It’s the 30th anniversary of the Mega Drive, and what better way to celebrate than by playing a brand new Mega Drive game!
Developed by Dr. Ludos, 30 Years of Nintendon’t sees you trying to convince NES owners to buy a Mega Drive instead of a SNES by tempting them with more attractive, Mega Drive-exclusive games. It’s a silly little concept that makes for a fun distraction. You can play it in browser via the game’s Itch page, or alternatively you can download the ROM for use on an actual Mega Drive if you have a flash cart to load it onto.
There are also future plans to release the game on an actual Mega Drive cartridge through Catskull Games. If you’ve got some time to kill and you’re nostalgic for the days when SEGA were a market leader, then why not give 30 Years of Nintendon’t a try?
The official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account has uploaded a mysterious image with an encrypted message.
The accompanying text says, “The key lies with @madeon. Good luck.” Madeon is a French electronic music producer who uses a similar encrypted style of text on his music’s artwork.
While a Madeon collaboration linked to Sonic the Hedgehog seems inevitable, fans on Reddit have quickly worked to decipher the message in hopes it leads to information about the heavily rumoured 25th anniversary Sonic title.
As part of the 15th anniversary celebrations of Phantasy Star Online, SEGA are releasing Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation and you can get your first look at the anime below:

“localize the fucking game i dont like getting cucked by u sega”
“where is th us psvita phantasy star oline 2”

1UP have released a special article to mark the 20th anniversary of the North American release of the Mega-CD (known as the SEGA-CD in that territory). It’s a cool little read and they name a handful of their favourite games, some of which are US exclusive.
Subscribers to our YouTube channel will know I’m a big fan of the Mega-CD and love collecting for it. It’s a home to my favourite Sonic game ever and there’s a certain allure to collecting for it as the games are usually quite experimental in nature.
