Sega Pluto prototype console revealed!

Hi guys, my name's Michael Westgarth of Sega fan site Sega Addicts. We just ran a story you might be interested in.

An online Sega Saturn prototype console has been revealed by a former Sega employee.

It's called the Sega Pluto.

Let me know what you think!

Sick!

I was reading an old GamePro the other day that called what is now most commonly known as "Neptune" the "Mars."

Of course there is the Saturn, now we have proof of a "Pluto" (further cementing it's place among the planets )

Anyone know of any other Sega planet code names that were used?

[noiseredux]

I'm pretty sure Mars was something different.

Heh, heh. Now I know what to look for at the flea market...

Kind of resembles an Atari 2600.

Was actually heading over here to share this. Pretty neat stuff.

I'm pretty sure Mars was something different.

A quick google search yielded this result:

the "Mars" was the original code name for the 32x.

I'll have to look again, but I might have read/remembered it wrong.

I never knew the Game Gear was the Sega Mercury! Awesome.
