The Sega Rebound (Or SRB) is a 9th generation console created by SEGA with the support of NVIDIA. The SRB was the successor to the Sega Dreamcast, competing with the other consoles at the time. It was backwards compatible with other SEGA consoles that used discs and utilized with apps, like most consoles at that time. Sega was aiming to get a lot of third party games on the system.

The Rebound was revealed at E3 2018 and was surprisingly promising for that time. It had wide appeal from fans for going back to their roots. It was then released at the 9th of the 9th month of 2019, meeting 900 thousand units sold in one day and in one month, it had 3.5 million units sold, taking off at incredible speeds.

This was then rereleased as the Sega Trispilt, its portable version and then successed with its second form, Sega IrisSphere, in 2025.

Development

After 19 years of inactivity, SEGA looked around to see that much people weren't into their games anymore. They didn't know why, was it because people have played better third party games? They saw that games were not enough and they had to push it more far. That led to the creation of the Sega Subzone.

It was known as Project Comeback when uploaded to the official SEGA Youtube Channel. It had 3 million views before the actual name "Rebound" was chosen. During development, the console had much more power than they expected. But it was not enough. They still had to see how they could make it special. Taking notes from the SG-200 to the Dreamcast, they tried. And somehow, they got it down successfully. How? We don't know.

Release

At the first day of release, the Rebound came in three designs. The Normie, Definite and Silver design. The Normie bundle came with 2.5 TB of storage, a AV cable and HDML cable for £100. The Definite had 5 TB of storage, an av cable, HDML Cable and Microgame Mania for just £220. The Silver edition was for Day 1 and comes back every 9th of the 9th. It's like the Definite version but with Silver the Hedgehog instead of Microgame Mania and an official Blaze the Cat poster signed by Iizuka.

Appearance

The Sega Subzone is normally coloured Black and Blue but also has other versions. It's design is very similar to the Nintendo 64 but is almost the size of a Wii. It looks like a regular, flat down square with a bump at the top of the disc drive, that's the power button. The eject disc is near the disc drive. There is also a big S in the middle of the square and lines coming towards it. The S actually has LED lights in it, flashing a colour for anything that occurs with the system. The controllers can be plugged into the Rebound via USB ports or just connect with the SYNC button on its side. Of course, on the back, there's a HDML cable input and output, main power section and AV port.

Games

Any game can be added here, just ask Karate-Chan for the game to be added.

The games for the Rebound had many games developed for it, third party titles were the ones that Sega really wanted. The list of games released are:

• SEGA Brawl Fest
• Sonic Rhythms
• Cyberblade
• Ristar Dimension 3
• Touhou: Within Dimensions
• Galaxy of Fate
• Sonic: Planet Eggman
• Stealth Robos
• Angel Castle
• Dr. Robotnik's Land Capture
• Kirby: The Crystal Realm
• Puyo Puyo Octo
• Silver the Hedgehog (Rebound)

Features

The Sega Rebound uses the power button to now on, just like many other consoles or it can be turned on by holding the home button. It uses its array of buttons to function things on the consoles, which are:

• The A, B, C, X, Y and Z buttons.
• Two joysticks and a D-pad.
• Home button and turbo button.
• NA and SA buttons

It can also have most games on it be played on the Sega Trispilt, the smaller, portable version of it. However, the screens are smaller on the Trispilt so graphics will be lowered a bit. Sega also tried experimenting with 3D, like what Nintendo have done before. They have planned to not go too far with 3D.

Applications are, once again, a feature. They serve as something to help the player do something, like meet others in an online chat or relax and listen to music in the SEGA Cafe. Or watch and make videos on Youtube and even make messages on things like Twitter and the new SEGA Soft.
