The Game Gear Micro Is Finally Here 

@Iamasillyboy Yesiam Yep, agreed. I can picture people dressed up Cosplay and have the collection hanging on keychains.

@Iamasillyboy Yesiam honestly would only consider if it were like $12 as a collectable impulse buy like Amiibos are for Nintendo fans. You are asking me to pay $12 per game on severely limited hardware. No thank you.

@Iamasillyboy Yesiam youd be surprised at how much shit costs here in japan. 50 bucks is nothing.

Dude this thing is so small is going to strain my eyes 👀

I feel there is a Family Guy reference here but i can't quite put my finger on it.

LOL that's insane

Sega is so dumb this is why they fail all the time

Cross-eyed

Not even people with glasses can play this

This would be good for a small child that is decent at sonic games. I still don’t get the price point...

You’re paying for the nostalgia

TBH, I don't get why they didn't do that or even one that was a mere half the size of the original, but with improved battery life. They probably could have still made it for under $100 and sold tons of them. Then again, I also don't get why there's so few games when Sega had so many great first party titles for their hardware. A slightly larger handheld with more games and they might have been able to talk people into paying closer to $100 for the set.

They don't. Its a cute collector like john said

The RPGs work surprisingly well. I can still read the Japanese text, and I played through the first battle in Shining Force Gaiden last night.

@@Matanumi Wait his name is John 🤯

papa nanor yes haha

@@bonitoflake7 John Downey or something like that

Millennial Math *Buys all kinds of cornflakes and never getting one for free*

Lol

@@afriend9428 you have to send in three cornflake stubs and pay for shipping lol

That grammar tho

But those are not even games. Those were 3 sprite nonsense that you switch between when you press a button or two.

Maybe not full sized because the GG was a chunky beast back in the day. About the size of a GBA with a 2.5-3 inch screen would be perfect.

You could mod a psp instead of waiting

Yep, maybe same size as the original, with bigger screen, better resolution and finally more energy efficient.

I feel like Sega wanted to go super-novelty here because maybe the sales would not have been much different with a larger GG.

To charge?

Was thinking the same

@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up To charge what? The batteries are normal AAA batteries. It does not have a internal charging circuit. There is no internal battery. The usb is used to POWER the system if you are not using AAAs. That is it the port is just for power it does not charge you can not plug it in and wait and unplug it and play later it is either tied to a wall wart or AAAs. Just like the old days you either had the AC adapter and played near an outlet or you had a backpack full of AAs.

Willis Pearson soooo, you don’t need batteries???

To hack 😂🤣

Not always a good thing

Actually Nintendo will be re releasing the Game & Watch. It will be bigger, so more playable. However it has even less games, just 3. And it is even more expensive.

Nintendo already did that

Instead, they made it the same size as Game Boy Micro.....

A gameboy classic mini will sell like hotcakes even if nintendo charges a 100 bucks for it.

@@light_player07 Funny you say that. It's actually SMALLER than the Gameboy Micro. Lol

It's definitely a proper disappointment.

@@MrSupersonic2012 Game boy Micro is already uncomfortable. This is just ridiculous

Agree. I preordered all 4 of them earlier in the year and canceled the order about a month afterwards because I sat down and really thought about it. I wanted them, but not at 50 bucks a piece. If they were 20 bucks each or so, I probably would have kept my order.

Perfect way to describe it. Me too. Actually looks good but also it's a bit insane. Seems like it plays well

Seriously. It's hard to imagine we bought a Sega Dreamcast back in the day looking at modern day Sega. Totally different company after the Dreamcast died.

@@yzois Not quite. Sakura Taisen is getting a big push with the latest game, Space Channel 5 VR is really cool, Monkey Ball retro is coming soon, Jet Set sold really poorly ( though I still love it a lot), a new Eternal Arcadia is in the works by the creator but not yet picked up by sega, Panzer Dragoon series is in the hands of Forever Entertainment, Dotemu has Bare Knuckle. I get your sentiment overall, but Sega is still making moves. I just don't think the home console/PC space is their moneymaker compared to the arcade/entertainment industry. Not to mention the Game Gear Micro is very popular in Japan at the moment, though I think it was made for die hard fans like myself and it's impractical compared to an everdrive in a Game Gear.

@@EternalLovefield don't forget about the Virtua Fighter announcement

There are books describing their toxic work culture in Japan. Sega of America was suffocated after its huge success.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pshhh!!!! Pleb. Pc oR NoThInG RAWWWRRRRRR!!! 🤣🤣

@@robertsmith20022 It can run Doom, that's good enough for me >:P

xd

Tell me how that works out for you.

It's nice to see that they're also bringing back retro Sega execs for the launch. I'd hate to think they'd do something that made sense like launching this in the US or having a US version of it. It's sad to see how many nice things get destroyed by Japanese companies because the top execs don't know what they're doing. This is a bit like those mini consoles that Nintendo has been producing where they didn't bother to produce enough of them. I thought about getting the NES classic, but ultimately chose to just buy vintage carts and dump them myself for emulation. So, Nintendo wound up with nothing from me because they mismanaged the launch. This is more or less the same thing, a version for the US would make sense as the US was a larger market for them than Japan was.

*must've (contraction of "MUST haVE") Similarly, it's could've, should've, would've, may've, and might've.

the idea is good, the price that is kinda off

@@alvallac2171 this aint school

sega loves to do that all the time

Apparently you can run a lot of emulators on smart watches.

Do you work for sega?

@@fattiger6957 Oh easily, stuff like the Apple Watch have some very capable processors

More like 10 times

Asians have tiny fingers..

this was supposed to be sold only in a sega show held in japan, more like a keychain with playable games other than a mini game console, for diehard sega fans in japan, but because of covid19 they had to cancel the show and thus it is now being sold online in japan

Maybe the third one will be juuuuuust right?

did you mean kanji?

@@ergonomics_of_flatulence No way they put kanji in Game Gear games, did they?

Its not hard at all. The screen is the nicest part of the system actually

@@sweet_sukeban4022 Wow, surprising. I have an OLED Vita and it's hard to read kanji in Persona 4 Golden, so I figured even kana would be a pain on that tiny screen.

Ah yes because an iPhone and this toy have the same shit inside

And the Game Gear micro is water resistant certified.

Josh Frye so is iPhone haha

@@DrMario_666 Indeed, iPhone is water resistant, as in resistant to any water that is at least one meter away from it. Any closer and your warranty is void due to water damage.

@@DrMario_666 found the iPhone shill

Even without cart support and tv out, that would have been great. The GG has a special place in my heart cause its the only handheld I had as a kid. But, I don't think Sega wanted to put too much effort into this. It was only released in Japan, after all.

First words are "mama" and "game gear micro"

What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?

Spawn Wave*

Lost WEENGS lol it sounds kinda weird to refer to him as Spawn Wave in this sense lol maybe I should’ve just said his tweet, or your tweet as if I was commenting and talking to him

I think it's supposed to still come out in December, but just like I though people forgot about it in all the next gen hype. A month after both next gen consoles is seriously the worst time to launch it.

So you can play without batteries. There's no internal battery.

@@sweet_sukeban4022 thanks. Didn't see any charging brick or cable in the unboxing, so I wasn't sure if that was the case.

@referral madness yeah lol
