In a 2020 interview with Famitsu (translated by silicone), Okunari discussed Game Gear Micro, noting that “for the next phase, we may opt for a concept close to the Mega Drive Mini,” before listing the SG-1000 and Dreamcast as possible legacy mini consoles. Given that the Dreamcast is more recognizable around the world, this appears to be the more likely of the two options.
The Dreamcast was released in 1999, and only lasted two years on the market before Sega pulled the plug. The Dreamcast is the company’s definitive console release, and while it has had little commercial success, it has found a craving following among retro fans. The system boasts an impressive library, including games like sonic adventureAnd the Arcadia skyAnd the ShenmueAnd the crazy taxiAnd the Jet Set Radio. The Sega Genesis Mini included 42 games built in, and the Dreamcast Mini would have no problem offering a similar number of favorites.
With an announcement only a few days left, fans won’t have to wait long to see what’s in store for Sega! We hope this new project will prove to be an exciting one for fans of the company, no matter what is revealed.
