SEGA has decided to unveil one of its projects related to its 60th-anniversary celebration. It's not the rumored Dreamcast Mini that some may have been dreaming of, but SEGA is releasing a retro throwback system, in the form of the absolutely tiny Game Gear Micro. The teaser website is scant on details, but more information is to come on June 3rd at 13:00 Japan Standard Time (GMT+9).

[UPDATE]

Pricing details and more information has been given. The Game Gear Micro will cost 4,980 yen, and is planned to release on October 6th in Japan. Multiple colors of the Micro will be sold, each with different games on them. The standard black version will have Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo, OutRun, and Royal Stone. A blue variant will come with Sonic chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Sylvan Tale, and Baku Baku Animal. There is also a yellow one which has Shining Force Gaiden, Shining Force: The Sword of Haiya, Shining Force: Final Conflict, and Nazo Puyo Arle no Roux. Lastly, the red Game Gear Micro will come with Revelations: The Demon Slayer, Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special, Shinobi, and Columns. M2 is in charge of porting the games.

The Micro measures in at 80mm x 43mm x 40mm. It'll also run off AAA batteries, or can be charged through a USB cable. Since it's just so tiny, SEGA will also be selling the "Big Window Micro", a magnifier that clips on and makes the screen size larger.

My dream console would be Dreamcast or Saturn mini.
Why? They're hard to find, difficult to emulate and feature many gems ought to be replayed.
dreamcast isnt hard to emulate, saturn yes dreamcast not so much, but that is the main issue why you will never see a saturn mini, becuase mini consoles work with emulators and if they are hard to do they wont do the mini :s

Jeez that is one tiny screen. Battery life was horrible on the original even with 6 batteries. It cost a small fortune to play.

Not sure if people don't remember how awful the games are, couldn't tell how awful they are because their batteries were always dying or they're somehow mistaking this for a mini Genesis... But BOY are people positive about this little PoS.

Focus on your genius longer development cycles for Sonic games, not producing material for land fills.

I don't have a single fond memory regarding the Game Gear. Good luck.

I'm somewhat interested in the yellow Shining Force one, but I don't believe most of the games on that one have official translations, so fat chance seeing a Western release. Otherwise, unless I were to catch these on clearance someday, fuck no.

Gameboy micro is the best gameboy handheld. In fact the best handheld videoconsole.
GBA SP is actually...
