Even after all these years, the Sega Genesis is a type of console that is hard to forget. The games, the memories, and the Nostalgia that fans had with Sega Genesis are incomparable. Especially the 16-Bit graphics and chiptune used to grab the attention. Gradually, both graphics and sound got better with the advancement in technology, turning the course of gaming history. 

In a similar manner, the developers of the retro era can’t forget about their fans. Thus we get to hear a lot from companies like Sega, coming up with more retro-style games and re-releases. And that’s what happened recently!

Additionally, with more power, over 50 classics, some Sega CD titles, and an unreleased bonus game are also included!

After that, the fans just lost it on Twitter and started retweeting the post, showing love and support for their beloved console.

These tweets also included some hilarious reactions.

The Blast is Real!!

After the official confirmation, fans totally went crazy on the internet and started speculating on several theories about it. Some of these theories were about games like Snatcher, Dragon’s Lair, and Space Ace, where fans thought that these games might return. While these were some expectations, some demanded a Saturn mini as well as a Dreamcast 2.

Another topic of discussion is whether the company is planning on bringing back ‘Blast Processing‘. A notorious piece of technology that was used as promotion for the original Sega Genesis against Nintendo‘s SNES in North America.

Nintendo discarded the technology at the time as a cheap marketing gimmick. But after 34 years, Sega may prove Nintendo wrong—and this time for good. If it does, the gaming industry may see a retro revolution.

There is no official estimate of how many of these consoles will be transported to the United States, which is unfortunate given that they are actually made in Japan.
