Edit3: The models:

Edit2: the add-on called "Big Window":

Infos:

• They wanted the Game Gear Micro to be on the right scale when placed next to the Mega Drive Mini, in the same way that Nintendo did with the NES and the Super NES Mini.
• The console weighs approximately 40g without the batteries, 60g with the two batteries.
• When the battery is about to run out, the console will give a signal. The player then has an interest in saving his game.
• Like what the Mega Drive Mini offers, each game will have four save slots
• The console menu will benefit from original music. Unlike that of the Mega Drive Mini, it was not composed by Yûzô Koshiro but by the sound team of M2.

Who the fuck is going to play on that fuckin thing. This better not be the big Sega thing. This is a fuckin troll post.

 

[Kagero]

I love you Sega but this is a pass for me
What is this made for? Ants?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

This is fake right?

 

[DavJay]

Like a mini/classic console right? I get it. But does it have to be smaller than it is?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

 

[Kuranghi]

This can't be real, the screen is so comically small.

 

[Breakage]

Is that a 2 inch screen?

 

[Kuranghi]

I dont know if the dithering will display properly at 72p

 

[jshackles]

WTF

That looks smaller than a single C sized battery these used to run on.

 

[sn0man]

If this is sub $100 I’d probably buy it. Hilarious and cute and a bringer of joy. Something to be said for 2020. SEEGAAA!!!!!

 

[DynamiteCop!]

This is totally fake.

 

[iconmaster]

[Kuranghi]

Is that a 2 inch screen?

Sega Is Releasing A Game Gear Micro

To mark the company’s 60th anniversary, Sega has decided to take one of its most notorious systems and re-release it in micro form. It’s not the Dreamcast or the Saturn, though; rather, it’s the handheld Game Gear.

To mark the company’s 60th anniversary, Sega has decided to take one of its most notorious systems and re-release it in micro form. It’s not the Dreamcast or the Saturn, though; rather, it’s the handheld Game Gear.

More details, like what it’ll cost and which games are going to be included (you can at least see the excellent Game Gear version of Sonic on the promo pic above), will be released later today, and we’ll update this post when they become available.

 

[Kuranghi]

I think it could be a new type of cereal, imagine 20 of them in a bowl, starting to make more sense now?

 

[celsowmbr]

finnaly a rival to

 

[Birdo]

Should have been a Master System Mini.

 

[jshackles]

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Wait, how does this even make sense as being what it is? Sega's thing whatever it is; is on the 4th of June...

 

[jshackles]

as long as i can play sonic in 4k 60fps day fucking 1 for me!!1!1shiftone!

You'll play at 480x146 and you'll like it

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Its no wonder Sony's been struggling to reveal their console. How can they compete with this scoop?

Right Famitsu?

 

[Goro Majima]

It probably has to be that small so it doesn’t eat batteries like the OG

 

[kingbean]

So it's got a 1" screen?

 

[Codes 208]

Is that a 2 inch screen?

The whole system is two inches...

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Next Gen Starts NOW

 

[Bartski]

the famitsu "huge scoop" lmao this day is just too much

 

[-YFC-]

So it's got a 1" screen?

It's the technique not the size that matters. Or so I hear.

 

[Codes 208]

You'll play at 480x146 and you'll like it

More like 120x32

 

[Endless Fluff]

Gaming on this is going to be a joy... not.

I could get behind this if it were as big as a GBA... but lol? How are you supposed to hold this?

Guess I'll keep on waiting for that Analogue Pocket.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

2020 just keeps on giving

 

[Diddy X]

But why.

 

[DESTROYA]

SONY and MS better watch out SEGA’s back.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

SONY and MS better watch out SEGA’s back.

Next Gen Starts When Keychain Console Says So

 

[Kuranghi]

Gaming on this is going to be a joy... not.

I could get behind this if it were as big as a GBA... but lol? How are you supposed to hold this?

Guess I'll keep on waiting for that Analogue Pocket.

It will be funny when they release a peripheral that makes it like 3x as big so it actually fits in your hands, thus negating the whole design

 

[sublimit]

Is this really the "big scoop"?

 

[Ristifer]

Segaton.

 

[carlosrox]

I used to have a Game Gear!!

Aw this thing is adorable!!

 

[Kagero]

I think this is a fun teaser TBH. Maybe a message that they are back in the console space. Of course this isn’t real. That thing is comical.

 

[Ceadeus]

That's really cool ahah!

Gameboy Micro is so neat, I love the Idea that Sega also want to do this quirky stuff. Why not! Can't get more pocketable than this huh?!
