SEGA announced on its official Twitter account that the Mega Drive Mini (provisional name), announced during SEGA Fes 2018, has been delayed to 2019.
According to the company, although the release was planned for 2018, the response to its announcement was particularly strong outside Japan, and as a result it plans to release a Genesis model for North America and a Mega Drive model for Europe, with plans for a simultaneous worldwide release.
In addition, for SEGA to reach the level of quality its fans expect, it established a system to rethink the device's design with the participation of the console's original team, and it will also cooperate with Japanese developers with a proven track record in software development.
Therefore, we know that, although they did not say so in these words, the new device will no longer be produced by AtGames, known for making licensed Mega Drive clones whose emulation has always fallen short of expectations and been heavily criticized by fans. This will certainly please fans who were concerned about the quality of the device and makes the delay worthwhile.
