The console, called the Sega Zone, will come with 20 classic Sega titles, like Alex Kid, Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and Ecco the dolphin as well as a further 30 games, 16 of which are motion controlled.

Users will be able to control the action via two included wireless remote controls and when not playing Sega titles be able to play the usual array of sports classics like table tennis, darts, fencing, beach volleyball, and golf by waving the controller in front of the screen as they do with the Nintendo console.

A plug-n-play alternative to Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection would've been cooler, but 20 games is still quite a bit. Seems cool, I might buy it if it's cheap enough. Uh, that is, if it comes out in the US? Any idea what regions this thing is planned for? Pocket-Lint mentions the UK, but that was all I could find.

Those extra 30 games sound like they'll be terrible, though, I doubt they'll play as well as their Nintendo-programmed counterparts. But hey, surprise me, Sega.

Finally! Competition for the Wii!! ;)

This isn't a big deal, just a plug & play deal we see all the time. Sega's probably better off releasing stuff on VC than doing this.

I'm pretty sure I have every single decent Genesis/Mega Drive game on Sega Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection (Xbox 360).

Still, motion controls and stuff. Could be interesting if the price is right.

I would love to see SEGA back in the console's race. They honestly beat Nintendo, Xbox, and the Playstation Trio. It would be really cool if SEGA started back up once again. I mean they've almost been out a decade. :|

Haha n00b I know where Batman lives!

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

For sega to jump back into the console race would be awesome, though I think the whole wii copy-cat thing is silly. Its not a great system, its alright and a novelty but I would still like to see the other brands come up with some other ideas before one becomes a standard that all the brands follow... Though perhaps the Playstation wand, and now this sega version might have better motion detection or something to fix up the problems with the wii-mote.

Playstation is developing a wii-copycat controller called the play station wand, and Project Natal is supposed to be being released late this year, so I think both are going to be some good competition for the wii before the Sega console even gets around to be released anywhere outside japan.

Bear in mind that this Sega console will feature no new games and will not allow you to play new games in it. It's purely there for the retro crowd.

I didn't mean it like that.
They had the potential to beat them. At the time they had the best system. It was just ahead of its time, which caused it to back out.
I meant SEGA in most cases outdid the other systems (I think, and not in every single category)..

Yes, and PS3 is falling into the 'too soon' category now as well.

Interesting.

Does this mean there's still hope that Philips might make a new system? :D

Sega failed miserably because they had too many different, incompatible consoles out at the same time, trying to compete. They had seven consoles out at the same time at one point according to the textbook I just pulled out of my shelf: Saturn, Genesis, Game Gear, Pico, Sega CD, 32X, and 32X CD!
