Recently, Sega announced a mini-Megadrive. It's a commemoration of the console's 30th anniversary and contains 85 games built in.
Well here we are again: yet another iteration of Sega's greatest achievement. I won't deny that the Megadrive/Genesis was a major game-changer (so to speak) in the early nineties but do we really need to be informed of it over and over again?
Furthermore, yet another iteration of the Megadrive's success highlights, for me, the apathy and downright hostility towards the Mega CD and the Saturn. Okay, so maybe unsuccessful consoles may not sit well with their creators (Virtual Boy anyone?), but both consoles had some diamonds in the rough and it be a shame for them to be forgotten and left by the wayside as history continues to march unabated. Perhaps moreso considering Sega's 'scorched earth' approach to the (now non-existent) preservation of the Saturn.
If the success of Online Distribution had proved anything, people will gladly pay to play something legally. And I know for a fact that I will pay to play some decent Saturn games in a legal format.
I mean, there were other decent games that weren't Nights
Lets be honest here Sega: Do you really want the pirates to win?
