Sega producer Yosuke Okunari has confirmed that the reason the company didn’t pursue creating a mini Dreamcast or Saturn because “both developing and manufacturing new chipsets during the pandemic is a difficult and expensive process”. In an interview with Famitsu, Okunari said – as paraphrased by Gosokkyu (thanks, NintendoLife) – the company did “explore the idea” of a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but ultimately decided not to pursue it when Sega discovered manufacturing mini consoles had become more expensive post-pandemic (and post semiconductor shortage, of course). Okunari added that the Mega Drive Mini’s internals “can’t adequately handle Saturn games”, and…

The studio says it is now focused on “multiplayer-first…

In exchange for access to “screenshots, animations, and even a page of the game’s script”, the members are required to sign a NDA, so some would only speak about the project under strict anonymity.
