After the Mega Drive Mini and Mega Drive Mini 2, SEGA has no plans to release any more retro mini consoles.
As part of the trend for retro mini consoles started by the NES Classic Mini in 2016, SEGA released the Mega Drive Mini and Mega Drive Mini 2 in the following years.
Although both mini consoles were quite successful, SEGA President and COO Shuji Utsumi said in an interview The Guardian further retro mini consoles are rejected.
Instead, they would rather focus on the future and offer something new. Fans' dreams of a Dreamcast Mini or Saturn Mini vanish into thin air:
“I’m not for the mini direction. That's not my thing. I want to appeal to modern gamers,” said Utsumi.
“We are not a retro company. We truly value our heritage, but at the same time we want to offer something new – otherwise we will become history. That’s not what we’re aiming for.”
