Sega Master System is Reborn

Posted by michael on from the buy-one-get-one-free dept.

Nick of NSTime writes "Various sources are reporting that a Brazilian company is releasing a new version of the venerable Sega Master System, dubbed the Sega Master System III. The case is a radical departure from the old SMS and SMS II. The thing to get excited about: it will include 74 games built-in. The translated page can be found here."

    But I'll wait for PS2 Master version set to be out in a few years.

    It has the powerful processor of 8 bits, capable to generate images with highest definition and resolution of 64 different colors.

    I wonder if they might be overselling it?

      Somehow, I don't think they intentionally worded it in such a way that the google translator would exaggerate it. Check out the games list:

      Hang On

      It pilots a motion poisoned in a emotive dispute. Its motion is FEARLESS 4, it was projected you to take off everything of it: maximum power, principle speed and a spectacular capacity of maneuver! It breathes deep and it holds firm the handlebar of its motion!


      There's nothing quite like piloting a motion poisoned in a emotive dispute! I guess that console would have to have such a powerful processor of 8 bits to do that.

    "It helps Sonic to fight against the flock of metallic maniacs with its Attack of Supersonic Turn and to defeat the Dr. Ivo Robotnik. It saves the innocent animals before they are transformed into maleficent robots. Sonic and you only can prevent that this occurs. Either atomic! Either Sonic!" :)

      Or what about Alex Kidd described as a "perverse black ninja" ?
      And Alien Storm involving evil "foreigners" invading the planet Land?
