One of the biggest announcements from The Game Awards this past week was SEGA’s reveal of multiple IP revivals. Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Streets of Rage were all confirmed to…
Nintendo is the only one with a reason to keep making consoles. Xbox and PS5 are essentially PCs in a fancy box (although PS5 has a really fancy sound card)
Exactly, it’s a portable you can dock to a TV. The PS5 is a fancy alternative-hardware pc. The Xbox is literally a PC. I suppose you could make an argument for price, but hardware wise they’re not really all that special these days.
I would love an arcade cabinet with most of their games remastered on it. So once they get through a few of these launches, release something like a Steam Machine arcade cabinet for $500-1000 with a huge library of games. I think it would sell well, and it would be fantastic marketing.

Does this mean we’ll get some new Sega consoles at home…?? Or is that asking too much? Would love to see a fourth competitor in the ring besides PCs.
A steam deck competitor or something like Atari’s recent console is more likely than a PlayStation or Xbox competitor.
Nah releasing a console is crazy accounts of work and money. They switched to software-only for a reason.
I’m not holding out for it but I won’t lie that I’m dreaming of the rare chance of it becoming a reality.
It has been nice having Sega games on so many different consoles, though.
I think the next best thing we could get would be Sega releasing a Dreamcast Mini, which apparently they thought about, but scrapped.

Isn’t the Switch essentially a tablet with controllers attached?

This is why Steam Deck is such a game changer.
Yes
I miss my Dreamcast 😭
Did you sell it?
If I had one I’d be using it as it doesn’t have any kind of DRM AFAIK.
Dreamcast did have copy protection but its easily circumvented. Like even at the time it was fairly easy
If it had DRM it was not very good, that’s for sure! I still own it, but it’s in storage about 1700 miles away.
Honestly maybe my #1 console. So much joy.
