What Happened to Sega?

Back in the 1990s, Sega was hot stuff.

At that time, Nintendo was the big kid on the block.

It was there to take down the video game establishment.

It was a stark contrast to Mario, the slow plumber."

“Long time Sega lover” (also writer and filmmaker)Daniel Hessagrees.

“Sega was always the more edgy grown-up system to Nintendo’s more family-friendly approach.

Then things went downhill fast, like a rolling blue hedgehog.

Sega’s follow-up consoles were impressive butfailed to sell.

Its successor, the Saturn, went up against Sony’s Playstation and lost.

In 2001, Sega stopped console development and focussed on making games.

And yet here we are.

Nintendo will launch the new plan in October.

Nintendo 64 games includeSuper Mario 64,Mario Kart 64, andThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Coming later areThe Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask,F-Zero X,andPaper Mario.

Sadly, the best N64 game of all Goldeneyeisnt on the list.

These games will also feature four-player online multiplayer, where appropriate.

The hardware also looks great.

Nintendo made a SNES-a-like controller for its online Super Nintendo games, which sold out.

Like that controller, the new Genesis and N64 Switch controllers will only be available to Nintendo online members.

If you want one, you might want to act fast.

Exhibit A isZelda: Breath of the Wildaka the best video game ever made.
