Sega had an influential role in the gaming industry, becoming a major player in the home console market with its iconic Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast systems. Later, the company stopped making consoles and focused solely on games. However, in 2019, Sega released a revival of its Sega Genesis console, launching a mini version with 42 pre-installed games, including popular titles like Sonic the Hedgehog. This was followed by the launch of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 in 2022. Since then, players have longed for a mini version of other popular Sega consoles like the Saturn or the Dreamcast, but the studio has bad news for them.
