Η Sega μόλις ανακοίνωσε ότι το Genesis Mini θα έρθει στα ράφια των καταστημάτων στις 19 Σεπτεμβρίου, συνοδευόμενο με 40 παιχνίδια. Από αυτά, έχουν ήδη επιβεβαιωθεί τα "Sonic 2", "Gunstar Heroes" και "Castlevania Bloodlines".
Last year, Sega had premiere her own miniature retro console to be able to compete with rival Nintendo and Sony, but unfortunately its release was delayed. Now the company στη φετινή Sega Fest, ανακοίνωσε ότι το Genesis Mini / Mega Drive Mini θα κυκλοφορήσει στις USA and in Japan on September 19.
Apparently, this console will have different, local versions of specific games. Among the 40 games it will have, the company has confirmed (at least in Japan) some classic games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Shining Force, Gunstar Heroes and Comix Zone, Space Harrier II, Puyo Puyo 2, Rent-a-Hero, Castlevania Bloodlines and Powerball.
Like in PlayStation Mini, η νέα κονσόλα θα τροφοδοτείται με ένα microUSB και θα διαθέτει έξοδο HDMI ικανή μέχρι και 720p ανάλυση. Το χειριστήριο θα είναι με έξι κουμπιά και θα αποτελεί μία version of the Genesis gamepad, preferred by most gamers. It will support saving at any point within a game, which Sega said could make it easier to play some games you never managed to finish in the 90s.
There will also be a reset button, but it will not work the same as the original system. Also, like other retro consoles, there does not seem to be support for downloads and obviously there is no cassette slot such as Analogue SG.
So far, we know only the prices that will apply in Japan and the console will cost 6.980 yen (about $ 60) with a control or 8.980 yen (about $ 80) with two controls.
