The Sega Genesis Mini 2 does more than just re-introduce titles we’ve already seen. Two games are entirely unreleased and are making their first appearance: “Devi & Pii” and “Star Mobile.” If you want to buy the console, you’ll need to shop on Amazon Japan, and costs around $120 if you ship it to the United States, where $99 is the cost of the console and the shipping adds roughly an extra $20-$22. Nintendo’s similar nostalgia-fueled release, the SNES Classic Edition, was initially priced at $79.99, but that one only came with 21 games as opposed to the sixty you’re getting with the Sega.
Some of the games we’re going to see in the fall include not just “Sonic the Hedgehog” but also “Sonic 3D” alongside beat ’em up classics like “Super Street Fighter 2,” “Streets of Rage 3,” “Midnight Resistance,” and “Clayfighter.” The Sega CD games are well-represented with “Ecco the Dolphin” and “Ecco: The Tides of Time,” “Final Fight CD,” and “Shining Force CD.” You can also go back to space and shoot some spaceships with “Hellfire” or control an attack chopper in “Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf.”
There are also titles that likely gave us nightmares when they first came out, including “Splatterhouse 2” and the once highly controversial 1992 game “Night Trap.” The latter title was one of the key topics during the 1993 United States Senate committee hearing that pertained to violent video games, but by today’s standards, it’s quite tame — which is not to say that you should hand it to your four-year-old. The lineup has something in it for everyone, so if you’re a fan of retro games, keep an eye out on Amazon Japan to pick up the upcoming — decidedly non-disappointing — console.
