Sega’s Game Gear Micro Is Apparently A Thing…

When the Nintendo Game Boy was making headway in the early 90s, Sega had to come up with something to compete against it. Enter the Sega Game Gear, a portable that featured colour-packed portable gameplay and ports of your favourite 16-bit games that were kinda decent for its time.

Now you can play with power, as Sega announces the Game Gear Micro. Here’s the breakdown:

• The device is 40% less than the original Game Gear.
• The Game Gear Micro comes in four colour variants: Black, Blue, Yellow, and Red.
• Each colour comes with a set of four games.
• Each Game Gear Micro costs 4,980 yen (RM195).
• The mini console will be out 6th October. You can pre-order them now on Amazon Japan.

And now, the games:

Black

• Sonic The Hedgehog
• Puyo Puyo Tsu
• Out Run
• Royal Stone

Blue

• Sonic & Tails
• Gunstar Heroes
• Sylvan Tale
• Baku Baku Animal

Yellow

• Shining Force
• Shining Force II
• Shining Force: Final Conflict
• Nazo Puyo: Arle no Roux

Red

• Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible
• Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special
• The G.G. Shinobi
• Columns

Expect the Black and Blue to be imported by countries outside of Japan, as there isn’t a huge language barrier for platformers, action titles, and puzzle games. Yellow and Red might be enticing for fans of 90 RPGs, especially Persona fanboys.
