This Game Gear really is micro. I know we have gotten used to playing games on our phones, but this is even smaller. Honestly we do not think the micro size is the real problem with this.
Rather the problem we see with this is you only get four games for each one. If you want access to all sixteen games, then you need to buy them all.
Sega missed the mark here. They would have been better off making one slightly larger and adding a few more games to ti. They have not released it for the Western Market so things may change.
Especially if the sales do not go as planned.
