Back in July, Sega announced it was coming out with a new version of their miniature Genesis console. The original Genies Mini, released in 2019, came with over 40 titles and two three button controllers. The new version, slated for an October 27 2022 release, comes with 60 pre-loaded titles and a six button controller.
The Genesis Mini 2 boasts better hardware and storage, enough now that it can hold Sega CD games. Speaking of titles, Sega has just released the names and format of the 60 titles launching with the Genesis Mini 2. The following is a list of standard games and their original format.
That’s a lot of Sega classics. However, we see a few more titles included that might pique the interest of game historians and collectors. The new mini console comes with a few games that were never ported and even one that was never released.
I have to admit that Herzog Zwei, Phantasy Star II, Shining in the Darkness and Shining force make this one hard to resist, personally. It’s going to be another expensive fall for Jason!
