History[]
Japan[]
Sega Shiro campaign[]

To celebrate Sega's 60th anniversary, Sega of Japan created a campaign featuring Sega Shiro, the son of former mascot/spokesperson Segata Sanshiro who had tragically died in the last TV spot for the Sega Saturn protecting Sega HQ from a missile.
Sega Shiro would respond to various questions at school by announcing SEGA in response to the his classmates questions. The second TV advert had Sega Sanshiro's backstory of training with his father before being forced to face off with a mysterious masked judo martial artist.
The third advert had Sega face off with the masked man. After Sega Shiro takes him down in a match, it is realised that Segata was the masked man. Segata comments on Sega's growth and tells him to surpass him, telling him to throw him and forget about him. Sega throws Segata into space where he crashes into the planet Saturn. Sega wakes up revealing it to be a dream, but he holds his father's blackbelt in his hand with Segata's voice telling him he has entrusted Sega (the company)'s future with his son.
Sega Shiro products from the Japanese website
To go alongside this campaign, Sega created some Sega Shiro merchandise such as T-shirts, pens(and a acrylic holder) and badges.
Mini consoles[]
As part of the celebrations Sega announced and released two mini consoles:
- Game Gear Micro: As the 60th anniversary also coincided with Game Gear's 30th anniversary, Sega released four mini versions of the Game Gear in Black, Blue, Red and Yellow. Each console came with four games loaded on it which were fully playable at a microscopic size.
- Astro City Mini: A miniature version of Sega's Astro City cabinets from 1993. This console contains 37 built in Sega arcade games from across the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike the Game Gear Micro, both the USA and the UK had an official distribution.
