Console Heroes Partners with SEGA® to Launch "The SEGA Circular Challenge," a Real-World Tribute to 90s Gaming Hype

Running September 12–14, 2025, the campaign invites fans to download and "clip" a retro-inspired SEGA flyer — The SEGA Circular — and redeem it at participating retro game stores across the U.S. for one free Console Heroes collectible. These collectibles are miniature dioramas that are hidden inside replica Genesis game cartridges, each one opening up to reveal a 3D scene from legendary SEGA titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog™ 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Altered Beast™, and more. While supplies last, one per customer.
"It's more than a giveaway — it's a shared memory brought to life," said Andrew Yanofsky, co-founder of Console Heroes.
"We wanted to bring back that specific moment — when you saw a deal in a flyer, brought it to your parents, and made your case. Now, instead of 'maybe for Christmas,' fans actually get ..."

Well, not for the last decade but a decade before that.
Where's SEGA's arcade action franchise when Namco was always releasing Pac-Man and Konami always releasing Frogger?

True. Sega was busy with Yakuza and Sonic, I guess.

Assuming this game will be released fully, not just demo and demo and demo ...

True. While Project '06 is technically finished, disappointed ChaosX won't make the full story with Town Stages.

True. Sega was busy with Yakuza and Sonic, I guess.

At least it pays off. They became SEGA's money maker as franchise (meaning not just in games but also in term of merchandise and toys).
