For SEGA to attempt to “delete” their history by taking away access to classic games, yet make new versions of old titles, is just a bad, BAD move! Come ON, SEGA! Why would you deny the greatness of SEGA’s contribution to gaming history, especially the 90s!??!
SEGA is a retro company whether they like it or not. They’ve barely survived the last couple decades. If it weren’t for licensed old IP and minis they wouldn’t exist. I don’t see how they could do anything that would make them suddenly relevant to younger new generations of gamers.
And in all likelihood anything they did make along those lines would sell out immediately. Both mini consoles sold really well, the mini 2 selling out within days on Amazon. I don’t know why Nintendo and Sega seem to have an aversion to mini consoles. The market is there. Atari and others are doing really well out of it. And then you have the chromatic etc It’s a massive industry and I think it will only get bigger as more and more people want to relive experiences on consoles from the 8 bit era to as recent as Xbox, N64 and PlayStation that are increasingly hard to come by. Hardware fails, the number of consoles out there in good condition diminishes every year.
I mean, it was already mentioned how expensive it would be to do a Saturn or a Dreamcast mini. So it really ain't a surprise they're not interested in doing it.
I remember in League of Legends there's a character called Wukong and then Dota 2 added "Monkey King" to cash in on the Chinese Market. Also I think Goku is what Wukong is called in Japanese, so there's like a lot of stuff based on this character
Friendly reminder they've delisted the SEGA Mega Drive Collection and a host of Saturn/Dreamcast ports off of Steam as early as... this December, actually. So... yeah, they've just stopped distributing at least 30 of their old games, and aren't looking forward to bringing those back.
@@CrashNicker They also said they are planning to start a Netflix-style subscription service, I guess they want to make the next Stadia. A Netflix-style service in gaming is basically just cloud gaming.
What old games?? They for example have been making new Sonic games,also de Yakuza saga with new games n bunch of other games,its not only old games in packs,,also i believe they r planning a streaming subscripcion just like Ubisoft,Ea Games,ect ect,so i assume that's why they discontinuidad the old classic games they had in stores,however its a shame they could nt put out there at least a Sega Dreamcast mini,but even Nintendo didnt do it with a N64 mini,so i guess its the end for the mini consoles,probable only Atari n others will keep launching those.
Another tone deaf CEO putting his thoughts or vision ahead of the company and what makes them money. He needs to prove his worth and create his legacy which will just hurt the brand as a whole. When it tanks, he rides off into the sunset on his golden parachute.
That's one of the rumors that's going around. The other rumor is that they are planning on launching a subscription service, a Sega version of Gamepass mixed with their retro stuff and new modern games. Going back to the console rumor, they are developing enough brand new games to support a console (remember last year or so when they announced modern sequels to Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, etc). In theory, they could release a brand new console that's on the same power level as the Switch 2 or Xbox Series S (they don't need to release something as powerful as a Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X), which will make it where they earn a profit on the console (rather than losing money on consoles sold). All I know is that Sega is planning something huge. Whether it's a console or a gamepass style service remains to be seen.
The market doesn't have the space for another console and SEGA probably can't afford to keep their games locked up to 1 machine, so I can't see how a new console from them would work.
They're not gonna release another console, the same guy who want to make a cloud subscription service also doesn't want to make a new plastic box cause plastic is hazardous to his health and he don't like it.
@@yarc9 Uh, no, they're not "better". They're just better for lazy fucks who want the game handed to them with "casual mode" and tutorials. The graphics are nice, but the soul is gone. Retro games have a charm that new games will never have - ever - Period.
@@SomeRetroGuyYes, we do want retro games. You don't speak for all of us. And we haven't gotten a Phantasy Star RPG without the online crap, in ages. So, no - we're not getting the "royal treatment". We're just getting sold upgraded games because the idiots have nothing original and they need to fill their sales quotas. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have a new Dragon Quest, or Final Fantasy - but, FFS, I think we deserve a shot at playing many more retro games (whether in their original state, remastered or remade) that have not had their chance in the spotlight!
>"We're not a retro company." They say this while releasing games like Sonic Origins, Superstars, and Sonic X Shadow Generations, which all bank on nostalgia for the 90s and early 00s.
@@miltonbates6425Nintendo has never said they aren’t a retro company. Nintendo knows the value of their classic games, and chooses not to flood the market with them to devalue those games.
I did my part and answered that survey (live in Japan and bought my mega drive 2 mini here) i chose saturn and dreamcast so really had hope they would release one next year😢
Looks like Sega are sending mixed messages about whether they're a retro company or not with all the licensing of their old IPs and not saying they're a retro company. Us long-life Mega Drive/Saturn/Dreamcast fans don't need Sega anymore, for instance look at the Mega Drive, it's been called ''The Console That Refuses To Die'' and it has more support now than it ever had in it's initial life-span with new indie made games coming out left, right and centre and with EverDrives and plenty of other hardware and ways to play their old games just all the more cements my point that we don't need them anymore, the Mega Drive in particular will continue to thrive without them glossing over it. Go away Sega Sammy, continue to make your crappy 3D Sonic titles that barely get off the ground, keep making obscure titles digital only and remove all your old content, you're just a shadow of your former self. We don't need you anymore.
"Remember kids! Game preservation is BAD! We CANT have THAT. You shouldn't have access to the classics! Here, have this half-baked glitchy shovelware we pulled out of a hat, and remember, rack up your credit card with those micro-transactions and loot crates! And, little heads up, don't forget these are subscription! Can't have you only paying once for the game!" I swear that's how they think sometimes, how a lot of companies, particularly Nintendo think lately.
Mini Consoles seem like a cheap thing to do and an easy thing to sell. why not do a Sega Master System? then you could do remakes of some of those games.
I stopped buying new games 4 years ago. The last game I purchased was The Last of us 2. Count me out, I’ll stick with emulation and play the classics. Good riddance
@@grgmj1980yes, it came out in April, and IMO it was a GOTY contender. It is a PS5 exclusive for now, but it's scheduled for a PC release in 2025. P.S. it's also a game refreshingly free from any attempt to appeal to the "modern audience".
those mini consoles just should of had more games on them. some dude went out of there way with a hack. If you don't like it get a old laptop and put retropi setup on it. no hacks.
What are they for you have the best consoles Xbox series X PS5 even a PC now you want a sega mini to play just Sega games no thanks even if they got released I wouldn’t buy one
The minis will probably outlive the recent consoles. The moving parts on consoles fail over time, fan, and they generate a lot of heat. I bet the mini consoles will still boot up and work years down the line when all but the last few recent games consoles like PlayStation qnd Xbox are increasingly breaking down and parts are few and far between.
Sega could’ve just made a Sega Master System Mini (with Master System, SG-1000, Sega Mark 3, and Game Gear games) and it would sell like cupcakes in Europe and Brazil. I bet people in America would love to experience an 8-bit Sonic the Hedgehog.
It needs to sell in NA and Japan or else they're not making it. Sega doesn't get all the money from Master Systems in Brazil and Europe, only the distributor like TecToy and AtGames got those. That's why even though Game Gear and SMS were successful in those market, it counts as a failure overall cause the money doesn't go to Sega.
A Saturn Mini would have sold like hot cakes. Dreamcast, ehhhhh most of the best games have been ported to other consoles or PC already. Saturn has a big library of games stuck on that platform. Would have been an easy sell.
He doesn’t seem to be making any sense. A lot of SEGAs biggest fans and customers know about its history and catalogue of games, especially the Master System, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and arcades. That is one big slap in the face to its loyal customers and fans.
We, the "Classic Audience" is what tremendously helped put Sega on the map. They should give us what we want. Screw their future vision. These CEO's don't even play games.
If you don’t wanna do retro anymore, that’s fine then make present make a new console then stop with the bullshit games and make a console that people want
I read into this as retro games are not continuously monetizable so they are focusing on "modern games". I think in the end it is greed that will make Sega history, not classic games.
I think SEGA is more trying to focus on making their new releases quality, rather than relying on their old titles. I say this because the company as a whole has a history of being bad at properly wording things.
SEGA are right, In the sense of the word “retro” they are NOT a retro company. Retro means something NEW made to look OLD. Retro is inspired by the old school. Things that used to be. Shovel knight is a proper retro game. Made to look old using today’s tech. So no, they really aren’t a retro company. I never say I’m a retro gamer. I’m an old-school gamer.
Yet Sega is making Metaphor: Re-Fantazio, a new game and IP made to look like an old game or IP (Persona). This game is basically Persona without calling it Persona.
That's insulting for me as a hardcore SEGA fan since 1989. We are Generation-X who supported and made SEGA what it is and the biggest part of its legacy. Modern gamers barely know SEGA. I hope Chinese companies read about this and remake a NOMAD that is dedicated to play everything up the the SATURN at least.
Sega put out the same damn games already ported to everything (Switch, PS) multiple times. When it couldn't get any worse, they left out the only reason it's worth buying (Lunar, Popful Mail) in U.S. market. I gave up on Sega years ago.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Really wish they didn't use the mythical "modern gamer/audience" lingo As if to say that newer players wouldn't play an established ip, i mean does sega think they are dumb or something?
I am a fn of their mini consoles, but I think they are right. After buying a Miyoo Mini Plus myself, I sold all my minis that I had not touched for ages, and now I am playing retro games more than ever. So, I think they are making the right choice, given most of us own such devices. I think that since these Chinese handhelds got popular and more accessible, there is less appetite every where for these minis.
Those minis are official products, and for a lot of people are shelf decoration but that is also functional too with a decent selection of games (and emulated by M2 I believe). So I think they are quality and worth it for many people, but not everyone. I bought them and I’ll be keeping them. I no longer have the original hardware and it’s the next best thing in many ways.
I've bought a few emulators that broke quickly.. Though my Mini Mini plus is solid after two years. It's beats the Sega classic. It beats plenty of things.
I mean that's fair on Sega's part. They were kind of pigeonholing themselves as such a company. Though they still have Atlas and Sammy???? I don't know what Sammy brings to the table... I know what Atlus does, and that's apparently STRICTLY PERSONA (TECHNICALLY SHIN MEGAMI). Oh and now Catherine. Other than that Sega seems to really be JUST SONIC.
they got no plans for minis? Right Myaecade is coming out with sega mini players in 2025/2026 They rather license out actual hardware to other companies and sell their games digitally Delisted those games, because they will probably add some kind of new service or bundle.
I think alot of companies have seen what Nintendo have done with a subscription service. That regular revenue is what they are after. Why sell a one off piece of software and a few years do more work and release another one off piece of software (to justify someone rebuying the same games) when you can just put it behind a paywall and leave it there. That’s what they are after, that revenue can be massive.
Companies like nintendo are a little more obvious because of their online service but I think the minis are done in part because we can hack them so easily. I'll never buy a genesis mini anyway since I have 40 of those games on my snes classic now.
With one statement he is slapping a huge swath of SEGAs fans and customers, potential customers in the face. He should have been asked what is a modern audience, 20 and younger?
They saying they’re not doing retro mini consoles anymore I wonder maybe with the success of Sonic The Hedgehog movie with hen having three movies now and a tv mini series they think it’s enough but, watch once they need that money again they’ll go and make a surprise Sega SG-1000 Mini and or a Sega Master System Mini just know there ain’t gonna be a Sega Saturn Mini or Sega Dreamcast Mini anytime soon in the next five years heck i should say 10 Years for both those but you know a lot can happen in 5 years so I wouldn’t be surprise if they secretly dropped the SG-1000 Mini and Master System Mini in another 5 years and that’s all I’m really waiting for because shoot I already have both Saturn and Dreamcast working in my gaming room so it, definitely ain’t no wish list for me in the next 5-10 years for the Saturn Mini and Dreamcast Mini sorry folks the heads of what’s currently Sega just don’t give a f**** anymore because, they knew both console systems failed and the Dreamcast honestly wasn’t really a failure in hardware because they were planning to add-On a dvd player to it later but, most people in U.S. and Japan were just really like nah I’ll wait until the year 2000 for that PS2 release which is still today the most and best selling console of all time is pretty krazy to this day! 🎮
I dunno. Sonic is actually still _shockingly_ popular, considering the decades of mediocrity since his hey day. The gap really has no business being as close as it is, but somehow Sonic is hanging in there.
@ I think the popularity of the movies have given the brand a huge bump the last few years. Before that, when it was just games, Sonic was the king of 6 out of 10 slop.
Sega usually never has it completely right lmao. Nintendo isnt go GUYS WE MAKE N E W MARIO GAMES and then delete all the NES games they had available lmao
Sega can just make 2 Yakuza or Like a Dragon games each year and do fine for another decade. But… they should do an all Sega Smash Bros game with solid online play, and should revamp the Outrun series as a proper arcade racer. They say they’re not a retro company but they’re making new Shinobi, and they always drop mini junk. Give us a mini Saturn with Knights, Sonic, the Capcom fighters, Biohazard, and the Japan only Phantasy Star remakes with translations.

I understand what he's saying but what's baffling is the fact they LITERALLY went back to what works by reviving long dead franchises
I'm an old-school Sega fanboy.... i'm USED to them making TERRIBLE decisions. This is why Sega didn't last in the console wars.
LOL China being mad over knockoff anything is both ironic and hilarious 😂
Back then SEGA lost the console battle because of bad management decisions/positions. And now the history repeats.
As someone who lived thru it I’d say they lost to pirates. Dreamcast was fire, noting was close when it dropped.
@neekzz Playstation piracy were heavier. Believe me, I'm from Brasil. SEGA never recovered from the bad decisions made on the Saturn era.
let there empire fall
Well, I guess there goes out the window our chances of getting a mini saturn or dreamcast 😢
Definitely gonna miss the mini Dreamcast. I had one and made me a Sega fan.
For SEGA to attempt to “delete” their history by taking away access to classic games, yet make new versions of old titles, is just a bad, BAD move! Come ON, SEGA! Why would you deny the greatness of SEGA’s contribution to gaming history, especially the 90s!??!
They want you to play the new versions.
@ yeah, I get that. But SEGA should not say “goodbye” to their classics.
They're a business. If people don't buy their new games and licensed products, they don't make money, and then they'll cease to exist.
Some of their old games are in Yakuza
It's called 1984 and new speak. Just saying.
Not a retro company, but releases the same genesis games how many times in the past 5 years alone? lol ok Sega.
SEGA is a retro company whether they like it or not. They’ve barely survived the last couple decades. If it weren’t for licensed old IP and minis they wouldn’t exist. I don’t see how they could do anything that would make them suddenly relevant to younger new generations of gamers.
Then why did Sega bother to have that card in the Mega Drive Mini 2 actually ASKING gamers what new retro stuff they wanted as a re-release?!
And in all likelihood anything they did make along those lines would sell out immediately. Both mini consoles sold really well, the mini 2 selling out within days on Amazon.
I don’t know why Nintendo and Sega seem to have an aversion to mini consoles. The market is there. Atari and others are doing really well out of it. And then you have the chromatic etc
It’s a massive industry and I think it will only get bigger as more and more people want to relive experiences on consoles from the 8 bit era to as recent as Xbox, N64 and PlayStation that are increasingly hard to come by. Hardware fails, the number of consoles out there in good condition diminishes every year.
We're not complete until we see Master System Mini, Saturn Mini, and Dreamcast Mini!
i literally DREAM for a Dreamcast mini 😢
wtf SEGA doing
I mean, it was already mentioned how expensive it would be to do a Saturn or a Dreamcast mini. So it really ain't a surprise they're not interested in doing it.
Sega is actually trying to move forward even if that meant delisting old games yet Capcom still heavily relies on Nostalgia.
Why nobody does a cheap retro console among official companies like Sega, with an online store of rom files?
Exactly that is all we want. Some roms maybe save states and rewind. We don’t need anything crazy. Come on Sega why can’t you do both.
Atari with their VCS are basically the only ones that did it.
Licensing for the good games probably doesn't come cheap
The Mega Drive mini should have had a working cartridge port.
Polymega, Evercade, and Switch does all of those, go buy all their games.
I remember in League of Legends there's a character called Wukong and then Dota 2 added "Monkey King" to cash in on the Chinese Market. Also I think Goku is what Wukong is called in Japanese, so there's like a lot of stuff based on this character
Goku is based on wukong. The name however does not mean wukong.
@HOLYVEXZEL When I look it up yeah it does actually. The same characters that are pronounced Wukong in Chinese are pronounced Goku in Japanese
"We are not a retro company"

I guess I have to keep playing my sega dreamcast games on my s24 ultra with phone controller at 4k Resolution 😢
It's so sad...
They're a business. If people don't buy their new games and licensed products, they don't make money, and then they'll cease to exist.
I want an sms mini. Somthing magical about that system to me.
Good example of the left hand not talking with the right. Good point!
If you didn’t see this coming when they delisted games they made with original soundtracks then you’re delusional
Sega put out the same damn games already ported to everything (Switch, PS) multiple times. When it couldn't get any worse, they left out the only reason it's worth buying (Lunar, Popful Mail) in U.S. market. I gave up on Sega years ago.
I always hoped for a Sega Saturn mini.guess I'll buy a regular Saturn,then alter it to play their entire library of games for free.
Well that sucks. There go my hopes and dreams of a SMS mini.
when White Fact LongWu hits $1.99 on the eshop I will give it a go
black man: wutang def comedy jam
The real sega fan boy wants a new console new games
Where's china's internet rage when they copy literally every popular thing from around the world...lol
do you think the team that is responsible for the eshop are proud of their platform? or do they come to work everyday and be like" eh, it's a living"
China mad at a clone?😂 Why? At least they are able to learn something like maybe Quality over quantity "
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Really sega ? How hard is it to make a shell of a Saturn and dreamcast and dump some roms on it ? It’s pretty much like printing money
We do need a Saturn and Dreamcast mini though
So it also based on those statements that Sega wont be coming to Evercade anytime soon
Sega: we hate money
Yes let’s do the same thing we did in the 90s and come out with a console in a saturated market and doom the brand again.
Fine. Modded Dreamcast with SD card it is for my next console. If Sega wont give me a DC mini then I'll make my own.
Its sad like nintendo i grew up with sega considering i never owned any sega consoles😢
I better get that game b4 it gets delisted...😂
Really wish they didn't use the mythical "modern gamer/audience" lingo
As if to say that newer players wouldn't play an established ip, i mean does sega think they are dumb or something?
I am a fn of their mini consoles, but I think they are right. After buying a Miyoo Mini Plus myself, I sold all my minis that I had not touched for ages, and now I am playing retro games more than ever. So, I think they are making the right choice, given most of us own such devices. I think that since these Chinese handhelds got popular and more accessible, there is less appetite every where for these minis.
Those minis are official products, and for a lot of people are shelf decoration but that is also functional too with a decent selection of games (and emulated by M2 I believe).
So I think they are quality and worth it for many people, but not everyone. I bought them and I’ll be keeping them. I no longer have the original hardware and it’s the next best thing in many ways.
I've bought a few emulators that broke quickly.. Though my Mini Mini plus is solid after two years. It's beats the Sega classic. It beats plenty of things.
I dont know why but i got a feeling that sega might make another console, which i hope happens
They want to take all old stuff away and just make it digital so we can loose the future for goid so theumy can make bank on everything. It sucks.
SEGA does what Nintendon't
Please do a video playing that Wukong knock off
I mean that's fair on Sega's part. They were kind of pigeonholing themselves as such a company. Though they still have Atlas and Sammy???? I don't know what Sammy brings to the table... I know what Atlus does, and that's apparently STRICTLY PERSONA (TECHNICALLY SHIN MEGAMI). Oh and now Catherine. Other than that Sega seems to really be JUST SONIC.
they got no plans for minis?
Right
Myaecade is coming out with sega mini players in 2025/2026
They rather license out actual hardware to other companies and sell their games digitally
Delisted those games, because they will probably add some kind of new service or bundle.
Dreamcast 2 It’s Still Thinking 2.5.25
might be a good idea to buy it, china will probably get it kicked off the store for infringement. it'll be a collectable, albeit digital.
What harm is it to sell old games on Steam for 5-10 bucks? How can you not move forward with that? Yet youre still making Sonic the Hedgehog movies.
I think alot of companies have seen what Nintendo have done with a subscription service. That regular revenue is what they are after. Why sell a one off piece of software and a few years do more work and release another one off piece of software (to justify someone rebuying the same games) when you can just put it behind a paywall and leave it there. That’s what they are after, that revenue can be massive.
Please give us Master System mini, Saturn mini and Dreamcast mini.
Wukong was allready on sega or some
Sega is now coming to Myarcade, not sure what that means
FOMO is real.
Companies like nintendo are a little more obvious because of their online service but I think the minis are done in part because we can hack them so easily. I'll never buy a genesis mini anyway since I have 40 of those games on my snes classic now.
I got my emulator screw their minis , mine is hacked an collecting dust
Thanks.
"Modern audiences" Dam...
With one statement he is slapping a huge swath of SEGAs fans and customers, potential customers in the face. He should have been asked what is a modern audience, 20 and younger?
Sega: GOODBYE!🎉
They saying they’re not doing retro mini consoles anymore I wonder maybe with the success of Sonic The Hedgehog movie with hen having three movies now and a tv mini series they think it’s enough but, watch once they need that money again they’ll go and make a surprise Sega SG-1000 Mini and or a Sega Master System Mini just know there ain’t gonna be a Sega Saturn Mini or Sega Dreamcast Mini anytime soon in the next five years heck i should say 10 Years for both those but you know a lot can happen in 5 years so I wouldn’t be surprise if they secretly dropped the SG-1000 Mini and Master System Mini in another 5 years and that’s all I’m really waiting for because shoot I already have both Saturn and Dreamcast working in my gaming room so it, definitely ain’t no wish list for me in the next 5-10 years for the Saturn Mini and Dreamcast Mini sorry folks the heads of what’s currently Sega just don’t give a f**** anymore because, they knew both console systems failed and the Dreamcast honestly wasn’t really a failure in hardware because they were planning to add-On a dvd player to it later but, most people in U.S. and Japan were just really like nah I’ll wait until the year 2000 for that PS2 release which is still today the most and best selling console of all time is pretty krazy to this day! 🎮
Sega is delusional. They still think Sonic is as big as Mario.
I dunno. Sonic is actually still _shockingly_ popular, considering the decades of mediocrity since his hey day.
The gap really has no business being as close as it is, but somehow Sonic is hanging in there.
@ I think the popularity of the movies have given the brand a huge bump the last few years. Before that, when it was just games, Sonic was the king of 6 out of 10 slop.
I’ll take a new golden axe.
Sega usually never has it completely right lmao. Nintendo isnt go GUYS WE MAKE N E W MARIO GAMES and then delete all the NES games they had available lmao
Sega can just make 2 Yakuza or Like a Dragon games each year and do fine for another decade.
But… they should do an all Sega Smash Bros game with solid online play, and should revamp the Outrun series as a proper arcade racer.
They say they’re not a retro company but they’re making new Shinobi, and they always drop mini junk. Give us a mini Saturn with Knights, Sonic, the Capcom fighters, Biohazard, and the Japan only Phantasy Star remakes with translations.
Sega sucks. The company has sucked for a very long time now. I have no trust or faith in them.
The Chinese…hahha. Ridiculous
