Spanish computer engineer Alejandro Martín clearly can't take the hint.
After his SuperSega venture crashed and burned, you'd think he would have moved on to something a little more productive, but he's back with yet another retro gaming project (the second time he's tried to revive this concept, too), and one that I fear has just as little chance of happening as the original SuperSega.
The 'SUPERSEGA SSS' is pitched as a portable console that connects to your TV and lets you use original controllers, cartridges, and discs. Amusingly, Martín seems to think he's the first person to have come up with the idea of a hybrid device that works in handheld mode and on your television – a stance that Nintendo might have something to say about, I imagine.
"Instead of copying what other "handheld" consoles do, we built a new portable device," says the official site. "It works as a standalone console with its own embedded screen, or as a living-room machine connected to any TV featuring [an] integrated scaler."
The system will include cartridge slots for Mega Drive and Master System games, while the optical drive will let you boot Saturn and Dreamcast games. All games will run under Windows-based emulation, and the plan is to offer a standard and 'Plus' edition, with the latter offering improvements such as an AMOLED screen, 4K+ output on your TV and the ability to write data to flashable cartridges.
My fingers are cramping just looking at the mocked-up designs for this thing, and playing a console with cartridges sticking directly out of the back will be... interesting. But let's be honest, the SuperSega SSS is unlikely to get beyond these CAD drawings anyway. In fact, there's a better chance of Elvis reappearing tomorrow and running the hundred-metre sprint in under 5 seconds before magically transforming into a unicorn than there is of this device actually making it to market.
Anyway, below you'll find a typically unhinged trailer from Martín which shows a Master System game running on an LCD screen, and he burps at the end. Who do I send my money to?
