What Kind of SEGA Content Can I Find on SEGA Nerds?

Updated

SEGA Nerds is a fan-run SEGA news and community site that covers SEGA news, reviews, features, retrospectives, interviews, and podcasts, with a strong retro focus on Dreamcast, Saturn, Genesis, Game Gear, and Master System. It's a good fit if you want SEGA-specific coverage rather than general gaming news, and if you're interested in older SEGA hardware alongside current releases. Note that the site has also published sponsored or affiliate-style content (for example, casino and mobile-game articles), so not every post is editorial SEGA coverage.

News and release coverage

The news section tracks SEGA announcements, releases, and official statements. Examples visible on the site include:

  • Sega's statement on a cancelled Shenmue Full HD Remaster
  • Yakuza Studios announcing a "legal suspense action" game headed to PS4
  • Space Channel 5 VR: Arakata Dancing Show coming to PlayStation VR in 2019

There's also a dedicated "Release List" section, which is useful if you want to check what SEGA titles are coming out rather than read commentary.

Reviews

Reviews cover both new and reissued SEGA games. Examples on the site include:

  • SEGA AGES Thunder Force IV (Switch)
  • Shenmue I & II (PS4)
  • E-WIN Champion Series gaming chair (hardware, not a game)

The review mix leans toward SEGA-published or SEGA-associated titles, with a notable share of retro reissues and ports.

Features, retrospectives, and opinion

Beyond news and reviews, the site runs longer-form pieces:

  • Features – analysis and themed articles, such as "The Future of Sega In the Wake of the Microsoft-Activision Deal"
  • Retrospective – looks back at older games and hardware
  • Opinion – editorial takes
  • Interview – conversations with people in or around the SEGA scene

Retro sections by platform

One of the more distinctive parts of the site is platform-specific retro coverage, organized into:

  • Dreamcast
  • Saturn
  • Genesis
  • Game Gear
  • Master System

If you're looking for content on a specific classic SEGA console, these sections are the fastest route.

Podcasts: Nerdcast

The site produces a podcast called Nerdcast, along with a separate Nerdcast Originals category. These are audio shows rather than written articles, so they suit listeners who want discussion and commentary instead of reading.

Community and other sections

  • Forums – discussion boards for readers
  • Competition – contest-related posts
  • Going Digital – a section whose specific scope isn't detailed in the available material
  • Contact and Log In – account and contact options

A note on content quality

The site's latest news and features listings include clearly non-SEGA, promotional-style articles (for example, pieces about online casino games and mobile games). If your goal is strictly SEGA coverage, it's worth checking the section and author before assuming a post is editorial. The core SEGA content sits in the news, reviews, retro, and Nerdcast sections.

Who this site is for

SEGA Nerds works well if you want SEGA-focused news and reviews with heavy retro representation, plus a podcast and forum community. It's less suited if you want strictly curated, ad-free editorial, since sponsored and off-topic posts appear alongside the SEGA material.
