Looks like Shining Force Gaiden(s) will be included.

It would be nice if they bring over English versions of the trilogy.

Wow. Well this was unexpected. At first thought "OK, it's a Game Gear" until I saw the second photo and realized just how tiny it is. This is like the iPod Nano of consoles. If I can put a band on that I could probably wear it like a watch.

There's no way I could even play anything on that. I was having a hard enough time seeing the screen when I recently took out my GBA SP. I couldn't believe how small that screen was.

[cabear]

cool idea i guess

Yeah I'm the same. This is a hard pass. Cute but my old fucking eyes would die.

[zyrobs]

This is completely fucking useless.

[turboxray]

Wow.. that's micro trash.

[ComradeOj]

What is this, a handheld for ants?

Gotta admit though, it's pretty cool. Also probably unplayable with that size. Imagine putting one on a keychain and carrying it around with your keys though.

[Leynos]

Unplayable at that size. Why not just make it the size of a GBA Micro? That would be playable. Near the same price as the MD Mini. Eh, no thanks. Now, where is that SEGA Nomad re-release we were teased last year?


EDIT Scratch that.

Game Gear MEGA (yes it's real)

Each color has four games:

…um, yeah OK I'm not sure what they're expecting to get out of this (・＿・) That's $184 to get all 16 games.
Also for extra irony: there's a micro variant of the magnifier (BIG WINDOW MICRO)

This is almost comical. The screen looks to be about 1.5" on the diagonal (at best) and a bunch of the games are RPGs. How can anyone read the text...oh wait they thought of that, but rather than make the unit a little bigger they added a magnifier!

This is a keychain novelty at best. If I can run CFW on it I would use it as a clock or watch.

There has to be an option to play this on a TV or it's going to be a real problem. The small number of games is also disappointing. I was real excited at first, and now I don't think I'll be getting this unless there's something else about it that they haven't revealed.

Lord. This is what happens when you develop a product with your head in the sand.

The most annoying part about all this is the price. Like, if each of them was so cheap to fall into impulse buy, I could see it working. One thing would have been if it was $46 for all four colors (then if you waste too much at least you can blame your lack of self-control), but nope.
