Super Mega Drive: From Concept to Console!

Well, not exactly. The Super Mega Drive is a fictional video game console (For now) that I came up with and built one out of Lego (with guts and everything). But what is this crazy contraption?

The Super Mega Drive is a console that instead of using disc based media, it uses USB Cartridges. (Blu-Ray's 128 GB vs AeroSoft's 200 GB). The cartridge's male end USB portion is wider compared to normal thumb-drives to thwart piracy and to make sure the medium can't be played on computers without the add-on that allowed for at home development (A sort of homebrew kit if you will).

Fictionally, the system's power differs greatly from what source you would hear it from. (One tale tells that the SMD's power is somewhat of the Sega Saturn and the N64 combined, while another says its on par with eight or ninth generation consoles). Either way, is capable of rendering 3D and 2D graphics of discernible quality.

The Super Mega Drive's release date also varies on the scale of what timeline I've came up with (Ranging from the early 90's to 2015/2016). It also has internet capabilities on some timelines.

The cartridges are also able to hold additional chips a la SNES. Hence the NSFX chip (Nitori's Super Effects). Which would bump the graphical quality to PS2 era graphics.

Also, going into the gaming industry is sort of what I want to do later in life (Hell, I've been developing my own games for a couple years now, that is if you follow my Gamejolt page), Other than producing software, I also want to hardware as well. So good luck for me and good luck for AeroSoft.
