The rarity of the Nomad (less than 1 million were sold) has made it something of a collectors item, and in the U.K., where the machine is largely unheard of, boxed examples can fetch anything up to £150.
SEGA NOMAD 32 BIT
With little marketing support from Sega and the arrival of the 32 bit era, prices were quickly slashed to as little as $60 to offload excess stock. This meant the Nomad could be connected to a TV set and allowed for simultaneous two player gameplay. Depending on the game being played, the Nomad could drain its six batteries in just 90 minutes!Ī novel feature for a handheld was the inclusion of AV out connectors and a controller port. However, due to the power requirements of the Mega Drive hardware and the backlit 3.25" LCD screen, the Nomad suffered the same short battery life which had plagued Sega's earlier Game Gear. Not that this was really a problem, as by this time there was already a significant number games available. No games were ever specifically created for the Nomad, limiting it to the back catalogue of the Mega Drive. Released in Japan and the United States towards the end of the Mega Drive's life, the Nomad was basically a handheld version of the popular home console.
