SEGA

Brand announces reduced game console with classic game packages 

in honor of its 60th anniversary, Sega announced the relaunch of the Portable Game Gear game console. Unlike the original device of 1990, the novelty has a more compact body size and fits in your pocket. In addition, you can not insert cartridges into it – you can only run pre-installed games.

The set of platform games and RPGs preinstalled in Sega Game Gear will depend on the color of the case. Four games will be pre-installed in each version:

-Black: Sonic The Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo, Out Run and Royal Stone;
-Blue: Sonic Chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Sylvan Tale and Baku Baku Animal; yellow: Shining Force Gaiden, Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya, Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict and Nazo Puyo Arle no Roux;

-Red: Revelations: The Demon Slayer, Megami Tensei Gaiden: last Bible special, The G. G. Shinobi and columns.

The width of the portable decoder is 80 millimeters. The diagonal of the screen is 1.15 inches with a resolution of 240 × 180 pixels. Those who find this small screen size can order the four models and get an accessory called "Big Window Micro" as a gift. In fact, this is a magnifying glass used in the console and displays a large-format image.
In addition, the device is equipped with a standard joystick, two buttons, a small speaker and a headset. Two AAA batteries are required for Operation.
The new version of Game Gear will go on sale on October 6, but only in Japan. The cost of the device will be about $ 50.
The Sega Game Gear was first introduced in 1990 and was positioned as a rival to the Nintendo Game Boy. In total, 233 games in the US and 196 in Europe and Japan were released for the console. Due to low demand, sales of the device were discontinued in 1997.
