SEGA Reveals Another 10 Titles For Its Mega Drive/Genesis Mini Console

by Rainier on May 16, 2019 @ 8:15 p.m. PDT

SEGA announced it's SEGA Genesis Mini/SEGA Mega Drive Mini retro console, bringing back forty 16-bit games in a miniaturized version of the original console.

The SEGA Genesis Mini (SEGA Mega Drive Mini in Europe) is based on the original Model 1 Genesis which launched in Oct. 1988 in Japan, Aug. 1989 in North America, and Nov. 1990 everywhere else, and is approximately 55% of the original Model 1 size.

The Genesis Mini comes complete with 40 games, Two replica three-button USB Genesis controllers, One USB to Micro-B power cable, One power adapter (North America only), and One HDMI cable.

M2 is handling the porting process. They've previously worked on SEGA AGES and SEGA 3D Classics Collection, with a  reputation based on the quality of their emulation projects and their faithfully recreated ports.


 Yes, that's right! Capcom is about to bring the hurt with our next set of games coming to the SEGA Genesis Mini. Once exclusive to the SEGA Channel in North America, Mega Man: The Wily Wars, a compilation of the first three Mega Man entries, finds a new home on SEGA Genesis Mini!

The Blue Bomber will have some competition, though, because here comes a new challenger - Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition - one of the greatest fighting games of all time.

Speaking of which, we're also happy to announce the Retro-Bit SEGA Genesis and SEGA Mega Drive 6-button controller will be released in late August with a price point of $19.99. This will surely give you the ultimate advantage, especially on games like Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition, Comix Zone, and Beyond Oasis!

Rounding out the list, we have the notoriously challenging Ghouls 'n Ghosts®. In order to save the souls stolen by the evil Lucifer, the brave knight Arthur must fight off hordes of demons, and all that stands between him and certain death is a suit of armor.

SEGA has revealed the next 10 titles:

  1. Mega Man: The Wily Wars
  2. Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition
  3. Ghouls 'n Ghosts
  4. Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
  5. Beyond Oasis

  7. Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium

  10. Wonder Boy in Monster World
