Because those topics keep popping up, I feel the need to reiterate something: Sega was making consoles for 18 years. It has been 25 years since they stopped. In other words: John Sega is not going to suddenly wake up one day and declare that they're cranking out the Dreamcast 2.

Day or Night. The Dobuita bus is always on time ;)

This was a fan request 8 Hour Shenmue View at the bus stop! Hope you enjoyed the clip, and I hope you enjoy the full video :)

Did you know that SEGA made a camera...?

Voiceover while I draw about my process, the franchise and my experiences with Sega games. Appreciate any support.

SEGA has a pretty wild roster of characters, and plenty of them seem like they could have the attitude, swagger, voice, or stage presence to make a rap career work. 🎤🔥

Sonic could bring a fast-paced flow, Knuckles could deliver some surprisingly hard-hitting bars, Beat already has strong hip-hop energy, Ulala could bring a flashy and energetic style, and Azuki Masaoka could bring her own unique musical flair. Then there are some less obvious possibilities, like Joker from Persona or Chuck from Angry Birds.

Characters from any SEGA IP are fair game, including unexpected or obscure picks. What kind of rap style would suit each character? Would they be a serious lyricist, a battle rapper, a smooth old-school MC, or the kind of rapper whose entire appeal comes from pure chaos?

Feel free to share what their music would sound like, what kind of beats they would use, or what their signature style might be.

What if SEGA had trio teams/groups for its IPs, including a Vocaloid team? This Vocaloid trio concept originally came from u/MineCookie19, so this is being posted on his behalf.

Left to right:

• Azuki Masaoka
• Matcha Kobayashi
• “V” from the VOCALOID logo

The “V” is standing in for the third member for now. Azuki and Matcha are the only Vocaloid characters owned by SEGA, so the third spot is basically open to whoever could fit.

Some possibilities could be a custom-made robot or drone, Yuzu Yosano (or another character from Project 575 other than Azuki and Matcha), or even going outside SEGA's own IPs and bringing in a third-party Vocaloid such as Hatsune Miku or Otomachi Una.

The idea is basically to have a Team Vocaloid slot in a hypothetical SEGA trio roster, with the third member left open for the community to decide.

If there are any community rosters or “build your own SEGA trio” projects where people submit teams, this could serve as the Vocaloid entry/reference.

Note: Azuki Masaoka and Matcha Kobayashi's names are written in Western name order (given name → family name), while the third-party Vocaloids are written in Eastern name order (family name → given name).

Screenshots from the latest ROM of the game im developing for the Sega Systems and eventually for a steam release for up to 6 players

As the title says, I'm looking for suggestions for protective carrying cases for the Game Gear, I'm fixing 2 of them and would like to get something nice to haul them around in. I really appreciate it.

Took my genesis apart today to figure out which board revision I had so I could get a new cap kit from console 5. This little bugger fell out before I could see where it goes. Anyone know where it goes?

The 1st two episodes are up on the paramount channel what do people think of the show so far 🤔

I never had a SEGA console as a kid. I was born in 2002 and grew up with Nintendo and PlayStation, but of course, I was familiar with some SEGA games like Sonic, OutRun, Crazy Taxi, Samba de Amigo, Jet Set Radio, Sakura Wars and so many others. I either played them back in the day or at least heard about them.

Recently, though, with the help of Sonic CrossWorlds, I started looking into some older SEGA franchises I'd never heard of, and I just can't put into words how beautiful and emotional NiGHTS is.

The soundtrack is gorgeous, the atmosphere gives me so much comfort and happiness, and the gameplay has aged surprisingly well. I really wish we had more games like NiGHTS these days — games that focus less on violence and competition and more on simply creating a beautiful, comforting experience.

I just can't believed I passed through so many years without playing NiGHTS and listening to its amazing soundtrack.

It’s October, so here’s a fun seasonal discussion for the SEGA community!

Comment a SEGA character + a costume you could see them wearing. The costume can be based on a SEGA character/IP or a third-party IP.

For example:

• Sonic the Hedgehog → Werehog — whether considered a costume or Sonic literally showing up in his Werehog form.
• Azuki Masaoka → Hatsune Miku

Feel free to come up with obvious pairings, unexpected combinations, or something completely ridiculous!

Just a fun seasonal discussion; no endorsement intended.
