Hello. I decided to make this thread as I was working on The Japanese Sega Pico Game entry article, which is a heavy workload.

I don't really know what much to put in this thread, but perhaps other folks here have stuff to contribute? Besides the list there, I got some Youtube uploads of Pico games which can be viewed here

I do know that there's a lot of Japan (and apparently Korean or other Asian) Sega Pico releases that have become completely obscure due to the apparent turn-off archivning a "Edutainment" game console. Rather unfortunate, as some of the Pico games are full of bizarre novelty value, ranging from the full-frontals of Cutey Honey Flash to the IMPOSSIBLE of Pokemon games on a Sega console.

You guys can also use this for a general Beena thread if anything more on that comes up. I know nothing about it though.

Dangit guys, can't you bring up anything?

Now this article has the 208 entries which comprise the standalone game list finished up. With about 50 or so more listings we'll have a complete list of JP Pico games, -hopefully-.

Just picked a PAL Pico up for a fiver. These things are region free correct? Would love to find that Sonic Gameworld game..

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

I don't know how it works for a PAL Sega Pico, but there is certainly no region protection blocking my US Pico from running JP Pico games.

[GagaMan]

I suspect they'd probably just run slower and with borders if thats the case, thanks.

Super bump time. Did anyone see the new Sega Pico dumps on the no-intro forums?

They're available here currently. http://www.axifile.com/en/5068C5EBAE

I'll up them on my own webspace shortly.

The interesting thing about this batch is that it's all European/PAL-region games;

EDIT: And then after I make this post I find the ROM dumper site, durp!

Team-Europe is hoping to be able to get much of the Japanese games. I'd like to ship my copies for dumping if the costs were reasonable...

I bought a PAL pico a few years ago and at the time bought US copy of Sonic's Gameworld - and worked/works fine

Oi, just now I see this thread.

Does anybody know what's the hardware of the Beena?

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

I think GerbilSoft might know, but the best I got is "It's not Megadrive-based and it's not compatible with the Pico".

There's a few Youtube ups of Beena footage and TV Ads.

Some stuff I found that I distributed over the #sega to kiddo , but posting it anyway over here :U

Lul its in korean none of you can read it (Smugface)

anyways...Sega pico was released through Samsung as usual. Launch titles were "A Day at a Kinder Garden(?)" which were fully translated along with "Adventures with Mickey Mouse" and the other 13s. The consoles were 19,80,000 won. Games were 39600 won. (Which is like $198 for the console, Man thats crazy! Considering Megadrive was like 10,00,000 won) and ($39.6 for games)

EDIT: DERP GUYS ITS NOT $1980

EDIT2:

The most interesting note about that picture is that it specifically shows how those special accessories interface.... through the actual Pico cartridge. O_O

Not pico related but

In the Korean-texted picture, I can identify 101 Dalmations and The Magic School Book. I don't know what the latter two are but based on the picture they're games that used the two accessories shown. I think the Pico also has a Pooh game inside.

In the expo-like thing, the kids there are playing Mushiking. Mushiking is pretty notable for being a frnachise Sega tried to push, so it probably warrants special attention.

The Pokemon game shown in the 3rd pic is one I don't have, and is the third of the three, IIRC.
I still have video of the "Hiragana Katakana Kakechatta!" game on Youtube.
