Called the Game Gear Micro, this 8-bit console is truly tiny – just 80 mm wide and 43mm tall. Indeed, it’s shown to be small enough to fit within the palm of a hand. I hope you have good eyesight though, as the screen is just about one inch wide. Don’t worry too much though – Sega is also selling a throwback magnifying glass attachment to make the screen easier to see.
The console is set to launch on October 6, for ¥4,980 (about $46 USD), available in black, blue, yellow, and red colorways. It’s not just an aesthetic choice though; each one comes with its own collection of games, compelling players to collect them all (you’ll need the black or blue if you want to play a Sonic title, for instance). No word on whether the console will make its way to other regions. As a lifelong Sonic fan, I can only hope.
