Sega has announced the Game Gear Micro — a mini version of its retro console

Sega has announced the re-release of the retro Game Gear console. The new device is called Game Gear Micro. And it’s very tiny!

Only 8.8 cm by 4.3 cm. The diagonal of the screen is 2.9 cm.

At retail, the console will be available in four color options: blue, yellow, red and black. The color of the console will depend on the set of pre-installed games. For example, owners of the black version will receive Sonic The Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo Tsu, Out Run and Royal Stone.

It will be possible to collect all the games only by buying a full pack of consoles. For the purchase of the entire set, the user will also receive a magnifying screen.

The launch of a new line of gadgets is timed to coincide with the company’s anniversary: this year Sega turns 60 years old.

The devices will go on sale on October 6 only in Japan. The approximate date of the global release is not called. The mini version of Game Gear will cost about $45.

The original 8-bit Sega Game Gear was released from 1990 to 1997. Over 400 games have been created for her.
