Square Enix Is Making Adorable (Fake) Sega Consoles, And They're Now Available To Preorder
Square Enix is entering the console gaming space, but not in the way that you were expecting. The home of Final Fantasy has had a big merchandising arm for decades now, and it has just unveiled a new line of collectibles based on classic Sega consoles. The only catch? You won't be booting up any games on these Sega Saturn or Genesis consoles, as they're adorably tiny replicas of the original machines. Priced at $44 each, they're expected to start shipping out on July 16, 2025.
These are durable keepsakes of Sega's iconic machines, as they're made from diecast materials and boast a surprising amount of detail. They even come with tiny controllers and each piece is hand-painted. The little Genesis replica is based on the original version of that console, and has its signature toggle switches, grill design, and "16-Bit" on the shell to remind you of one of the key selling points of consoles back in the '90s.
The Sega Saturn mini-console features a striking design--a pure diecast finish without any paint applications on the main body. While the various buttons on it do have color highlights, the reflective finish is an instant attention-getter, and other neat details include the various ports that you can find on the rear of this Saturn replica. This isn't the first time that Square Enix has made collectibles based on Sega's hardware, but those collectibles have been sold out for a while. If you are looking to bookmark a page for when these pieces are potentially back in stock, you can save the listings for a cute Dreamcast and an alternate Sega Saturn design.
