Reports have been circulating recently about “Sega” selling a miniature version of its hit classic console, the “Mega Drive.” Unfortunately, it turns out that this is not the case. A unit resembling the console does exist, but it’s actually an emulator box being sold by a Chinese company named AtGames.
When Nintendo announced that they would be releasing miniature versions of their classic console, the “NES,” the internet went wild. Even the fact that there was no way to add new games and that players will need to settle for the 30 titles that are already in the console didn’t do much to deter the enthusiasm that the news brought to life.
Along with the renewed joy that came with nostalgia for the “NES,” fans also started hoping that other classic console makers would produce their own mini versions of hit classics. So when online media outlets started reporting that “Sega” had delivered on this wish by releasing a mini “Mega Drive,” many were overjoyed.
Kotaku was quick to pop the bubble, though, by pointing out that the “Mega Drive” that everyone was going crazy about was not an official product by “Sega.” In fact, it wasn’t even a proper console, but a clumsy attempt at covering an emulator in a shell resembling the classic product.
Chinese company AtGames is responsible for the hubbub with their product that has the “Sega” logo and the “Mega Drive” brand, but is not an actual “Sega Mega Drive.” Supposedly, the company has been producing and selling their cheap imitation since as far back as 2012 and was only now getting attention in the U.S.
For those who are wondering, the company does have licensing permission from “Sega” to sell the console, but the quality of the unit leaves a lot to be desired, Geek notes. So now, the only question is whether or not fans of the old console are willing to pay for the recreation. Players can choose from 80 titles that are included in the product and they can also use a classic cartridge, which the “Mini NES” does not allow.
