SEGA president Shuji Utsumi has announced in a recent interview that the company has no plans for more of its successful SEGA mini consoles stating that the company is looking forward not backwards when it comes down to development. Mr. Utsumi said that he completely values the company’s impressive legacy, but says at present that the established company needs to considerate on producing new titles from its vast back catalogue and also developing new IPs.
“I’m not going for the Mini direction. It’s not me. I want to embrace modern gamers. We are not a retro company. We really appreciate our legacy, we value it, but at the same time, we want to deliver something new – otherwise we’ll become history. That’s not what we’re aiming for.”
