SEGADriven is a SEGA news and information source that focuses on SEGA's console history, retro games and new software hitting the shelves. We want to share a love of great, quirky, clever and down-right fun games - something that SEGA have always specialised in. See below for the latest news, reviews and features added to the website.
SEGA of Japan have teamed up with ebten to launch a range of SEGA NOTE PCs. The laptops are themed around 3 SEGA consoles with an additional SEGA-themed laptop. The 3 consoles are Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast which you can see in the above image.

SEGA: 99,750 yen or £680.26 Mega Drive: 131,250 yen or £894.96 Saturn: 162,750 yen or £1,109.75 Dreamcast: 194,250 yen or £1,324.47

Ex Microsoft executive Joachim Kempin has revealed that at one point Microsoft considered buying out SEGA before licensing out Windows CE for use in SEGA’s Dreamcast:
“There was always talk maybe we buy Sega or something like that. That never materialised, but we were actually able to license them what they call Windows CE, the younger brother of Windows, to run on their system and make that their platform.”
Ultimately, Bill Gates pushed to launch a console of his own and the original X-Box was born:
“For Bill this wasn’t enough, he didn’t think that Sega had enough muscle to eventually stop Sony so we did our own Xbox thing. There were some talks but it never materialised because Sega was a very different bird. It was always Sony and Nintendo, right? And Nintendo had some financial trouble at that point in time, so Sony came out with the PlayStation and bang! They took off, and everyone else was left behind.”
Famitsu have discovered a teaser website containing 3 images connected to SEGA showing fantasy landscape artwork with the date 02.12 plastered over them.

Could SEGA be announcing a new game? The artwork doesn’t appear to be reminiscent of any current SEGA IP so this could be a completely brand new IP as well.
