The upcoming release of the Sega Genesis Mini is shaping up to be one of Sega’s biggest and best products in years. Assuming the emulation is accurate, there’s very little left to complain about (Outside of the decision of including the 3-button controller over the far superior 6).

The Sega Genesis Mini classic console is set for launch in on Sept. 19th 2019. In North America, the Genesis will be sold for $79.99, in Europe the Mega Drive equivalent will cost €69.99 (or €79.99 including two controllers). Both regions come packaged with the original 3-button controllers, which is a bummer for those excited to play games like Street Fighter II. But hey, at least 6 button controllers from Retro Bit will be available for purchase separately.
what do you think of the game list thus far, and are you planning on picking one of these bad boys up at retail come September? Sound off in the comments below!
