While Sega did bring us the Dreamcast (and for that, we are forever thankful), they also squirted out this horrible robotic cat (and for that, we are freaked). Sega calls this beast "Near Me," a word play on "nyan," the Japanese word for "meow." GameSetWatch stumbled across the kitty on eBay. The seller states:
SEGA CREEPY CAT ROBOT " NEAR ME " KITTLY RETAIL USD 400 Available only in Japan, New in boxWhen you touch Near Me that will respond to sound by moving it's head in in the direction of the sound or twitching its ears It becomes a different character by your way to raise it, It doesn't walk but Near Me can mew in several different way
A robotic pet so unsettling that "creepy" is used as a selling point.
