The Mega 95 brings back the spirit of Sega’s last handheld system ever. Hyperkin has unveiled the portable console, which acts like a Sega Nomad in its ability to play Genesis cartridges. But the Mega 95 also takes inspiration from Nintendo Switch in plugging into a dock to bring the old 16-bit games to a TV screen as well.
The Verge reports Hyperkin hasn’t given the Mega 95 a release date or price point yet. The company does sell a similar handheld system for Super Nintendo cartridges–called the SupaBoy–that retails for $120. However, it doesn’t have a dock.

Featuring a 5-inch screen, the Mega 95 can apparently switch between widescreen 16:9 and retro 4:3 displays for Genesis games. The battery life for the portable system is estimated to last 10 hours.
