Only four games? LOL Game Gear never really appealed to me. I preferred the Atari Lynx.

Hey, Atari! Release a Lynx mini with the entire library, please.


Yep. Four games on each system. So if you collect all four, You're basically paying $200 for 16 game gear games.

It's a nice reminder of why we really don't want Sega back in the hardware business.

Atari Lynx? I'd pay big bucks for an Atari Lonk.

Well, old-school Atari was all about cats. Modern 'Atari" could be about sheep, I suppose. LOL

Plague tale is also high on my playlist. It'll have to wait a little longer though, my download cap refreshes halfway the month.

Wow. What an absolute disappointment that big Sega announcement turned out to be. An impossibly small system to play four lacklustre games on that cost $50. How and why did this ever get off the drawing board? Yikes.

I'm looking forward to The Legend of Zedley: A Lonk to the Past.

Oh wait, there is more. Apparently the real big announcement from Sega is some sort of cloud-based fog arcade gaming. Maybe that's going to be important in Japan, I have no idea.

I don't know why, but I love that it's called 'fog'

What the. $50 with all games on them would be an okay novelty item, I suppose. Or $15 each with 4...

Lol.

Looks about the same as the GBA micro, and that was perfectly fine.  Tiny, but fine.

Of course I'm only comparing dimensions here. 4 pre loaded games for $50 is a rip-off.

That report about Take Two coaxing individual devs from the Kerbal Space Program 2 project to come work for them after they themselves took away development of the game from said developer because the studio founders didn't agree on Take Two's offer to buy out the studio is just so very wrong.

TakeTwo: hey, we like your work for us and we want to buy you for a dozen eggs!

founders: we want at least 2 dozen eggs for this studio we put the last so many years of our lives in!

TakeTwo: sorry, cant do.  We'll just not let you work for us anymore, forcing you into bancrupcy and then take all your staff who will be fearing to fall without income in these insecure times so they can make the exact same game for us!

That their contract didn't foresee and prevent such a scenario is mindboggling.

I don't know, for 2 businesses that are working together under contract on a project, that is a very sleazy thing to do.

I struggle with the Switch controls so I will stay away from this.  I mean I was gonna stay away from it anyway, but more incentive to.
