POKÉMON?!?!? ON SEGA?!?!
My first game console! I guess that officially makes me a sega kid. I think I practically got the entire US library maybe with a couple of exceptions, still have em all CIB but I haven’t touched the system in over 20 years lol. I really loved playing with this thing, it introduced me to so many classics. That Tails music game, Ecco, the scarytown game were probably my faves
"Whack a bloody mole!"
Interesting thing. The graves of hell are lined with edutainment ideas!
Pico is not a Megadrive. It reuses the graphics and system management chip from the Megadrive along with the main processor, but ditches the Z80 CPU (which is used for Master System compatibility and as sound management chip) and the Yamaha FM synthesizer IC. The PSG (Programmable Soundwave Generator) which was present on the Master System is part of Megadrive's graphics chip so it is present – so for cost reasons, this is the one remaining of the two sound chips of the Megadrive, plus a voice/wave soundchip is added because of its educational purpose.
I used to be OBSESSED with this console from 2008-2011! I wasn’t even a part of the target demographic! XD
Nowadays, I’m not a super fan of the Pico, but I still like it. 🙂
Back in 2008, I asked my parents to buy me one (which came with a set of 9 random games) from eBay. When it got delivered, it barely freakin’ worked! After that incident (along with making a dumb decision to ask my parents to buy me additional Pico games, despite the console not working at all), my parents were hesitant to buy anything else related to it, so I was stuck with a broken Pico and games I couldn’t even freakin’ play! Then in 2010/2011, I decided to try again and asked my mom to actually buy me another Pico (which came with a set of I think 12 games) from eBay, to which she reluctantly agreed to do. When it got delivered, the console and all of the games I had ACTUALLY WORKED!!
That commercial was in Korean not Mandarin…
If it's the same hardware as the Genesis why not just make a add on tablet controller for the Genesis so you don't have to have multiple systems?
I absolutely loved my pico as a kid and it got me into video games at a young age. I even had that Pooh cartridge and Richard scary’s. Everyone thinks I’m crazy when I talk about it and for the longest time I had no idea it was made by sega. I miss it!
I remember seeing these. But I was too old for the system at the time. Looking at old ads from time to time I still see the name. I keep forgetting it was by Sega.
The Sega Pico was only a success in Japan.
Bro the pico was dope when I was a kid lol
If I ever play on this console I'd probably suck at the games on it as well 😔.
I actually remember this being advertised. I thought it looked pretty cool.
The Sega Pico had a succror the pico beena.
I remember that my mom took me to kaybee toys a store that was all toys kind of like toys r us back then and in the electronic section was the Sns but that same day they brought through the door those Sega Genesis systems with altered beasts as a bundle and I fell for that one for me as a kid the Genesis was like the big kids console it had most of the rpg's that made me go for it and it was all black something that made me felt I was buying an adult console and yes I did altered beasts was crazy with monsters and men becoming beasts with the floating orbs you collected of a white wolf that only appeared in a blink of an eye on overall all my friends had an and but when I came with that Genesis they all used to come home to see and play an adult console that was what we all thought back then cause the games had blood and guts like that splatter be house dude you find saw that in a sns
This reminds me of the leapfrog leap pad I had as a kid. The way these games are played look like a precursor to the Wii U.
What is the soundtrack playing at 1:50?
The only differences from Sega Mega Drive/Genesis is the sound chip. It uses the same Texas Instruments sound generator as the Master System rather than the Yamaha one from Mega Drive but also has a NEC PCM sound chip, maybe used for voice tracks.
MPC was the better edutainment system and probably contribute to kids ignoring Pico.
The Pico was my first console! I loved it as a kid! I need to find another one, guess I'll check eBay.
Here in Brazil there are many Master clones
Ive always to review this. Someday I will!!!! Thank you!!!
I'd blame the marketing and small game library as well. They couldn't exactly import and localize more of the Japanese games since they seem to be mostly properties that weren't introduced to the US at that point, if at all. Ones that did wouldn't have been big in the 3-7 demo anyway. Not to mention the biggest problem, edutainment games featuring licensed video game characters were poorly made cash grabs. The home PC was starting to become a thing, and there were so many option made by competent companies at the time that the console based educational game never caught on.
