Game Gear Micro announced for SEGA's 60th anniversary
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Where do I go to buy all of this?Ok they are absolutely selling it as a display piece. There's a special edition that includes a frame and a limited Smoke Grey shell with no innards
Also cute box pins:
And this guy:
Also the magnifying glass screen is based on an OG Game Gear peripheral so they're leaning into it being goofy, just like the Tower of Power accessories for the Mega Drive Mini.
I'll grab one on a discount if they ever get cheap enough, but I honestly have nothing but bad memories with the Game Gear outside of Triple Trouble.
The size is 80mm wide x 43mm tall x 20mm thick.
That's 3.15" wide x 1.7" tall x 0.79" thick.
Considering how about half those games never came to the US (i.e. two of the Shining Force titles, that Puyo Puyo spin-off, Last Bible, & Sylvan Tale), I wonder if the US would even get this.

I won't lie, those pins & having a display case for them is kind of cool...but as a mini console, eeehhhhh.Ok they are absolutely selling it as a display piece. There's a special edition that includes a frame and a limited Smoke Grey shell with no innards

When I saw the words Game Gear Micro, I was so pumped. I had a Game Gear and remember loving it and even at the time the hilarity of the six batteries and it lasting a negative amount of time. I played the shit out of it as a kid in the car and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
This is so dumb its unreal. Why not release an actual cool replica, especially since Nintendo hasn't done a Game Boy remake/replica yet. This is so insane that if this was IGN's April Fools Day, I would be like hahaha very funny idea that they'd make four games per color and the screen so small it is unusable.

Shop links are here, different stores have different things, but it's all JP. And the site is havin' a time loading.
Also I'm starting to get the impression this is to scale with the Genesis Mini.
Considering the mini Tower of Power sold like hotcakes over there and it's literally nothing but goofy plastic nonsense, it makes sense.
Don't think of this as a traditional mini console, it's not what they're going for.
Legendary for the batt consumption. My brother had one and it was funny seeing a 6 year old being constantly exasperated by the need to replace or charge the batt pack😂
Website also confirms it's by M2 and here's the UI
No HDMI out either, just headphone, power, and volume control.
Also it takes AAA batteries and can run via USB, and batteries aren't included. So yeah, it's a display thing.
Excellent news that M2 is behind this, although expected. This is shaping up to be a quality product if you can look past the paltry amount of built-in games on offer.
Thank you. Warming up the proxy. Let's do this.Shop links are here, different stores have different things, but it's all JP. And the site is havin' a time loading.

It's really worth reiterating that Japan loves miniature consoles as just... a thing
Here's a tiny PS1 you can put together like a gundam
They just made the Game Gear playable because that's goofy and fun and Sega GO has been all about goofy and fun stuff
There's a reason they haven't marketed this to North America and Europe

I hope they take the internals and software and make an actually usable product for the rest of the world. I'd buy it.
weirdos who thought that ms could buy sega without anyone knowing and famitsu would get the scoop lmao
This is not the great scoop that they were hyping, right? This is just a small, surprise thing, right?
Because if so, I will laugh myself to sleep lmao

I'm dying at them having Nazo Puyo Puyo as one of the games
I bet all of Sega's announcements are goofy like this. Excited for them to announce a new Virtua Fighter gacha game for mobile

There is no MS buying Sega or partnering Sega rumor. It was just wishful thinking from fanboys on this site. That other thread was embarrassing.
Damn ittttttt, Amazon JP forbids this from shipping to the US for some stupid reason. So I can't preorder a blue one. ;w;
16 games on one unit for $20 and I would still have had to "think about it" but 4 games at $50 with four different models? What are they smoking over at SEGA these days? lol
I can't fathom the logic at work here. I can't fathom paying people to approve this.
Only the cool kids in the 90's had the Game Gear due to being able to watch TV on it.
