*I don't know what is sadder:* That this is so obviously a scam and they honestly think fans are too dumb to see through it. Or how MUCH the community is WILLING to give them the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps it shows how Hungry some parts of the community are for New Sega stuff? Sega itself is the one that should be making a, "Super-Sega". Not these fools.
Maybe it wasn’t a mistake and it was part of their plan, like pretending they received a cease and desist (or a real one) and simply abandoning the project and disappearing with the money they had taken
It's going to fail whether it gets shut down by Sega or not. Using the name "SEGA" in their console's name (along with the trademark font) is exceedingly stupid and asking for a lawsuit.
I wonder if SEGA really reached out even. And whether it did or not... I also wonder if this was the endgame all along. 1 - promo for fake console, 2 - collect 'pre-pre-order' money, 3 - (fake) cease and desist, 4 - run with the money
Y'know, I snark on people's conspiracy theories a lot, and it says something that this is entirely feasible in this instance. How could ANYONE think this project was feasible? This reeks of 2 guys sharing a blunt while playing Streets of Rage. 😂
Maybe they deliberately used the Sega name knowing Sega would send a cease and desist after they’ve collected all the “pre-order” money and could about face and abandon the project and run away with your money.
Sega lacks the infrastructure. That's why they never even produced their own retro devices. AtGames made the consoles that played cartridges and another company made the Mega Drive/Genesis Mini consoles. They'd have to buy factories and manufacturing equipment to even start up a console production business again.
Only the gullible not nice to say don't want to offend people but thats what they are. If somethings too good to be true it usually is. Never fall for rubbish like this!
Its not a bootlegged product, and you have the legal right to make cleanroom copies of hardware you reverse engineer yourself, this is well established law statting with the IBM clones of the 80s
Next we're gonna hear "Oh no guys, they made us do X and Y and now we have to cancel. Sorry, can't refund, all the money was spent fighting Sega!" I can't believe anyone backed this project.
They give a crap now that it's most likely damaging their brand & reputation over this crazy AF scam. Either way it's still deserved. While it is sad many people are SOL getting their money back the danger signs that this was a scam were smacking them in the face. Oh well a fool, and their money are soon parted.
What SEGA should do is pay attention to what fans actually want and make it themselves. They don't realize how long they haven't made a piece of proper hardware where we can enjoy their product even more and introduce it to an entire new generation.
Why I don't have doubt about Sega not wanting them to use their name, I have my doubts about Sega demanding they destroy the prototypes. This sounds like an excuse from them why we will never actually see a real product. Just more smoke and mirrors.
There's a good chance that Sega either doesn't know about this thing, or even cares if they do know. It's way more likely that this is just a ploy to make Sega the scapegoat for all the money that was stolen from people.
They weren't idiots.They were actually geniuses. They've gotten all this money from the idiots who backed this project and now what's gonna happen is they're going to pretend like they're going to continue with their process and ship the items.But right at the end they're gonna say we're sorry.Sega shut us down and they refused to pay everyone for the money invested.
There was noooooo way Sega could do anything BUT squash a product that uses their branding AND logo. 😂 oh sorry, the S and EGA part of the SUPERSEGA logo are different colors. You gotta do the bare minimum, folks!!!
They were counting on sega shutting them down. Take a bunch of peoples money and wait for sega to shut it down and then blame sega for preventing them from delivering a product they never intended to produce.
Been following this a bit also on Spinecard's YT channel who is a Spanish retro gamer. He got on some video and audio calls with Alejandro. He also got a call from someone claiming to be his laywer, sounded more like a troll to me, but claimed "Supersega" was a valid trademark since it was not literally just "Sega".
if they emailed that its more than likely fake. in fact this is going to be their scapegoat for all the money people have given them. this was the plan from the start. sure there's a chance SEGA may have gotten involved but i don't think they would email it like that if that was the case. do you see Palworld emailing customers?
Sega didn't care about the Mega SG, no use of their brand, just some reverse engineering going on, but thiis deserves everything it gets. Nothing subtle about these horrible cons
The odd thing.. (of many) Video game esoterica posted a video about people being charged the money only about 6 days ago. The paperwork just shown said the 21st on November. This smells like a pretend setup. Bye bye money.
Sega just needs to put out there own all in one console with there own online service, they know whats up with the community thats why they saw this and instantly said NOPE!
the only thing thay suprises me is it took sega so long to go after these fools. if it was nintendo they would have been out of action in a nanosecond, but sega is like oh months later maybe we should eventually sue these fools.
IP infringement is theft. They stole something that wasn't theirs. SEGA is actually being really nice, and telling them to get rid of the units they have made, rebrand the console, and make those instead. JUST CHANGE the name of the product.
There is a Sega Neptune FPGA clone on the way, the GF1 Neptune. It doesn't promise way too much, it doesn't have the Sega trademark, it likely is not a scam either. A simple Sega Megadrive/Genesis that plays 32X and looks like the unreleased Neptune, all running off an FPGA.
Copying not just the Sega name but the font too, yeah you are in deep idiots. I hope Sega pushes for them to get jail time. NO units were produced, liars.
No, there was never any intention to make this console, they ran a scam, took the money and now they are throwing excuses so that they can justify keeping the money. If you make a search about this guy's, you will find out that they have done this in the past. People need to be smart and do their search before wasting their hard earned money. I do hope that SEGA does indeed get in touch with them now but to sue them bad for mixing their name with this scam.
You've got to admit. This is the perfect scam. Call it a copyrighted name, knowing it will be a problem. Take the cash😊😊 Closed down by SEGA (allegedly) What a shame! 11:39
Its been B.S. from the start. Iv been told I'm gate keeping when I say this but It really sux how popular retro gaming has become cuz we get scams like this and some overpriced collections with bad emulation and FOMO re-releases sniped by scalpers.
Really think this whole thing is a reality bit, commentary on the retro community. It has been so over the top outrageous to the point they are saying loud and clear how big a scam it is, just to prove you can sell absolutely nothing to people if you use nostalgia.

Maybe their first mistake was putting the name "Sega" on it. Smh
These people had one job (naming it something else with no Sega in it's name) and they failed hard.
Maybe it wasn’t a mistake and it was part of their plan, like pretending they received a cease and desist (or a real one) and simply abandoning the project and disappearing with the money they had taken
@@danielm5477 That is concerning and the fact they took everyone's money so early is not a good sign.
Yeah, there is tons of super emulation machines or even hardware clones not getting sued. But don't you dare use their trademark!
@@hoppy8008 the other job was to make a functioning fpga, which they also failed to do
It's going to fail whether it gets shut down by Sega or not. Using the name "SEGA" in their console's name (along with the trademark font) is exceedingly stupid and asking for a lawsuit.
What you mean fail? You people are so.stupid oh my.god ,people still believe on this? This is a scam man...wtf
same thing with using nintendo's brand is a trademark infringement. and that's the problem.
I wonder if SEGA really reached out even.
And whether it did or not... I also wonder if this was the endgame all along.
1 - promo for fake console, 2 - collect 'pre-pre-order' money, 3 - (fake) cease and desist, 4 - run with the money

guys I'm from Spain, this is a complete scam. Forget about it.
Maybe they deliberately used the Sega name knowing Sega would send a cease and desist after they’ve collected all the “pre-order” money and could about face and abandon the project and run away with your money.
This is exactly their plan
Great excuse to take the money and run. Bad guys do that.
I didn’t know the prince of Nigeria was in the console manufacturing business 😂
The good Prince of Nigeria has more class, honor, and intelect than these people.
@@seantaft3853then why’s he always begging for money? 😂
bro. Aint no way SEGA even hit them up. They are just looking for someone to blame!
Sega should make a console like this themselves.
That would be cool. If SEGA themselves made something like that I’d totally get it.
Sega lacks the infrastructure. That's why they never even produced their own retro devices. AtGames made the consoles that played cartridges and another company made the Mega Drive/Genesis Mini consoles. They'd have to buy factories and manufacturing equipment to even start up a console production business again.
@@SciFiDude79 The company that made the Mega Drive/Genesis Mini was Sega with emulation handle by their subsidiary M2.
How do people think they're going to use a registered trademark for a bootlegged product?
Only the gullible not nice to say don't want to offend people but thats what they are. If somethings too good to be true it usually is. Never fall for rubbish like this!

I can't believe anyone backed this project.
He already knew that would happen. Bye bye supporters money.
big time.
Should not have slapped Sega's name on something Sega has nothing to do with
Damn straight.
They give a crap now that it's most likely damaging their brand & reputation over this crazy AF scam. Either way it's still deserved. While it is sad many people are SOL getting their money back the danger signs that this was a scam were smacking them in the face. Oh well a fool, and their money are soon parted.

Sega looked at the Amico and thought "hell no we aren't doing this"
‘Gotta go fast after your ass!’ ☠️
sounds very scamy and like they are using the cease and desist letter to further rip off people who they owe goods or money too.
Totally.
I smell a lawsuit coming from sega. Never put a registered trademark to your scam console no show!
i knew this is also nintendo going for lawsuit if they use nintendo's name too.
Call it Super AGES.
Why I don't have doubt about Sega not wanting them to use their name, I have my doubts about Sega demanding they destroy the prototypes. This sounds like an excuse from them why we will never actually see a real product. Just more smoke and mirrors.
Sega need to make hardware again
There's a good chance that Sega either doesn't know about this thing, or even cares if they do know. It's way more likely that this is just a ploy to make Sega the scapegoat for all the money that was stolen from people.
I really wasn't expecting anything else
They weren't idiots.They were actually geniuses. They've gotten all this money from the idiots who backed this project and now what's gonna happen is they're going to pretend like they're going to continue with their process and ship the items.But right at the end they're gonna say we're sorry.Sega shut us down and they refused to pay everyone for the money invested.
I literally thought the SuperSEGA was from SEGA themselves.
I was wrong. Such clowns, they saw the lawsuit coming.
I thought SuperSega was destroying SuperSega 😂
There was noooooo way Sega could do anything BUT squash a product that uses their branding AND logo. 😂 oh sorry, the S and EGA part of the SUPERSEGA logo are different colors. You gotta do the bare minimum, folks!!!
That’s why I stopped backing Kickstarters.
Too much scammers out there
If a bank decides it is too risky for them to invest, why should I?
They were counting on sega shutting them down. Take a bunch of peoples money and wait for sega to shut it down and then blame sega for preventing them from delivering a product they never intended to produce.
Exactly what I think, that's why they cashed out preorders immediately.
Well, only a complete 'dumptruck' would even consider backing thi s fake ass project! 😂😂
Don't forget SEGA alllowed mods for Sega Genesis Classics on Steam.
And then they will delist all those games on Friday.
I don’t believe that Sega sent that email.
The way I see it. If these companies would actually do us gamers a favor n make these systems themselves, then others wouldnt have too.
Man Id LOVE to pay Sega for a legit multi-FPGA. That would be so badass
It was called a super sega in all knowledge that sega would eventually act on it giving them a excuse to end the project!!
Stop calling them "IDIOTS", they are not. They are THIEVES !
they are IDIOTS AND THIEVES AT THE SAME TIME.!! so what do you expect?
Super sega is not even real
Using a company's trademarked branding and attempting to make money from people's nostalgic confusion?
In the words of Sonic: that's NO GOOD.
These people are geniuses. They ran a scam. They’re faking the letter from Sega and now they’re gonna disappear with the money.
Been following this a bit also on Spinecard's YT channel who is a Spanish retro gamer. He got on some video and audio calls with Alejandro. He also got a call from someone claiming to be his laywer, sounded more like a troll to me, but claimed "Supersega" was a valid trademark since it was not literally just "Sega".
I'm crowdfunding for a new car. I call it the SuperFERRARI.
I bet they will say Sega took the donation money so they cant refund anybody
Ohhh.. Never use Sega's name. 😨
My first thought was they loaded it up with ROM's and it tilted sega , then yeah people pointed out the NAME and LOGO.
if they emailed that its more than likely fake. in fact this is going to be their scapegoat for all the money people have given them. this was the plan from the start. sure there's a chance SEGA may have gotten involved but i don't think they would email it like that if that was the case. do you see Palworld emailing customers?
Thing is fake as hell.
I guarentee this is part of their scam
Email Spam Simulator for SuperSega!
That's why I don't pre-order anything anymore, including games. I will gladly wait for reviews before I pick anything up.
I thought it was a Sega product when I first heard about it. What clowns, they'll use this as a way out while scamming more people.
Sega didn't care about the Mega SG, no use of their brand, just some reverse engineering going on, but thiis deserves everything it gets. Nothing subtle about these horrible cons
Sega isn't mad he's using their name. They're mad that he's scamming with their name.
It's pretty bad if even Sega goes after you
Just call it the Supers Ega, and move along.
Honestly, the first mistake was naming something already trademarked.
The odd thing.. (of many) Video game esoterica posted a video about people being charged the money only about 6 days ago. The paperwork just shown said the 21st on November. This smells like a pretend setup. Bye bye money.
They're likely all too pleased to oblige so they don't have to deliver anything, if this demand from Sega itself is not a lie.
Sega just needs to put out there own all in one console with there own online service, they know whats up with the community thats why they saw this and instantly said NOPE!
the only thing thay suprises me is it took sega so long to go after these fools.
if it was nintendo they would have been out of action in a nanosecond, but sega is like oh months later maybe we should eventually sue these fools.
IP infringement is theft. They stole something that wasn't theirs.
SEGA is actually being really nice, and telling them to get rid of the units they have made, rebrand the console, and make those instead. JUST CHANGE the name of the product.
There is no console they could rebrand. Even the SEGA letter is fake.
It won’t happen this project would exist in the next 4 yrs or so.
They're not fools - they used that name as their exit plan to keep the money. The PCB is clearly a usb pass-through with nothing on it.
Maybe we should file a freedom-of-information request with Sega...
probably because they had the SuperSega names on those boards
They didn't even spell powerful correct on their website 😂
67k is a nice Gmail high score!
There is a Sega Neptune FPGA clone on the way, the GF1 Neptune. It doesn't promise way too much, it doesn't have the Sega trademark, it likely is not a scam either. A simple Sega Megadrive/Genesis that plays 32X and looks like the unreleased Neptune, all running off an FPGA.
Should’ve went with “SuperSaga”!😅
sega never cared until 2 seconds ago
Copying not just the Sega name but the font too, yeah you are in deep idiots.
I hope Sega pushes for them to get jail time. NO units were produced, liars.
Sega is a massive company and they can just bankrupt you with massive lawsuits.
I've never seen Sega do this except in egregious circumstances. Nintendo is way more likely to do this.
Will Sega retaliate by releasing a 4K ULTIMATE SEGA?
No, there was never any intention to make this console, they ran a scam, took the money and now they are throwing excuses so that they can justify keeping the money.
If you make a search about this guy's, you will find out that they have done this in the past.
People need to be smart and do their search before wasting their hard earned money.
I do hope that SEGA does indeed get in touch with them now but to sue them bad for mixing their name with this scam.
Why didn't they just rename is supersage system.
2:00 I’m over 250k unread with one of my junk accounts 😂
You've got to admit.
This is the perfect scam.
Call it a copyrighted name, knowing it will be a problem.
Take the cash😊😊
Closed down by SEGA (allegedly)
What a shame! 11:39
Should of just called it the Super Vega
Geni Cyst has a nice ring to it
Bro mailbox rules are a thing that can help with the spam...?
Using sega in the name and the font the same....might have been a little issue lol
Super Sega time
See, this is why I wouldn't want to back anything skeptical like that.
SuperScam
Tell sega to make a console
Alisia dragoon was such an awesome game please try it
I honestly am looking forward to something like this. But sadly they made the mistake of using segas name.
What if they knew this was going happen and used it as an excuse to go away and keep the money people paid for?
Please marry me and import me into the US. 😍
Its been B.S. from the start. Iv been told I'm gate keeping when I say this but It really sux how popular retro gaming has become cuz we get scams like this and some overpriced collections with bad emulation and FOMO re-releases sniped by scalpers.
lol they thought they were calling the product "SuperSEGA" without paying SEGA.
The lesson here is don't be stupid online. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
This guy was hoping for this to happen. Now the commitment no commitment 3 Euro is gone.
Scam alert!!!
😅
make a new email brother :D
I could see this and Amigo still coming out before Christmas.
Lol, Sega said "Get my name out your mouth!" What a moron.
Super sega doesn't exist.. it's all fairy tales...
Are they going to call it SuperNINTENDO instead?
oh boy nintendo already got the lawyers on speed dial.
Really think this whole thing is a reality bit, commentary on the retro community. It has been so over the top outrageous to the point they are saying loud and clear how big a scam it is, just to prove you can sell absolutely nothing to people if you use nostalgia.
Maybe its all just a scam so they can keep the money
