It looks like Sega is taking a page out of Neo Geo’s book, announcing its own portable console pre-loaded with some of its fan favorites.
Featuring over 80 games in all, the console is a great gadget for fans of throwbacks. Beyond Sega heavies like Sonic the Hedgehog and Altered Beast, the device also includes the elusive Mega Man: the Wiley Wars, an updated (not to current standards mind you) collection of the first three Mega Man titles that was only released in Japan and Europe. At the time, the only way American gamers could get their hands on the game was through the Sega Channel, one of the earliest attempts at online gaming.
Most of the titles featured on the device are already available on various collections for all the mainstay consoles from the PlayStation 3 to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, so any hesitancy to purchase this is understandable, especially to younger audiences. But for the gamer on the go looking to avoid the legal grey area of ROMS, the “Ultimate Portable Player” makes playing Genesis classics a lot easier on the bus or train then pecking away at keys on a laptop. And it should promise a significantly improved battery life than the last Genesis handheld, the behemoth Nomad. Chalk up not having to lug around the cartridges, and the player is a significant improvement.
