Sega goes back to making consoles

No leaks, no rumors, no teasers, no frustrated execs. Apart from revamping the Mega Drive in 2009, it seems that Sega has successfully kept itself under the radar about their plans of going back to manufacturing consoles – that is, until now.

No leaks, no rumors, no teasers, no frustrated execs. Apart from revamping the Mega Drive in 2009, it seems that Sega has successfully kept itself under the radar about their plans of going back to manufacturing consoles – that is, until now. Electronics news blog Pocket-Lint has the goods on what appears to be the new Sega console.

It’s called the Sega Zone, and it will launch along with 20 classic Sega titles, plus 30 more for added kicks – all from the publisher. 16 of those will be motion-controlled. For that, the package comes with two black Wiimote-like controllers with pretty much the same function.

While it’s a console in the strictest sense, it doesn’t appear to be a legit entry into the 7th gen war, even with its blatant Wii-ness. The Sega Zone is to launch this summer, priced at about £50, or almost US$ 80.
