If you've been following the efforts of Chinese modder TZMWX for the past year or so, you'll be aware that they've been working on a portable Saturn console.
The project reached its conclusion a while back, but TZMWX has now shown off a new case design which imitates the unreleased Venus prototype Sega revealed back in 2020. That system was a portable Mega Drive, and would eventually hit the North American market in a different guise as the Nomad.
TZMWX's handheld doesn't run Mega Drive games, and is based around the core Saturn hardware, a Fenrir ODE, VCD card, M/4M EXRAM and a 4M memory card.
"The colour of the newly purchased 3D printing material is similar to the blue-grey colour of the JVC Saturn shell, which looks quite comfortable," says the modder. "I changed the shell of a Saturn handheld game console I made last year to this colour and renamed it Venus S."
We've never wanted something so badly in our entire lives. What about you?

Sega ! Take note !
A mini Saturn is possible !
( i'd rather have a official Saturn mini over this project even if its damn cool. There are just so so so many emulation handhelds out there right now)
This looks kool, but I’d love an option with a bigger screen! 😻
Want it? I NEED IT.
Looks like a repurposed bottom portion of the fat Nintendo DS, initial release.
