Square Enix Announces Sega Genesis, Saturn And Dreamcast Die-Cast Miniatures

This feels like a slap in the face to people who want playable mini consoles lol

I can hardly remember any Square Enix games on Sega platforms tbh.

Ah yes Square and Enix two companies in the past well know for their support of Sega consoles. What an odd choice of publishers to make these.

@Zenszulu @845H This is not the first time Square have made merchandise for other publishers. There are resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Street Fighter Play Art's figures.

However it is puzzling why Sega didn't have their own toy/model division make these.

I suppose an angry old man version of me is thinking "If you'd have supported the bloody consoles, maybe they'd have fared better?" Although it was probably Dreamcast that was needing the support the most.

It looks like Enix did release a few Saturn games in Japan, one of which I actually own (Ninpen Manmaru). But, yeah, my first reaction to reading this was so NOW they realize Sega consoles exist. haha.

@no_donatello Good point, Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari/Seven Wind Island Story is another one Enix published.

Squaresoft as it was back then made a total of zero games. For sega so they are a bit late to the party now. (They did have saturn dev kit but never released a game)

Enix did about 3 game. Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari/Seven Wind Island Story is one of the most beatiful 2D games on saturn well worth a look for the animation in it.

I have no idea why Square Enix are involved in this, very puzzling. I don't think I'm the target audience as I liked the European designs for the MD and Saturn.

Also puzzling why they left out the Master System. Very strange.

>I see no problem here.

See you next game.

For a company that never released any game on Sega consoles back in the days, it boggles my mind why they even bother with these. The only reason why Square Enix had any tie to these systems nowadays was that they bought a majority of IPs (Grandia, Lunar, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Tomb Raider, etc.) that use to be from there.

@Serpenterror
Tomb Raider was sold to Embracer 2 years or so ago if I recall.

Sad there's no Master System.

These are up on Amazon.jp now

Once upon a time I would have thought this was neat, but being old now, I feel like it's just more useless trash for people to buy to fill that void.

I've gotta pull myself up on this stuff all the time, and ask myself if these things actually serve a purpose in my life. Games are awesome, and showcase the creativity that lies within people. Collectible junk like this just to collect, not so much, unfortunately.

This is interesting considering back in the day square did not realise a single game on any sega console & enix only released a few on the saturn I think.

@845H that's cos there was no square games on any Sega console & only a few enix games.

@Badboykilla187 Sarcasm clearly doesnt travel well online

@slider1983 They also make toys. Source: I used to be a Japanese toy collector.

I sold a set of Kingdom Hearts keyblades by Square Enix. It was a rare set and I shipped it to Italy. Made a nice penny. Stupid me wrote "Play Arts Arms" (what they were called) on the customs slip; the customer emailed me pics of the package ripped apart by customs. I guess they got concerned because it had "Arms" on the slip...
