'm just going to hope it's Virtua Fighter 6, and leave it at that. No point getting my hopes up too high.

The hyperbole is strong with this one.

BUT...I'll go way out into left field for a guess that is absolutely not going to happen. A Sega branded 2 TB M.2 stick with every Sega PC game on it plus a Sega emulator for classics and game launcher pre-installed.

We don't know what it is yet so we can't say its hyberbole.

Something definitely is going to happen: https://www.gematsu.com/2020/03/sega-launches-60th-anniversary-website-sega-shiro-character

SEGA began the whole marketing for their 60th birthday back in March leading up to the actual day. 

The last bit, once again, is not big news. The only console announcement that we be shocking on a industry level is a new console from SEGA. Why in the world would anybody else care about a SEGA legacy console? SEGA's best console was the Genesis and that got a regular announcement! That is best SEGA has offered in terms of popularity then they announce another lesser mini/legacy console as a 60th anniversary?  Why would he interview tech specialist and executives about a glorified emulator? c'mon guys.

I'm thinking some new tech or service that is just not for use by SEGA exclusively. 

What about a merger or partnership with either sony or microsoft?
Or perphaps a direct buy out.... like if Sony or MS just bought sega?

Sony hired Atlus (from Sega) to develop LoD2

Even as Persona is great, they probably still can't make it.

Sony and Atlus working together on a LoD2..... it would be some next level stuff.

Tbh the best thing about Sega, is that they own Atlus.
If Sega ever looks to sell off Atlus, I hope Sony is read with the pocket book.

I would say that the Ryu ga Gotoku team is also very strong and they release a game almost every year.

Well, here it is.

The Game Gear Micro, a $50 tiny Game Gear with a one inch(!) screen, preloaded with 4 games, for the low price of $50. There are four different colors (Black, Blue, Yellow, Red), each with their own unique set of four games. Coming this October!

Apparently my "Dreamcast Classic" guess was more than this announcement could live up to.

EDIT: Apparently the actual announcement is tomorrow. Never mind then.



Love and tolerate.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

This Nishikawa guy has a weird definition of the word "revolucionary."
