Bunkerneath To be fair, the NES and SNES classic both had great lineups that covered many of the more famous games on the platforms. Bomberman64 because most of us go as legit as companies allow us. I have every mini console released to date. Both versions of the switch. 4 different DS. Multiple game boys. Two ps2s, two GameCubes, n64, two xbox OGS, two 360s, a ps4 pro, XSX, xb1s, ps5… OG megadrive… ps1… and more on top… over well over 2000 phyiscal games and well over 1000 digital games. I think I support the industry heavily. Have I “set sail” yes…. I’m not sure why you assume someone that has “set sail” has no place on an article like this. TMNT: Hyperstone Heist (I would have considered this an impossibility before the Cowabunga Collection was announced. Remember how Contra Hard Corps was released on Mini 1 after the Contra Collection was released?) The Mini became an essential buy in a hurry — such a fantastic collection of games that reflect a different take on the breadth of the Genesis/Mega Drive experience than prior compilations (still sorely missing EA sports titles or the likes of NBA Jam; but nothing to be done on that front / they may not hold up), with platinum-level rarities like Wiley Wars and now Tetris (!) / Darius really pushing this above-and-beyond even Big N's mini efforts (the less said about Sony's dismal foray into the mini craze, the better).

I’ll be all over this. The first Mega Drive mini was probably the best of all the mini consoles, even better than the SNES one. I actually did get myself the Japanese version of the Mega Drive Mini, mostly because it came with the six-button controllers, but also because I specifically wanted to play Madou Monogatari I. So I don't even mind if Popful Mail is only in the JP release - I'll just get the JP version. The full Japanese lineup was revealed via a Famitsu livestream featuring legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro himself. The Japanese version of the plug-and-play console has a couple of deep cuts and rare titles for fans - here's the full list of 42 games the console will have when it launches September this year, with the absolute exclusives at the top followed by the games only available on the two Asian variants: Mega Drive Mini - Complete Japanese Games List okay, for that joke, apparently the MEGADRIVERS line is in both, but the 68000 line is an extra line in the Japanese)SNES mini was a great mini, which i still need to own. i'm not worried at all about Genesis mini. weather or not they don't add my one and only request game. there's other games to look forward to and trying out. antonvaltaz Okay, got it! I never got the other versions since I have the original consoles and all the games I want, except Golden Axe 3. So I'll be passing on this anyway but worth knowing why it's getting the hype, thanks! I was fourteen when PlayStation launched, and a total Nintendo/Sega fanboy! PlayStation managed to grab my complete and undivided attention, at least until the Dreamcast arrived. I didn’t care for the N64. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t care how good your first party games are. If your third party support is garbage, I won’t support you. Tempestryke My impression was that no other company dared to do a serious attempt until Nintendo came and did one. I'm prett much not counting the atGames consoles for sega systems. I mean by all means, Sega can beat the competition to it and I'd be happy. Nintendo have indeed done two generations but the hardware inside the mini consoles was the same so I'd feel Sega would be much more likely to make a Master System mini before a Saturn, let alone a DreamCast. Not sure what a SoC capable of running Saturn would cost right now either.

I feel like the opportunity has passed on this one. I would have been more excited about an announcement actually involving the New Japan Pro Wrestling license, which this seems to have absolutely nothing to do with. A second Mini like this isn't quite as good for me but it's a bonus all the same as I never expected another. Yes I could just mod my original but I tend not to mess with anything like that, no matter how simple it may be.Update: Sega has confirmed the next 10 games for the upcoming Genesis / Mega Drive Mini in the west. They are: Solid lineup, at least from the perspective of someone who grew up with an NES and an N64, and played a few Genesis titles through the Sonic MEGA Collection on GameCube (though it is missing Ristar and S3&K, though I guess there's enough Sonic on offer) Finally, as if that wasn't enough, there's also a third variant that the rest of Asia outside Japan will receive. This version includes a mix of games from the Japanese and western consoles, plus five region exclusives. Mega Drive Mini - Complete Asian Games List
