Many gamers still believe that the Sega Genesis was the best video game console ever, thanks to classics like Sonic. Apparently, Tec Toy has some Genesis love of it’s own, so they shrank it and made it fairly pocket-sized. Great concept. I would own it. The retail price will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $100, but is only going to be available to Brazilians. They should be hitting the UK as imports in early 2008, though.

The device comes pre-loaded with 20 classic games like Ecco, Sonic & Knuckles, Alex Kidd and Golden Axe. The problem is that you can’t download any extra games. You are just stuck with those 20 games. To make matters even stranger, it is powered by 3 AAA batteries, which you would be replacing like crazy.

Basically, this is a fantastic concept, but I can’t help but feel that they cheaped out in the end. Still, if this is the only way that you can get your Sega Genesis on, and you have the budget, you can at least relive some old memories.
