    Uh…there was an article that had a Sega executive stating that manufacturing more microconsoles would be expensive.

      Yeah. I’ve seen that, too. It’s a shame.

      I suspect that “expensive” here means “not as wildly profitable as we’re used to”, and that they’ll get around to it when they run out of other ideas.

      There’s a few companies out there now successfully selling hard to emulate stuff. I dream that Sega can make a deal with one of them to make a DreamCast and a Saturn Mini console happen.

      Or feven a nice Steam bundle would be okay with me. I’m not going to plop down $7 per game when I don’t know anything about their catalog, but I’m down for a big $40-$60 curated collection.
