What's Sega up to?
they are sending out casette tapes to random people, with oldschool Sega music on them, giving them a hashtag with Segaforever on it.
Apparently they are going to do something with retro gaming on mobile.

>mobile
doubtful.
I imagine they are giving the taxman mobile port treatment to a bunch of retro games of theirs
>>380696056
sega could afford a modest handheld for classics and some new stuff, hardware is inespesive now, but they are lazy and retarded
I JUST NEED ANOTHER JET SET
RADIOOOOOOOOOOO

Probably an official emulator where you can buy ROMs.
I was disappointed it wasn't Commodore ports of their games. Would any of the cassette-based PCs have been capable of running any megadrive games?
They're going to release an app that acts like a hub for different emulators and they'll be releasing a Sega branded game controller intended for use with smartphones to coincide with it.
If you buy the controller you get a few of the games available to purchase with it.
Master System collection.

Has anybody tried to load a game from the casettes?
>>380698315
Man that idea is just the worst. I really hope they aren't doing that
NEW COMIX ZONE PLEASE
>>380696056
>wanting more consoles
KYS, retard.
>>380695654
Probably just a Master System mini
>>380698315
This is 100% accurate, I guess you're in Project Blue too? When did you join up?
>>380695654
I'd be down for a master system collection
According to this video it's just a subscription service with cloud saving and a cheap-o mode with adverts for poor people. Pretty clever to be honest, they're making an advert delivery service just by dumping old ROMs on peoples phones which is sure to bring in a continuous revenue stream for years and years.

In the early days they ported a bunch of their old games like Golden Axe and Sonic 1 to mobile as roms in a shitty emulator. They took them down because they sucked but revived the Sonic ports when they hired Taxman who made them the best versions of the games with new features like Tails & Knuckles in Sonic 1 and an official Hidden Palace Zone. They also ported Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio to mobile but took them down due to them not wanting to update them, but have since brought back Crazy Taxi.
So yeah, I'll totally believe they're gonna start porting more old games over now that they have someone who can do it competently.

Those faggots removed the mobile version from the store because they didn't want to update it for later firmware. Crazy Taxi suffered the same fate but eventually came back, JSR didn't. Shit's dead.

FUCK YEAH
Though DESU I was already playing Panzer Dragoon on my phone cuz we got a working Saturn emulator but still, official version would be rad.

By itself it's not very exciting, but it feels like a tool they can use to gauge interest in certain series, in order to produce new games and sequels.

Why would you want that? There's no way a new company could make a new console and succeed at this time. They had the chance 20 years ago to compete and the field was open for new competitors, but not anymore.
More players are driven away from consoles and choosing PC or mobile gaming.
