Genesis Flashback does what NES Classic don't.

The SEGA Genesis Flashback, a new console from AtGames that features 85 built-in titles, has been announced for release this September.

In addition to the slew of built-in games, including the titles from the Sonic, Phantasy Star, Shining Force and Mortal Kombat series, the console includes a cartridge port that supports "almost all" of the original SEGA Genesis and Mega Drive cartridges—a feature that was lacking from Nintendo's micro console, the NES Classic Edition.

Also packed in are two Genesis-style 2.4ghz wireless controllers and two controller ports for those who wish to use classic wired controllers.

The SEGA Genesis Flashback also features 720p HDMI output and scan line filtering. Additionally, every game will support a feature that let's you save, pause and rewind the action.

Last year brought with it the release of the NES Classic Edition, which Nintendo discontinued production of earlier this year after failing to keep up with the incredibly high demand. The company is rumored to release a SNES Classic Edition later this year.
