(Apologies if this was posted already, but I searched and didn't see anything.)

I think there's definitely a niche market for a low specs/low price handheld for 2D retro-style games. Here's hoping the rumor is true!

a company that’s done licensed Sega hardware before

this is interesting. where the mega drive and gg mini hardware done in house by SEGA? because unless that was another company that they could recontract, the only other companies i can think of are TecToy, who were making functional non-emulation Master Systems well into the 2000s for South America, and AtGames, who the less said about, the better.

if SEGA Forever had been a bit later, they could have just licensed SEGA-branded Anbernic Arc-Ds. it's a shame that initiative fizzled out so quickly

No they were just cheap third party licensed devices.
