Brian Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 セガ60周年で“ゲームギア ミクロ”が突如発表！ カラー液晶搭載の携帯ゲーム機が30年越しに手のひらサイズで甦る！#SEGA60th #GOSEGA #ゲームギアミクロhttps://t.co/5wvONBRIOW pic.twitter.com/IXrekWLpqA— ファミ通.com (@famitsu) June 3, 2020 Quote
maddux4163 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Never did care for these micro handhelds. They’re more of a novelty. Not meant for actual gaming. Quote
chakoo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 OMG !!! -edit- I just have to laugh at the absurd rumors going around about this announcement a few days ago. Some were saying it would be sega releasing the xb1x in japan under their brand. Quote
GameDadGrant Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Huh. Might be interested, depending on the game selection. Looks around the same size as the Game Boy Micro? Maybe a bit smaller, even. Quote
Reputator Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 that thing is so small it looks like it would give you pancreatic eye cancer which was not a real thing until this was invented Quote

DarkStar189 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 The fuck am I supposed to do with that thing? I just held my Roku remote up to my hand and judging by that pic if i split the Roku remote in half thats about the size of that micro. Hell no. Quote
Ghost_MH Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Depending on the games included, I'm totally down for this. Quote
Littleronin Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 It is that small so they can sell you one of those goofy magnifying lens to complete the nostalgia. Quote
gamer.tv Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I had a Game Gear and enjoyed it (though I only had Sonic and Columns) but this looks terrible and can't instil any nostalgia. Quote
DarkStar189 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 4 different colored micros, each with 4 different games. GARBAGE! Quote
chakoo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 So saw the latest news. I still think this is cool but 4 games per unit at $50 is too low. It really should be 8-10 per unit at $40. Yet what do I know, it seems they've mostly sold out on amazon already. I get the feeling these might not leave japan but if they do they should really be for $40 and maybe change up the game selection (like make one all sonic, one a bunch of action games, one a bunch of disney games). Heck i'm a bit shocked there isn't a unit with shooters on it. GG Aleste 1 & 2 are quite popular and expensive games. I'll probably end up with the set sometime in the future. -edit- I should update an old point. This was not the huge famitsu scoop. That was actually cloud gaming for arcades. =/ Quote

I'm not so interested any more. https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/3/21278895/sega-game-gear-micro-games-list-price-magnifying-glass Quote The black model comes with: Sonic the Hedgehog Puyo Puyo 2 Out Run Royal Stone The blue variant includes: Sonic Chaos Gunstar Heroes Sylvan Tale Baku Baku Animal The yellow Game Gear Micro has: Shining Force Gaiden: Ensei – Jashin no Kuni he Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict Nazopuyo Aruru no Ru And the red version is preloaded with: Revelations: The Demon Slayer Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special The GG Shinobi Columns I'm even ok with the 1.15" screen, but the game selection is awful. Maybe if this thing ever comes States' side, Sega will rethink the game selection and go for a single unit with more games. Quote
Spork3245 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I’m legitimately confused about excitement for this. I remember game gear as having “lesser” versions/ports of genesis games and almost nothing unique. Did I miss some big hits or something? Quote
chakoo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I should look through my GG collection to see how many of these titles I already have. =/ 34 minutes ago, Spork3245 said: I’m legitimately confused about excitement for this.

Nah Game Gear had some great games as it went into extending off what the Master System did. There are tons of games I found later that were great that I didn't even know about back when I had a GG as a kid. So if you look at it through the lens of GG vs GB/GBC vs Lynx it had some great stuff. The system just is not remembered very well due to the screen and amount of batteries it ate through. Quote
Bjomesphat Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I love the Game Gear, but have no interest in this. I have almost all of the mini consoles, but this one I just don't get. Like how is it even functional? Quote
stepee Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Yooo 4 games? wtf I had a game gear as a kid and would be in the market for this but not with four games. If it’s hacked to add your own roms and it’s still around then I’d get one. It’s weird, Sega is always so generous with their Genesis collections. Quote

JPDunks4 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 What ever happened to that hand crank mobile gaming machine. Forgot its name. Quote

chakoo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 The more I see the marketing on this device. Since this seems to be positioned as a novelty toy more than anything, I get the feeling we might see a lot of 1 off variants on this with other games which might explain why there is only 4 games on it instead of a single unit with tons on them. =/ 10 minutes ago, JPDunks4 said: What ever happened to that hand crank mobile gaming machine. Forgot its name. As said, play.date, Still in development. I tried to get one of the devkits and wasn't picked. (wanted to possibly do a music or fishing based game) This just happen a month ago.

LazyPiranha Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Nintendo: Hey check out these little mini consoles we made. They’re cute but rife with shortcomings. Every other game company: We can do way worse than that! Quote

chakoo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 For fun I decided to look at my GG bin of games over lunch to see how many of these games I actually already have. I end up only having 5 of them. I thought I had a few more. =/ For curriosity, I do actually have a small handful of boxed GG games but none of them are the games listed for the Micro. Quote
