Sega aiming for simultaneous worldwide release.

Sega has delayed the Sega Fes 2018-announced Mega Drive Mini (name tentative) to 2019.

Also, in order to Sega achieve a level of quality that Sega fans expect, Sega has established a system to rethink the design of the device with the original team at its core, as well as cooperate with Japanese developers proven in software development.
