The Advanced Pico Beena is the successor to the Sega Pico, though only released in Japan. It first came out August 6, 2005, and still has games in production to this day.

Like the Pico, the Advanced Pico Beena is a educational console system aimed at children between the ages of 2 and 8. Cartridges are book shaped, and games respond to inputs via the touch screen and magic pen.

Unlike the Pico there is an ability to play without a TV, graphics and sound are far more advanced, two players via a second pen is possible, there is also score ranking and playtime which can be set by a parent.

As with the Pico, the cartridges are book shaped, and each time a player turns the page of the cartridge the screen changes to replicate the image in the book. The games are controlled by a "magic" pen and buttons. The system has only been released in Japan. As of 2011, games are still being produced. The system is also compatible with SD cards.
