Sega’s already given its seal of approval to a few Genesis / Mega Drive-based handhelds, but never one like this new “Retro Gen” device from Innex, which makes use of actual, dust-collecting cartridges instead of just some mere on-board memory. Of course, not everyone has a stack of Genesis carts at their disposal (a sad state, indeed), so the handheld also apparently comes pre-loaded with 20 unspecified games, and you’ll supposedly even be able to eventually load some “licensed ROMs” onto an SD card using a special cart. While it’s still not clear exactly how widespread of a release it’ll get, at least one retailer does already has it up for pre-order for just $49.99 (discounted from $59.99), and it’s promising a ship date of July 25th.
