faggot
Sounds worthless
>rumor: Sega might be making something no one will buy at a low, low price of $599You don't even need a rumor to receive nothing of value you know
>>740272056based af. we haven't had a new handheld since the 3ds, which was like 15 years ago
So it is one of those licensed retro handhelds like Evercade, it is akin to a chink emulator handheld without the piracy part, you can buy carts with select game in it.
>>740272184No u
Theres no demand for something as low power as this
>>740272056Low cost handheld gaming deviceLow power ARM processor, not x865" OLED panel (same form factor as the Vita), aggressive cost cutting elsewhere to accommodate thisSeemingly pretty limited internal storageRemovable game cartridgesNo mention of 3D acceleration beyond basic UI/compositingReferences being designed for “modern 2D titles” and “pixel art presentation”
>>740272392Not the usual high capacity consumer NAND you'd expect of a modern handheldLooks like low capacity industrial eMMC modules - these are readily available and not caught up in the AI memory price inflationSmaller storage, makes sense if the target games are 2D Indies etc.
>>740272312Sega fans?
>>740272546This wont have exclusive games so its pointless. Why would any gamer buy this when any other device they have would play the games better? A PS5 or Xbox or Switch or low spec PC or Laptop will all be more powerful.
>>740272647What if sega does release some exclusives
If they put some shitty exclusive shovelware sonic game on it it'll sell
>>740272872Sonic forces 2.0
>>740272779They won't
>>740273016How do you know
>>740272056give me a saturn handheld and i'm set since people will find a way to hack it and being able to pirate everything
>>740273261Just play saturn games on your phone
>>740273418>playing with touch controlsand don't pull the "use a controller"card, because at that point, since i'm still going to carry some extra bullshit, why not using a dedicated handheld?
>>740272779sega games sell like shit while being multiplat.
>>740272056Welcome back Game Gear.
>>740274261Yes
so Evercade but shit
With memory prices they way they are it'd make more sense to work with and improve cd rom tech
Fuck handhelds
>>740272056If it runs sonic mania i'll probably get one
>>740276816Good
Sega bros we won
>>740272056anyone who even partially believes this fake rumor to be true is absolutely braindead.
what games would it get?
>>740272056I would buy it if I can play Dreamcast games on it.
>>740279013all the sonic gamesafter that i'd hope they'd make original stuff for the console like modretro does for their gameboy clone
IMAGINE
