I would like to Work at Sega For the Pranks [Pranks]

When Sega drone Aaron went out of town for a number of weeks, his coworkers decided to prank him hard. Except " prank" at Sega apparently means " do him the awesome favor of turning his desk into a Sonic dreamworld." Amazing. When you permit for three weeks at Gizmodo, all you get ...

So you really want a portable Nintendo 64 unit. Well, modder Evil Nod can build you one, using a Sega Game Gear, and a N64. The end result may not be ergonomically correct, but at least you’ll be able to take your N64 games with you. [via Technabob] Source

Nintendo, Sega controllers and carts find a new home in the RetroN 3 console

We know the hazards that can befall retro gaming enthusiasts — janky third party consoles and KIRFy handhelds not the least among them — so it’s nice to see someone put some real thought in their hardware. Available in retro-futurist red or sober, s…

Sega says Nintendo 3DS will bring back mature gamers. But let’s not confuse ‘mature’ games with ‘violent’ games.

Sega believes the Nintendo 3DS could be just the thing to win back the hearts and minds of older, more mature gamers, the implication being that your average 20-something doesn’t want to play Mario Does His Taxes 8. Games like House of the Dead and Saint’s Row were two of the game that Sega referred to in a recent interview.

Sega Looking To Get Into The Console Wars Again?

Rumor is going around that Sega could be looking to get into the console market again. According to the rumor, Sega is working with UK-based Imagination Technologies, a company that specializes in 3D and graphics technology,  to come up with a next-generation console that would be a direct competitor to offerings from Sony and Microsoft. Details are still very vague at the moment, but do you think that there is any chance that Sega would be interested in entering the hotly-contested console scene at the moment, or will it stick to producing games for consoles?

Letcool handheld console emulator

The Letcool handheld emulator here looks more or less like half a Nintendo DS Lite – with its top display shaved off for some reason. This unique handheld console will be able to handle GBA, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and Game Boy ROMs, while future updates will also include additional support – hopefully the developer will stick to their word. Apart from that, this Letcool device can also double up as a portable media player, handling 8 different audio formats and 10 video formats. Features include TV-out, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a digital camera and a battery life that lasts for 6 hours, all for $70. That’s pretty poor battery life come to think of it – best to stick to your DSi or PSP if you love portable gaming.

Seven45 Studios may have a six-string guitar, but your bud’ll be playing air drums (video)

You think you’ll hit these colored pads? Think again, because while Seven45 Studios‘ Power Gig rhythm game has you shredding on the sweetest axe we’ve seen, it doesn’t actually come with drums — you’ll be waving sticks in the air instead, while four colored sensors pick up your motions. That makes your drum kit nice and portable, sure, but removes all physical feedback — and given the history of video game peripherals (look up Sega Activator, please) we kind of wonder what the company’s designers were thinking. Or we did, at least, until we saw the video after the break. Seems they’re just as confused as we are.

PlayStation emulator coming to Android, courtesy of yongzh and ZodTTD

If you don’t know the names yongzh and ZodTTD, you can certainly be forgiven, but they’re basically the cell phone emulation dream team — where the former has been cranking out high-quality Nintendo and Sega emulators for Android, the latter is the one who brought PSX to iPhone, iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre. Today, we hear they’re collaborating on a PSX emulator for Android that’s running faster than the 3GS version — before Froyo’s even factored into the equation — and that when his domination over the PSX is complete, ZodTTD intends to begin work on an Nintendo 64 emulator for Android, and then VLC. Without letting our enthusiasm get the better of us, let’s just say it’s an exciting time to be an Android owner, to say the least.

Ultra-rare Sega Action Chair up on ebay

Awesome. Simply awesome. How could I have gone through my childhood not knowing that I could have played my Sega Genesis games on the Sega Action Chair. The beauty here is that the chair itself is the controller with a joystick pad located on the chairs single mounting point and controller bars holding the buttons. Amazing.

Retro Sega Action Chair Up For Auction On eBay

eBay always seems to be the home of weird and rare things, and now an auction has been put up for an old 16-bit Sega Genesis controller. What’s so special about a controller? Well, this controller is actually an entire chair mounted on top of the controller, dubbed the Sega Action Chair, and is designed for games like After Burner II, Road Rash and Space Harrier II. Bidding for this controller starts at $300, though you can cut the queue and pick it up directly for $500. Due to its size, you’ll need to pick it up yourself in Pennsylvania, which might be troublesome if you don’t live around there.
