I can't stand the waterfall sound effects. They sound like TV static.

If that's true for the upcoming iteration, then ATGames should invest some skills points into building a quality Mega Drive machine, as they are currently underleveled and underequipped.

they need to grind more

i never had any of the atgames consoles
i had the ultimate collection on the ps3 whose emulation was excellent
and all games supported save states

and i also have the steam versions ( bundle stars is selling a pick your own games bundle for these right now )
I'll wait and see. Maybe there will be a good news.

Did the old console provide some sort of a save state?

the original rpgs ( shining and phantasy star ) series had battery back ups
sonic 3 also had battery back up
but other then that no save states

but those 5 games each easily can take up to 60 hours if not more to beat
you really want to do that with out the ability to save ?

snowkatt: Sega launches a mini mega drive with 80 games
*snip*
Quite old news ;)
Saw this console for sale in the local Gamestop almost 2 years ago, IIRC.

It's also for sale together with other mini retro consoles here:

almabrds: The biggest problem here is not Sega copying Nintendo's idea, rivalry is good.
It's not a Nintendo idea. These ATGames SoCs have been on the market for years.

So it's just a coincidence both companies are making mini consoles?
I don't think so.

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/begun-the-clone-wars-have-sega-fires-back-at-classic-mini-nes-with-a-mini-genesis

sadly its one of those at games mongrels being shat out for a quick buck
and "only" 40 of the games are actual megadrive classics
the rest is shovel ware
and apparently they dont even support save games

...hmm

whats the word here ?
oh yeah cash grab !

Introducing the new ATARI 2600.2!

Hooks directly into your HDTV and offers 40 Atari classics: Pitfall, and 39 different versions of E.T.

On sale this September!

Again, SEGA has been licensing these ATGames consoles for years.

Actually, this very version has been released available since: http://segaretro.org/Arcade_Classic

This is just news because some ignorant journalists interpreted this as a response to Nintendo.

We need to remember not to let snowkatt watch "Empire Strikes Back" anymore. This is getting kind of annoying.

I guess it's better than what she is like after watching "Pulp Fiction".
