The Japanese company did not start as a video game developer, but it has always been linked to the entertainment industry.
60 years are not few. Before its confrontations with Nintendo, the mythical Japanese company was already operating in the market. Mega Drive was one of his great triumphs with Sonic, a character who has accompanied SEGA since its birth in the 1990s. It has not been easy, neither, since the fall of Dreamcast also meant the company's farewell as a hardware manufacturer. The Japanese firm, which opened a website to commemorate this important anniversary, now explains the slogan, GO SEGA (Come on, SEGA!).
Haruki Satomi, President of SEGA
Letter from the President
“This year, sixty years have passed since Nihon Goraku Bussan Co. Ltd., SEGA's predecessor, was established on June 3, 1960. We are indebted to all who have sponsored the SEGA Group for many years, and we would like to express our deep gratitude to all of you ”, they published in an official statement signed by Haruki Satomi, president and CEO of the company.
“We want to surprise the world with experiences that leave them breathless and that no one on the planet has ever imagined. We want to be a company that continues to provide inspiring experiences for all those in the world of the future. ” In the letter, Satomi highlights the need to overcome obstacles, while facing new challenges. For this anniversary, as we said, they have chosen the following slogan: "GO SEGA", which "expresses those aspirations".
The company reports that the group is planning a variety of special content to celebrate this event, although it has not detailed what they will consist of.
While Sonic rests in video games after Sonic Mania, the hedgehog has been released in the movies. The producer, Paramount, officially announced that the digital release of the film will be brought forward and will be available starting March 31. Meanwhile, SEGA is working on the seventh installment of one of its illustrious sagas. Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon will modify its game system and set aside real-time combat for a turn-based role-playing approach.
