Even Sega Thinks the New Game Gear Micro’s Screen Is Too Small

last acknowledging that the original Game Gear was a sizable wolf as far as handhelds go , Sega has just released inside information on its latest reversion console table : aminiature reading of the Game Gearthat ’s evocative of Nintendo ’s Game Boy Micro . It ’s petite , but even Sega inquire if it ’s too tiny , give the company will also be selling a screen magnifier accessory for its 1.15 - inch screen .

There ’s no shortage of miniaturized throwback console out there to help scratch your retro play urge , but theSega cloneshave typically been disappointing at best , and frustrative at spoiled . That exchange last summer when Sega itself released a mini Sega Genesis that return an experience on par with Nintendo ’s excellentNESandSNES Classic Editionconsoles . So there ’s dear reasonableness to be stir for the new Game Gear Micro , which dramatically reduces the footmark of one of the original colour screen portable to a handheld that ’s just a few inches in size .

With a price shred of around $ 45 each ( prescribed pricing is listed at 4,980 hankering given theGame Gear Microwill only be available in Japan at launch ) when it arrives on October 6 , it ’s priced cheap enough to aviate off shelf , unless you want more than four games . At launch the Game Gear Micro will be uncommitted in four colors : classic black , blue , yellow , and cerise , but each one will include four different game from the original Game Gear catalogue like Sonic , Gunstar Heroes , and Out Run .

If you ’re itching to play all 16 game , in glorious 240×180 picture element , you ’ll ask to corrupt all four vividness . But Sega is making that well-off with a $ 200 ( 21,912 hankering ) multi - pack that includes a ungainly snap - on filmdom magnifier reminiscent of the century of awful accouterment designed to ameliorate the original Nintendo Game Boy experience . As much as this feels like a console plan to invoke to Game Gear fans , Sega ’s approach sense a little Johnny Cash - grabby as all 16 game could have easily been included on a single console .

There ’s also no word on if or when the Game Gear Micro will be made available outside of Japan , or if North American gamers will have to devote a agiotage to spell the computer hardware overseas . Paying more than $ 45 for a aggregation of just four biz that , and allow ’s be honest here , were n’t the most compelling titles even 30 class ago , is a backbreaking sell . But at least Sega deliver something to fans for the Game Gear ’s 30th day of remembrance — we’re still waiting for theGame Boy Classic Editionwhich never arrived for its 30th natal day .
