The 1990s have officially returned.

Hasbro announced the comeback of Tiger Electronics LCD hand-held video game systems, due out this fall and available for preorder now at GameStop, reports Gizmodo.

The original systems — staples in the ’90s toy industry long before smartphones — were simple, mostly single-screen games produced for a variety of media property and franchises.

Hasbro revealed four titles for the nostalgic gadget, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Disney’s Little Mermaid, Marvel X-Men Project X and Transformers Generation 2, which will retail for $15 each — a fraction of the cost of the portable Nintendo Switch Lite, which goes for $200.

The new games will be revamped versions of their ’90s counterparts, according to Gizmodo, and are set to debut at the 2020 Toy Fair at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York this weekend. Hasbro also said it will relaunch Mall Madness, a popular board game from the same decade.

Tiger’s LCD handhelds are among the most recent entries in the ’90s nostalgia wave, including the return of the beloved snack Dunkaroos and the reboot of TV game show “Legends of the Hidden Temple.”
