we need a handheld section to talk about the sega nomad and gamegear and games

[MrMatthews]

What a novel idea... I don't think anyone EVER has ever suggested this before.

[streetsofrage]

so then if so many people suggested it why do we still not have one

[MrMatthews]

Because the request gets the same answer every time.

"Dear Sir or Madam;

We regret to inform you that your request cannot be approved at this time. This is a Genesis/Mega Drive fan site, not an all-encompassing Sega site. The Nomad is just a portable Genesis and does not need its own section. If you would like to discuss the Master System, Game Gear, Saturn, or Dreamcast, please refer to the Insert Coin section.

Thank you for your continuing patronage.

Sincerely;

The Sega-16 Staff."

Can were sticky one of these "there should be a Master System/Game Gear/Raul Julia/Nomad" threads, so we can keep all these terrible ideas in one place; except a Raul Julia board, that would be so awesome. We could praise the mightiness of Raul and dance the Mamushka until the return of Rusty Venture.

The Sega Nomad and it's games already have their own section. It's titled "Genesis does!"

The X'Eye, CDX, Wondermega, Mega Jet, Terra Drive, etc, don't have their own sections either, as they don't play anything unique from the three Genesis game formats which already have sections: carts, CDs, 32X.

There seems to be less interest in Game Gear than other consoles that don't have their own section, but they can all be discussed under Insert Coin.

Hey Black_Tiger, I think it would be nice if the either the SEGA Nomad or the Game Gear had it's own section actually. Speaking as a SEGA enthusiast it would make finding information and exchanging information a little easier. I can certainly understand why the SEGA Nomad alone would not have it's own section but I believe that information regarding the SEGA Game Gear is a little scarce.

It would not only provide much needed info about the console but also would be a way of discovering information about the handheld's roughly 390 official titles in it's game library. It should also be said that, using the MasterGear Converter, the Game Gear can actually play Sega Master System games. The SEGA Master System library has roughly 114+ games. Having the information in one section would be quite valuable.

In any case, it is just something to consider. I just thought I would offer my opinion on the matter.

Naw. This is SEGA-16, not Sega-8. There's always the SMS Power forums if you want to talk that particular part of Sega History (which I often do).

[MrMatthews]

This is getting ridiculous...

[StarMist]

I've perused this thread a few times on separate days and still all the sense I can make of it is as follows: We need a handheld thread in order to separately discuss the DS, GBA, Lynx, NG Pocket Colour, PSP, and Wonderswan.

Insert Coin needs to be renamed

(unless insert coin is the arcade cab section?)

Ha ha! That statement would have definitely made sense except for the fact that there exists a 32X forum.
