Coleco releases new Sega handheld
Posted by Chris. Filed under News.
While it may not be the “Segaton” announcement Sega Nerds have been impatiently waiting for, a new handheld featuring Sega games is now on the market.
The Coleco Sonic Handheld, which, as the name suggests, is manufactured by Coleco, features 20 classic Sega games and retails for the very reasonable price of $50. The unit requires three AAA batteries and features audio and video output. Target is currently selling it instore and online.
The game list is pretty decent, having a mixture of great Sega games, like Altered Beast and Ecco II, with a few lesser known titles, like Snail Maze and Aztec Adventure.
For $50, this unit is a pretty good deal. Think about it, some classic collections cost just as much, and you’re only getting them on a lousy disc. At least Coleco is giving us an entire portable to play them on.
Be sure to check the jump for the full game list.

I am familiar with half the games on there, I think I’ll wait for the price to drop a abit.

Odd that there’s no Ecco 1 - didn’t they make a SMS version of it?

I’d buy one, but it doesn’t have enough of the games I like. On that list the only games I’d like to have in my pocket are Altered Beast, Columns, Super Columns, and Echo II: Tides of Time. Not worth $50 just to get those three games…maybe I’ll try and find one used in a month or two.
