This bad boy is going back into production.

While most gamers are frothing for virtual reality and HDR graphics, residents of Brazil can’t get enough of the Sega Mega Drive.

The 16-bit gaming system is still selling around 150,000 units annually, which puts it almost on par with the amount of PlayStation 4 consoles sold in the country.

To meet Brazil’s extremely high demand for retro gaming, Tectoy has announced it will begin manufacturing new units of the 25-year-old console.

According to Atlas Obscura, the company has long been promoting the retro console in the country and was even been “producing new games long after the system had faded from view everywhere else”.

While there is already a Sega Mega Drive Classic Console with 80 built-in games for sale in Australia, the new consoles manufactured in Brazil will be much closer to the original.

Officially licenced by Sega, the Mega Drive will be compatible with all of the original game cartridges, while also offering 22 games built into the system on an internal memory card.

While the ability to play cartridges is a welcomed feature, the actual system itself has also kept other components from the past, which might not be as well received.

Unfortunately, the console is only has AV cables, meaning people cannot use HDMI — something that won’t impact sales too much in Brazil as analog TVs are still prevalent in the country.

The revival of retro-gaming systems is nothing new, with Australia being offered the Mini NES and Sega Mega Drive Classic Consoles.

Although, purists might be a little upset as Tectoy’s cartridge friendly Sega Mega Drive has no Aussie release date. But, it would be possible to use the game in the overseas market.
