Imagining a bunch of midgets having a blast with preordering this right now.
He is surely enjoying himself at this news.
I am guessing the GGs are in "Short Supply".

Agreed. We need a mini Saturn and/or mini Dreamcast. The GameGear was nice and I enjoyed the original (despite having gone through two with defective backlighting and finally finding the right one with my third). Have you read the dimensions on this thing? It's a bloody playing card.Seems rather pointless...at least make a 4" screen in a 5" form factor
Or make a dreamcast mini
Or a saturn mini
Or dont do anything
The magnifying lens!Size ok all could be kinda ok if it wouldnt have screen. But how you look at it how? 1.5 inch screen , how that works? Imagine your eyes leaking out after some time looking at it.
4 games on it, are you kidding me.
4980 yen for a keychan console? I didn't know inflation was that bad.
Your regular reminder that GAF isn't Japan:
They obviously know their market.
How much does this thing cost? If it's anything over $10 I'll laugh my ass off.
Damn near $50? Have they gone insane?!?
Welp, props to SEGA for knowing their market for this. It's DEFINITELY not for me, guess we just gotta wait longer for a Saturn or Dreamcast Mini.

So they had the choice to make a slimmed down GG with a shit load of games and decent hardware but instead made this? Well, SEGA gonna SEGA I guess...
Yeah, the devs pretty much said that the GG Micro is meant to be a novelty as opposed to the MD Mini being a real console.i just don't get why they made it so ergonomically unfriendly like this. I guess they see it is a novelty gag and nothing more.
Funny thing is, when this thread was first posted...nearly everyone was skeptic. We saw the photos, the dimensions, the miserable 4-games/$45 and just assumed this was a hoax. Now, it seems to have blown up all over the web (not just GAF). I haven't seen a positive take on this because it sucks. Of all the things Sega could have done...why is it a Game Gear emulator the size of a credit card?
I would have liked it they just released the original Game Gear again with some upscaling and a better monitor. I'd prefer to buy the carts back than to have an emulator. The Game Gears I owned had no region locking. I had a bunch of Japanese games on mine which didn't make it to the U.S.Look at the post directly above you - this is just a novelty toy for the Japanese market, it was never meant to be some big thing and Sega never hyped it as such. I doubt this is distracting them from other projects.

Seems to me to produce it as a novelty is inexpensive. Many are still going to buy this, regardless.
I want one of these.
They couldn't figure out what the button on the board does either, but FYI you press it while connected via USB for FEL mode.A Japanese website did a complete overview of Game Gear Micro, including the hardware itself:
