There's a handheld Sega Mega Drive device in the works

A handheld Sega Mega Drive, known as the Mega 95 and which plays original carts, has been announced by accessory maker Hyperkin.

As reported by to The Verge, this portable device is based on the company’s MegaRetroN HD Gaming Console, which is also compatible with the Sega Mega Drive.

The Mega 95 is equipped with a five-inch display, which users can toggle to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 modes. As for its battery life – an ever important question for any handheld device – according to Hyperkin, it should last for 10 hours per charge.

Much like Nintendo’s hybrid Switch console, the Mega 95 also comes with a docking station, so players can use it with their TV if they’d prefer to see things on a bigger screen. In addition, it has extra ports for additional controllers (see image below).
