SEGA Wants To Do Sega Saturn Mini And Dreamcast Mini BUT.....

so it is no secret that I am a Sega fan like I am a big fan of Sega I grew up with the Genesis I thought it was the best I thought it was better than the Super Nintendo in retrospect you know kind of boiled down to what sort of games you preferred some of the Super Nintendo games might have held up a little bit better than Genesis and vice versa but I am a Sega fan but I'm not a blind Sega fan I'm not one of these blind Sega Fanboys who just loves everything Sega does because I think they do a lot of stupid stuff now obviously I don't see their accounting books I don't know what works for them and what doesn't work for them but from an outsider's perspective from someone who's been following Sega since he was a little kid I feel like I know how to sort of maximize their IPs and potentially maximize their reach within the video game industry now if you're a Sonic the Hedgehog fan none of this really applies to you because Sonic the Hedgehog is treated like the Golden Goose of Sega stuff whether you're talking about new games compilations of old games new TV shows new movies and movie theaters Sonic fans are always eating well and yes you could judge the quality of the games as varying but I think the Sonic stuff that we've been getting lately has been pretty good Sonic Superstars also coming out this year Sonic Origins plus we've got Sonic frontiers all of these games were really well done in my opinion and very enjoyable if you're a Sega Genesis die hard and you only look at Sega for the Genesis once again you're eating just fine you're a glutton not only have you gotten multiple releases of Sega Genesis Classics available on Modern platforms since the Xbox 360 PS3 era but you've gotten many consoles as well sega's actually released two different Genesis mini consoles it was the original one and then the Sega Genesis mini 2. both of these were very well received by both fans and consumers and critics you know that's more than both because that's three but whatever dude we're just gonna roll with it and I think the library of games was very diverse and very Dynamic to show off the highlights of the Sega Genesis the model 2 Sega Genesis mini is actually right here at my desk I play it from time to time when I'm like uploading a video or something because I like having the Sega CD stuff on him I think it's really cool I like all the little intricate trinkets that they put into the menu system of these things but if you like anything beyond Sonic the Hedgehog and you like anything beyond the Sega Genesis you could pretty much go to hell like that's just how I feel Sega that's how I feel like you treat me because you don't treat Virtua Fighter with the same respect you don't treat Shining Force with the same respect you don't treat fantasy star with the same respect and I could go on and on and on there are many IPS that Sega has that they just don't seem to care about but there's also consoles that they don't seem to care about as well and I of course I'm talking about the Sega Saturn and the dream cast because going back to the whole mini discussion we just had many systems used to be the everyone had to have one you had the NES mini you had the Super Nintendo mini you have the turbo Graphics 16 mini you have the Commodore 64 mini and mini systems I think although they've sort of lost some of their luster I think people still buy these things I still think people are interested in these systems especially when their system sometimes that potentially have Nostalgia or it's harder to come by the games from them and that's what's bringing me to today's Point probably one of my longest intros ever but this is something where you have to you have to till the soil you gotta get a hoe until the soil to make it so that when you plant the seed then it'll grow because if this seed doesn't grow I'm gonna be really annoyed so Sega is now somewhat talking about new Mini consoles for the Saturn and for the Dreamcast things that should have been done a long time especially the Dreamcast okay we'll get into this in just a minute but here's the article in question Sega has released too many mega drive so far Saturn is difficult to turn into a mini console since Sega boss well no kidding it's difficult you have that weird architecture going on with it and all that sort of stuff so reading on with it there was a interview with the Sega president and CEO Yukio tsujino I hope I'm saying that right I feel like tsujino uh I feel like I'm pretty spot on with that even though so Gino sounds kind of Italian oh maybe he's maybe he's half Japanese half Italian who knows I'm not here to judge him so in an interview with famitsu magazine that was translated by VGC it says that Mr Sugino said that the Sega Saturn is surprisingly high performance so the difficulty of miniaturization is also very high I don't think it's a case of selling of saying let's make another one because it sells well it looks like it's going going to be a little longer so a lot of stuff to take away from that obviously the the Sega Saturn was a more difficult architecture than something like the PlayStation one I believe there's two gpus in it there was no dedicated 3D driver like Sega Saturn was one of the harder systems to emulate for the longest time but Sega Saturn emulation has gotten pretty damn good now you have things like the potential carbon engine you have companies like M2 and I'm not trying to kiss mbg's ass screw MBG but the carbon engine is proving itself time and time again to be a very formidable foe with retro video games companies like M2 you know they're Port master so I feel like they could do this system potentially Justice if it comes down to making a system but it sounds kind of like there's hesitation with this and I get that because of the standpoint that hey you know this would be a large task to do but let's keep reading on and then I'll get into my deeper thoughts with this I'd like to think about it when we're in a situation where we can openly develop it together with people who have always loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast so now we're talking about you want people like the carbon engine you want people like M2 you want people who have designed potentially emulators who have designed back end ways to play Sega Saturn and Dreamcast games because you also mentioned Dreamcast nobody here mentioned Dreamcast we mentioned Sega Saturn so now we're talking about a Sega Saturn mini and a Dreamcast mini so to me that shows that you want to do this you want to do this and obviously both systems are very unique systems but let's be real about one thing it's a hell of a lot easier to emulate Dreamcast stuff than it is Sega Saturn stuff Point Blank period because Dreamcast emulation has been around I don't know it feels like since the dawn of time and it runs on pretty much anything that you have that has somewhat modern specs on it cell phones mini PCS We've ran Dreamcast stuff upscaled on a bunch of mini PCS absolutely no problem now a Mini PC obviously costs more but you also have to factor in that Mini PC has a version of Windows on it so they had a license that this that and the other but strip all that away and you have desire to do Dreamcast you have desire to do Sega Saturn both libraries which are not well represented in the Modern Age of games you did stuff like the Dreamcast collection on the Xbox 360 and then you forgot about it why can't I play Daytona USA why can't I play Virtual Fighter 3 TB why can't I play third-party games like D2 or you know first party games like zombies Revenge I don't know why everyone hates zombies Revenge I think it's a pretty fun game why can't I play Sega Saturn games like nights into dreams or Virtual Fighter 2 or fighting vipers or anything there's so much stuff here Sega you've tilled the land you you've made it so that the the that the crops have been planted and the skies are now looking we're all looking towards the skies for this rain flood of Sega Classics this rain flood of Sega mini systems that doesn't involve the Sega Genesis that doesn't involve The Game Gear that actually takes a little bit of work but the rewards I feel would far outweigh the risks of this people want a Dreamcast mini people want a Sega Saturn mini I guarantee you this video is going to do very well because people want things like this so how do we make it happen I think we're at the point especially with this interview pending that that this interview is is something that we can latch on to I I feel like at this point we just need to be heard people who want to Sega Saturn mini people who want to Sega Dreamcast mini we just need to be heard at this point send this video to Sega tag him on Twitter in it like you know if we got to go Grassroots with this let's let's go Grassroots with it I got nothing but time man I sit around and talk about video games all day take a nap eat some food rinse and repeat that's my life but if my life could turn into something good with Sega because I know and I know you're watching this video too Sega I know you're watching this because I know you watch me hi Sega I'm friends with people that work there I know people that work there give us the goods okay give us give us something a little bit more than Sonic can be your fallback option if everything goes to hell you still have Sonic you still have Atlas you still have Persona very popular franchises cash cows right now for you take a little bit of a risk take a little bit of a plunge talk to mvg he's not hard to get a hold of let's try to make something happen here let's do this get a Sega Saturn mini and development get a second Dreamcast mini and development or at the very least a compilation of games for modern platforms there's enough companies out there that would be interested in this there's enough passionate retro Gamers who don't have their head up their ass that would love to see something like this and I'm one of them so let's make this happen man I I don't know what are your ideas how can we make this a foreseeable thing because obviously the desire is there there's just not a plan to make it happen but if we can convince them that other people have the same desire and other people want this plan to come to fruition I feel like this guy is the limit and maybe that's just me being my naive but I mean hey we don't know until we try you know if we try we get some good Buzz that you know yes the the public wants to Sega Saturn mini yes the public wants a Sega Dreamcast mini and then Sega just decides not to do it at least we gave it an honest effort we're doing this we're doing this make it happen Sega I love you I want to love you and this will make me love you more share this video around share this information with your friends make a website article about it just copy pasting my video or translating it and putting it I don't care okay I don't care I just want to make this a reality for people I feel like we could do it together and if not hey at least we tried I'll catch you guys on the next video later
