The Game Gear Micro is discussed by its developers in this interview.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
A new game is coming to the Neo Geo and Dreamcast. Gladmort is heavily influenced by classics such as Ghost 'N Goblins and will be just as challenging.
Had fun playing the demo on PC yesterday after seeing it on Youtube. You can find it on their kickstarter page, which is linked in the article.
"We decided that we can milk even more money out of Nostalgia-led consumers by making 4 seperate Micro Game Gears each with 4 different games apiece. That way, these fools will have to buy all 4 Micro Game Gears in order to play the 16 games that are being released in total. If there's one thing they know over at Sega, it's how to be sucessful and stay successful in the console-making business" /s
