SEGA Game Gear Micro

03-06-2020 5:23am#1Sega have announced the Game Gear Micro.
Sega Reveals the Game Gear Micro!

I was kind of right. I thought it might be the Game Gear 2.
The Game Gear Micro will cost ¥4,980 (~€41/$46). It’ll be available in four colors: original black, along with blue, yellow, red. The console will go on sale in Japan on 10th June, there's no word yet on Europe or any other region.
Edit: There's more information coming very shortly. But I have to agree with nearly everyone's initial reaction. This thing is ridiculously small. "Game Gear. Now in suppository form. Don't like it? You can shove it up your @R$€;!"

Google Translate: In addition, as a privilege to purchase "Game Gear Micro" in 4 colors at the same time, a "Big Window Micro", which is a micro size of the optional unit "Big Window" that allows you to enlarge the screen by using a convex lens, will be presented!
"Game Gear Micro" Specifications
Body: Width about 80mm x Height about 43mm x Depth about 20mm
Screen: 1.15 inches
Power supply: 2 AAA batteries, USB cable
Output: Headphone terminal
Software Development: M24 color variations,
4 masterpiece games for each
As for the main body color, four types of black, blue, yellow and red are available as at the time. Each has four built-in masterpiece games of the time. As with Megadora Mini, it also has an interrupt save function, so you may be able to see the ending of that game that could not be cleared at that time?

That's pretty awesome and the game gear is an amazing machine. A few games on it like sonic though are better on master system.
Depends on the games though. Hoping to see the shinobi games and maybe the shining force games although one of those was never translated.

On the JP Amazon, there's a magnifying screen that goes over the whole unit

The trend has been to make the re-issue consoles smaller... but when it comes to consoles that are ALREADY small it seems ridiculous.
Just make it the same size as the original ffs
You ever held a Game Gear? It was not "small" by any stretch of the imagination
But...yeah...there was a lot of buzz about the 60th Anniversary, and with the spat of vids featuring Segata Sanshiros son and the last of which he threw Segata Sanshiro in the actual planet Saturn:
had my hopes up for a Saturn Mini style console.
Hope this isnt all we will be getting

Probably, along with a camera add-on
I found a 5th, translucent one too :eek:

I did and yes certainly it could be trimmed down a bit, but not to the extent where it becomes painful to hold for anyone who is old enough to remember the original and has adult hands.
Not to mention eye strain :pac:0 -

This really needed to be the Sega Nomad II. Imagine, a modern, first party handheld which had classics from consoles like:
Sega MasterSystem
Sega GameGear
Sega MegaDrive
Sega MegaCD
Sega 32X
...all with a good quality modern display, quality dpad & buttons, M2 designed user interface, the ability to use hdmi-out & play as a console with wireless controllers...etc etc.
I'll waiting for that analogue pocket notification....

The analogue pocket is a nifty looking thing, but none of those systems have any issues when it comes to emulation these days (particularly with Sega owning M2)...so the FPGA base is something that only pushes the price up needlessly when considering 8 & 16bit machines on a handheld. I'd have quicker bought a first party Sega handheld than an fpga solution.
Those systems run well but doubt they run that accurately.
Also and most importantly to me the analogue pocket looks like a gorgeous bit of handheld kit with an amazing screen. Having all those handheld games on one gorgeous system is what I'm mostly excited about. And 200 dollars is a very good price for that. FPGA just means that having cycle accurate emulation is a guaranteed bonus.
