To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Mega Drive and the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast, a new collection of Sega-inspired microSD cards are set to hit Japan (with international shipping options).
As you can see, designs for the Mega Drive, Dreamcast, and Sega Saturn are available, with each card taking on the appearance of its respective system. In a way, getting one of these would make us sad that you hardly ever see your SD card tucked away inside your Switch console, but at least you'll know just how pretty it looks while it's working away.
Only 16GB versions of each card are available - so these might serve better as a bit of a novelty item rather than something to store your entire collection - and are priced at 1980 yen (approx. £13.60 / $17.70) before shipping. You can grab these from the official Sega online store or Yodobashi Camera in Japan, or from Amazon Japan if you're looking for international shipping options.
All cards are scheduled for release on 29th October, with pre-orders going live today.
Are you tempted by these? Or will you be sticking with your super-fancy 512GB giant SD card? Let us know below, and feel free to check out 'Best Micro SD Cards For Nintendo Switch' guide for buying advice and lots of purchase options.

I just love that Mega Drive card.
This microSD cards are more fitted for a New 3DS since you don't need that much memory in that system unless you go full digital, but anyways I take the beautiful Dreamcast one and it also comes with the VMU as the actual microSD really nice detail
No.
I prefer Classic Nintendo machine images such as Super Famicom, Gamecube, Wii, NDS, etc.
128/256 GB yes please but 16 GB is kinda wasted...
I want that VMU one.
@Anti-Matter No love for Sega?
These look amazing, particularly the MD Mk.I but at 16GB these are too small to even be useful in my phone. Shame as if they came in larger sizes I'd pick one up.
Pointless.
They are amazing, not sure about the arcade controllers on the mini SDs for Mega Drive and Saturn, but the VMU with Dreamcast is brilliant.
As echoed above, shame they are only 16GB
Woah dang hay, I'd rather have a super beefy card for my Switch, but I just might have to get that Sega Saturn one of my camera instead.
Between this and the edible logo, you're really listening to what the fans want, SEGA.
jk get your heads out of your poop chutes and start publishing dead franchises
a proper phantasy star
virtual on
legend of oasis/thor
shining FORCE (you idiots don't need to make it a fuggin jpop musical, just make it a compelling medieval fantasy, christ)
Panzer dragoon (a quadrilogy redux would be great, though good luck ripping the assets from saga. just build a modern one from scratch)
landstalker
house of the dead
virtua fighter
Not godda¥n memory cards. You're killing me, smalls.
Looks great. I like the look of the mega drive sd card
These do look neat, but really how often are you going to see the designs. I don't really switch my SD cards back and forth between devices perhaps others do. Lovely designs just don't seem worth the premium
These just look like neat little collectibles and that's it, something to keep in the packaging.
You won't even appreciate the design on the microSD once it's inserted into a device.

About SEGA.
SEGA was not my childhood.
But, i play certain SEGA games / Arcades such as Puyo Puyo Tetris , MaiMai Milk Plus Arcade, Mario & Sonic 2014 Wii U.
Oh man, I really want these. Beautiful. 16GB is a shame though, so I'd be more likely to use them on my camera than my Switch.
I love the idea of my Switch nesting a baby Dreamcast inside of it, hiding it from its fathers at Nintendo because it did not want to dishonour it’s family name.
They look cool, but come on SEGA, don't worry about SD Cards; fulfill the prophecy, right the wrong, get your redemption and your vindication......... make a frigging Dreamcast 2 😉 (a guy can "dream" right lol?)
Atleast they haven't got the brand tax like the Nintendo branded mini sd cards.
Oh, wait, they do. 16 gig mini sd cards go for under £10, lol.

2018: Mario and Zelda games on one's "Sega Genesis".
If a time machine is ever made and trolls get a hold of one, they already have all the material they need.
Still waiting for Eternal Arcadia on a HD era system.
@nhSnork Heck just show a 1992 kid the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle case.
I tried to preorder the Mega Drive one on Amazon JP, but it seems to be one of those items that aren't eligible for international shipping (to the UK at least).
I'll just store all my games on a 400GB micro sd card...
I mean you never see these when you are using them, they spend all their time inside your console.
Hmm, Sony should release a Vita inspired one with only 8GB that costs $40.
@stalepie More like $100+ for 32GB... still feeling the burn from that one.
