I was on google looking at some stuff and I came across it. Is it just bad? It looks decent enough it has an HDMI and it plays the Sega games and comes loaded with some titles.

The audio quality isn't just bad, it's fucking awful:

They also have a bunch of random shovelware crap that didn't really exist on Genesis to pad out the number of games

There are many versions, handheld as well.
I found out about them when the new neo-geo thing was a new thing.

I almost bought this one at one point in time

i bought one that had some games loaded on it but it also had the original cartridge slot so you could play any genesis game you wanted in addition to the built in games. Only problem is...it doesn't let you save games, which is a bummer to say the least.

Oh good lord I've heard better music from the Gameboy.

The original Gameboy.

Sega HAS to see the market potential for them to do one themselves with actual care and accuracy, right?

After the NES Classic blew all the other Flashback systems away, I don't see how they didn't make getting a Sega-made Genesis Classic their #1 priority for Holiday 2017

The 2017 one looked good do you think it probably still has the same audio issues?

You'd think so, but as recently as last month we saw that SEGA doesn't get it. All those SEGA Forever free mobile ports are very poor quality (except the Sonic one which had been done years ago by someone who actually cared, and did a good enough job that he's now designing an entire Sonic game)

Here's some news on the 2017 model. All the reviews of it so far were really bad, but AtGames the manufacturer and developer says that the review copies sent out were accidentally loaded with an unfinished version of their software.

So maybe they put a little more effort into it? I kinda doubt that it's much better though.

What? Fuck! What is Sega thinking, they could be making bank on their old library if they'd take care to do it right....

The TecToy Mega Drive from Brazil was supposed to be much higher quality than the AtGames stuff, because in Brazil people actually care about Sega's old consoles, but it didn't have HDMI and I don't know if they ever started shipping them internationally.
