GameSpot's Managing Editor Peter Brown said in his Mega Sg review: "While roughly $200 is a lot to spend on a console to play Genesis games, right now, the Mega Sg is the easiest way to get them up and running on a modern TV without sacrificing audio or video quality-the support for Master System and Sega CD games is the icing on the cake." You can always get yourself Analogue's Mega Sg. If you're interested in playing Sega Genesis on a modern HDTV, there's another option out there too. But bear in mind that you're able to change the language of your Genesis Mini to access foreign versions of certain games.

It's worth noting that Japan's version of the console has a slightly different roster with several exclusive games only released in that country. With 42 titles in all, you can see all of the games included in the console below. Aside from maybe Digital Eclipse, there are few other studios you'd want handling a task such as this. What makes the Sega Genesis Mini so notable is the fact that all the games included are being ported by developer M2, a studio known for its fantastic first-party production quality emulation of classic games. Sega will also sell a six-button controller which is useful for games like Street Fighter II. In addition, the system includes two classic three-button controllers, a USB-to-Micro-B power cable, a power adaptor, and an HDMI cable. The Genesis Mini's design is based on the Model 1 Genesis and is about 55 percent smaller than the original. As you can read about in our Genesis Mini review, it looks good, has a nice selection of games, and those games play well. As its name implies, the nostalgic console will collect some of the biggest and best 16-bit era games.įortunately, given a history of disappointing aftermarket Genesis consoles, this one is quite good.

On September 19, Sega will debut its Genesis Mini (or Mega Drive Mini, for those in Europe and Japan).

We're fast approaching the release of the next miniature classic console.
