Nintendo recently made us all very nostalgic by announcing that it’s bringing back the NES in a new way. The company launched the new mini NES Classic Edition which comes pre-loaded with 30 games. Sega wants to get in on the action as well. The company has announced that it’s reviving the Mega Drive brand and is now launching a two-player home mini console and a portable gaming machine.

Sega made this announcement in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. The two-player Mega Drive console has support for the original Mega Drive cartridges, it can be plugged into your modern TV and also comes with two wireless controllers. The portable console has a 3.2 inch display as well as a rechargeable battery.
