@Rubiksmoose 4 different colors, each one has 4 games bundled. Each one should be about 35€/$ (4k yen). Could be a cute collector item, but it doesn't seem something you would want to play a lot.

Also that price target... quite expensive for just 4 games.

Game Gear Micro Black:
-Sonic The Hedgehog (platform)
-Out Run (racing)
-Royal Stone (rpg? text intensive)
-Puyo Puyo Tsu (puzzle)

Game Gear Micro Blue
- Sonic & Tails (platform - known as Sonic Chaos outside Japan. Weird choice, why not Sonic 2??)
- Gunstar Heroes (platform/shooter - think Contra)
- Sylvan Tale (Zelda like, probably text intensive)
- Baku Baku Animal Sekai Shiikugakari Senshuken (puzzle game)

Game Gear Micro Yellow

it is a forced choice because those are the only two games in the series to be available on Game Gear

still weird if you ask me. I don't get why they choose that specific game franchise.

Also, some basic math.

A single color set is 4,980 yen - (45$).

You can buy the 4 color set for ~~4,980 yen * 4 = 19,920 yen~~ 29,980 yen which (with a small 10k yen extra charge) will include for free an additional magnifying glass so that you can try and make your eyes hurt a little less when you play the thing.

> Sega also announced that it will sell a four-color set for 29,980 yen, which will include a Big Window Micro as a special bonus. Big Window Micro is a miniature version of the Big Window accessory released for the original Game Gear that enlarges the screen

Big Window Micro... special bonus. OOOOOOOOK.

anyway, 29,980 yen... 275 $. You can buy four separate Game Gear Micro and get a "free-that-you-actually-paid-90$" special piece of glass.....

Or you can buy a Switch.

Oh. I see

the various gaming sites didn't mention it, but it seems that the 4 colors collector set does include another extra - some small replicas of the original game boxes.

Still overpriced IMHO, but.. it is something.
