Xugo Gaming's Samurai Sam writes: "To many gamers in the states, the name "Sega Saturn" is synonymous with failure. Financially, that's true. The Saturn's poor sales in caused Sega to lose over $267 million, giving it a distant third-place finish behind the Nintendo 64 and Playstation. Knowing this, it's easy to dismiss the Saturn as a bad console and not give a second thought to buying one. If you've done that, what a mistake you made! The Saturn has a deeper library of games than you'd expect, providing something to like from many different genres."
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
