Sega have announced the Game Gear Micro for Japan only (at the moment).
Thoughts?

Is there any nostalgia for the Game Gear there? I know there's YUGE nostalgia for the Master System in hueland and europe.

>>6490434
They seem overpriced IMO
Still, I wish it would release in the west so I could nab one and use it as a keychain

>> No.6490480

>games divided between color versions each one uses like 1mb of memory
>ridiculously tiny to the point that it looks imposible to play with
>tiny screen to play text heavy rpgs with
>they know they fucked up so much that it comes with magnifying glass
What in the unholy fuck were they thinking? It's clearly some meme shit to put on your shelf. I know all mini consoles are for that but at least you could play on the others.

Would have made more sense if they did portable versions of their Genesis Minis and released them as new Nomads

>> No.6490495

There's another thread >>6489142

Interesting if hackable, otherwise the price-per-game is ludicrous compared to every other mini-console. Also it's really fucking tiny, so it's probably not going to be comfortable to play. It's a fashion accessory at best, which is probably what it was intended to be.

Original gg had a magnifier too, stupid zoomer faggot

>> No.6490517

Seems like nothing more then a thing to hang off a keychain or something. The MD/Genesis Mini must've done well enough for Sega to release this one now as well.

It's still too large to act as key chain

The original GG is also much bigger and the magnifier didn't come in a set that forces you to buy 4 different colours of the same overpriced chinkshit at once

Not him but I still agree.

>Call someone zoomer because I have no counterargument to justify the stupid product.

Have fun with your keychain sized console of 4 games. Don't forget to buy the magnifying glass like a good consumer

>> No.6490649

Way too fucking small. If it were a decent size was hackable to support GB/GBC/Other Game Gear games I'd think about buying one.

>> No.6490653

If it was any bigger, you could clearly see the games were shit.

I know, I searched "Game Gear" in the catalog and got no results so I just assumed that there were no threads up yet

someone tell marketing that what people want are full sized consoles with enhanced original hardware, not cuck sized SBCs in a cheap plastic shell

>> No.6490738

>>6490732
In the end, people will keep preferring the original consoles. Not worth the complex manufacture work for something that probably won't generate as much profit as mini consoles, that people still buy anyway.

>> No.6490754

>>6490434
Too small to play comfortably. Too expensive for what you get.

Its a product made only for collectors because there is no use anybody else could get from one of these.

I don't think real collectors are interested in these. I think the exclusive market is hipster types who don't actually like video games but think it's cool to act "nerdy". It's a class of people who can't differentiate between mindless consumerism and actually enjoying video games.
