What would an 8th gen SEGA console look like?

what would an 8th gen SEGA console look like?

prolly tylo be chillin

Like a fucking app for the iphone.

I thought the power base converter didn't work through a 32X

I like to imagine that instead of releasing .5 console releases or anything, you just plug the old console into the new one. Keep all your save data and your downloaded games since they're still on the old machine. Sega can produce cheaper consoles with technically less specs to them but since you keep combining them together they end up being the strongest machine if you have enough machines plugged together.

Hell, you can even buy a Sega handheld and plug that into the fucking thing. Why not? Eventually you can plug enough shit together until it takes the form of a man, and then Sega would of finally made something cooler than ROB.

Either that or it's a cute anime girl in a purple hoodie.

The gamegear and nomad were really ahead of their time. Imagine what would have happened if Sega had released a new handheld instead of the dreamcast.

The problem with both of them is that they took 6 AA batteries and got 1 to 3 hours of life out of them.

...

If 90s Sega were still around they might be retarded enough to actually try what you just suggested.

I think 90's Sega already did try that but they failed before they got to the last part.

I actually really wanted a 32x and a later a Saturn when I was a kid but my parents got me an N64 instead. Dodged a bullet there.

It would probably look like a waffle iron.

It would probably look like a black settop box. Maybe even look like the Xbox. The design people moved to Microsoft after Dreamcast so if they stayed employeed with Sega, they would have come up with similar ideas.

Yes but it's because the gamegear is 26 freaking years old. Now we have lithium battery and led backlight.

>The design people moved to Microsoft after Dreamcast

prove it.

Like the last actual console around.

matte white handheld with a similar feel to the new 3ds (not glossyshit XL) with comfort bumps on the back kinda like the original PSP did but wider at the bottom to form kinda "handles"
Probably ~6" 1280x720 display
Cartridges would be similar to compact flash but the contacts would be gba style instead of fragile pins.
It would run games in kernel mode like older consoles (PSP, original DS, Wii, 360) instead of an OS always running underneath the game like Windows, 3ds, Vita, Wii U, Xbox One. They would do this because they know that it's a device meant for fucking VIDEO GAMES and not a shitty "portable media device" smart phone wannabe.
Thoughts?

...

it would also be x86 to give compatibility for Windows/PC games because x86 CPUs are super cheap, small and run cool as shit and use low power now thanks to the smartphone boom. This would attract EXTREME amounts of 3rd parties, due to the ease of developing for PC, similar to how the Xbox got its success.

It will be like the Neptune console in Neptunia. It's X shaped and it runs four discs at once for one game. Think about it. You can only fit so much shit onto one disc right? So what if you had a disc that was 100% sound and 100% graphics and so on, instead of having to compromise when shoving everything onto one disc.

It will be stupidly expensive, retarded sounding and way too advanced for its time to actually work properly. It's perfect. It's Sega.

One of the launch titles is PSO2, but the west still doesn't get the game.

There too much consoles and now that Vita's dead there is place for Sega to make a badass handheld with exclusive games and all the good shit. Make it happen.

The only hardware guys left at Sega are PC builders. Their arcade machines are just off the shelf PC hardware running on Windows. New Sega console never.

Probably a clone of whatever Sony and Microsoft are releasing. Sega was always going along with industry standards, so it stands to reason they would follow suit in the 8th gen.

I thought Sega's deal was try to be too advanced for its time and make something that's stupidly expensive and doesn't work well.

I bet if Sega still made consoles, they'd be making a VR console right fucking now. And they'd Kickstarter it too, like for Shenmue 3

so if I understand correctly:
Genesis could natively play Master System games, but it just couldn't accept the cartridges?

He's wrong but the design team's motto was essentially to pick up where Sega left off. Online play, similar controller, recently concepts of a VMU inside the OG Xbox controller were revealed.

So basically Sega would have something like the Xbone but with actual creative games, instead of a few interesting titles and a wave of shooter/action shit.

correct. there are third party converters that have a pause button and nothing else inside, all the work is done by the console

the [japanese] master system itself was also backwards compatible with an even older console, the sg-1000

I'm mad that the PS4 isn't backwards compatible with the PS3, and that isn't even backwards compatible with the PS2.

It was on launch; had to slash the $600 price tag somehow.

Anyways, the feasibility of backwards compatibility depends on the nature of the current and previous hardware. It becomes more difficult to do every gen because of increasing complexity in architecture. The PS3 is a clusterfuck and emulating it would be a serious effort, but because of how simple the PS4 is, Sony should easily make the PS5 backwards compatible with PS4.

>none of you faggots will ever know the joy of taking your fucking SEGA GENESIS and all your favorite games on your shitty family vacation

Best vacation ever was playing Comix Zone, Flashback and Shining Force 2 on that thing. I don't even remember where we went.

>Not having the latest Sega Console

That thing is dope bruh. When does Zelda come out?

A thing of beauty.

It stopped getting releases after Pokemon Best Wishes and Precure.

It's a shame too since the PS3's architecture was fucking insane, but could pull off some serious shit if programmed properly. Same situation with the Sega Saturn, actually. Both had awkward, hard to program designs, but when used by someone who knew how to work it, they did things that blew everyone else out of the water.
