Sega's getting back into the games hardware business with the preposterously useless Game Gear Micro.



Comes with buttons that are demonstrably too small for anyone older than 5 to be able to use, and a 29mm display that is literally smaller than your average wristwatch.  But don't worry, they have a separate attachment that clips onto it and makes the screen actually visible to the human eye!  But you can only get it if you pre-order all four versions of the thing and buy them all at $45 a pop.   Also there's only four games preloaded on each model, so if for some reason you just had to have this thing, but also wanted to be able to play both Sonic the Hedgehog and Shining Force, you still have to buy multiple units!

Everything about this is hilariously awful and I can't imagine what could have possibly convinced them this was a good business model.

Yea Sega STILL does what Nintendon't, apparently.

Nintendo makes a GameBoy Micro, was a BAD idea at the time. Sega doing the exact same thing many years later. STILL bad idea.
While the novelty is (somewhat) interesting, they're just wasting money on unplayable equipment.

Since nobody else posted it and it has to do with gaming to a degree I post this here.... the Legend has returned for the 60th anniversary of Sega. Ö_Ö

I guess we'll know more then but that's a very awkward looking controller going by the outline, looks like something Mad Catz would have put out in the PS2 era.

Actually with no defined triggers showing there on the sides it looks kinda like a PSP, devolved back into a controller.

Never mind, there's a different photo with a better outline on social media, it's still fairly normal controller-y.

Leaked spoiler for a certain Vita game (and it's prequel which is not shown in the link) to be announced at The PC Gaming Show.


Holy shit! It's finally happening!

Don’t care about the pc gaming show but if there’s one game out of the entire Shin Megmui Tensi series that needs to be brought to the Switch as soon as possible then this is the game.

Not content with just reviving their failed handheld, Sega announces a revival of their failed mascot!



Japes aside this doesn't look half bad.

Well the closet of forgotten IPs at Sega is getting less crowded. Pretty excited for this one.

Back to the announcement of the new Metal Slug titles, this teaser showed up, apparently for the mobile game:

The fact Miles Morales is getting his own game 2 years after the success of Spider-Man into the Spiderversere is pretty much a well deserved achievement. Hope it does well as the Ps4 Spiderman game.



Oh look its GTA V on ps5 (said no one ever)



Its sure not Final Fantasy but it is interesting to see Square Enix involved with the event.



Hopefully some lessons were learned from the last game cause this might be the Ratchet and Clank game yet. (Also there's no movie adaptation that's not basically just all of the cutscenes from the game so that's a win.



Basically Dead Space meets Groundhog Day. That's a winner in my book.



Basically Rocket League but with a Demolition Derby paintjob.



The first official Little Big Planet spinoff on home consoles is the Super Mario 3d World I never knew I needed.



Oddworld fans rejoice as an direct sequel to Abe's Odyssey comes to the Ps5



The big turnoff for me that it's in First-Person. At least we have official game footage now. No excuses here.



The first Ps5 game to be revealed before this event. And its already better than Colonel Marines (yep I'm calling it right now. Don't screw this one up Gearbox)



Basically a given to see a new instalment of Gran Turismo in the early life of a new Playstation.



A new Ip from the developers of Hyper Light Drifter (and if you haven't played HLD yet its defiantly worth picking up)



Well I guess my purchase of Dark Souls on my Switch will totally be justified (since i'm getting it on sale this weekend)



Insert Jill sandwich joke here.



Fans of the Dishonored series will enjoy this title made by the same developers.



If it wasn't for Kickstarter this game wouldn't get the spotlight it deserves (true story btw)



Need to play a little bit more of Zero Dawn before I can get more excited.



No matter what model you get, this game is built in the system free of charge.



Looks like I have to pick up Hitman 2 sooner than later.



And finally a brand new IP......... from Capcom of all people.

Overall the presentation proves that the library is lookin good for the Ps5. But something feels wrong when the controller looks better than the console itself. At least it looks better than whatever the Xbox series x design is.

Another Resident Evil Egoshooter I will Skip, I hope the Remake of 4 will be good and sell well, because I want a freaking code Veronica Remake. Ö_Ö

GTA V for PS5... How great... :shifty:

GT 7 looks absurdly beautiful, amazing!
Hitman 3 aswell and damn, a game starring Miles Morales finally! :D

Also a new Oddworld game? HELL YEAH!!!

Another Resident Evil Egoshooter I will Skip,

Me too. This RE8 looks like a mix of RE4 with Outlast 2.

The only thing that interested me is Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Looks like Peter Parker is taking a back seat for this adventure.

I want Capcom to stop churning out Resident Evil remakes and remember they have other franchises.

It's only a spin off/extension of the main game. The actual sequel with Peter Parker is slated for release next year.
