I would try it first, just to be sure.

As far as my opinions go, sure the sega cd was a terrible system, but I consider both saturn and dreamcast to be the two most underrated systems of all time. Most people know how amazing the dreamcast is, but even avid gamers would be amazed at the catalog of Saturn games out there that most of us never had the experience of playing.

Just write SEGA on your Wii with blue sharpie.

What makes or breaks a console is exclusives, all of which Nintendo owns the rights to correct?

Would they be able to get those exclusives back?

It'd be hard.

For sake argument they get thier exculsives sonic, shemmue, soul caliber, etc.

They'd need to have a gimmick, similar to the Wii. At Least IMO...I don't see how they could survive when Sonic currently isn't enough to sell a console, and there are many alternatives to fighting games right now.

But if they brought out a MVC game, it might be able to keep the console alive, like it did for the DC (it wasn't ported to any other systems until 2 years beforehand, if there were another MVC game, and Sega could get it's hands on it for a while before anyone else, it could be a hit.

But more importantly than anything, more than exclusives, in order for a Sega system to work, I think there'd have to be some gimmick (like the Wii's motion controls, or the PS3's Blu-Ray).

I definitely would. After all, I think Sega needs to make another console.

Or just change your original X-Box from green to blue (or red-orange) and you have an updated DreamCast. Fucking Microsoft.

I've heard that Sega was thinking about making a new console. But... they actually are making enough money to keep playing it safe. Still, according to what I heard, they are always still thinking about a new console.

And I will buy it.

Yes, I'd buy it. And it shall be called the Sega Uranus.

Sega will never make another console.

Never.

Maybe if...no. Never.

Nobody in the upper ranks has any desire for it anymore, and it's just easier to make 3rd-party games for other systems. More profitable, too.

And just to make it clear: Never.

SHUT YOUR HOLE WANG-CHUNG!!!!!!!!!!

Hey now don't bum my vibe by saying it won't happen, I already know it's not gonna happen, but I can dream, right?

As much as I want it....he is right. It costs so much to make a console, while simply whoring themselves out to multiple consoles yields much more money.

But yes, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Why do we want or need yet another console?

We need better development for the consoles we have.

Posted: Sep 22 2008 01:15 pm

I said yes even though I love Nintendo, because if it was anything like the Dreamcast but updated it would be great. That was the only system I really loved by Sega, and it kicked alot of ass, and had alot of great games.

Posted: Sep 22 2008 01:24 pm

I would buy it only if they remembered which side of the controller to put the chord on, or in the more likely scenario that they make wireless controllers.

I hated DC controllers, but loved the games.

I'd buy it. Sega will probably revive some of the older franchises, because they whored out the rights to Sonic and Shenmue, so... *fingers crossed* Streets of Rage, Streets of Rage.

Posted: Sep 22 2008 02:24 pm

If they make a new Shenmue it needs something new, at the end of Shenmue II you and that girl you're escorting through the woods find some sort of magic floating sword in a cave, so if Shenmue III ever does come out and contains more walking around town asking people where the sailors are I'll puke. Bleating and Babbling

Plus Ryo needs to change his clothes, he's been wearing that brown leather jacket that white tee and those blue jeans the whole damn time, he probably smells like ass and top ramen. Also that band aid on his face has to be completely filthy. (unless he changes it every day because he's a Nelly fan and doesn't even have any sort of facial wound. Confused

)
To top it off he never eats anything, yeah sure he can drink tons of soda without pissing himself and can spend all his money on crappy toys from those quarter machines like he's a five year old shopping for groceries with mommy instead of an adult on an angry quest for vengeance, but when have you ever been able to feed that goofball? Mad

I dunno, I think they should just leave Streets of Rage alone and untainted. I mean, look what Capcom did to Final Fight... Sad

I'd probably do what I normally do, play all the demos at Wal-Mart and then leave being all ticked off because the it costs more then what I make a month.

I probably would buy it, but it still would be nothing like the Genesis/SNES console wars back in the 90's - so it wouldn't have the same glamour and excitement as it once did to me buying a new Sega console.

Great post dude. Speaking of Ryo, when you fall into that muddy river, he leaves his cold, wet, dirty ass jeans, jacket, and shirt on. He never has to take a shit or piss, never eats, yet he still can lift huge crates and kick gargantuan dude's asses. But yeah, I was pissed when I learned Shenmue 2 was going to be for xbox, so I bought the Euro version. What pissed me off even more was that no Shenmue 3 was going to be possible. Now I have an incomplete game, great.

It would depend on the quality of games. Or if it were backwards-compatible with the Dreamcast and Saturn.

Posted: Sep 23 2008 10:37 pm

I seriously doubt that this would ever happen (and I seriously doubt it), but I wanted to mention it anyway.

What if Nintendo and Sega made a console together? It could have a controller that's like a Wiimote, but also have a lot of memory in it. It would also have downloadable 8-bit and 16-bit games as well as discs of games made in higher-resolution graphics. It could also be directly backwards compatible with Sega-CD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii discs.

It could also have a wireless peripheral that could have cartridge slots from every cartridge-based system from Nintendo and Sega. Perhaps a few third-party companies, such as SNK (Neo-Geo) and Hudson and NEC (PC-Engine/Turbografx-16), could add a few slots of their own as well.

Let me emphasize again that I doubt that this would ever happen, but a man can dream, right?

So, basically some kind of Uberconsole? That'd be rad. Not a chance in hell, but rad.
