The Guardian also states that Sega then clarified that this meant there are currently no plans for any more mini consoles, which is going to be a bit of disappointment for anyone

Sega has said it’s not currently planning to release any more miniature consoles. The publisher’s America and Europe CEO, Shuji Utsumi, was asked about the possibility of releasing new mini consoles based around the Saturn or Dreamcast in an interview with the Guardian.

Despite the success of its Genesis mini, SEGA officially confirms it has no plans to produce mini consoles based on the Saturn, Dreamcast or other systems.

The Guardian then received further confirmation from Sega that the company is not currently planning any more retro-inspired miniature consoles. The last one to be released was the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis 2 in 2022, which featured the likes of Sonic CD and Streets of Rage 3.

SEGA America and Europe executive Shuji Utsumi has revealed that the company has no plans to produce anymore mini consoles going forward, so those hoping for a mini version of the Saturn or Dreamcast are sadly out of luck.

Sega CEO Shuji Utsumi says the company has no plans to release more mini consoles.

Sega America and Europe CEO Shuji Utsumi in an interview with The Guardian was asked about the company possibly releasing new mini consoles based on the Saturn or Dreamcast. "I’m not going for the Mini direction. It’s not me. I want to embrace modern gamers," said Utsumi.

Sega has ruled out making any more Mini consoles, dashing hopes for a Saturn or Dreamcast revival.

A few years ago, retro Mini console fever invaded the entire gaming sphere, with Nintendo first exploiting the limited edition concept with the NES Mini and then the SNES, before Sega also jumped on the bandwagon with the Mega Drive Mini and Mega Drive Mini II.

In a recent interview, Sega’s CEO delivers bad news to fans of mini consoles and provides insight into the company’s plans and future direction.
