I have the same issue with this one as I do with the Nintendo one. It is missing some key games from that era.

What a sh*tshow

No thanks.

I don't know, I think it has all the iconic first party games

They literally already did this for cheaper before. Plus the ability to play original game carts.

This is just a Nintendo hype cash in.

Your words speak truth.

Yep and those systems sat until everyone put them on super sale.

The only way I would buy either one of the systems is if they had enough games so that I could sell all my cartridges.

I got a Genesis plug n' play for $5 at Walmart. Not bad for cheap.

I have one of the older AT Games Genesis plug n' plays, and the sound emulation and wireless controllers have their problems. Not worth $50 or anything like that, but it's about 30 good games for your TV if you don't have any other means to play them. Better options are Steam Genesis Classics Packs, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on Xbox 360, and the original hardware, of course.

I also picked up an AT Games Firecore handheld a while back at a yard sale. Has similar problems as their console version but having a usb-powered handheld with a flash memory card slot is much more convenient.... makes me kinda want to get an official Sega Nomad one day.

I guess it's nice that the newest AT Games console includes tje Mortal Kombat roms as a bonus.

Yeah. An NES with an HDMI port (albeit one with only thirty included games and no cartridge support) sounds rather nice.

This? Not so much. Who doesn't already own an X-Box 360 or PS3? Why not just pick up Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, which features all the greats (and none of the shovelware) and plays in beautiful HD, for $5 from a bargain bin?

That's what I did.

"Sega Genesis Classic Edition" like that NES thing before it... AKA "sh*t for nostalgics or hipsters unable or unwilling to just download the free ROMs and get a comparable gamepad for their PC."

i.e., people living in a cave for, I dunno, the last 18 years.

Well these type of Clone consoles have been around for a long time. Including the AT Games Genesis ones. I dont really think they purposely did another one over the NES Classic being announced. Just gave them a reason to release more.

I have a portable one. Doesn't have the game slot but the roms play nicely.

I really wish the NES one came with a slot. That would just be perfect. As well if Sega made an official Genesis with a slot. I would definitely get both.

It's not a cash in because they release like 6 of these a year. "Journalists" are just playing it up to be Sega's answer to the NES mini. It's not. It's the same damn thing they keep releasing.

They did release one with a slot about a year ago.

funny how Nintendo can make there's look like the NES, i don't even know wtf Sega is trying here! at least make it look like the Genesis

It looks like the Genesis Model 2.

Please re-read the topic. Sega didn't make these.

Who Sega? Ive only ever seen the AT machines and the other clone consoles like RetroGen.

ATGames has released one or two with cartridge slots.

Ya. I don't know what the other person was talking about. My previous post was about the AT Games machines.

I said it would be perfect if both Nintendo and Sega made official consoles with slots. As in first-party by them. Not AT or any clone. They must have confused what I meant.

I know there's some other reproduction Genesis that uses actual hardware that was released back in the day but Sega got it banned at the time.

I still have my Sega Genesis it would just be awesome if both companies released, well basically official slim versions with updated video and slots is what I was saying.

Problem is, then it wouldn't come with HDMI compatibility, which is the big selling point -- for me, and for a lot of other people, too. Emulating the games, which this thing does, is one thing.

But upscaling old cartridge games, on to fly, to HD -- that's something else entirely. And if they're not going to be in HD, then why not just buy an old Nintendo?

If you want upscaled games you could get the Retron 5. The controller sucks but otherwise it's fine.

lol how u figure

oh my mistake

How does the NES mini upscale the games? What does it actually do? They're just pixels. Genuinely curious.

I’m not sure if they have published the technical specs at this point, but I would guess it will uses some kind of algorithmic scaler to blow up the image frame by frame, rather than remastering the games themselves. When you play an NES game on an HD TV, the images is scaled up about 750% and that will potentially look like ass if it’s not done in a controlled way. You can buy external hardware to upscale your NES, or buy a console like the Retron5 which has this type of scaling built in, but they’re not cheap.

Another advantage that the Classic should have over an OG NES is that there should be less noticeable input lag on your flat panel TV.

And if they desperately need to play on a TV, the Wii has great emulator capabilities as well.
