Peripheral manufacturer Blaze is to revive the best-selling, once dominant Sega Mega Drive games console.
The new machine will be released as a handheld and will come bundled with 20 titles built in for £29.99.
Among the classic games supplied with the unit will be Sonic And Knuckles, Ecco The Dolphin, Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon, Shinobi, Alex Kidd, Altered Beast, Alien Storm and Enchanted Castle.
The handheld, which will launch this month, can also be connected to a TV set using a cable included.
A Blaze statement reads: “If you missed playing Sega Mega Drive classics such as Sonic And Knuckles, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Ecco The Dolphin, you now have a chance to do so again and all for the price of a single Nintendo DS game.”
UPDATE:
The official site for the new device has opened here.

Ya I remember and those were great games. I would say who would really buy this with most games on the Virtual console on the Wii but these are portable so somebody will buy it. If only Nintendo made the Nintendo DS so you could transfer your Virtual console games to it and take them on the go.
