The Cyclone Vortex is the first console designed by Cyclone Technologies.
Development[]
The Vortex, originally called Category 1, had it's first blueprints drawn out 2 years before the company even began. It was originally meant to have a two controller input, but it was changed to 1 controller.
In 2016, the designer drew up plans for the console. Several versions were shown, one with cartridge-based games and another with compact disc-based games, and each one had a two controller variant and a one controller variant.
In 2018, the company originally went with the two controller CD based version, but development flaws due to uncomfortable gameplay led to a change to the one controller variant. After SEGA bought the company, manufacturing of the Vortex began.
Launch[]
The Vortex launched with Sonic (2019), the first title of the Sonic reboot franchise. The console was free of major flaws. However, a few of the launch consoles had various issues that were fixed with updates.
Games[]
Several games from multiple companies were released, but the Sonic reboot titles stole the show.
