SEGA and Funstock have announced a new item as part of the gaming company's 60th Anniversary with the SEGA Astro City Mini Console. The console technically isn't new, there have been a couple of reviewers who have gotten their hands on a copy to talk about it. But now the console is ready for pre-order going for almost $180. The console comes with 37 classic SEGA titles, which you can play on a 4" screen with a specialized joystick and six buttons (for those of you who enjoy fighting titles), on this 1/6 scale true reproduction of the original console. If you're not down to just play the mini version, there's an HDMI port for you to hook it up to an HDTV. You can pre-order it at the link above as we have more info on it here, with the official release date set for May 28th, 2021.
