"So what does Blast Processing DO?!"

Gives the Mega Drive ETERNAL LIFE.. in 2007.. in mutilated form! But wow, Sonic the Hedgehog sure runs pretty fast! Brazilian company Tectoy is planning on releasing a portable Mega Drive next month, no not the Nomad!



BEHOLD.

Apparently it has a "high definition" screen, will run off three AAA batteries, and you'll also be able to hook it up to your TV. But bupbooooow, no option to play your actual Mega Drive cartridges, making it the ultimate Mega Drive system. Instead it'll come with twenty games built-in.

- Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
- Alien Storm
- Altered Beast
- Arrow Flash
- Columns III
- Crack Down
- Decap Attack
- Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
- Ecco the Dolphin
- Ecco Jr.
- E-SWAT
- Flicky
- Gain Ground
- Golden Axe
- Jewel Master
- Kid Chameleon
- Ristar
- Sonic and Knuckles
- Shadow Dancer
- The Revenge of Shinobi

All for the low, low price of roughly $110 US. I'm sure someone will eventually hack this thing to pieces and whack a cartridge slot on it to impress the ladies. Tectoy FASCINATES me! In the late-90's they came up with the Master System Compact, and even released a girls version! PINK. EVERY GIRL MUST BUY!



They've made loooots of Brazil-exclusive Master System and Mega Drive games. Most of them are raped takes on popular games for other systems. Including a Master System version of Street Fighter 2 (looks amazing, plays like the fighters are in a room loaded with pig shit), Earthworm Jim, Mortal Kombat 3, blah blah blah. Mega Drive? Mega Drive got DUKE NUKEM 3D.



Why it isn't on this portable Mega Drive, I'll never know! Nothing can stop Tectoy's fight for keeping the 'next-gen' threat of the Saturn, PlayStation (Sony entering the console business?) and Nintendo 64 away. But that's okay, I guess they'll be making Sega Saturn games in about five years time. GOOD LUCK!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Master System Super Compact has got to be the single most uncomfortable looking button layouts I've ever seen

Look at that angle, the shape, the layout, the WAY THE BUTANS ARE SO FREAKING CLOSE TO THE CORNER ;___;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sure, some sacrifies to the general use of your hands for the rest of your life have to be made, but it's worth it for a Master System small enough to snuggly fit in your pocket once you've ripped it to shreds trying to force the Master System in there!

"I've got a Game Boy!"
"I've got a Game Gear"
"Well I've got a Master System Super Compact!"
"WOW! Can I have a go?!"
"Sure, we just need to swing by the corner store and buy a few packets of batteries and a television set"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

For $110 asking price I don't see why they didn't just re-tool a Nomad with a slimmer case and better screen. I mean, the technology's already there, I'm sure they could do it. But I can't say anything bad about re-releasing Kid Chameleon; that just sells it right there. Well, not really... but Sonic & Knuckles AND Ecco AND Ristar is a good package any way you slice it.

All the games are first-party, too. Looks like Sega was the only company willing to go in on this. I just hope these games are ported better than some of their earlier attempts. They *did* manage to package only games that make use of a 3-button controller setup, though, so the effort is there at least.

I think they tried something this already...it was called Game Gear....and yeah, it was terrible...

I was speaking idiomatically.

No SEGA logo?! I smell a lawsuit in the making... also Infernal...



I lost the source it was on some crappy blog, but from what I remember the guy said for some reason they went to all this effort but haven't got it working yet

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Thunder Force 4's power cannot be contained in such a small box.

Doesn't matter. They phail for lack of Shining Force and Phantasy Star. And where the fuck is Streets of Rage?

I already have a super-compact Genesis/Megadrive. It's called the GP2X with Dr.MD and a half-gig SD card loaded up with ROMs.

They do, however, win back points for having the most awesome platformer ever invented: DecapAttack. That game had EVERYTHING.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It is not my custom to go where I am not invited.

Ok. I'll be honest, Ristar and Kid Chameleon make this pretty enticing.

However, for a little more, I can purchase a PSP, mod it and play both Kid Chameleon and Ristar with much better button configuration. I'd also have Shining Force 1 & II, Comix Zone, Vectorman 1 & 2, Toe Jam & Earl 1 & 2: Panic on Funkotron, Gunstar Heroes, M.U.S.H.A., Landstalker and Castlevania: Bloodlines.

So, ummm...fuck you, Brazil.

Also, your D-pad looks flimsy as all hell.

PSP also has



Which sets you back like $15 these days. But does PSP run off the raw power of three AAA batteries?! No! Tectoy wins!
