This set will include a Big Window Micro as a bonus. The Big Window Micro itself is a miniature version of the Big Window accessory that was released for the original Game Gear that enlarged the screen.

The original console may not have gotten exceptionally positive critical response, but it seems like a quaint idea to revisit the games of yore on its more or less “intended” format.
