A standard alone Madō Monogatari game is also available for the SEGA Saturn. Lots of characters from the Madō Monogatari games would later find fame in the Puyo Puyo series.
Tectoy are making a big return to the gaming hardware space with a brand new system called the Zeenix – a PC handheld that is competing in a similar space to the Steam Deck. The console is clearly named in reference to their previous console the Zeebo and will follow a similar digital distribution system for releasing games. There is currently no firm release date other than “2024” at the time of writing.
There will be 2 models of the Zeenix – a Pro and Lite model. The Pro model features a 512gb SSD for storage and is powered by the Ryzen 7 6800U GPU. The Lite model features a 256bg SSD for storage and is powered by the AMD 3050e GPU. In addition to the console itself, Tec Toy have revealed a wireless RGB keyboard and pro controller that can be paired with the system. Connection to a TV or monitor is done via a separately sold dongle.
The first game announced for released on the system is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror title called Damned 2, developed by 9heads Games Studios. The game will also release on Steam and you can wishlist it now. You can check out a trailer for Damned 2 via the embed below:
While it is safe to assume the Zeenix will release in Brazil, the official website is available in English as well. There is no official word from the company, but this could imply Tectoy are planning to release the Zeenix outside of Brazil too.
If you are unfamiliar with Tectoy, they started life as the official Brazilian manufacturer and distributor for SEGA consoles in that territory. As a result, they have a history that is deeply connected with SEGA. Their biggest success came with the Master System which they started manufacturing in 1987 and continue to sell variants of to this day.
