This is interesting, it seems Sega is interested is suddenly trying to remind of their console career on their official japanese website. And I don't mean a piece of fan art - there's proper stats and info on all of their consoles (except the dreamcast for some reason), accessories, and add ons even the mega cd karaoke and some stuff I never knew existed. Along with lots of nice clear photos for desktopping. Enjoy!:D:D:D

They don't list Dreamcast because there's still software coming out for it (NAOMI).

[Grounder]

It looks great.

I just wish Sega could do an encyclopedia that covers the systems in all regions.

But I'd settle for a nice book about the Genesis that covers its games and accessories from across the world.

[Mister X]

Ah, but the job of Sega Fanatic belongs to the fanatics, not Sega.

Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh, he said hard.

Sega did sort of release such a book, or, at least, Sega Saturn Magazine did. It's a small, pretty thick book that covers all Japanese games from the MegaDrive to the Dreamcast. The bulk of the book is Saturn/Dreamcast stuff with only a few pages devoted to a list of the MD titles. It'd be a great reference if I could read the Japanese bits. :p Plus, there's always Sega Gaga. :p

Theres quite a few great books released in Japan, theres the Sega Consumer History that covers every console they released. And theres a Megadrive encylopedia too, that came with a little model of the megadrive. Pity they haven't been translated into english, so much cool gaming stuff only comes out in Japan.

You know, I will honestly forgive SEGA everything if Segagaga ever makes its way to these shores. I think it's great a tongue-in-cheek game like that even made it past the boardroom stage - it would be like saying 'we know, we made mistakes when we were young and stupid, let's go get a milkshake and laugh about the whole thing :)'

Come to think of it, I wish the Sega Europe homepage wasn't a Flash nightmare. It's got the business, yes, but I don't want some 'community rep' with a recoloured Knuckles avatar telling me to read his IMPORTANT BLOG while Sega Japan gets stuff this cool. You're supposed to be the quiet, nerdy ones Sega Europe :(
