A new games console that will emulate the Wii as well as allowing you to play classic Sega games is being launched in the summer.
Selling for around 80$US ... any takers?
Can't see myself picking that up, frankly, no more ugly hardware next to the TV to play just a handful of games (let alone yet more controllers). Also, "emulate the Wii"? What's up with that, surely Nintendo wouldn't have any of that?

It looks like a slightly fancier version of those "10 Atari 2600 games built into one joystick" things you can get at Target, plug into your TV, and play the old games. Honestly, this thing looks so cheesy I'm embarrassed to once have been a Sega fanboy. Looks like a giant, stinking load of crap.

Came in excited.
Left disappointed.

Yup, it's a $40 Zone 40 Wii-knock-off console, licensed by Sega to include a couple dozen built-in Genesis games at double the price. This isn't a new Sega console.

So this whole "emulate the wii" statement is in regards to them licensing the wii emulation software?...or is it just emulating the wii as in "it's like the wii!" ?

I suspect this is more for markets like Brazil than the US.
This is just f*cking sad.

Someone posted a thread about that thing a while back. It's nothing to write home about.
You can just use your real Wii to buy all those games on Virtual Console.
Edit: The revamped Mega Drive, however, looks sexy.

haha it's quoted, sort of

It may look sexy, but it's really just an empty hollow shell, a substanceless, soulless piece of garbage that will come into your life for a while and provide some amusement but, in the end, won't be worth the time you spend on it.
I'm suddenly reminded of this girl I used to know . . .
