Review: Love it - This is a really unique product. It is weird that it is missing the "greatest hits" of the Genesis but makes sense in the context that this is meant as an addition to the original Genesis Mini. The price is also higher by $40 if you factor in shipping so i can see how this is not for everyone. However, i can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who had a Genesis back in the day or is interested in exploring the library a little deeper. They do make up for it by giving you 60 titles vs the original's 40. the titles picked here are a mix of some of the best games on the system - Earthworm Jim 2, Fatal Fury 2, Golden Axe 2, Lightening Force, Ranger-X, Shadow Dancer, Shining Force II, Streets of Rage 3, Splatterhouse 2, Super Street Fighter 2, Revenge of Shinobi, Vector Man 2... and some deep cuts that people may not be familiar but are still incredible - Alien Soldier, Crusader of Centy (itself a $1000 game), Elemental Master, Midnight Resistance, Ristar etc. SO many of these games cost hundreds by themselves. There are also a few games which may not have aged well but are fascinating vignettes into Sega's Arcade lineup that were responsible for the console's early success and reputation as a processing powerhouse - After Burner II, OutRun, Super Hang On, Virtua Racing. There are definitely some hidden gems as well, Rolling Thunder 2, Herzog Zwei, Warsong, The Ooze all come to mind. BTW, Warsong and Populous look fantastic on a modern screen and a pleasure to play! Of course another huge draw is the inclusion of some of the best Sega CD games (and some of the worst). Sonic CD is arguably the best Sonic game of the 16 bit generation with an incredible soundtrack and gameplay which promotes exploration vs speeding through levels. Shining Force CD is Strategy RPG royalty. Final Fight CD is the best home version of the classic beat em up and Robo Aleste tops is the cherry on top of the already incredible Shmup lineup here. In fact, if you like shmups, this is a must have as it has arguably all the best ones on the console, missing only MUSHA and Android Assault. Even the "awful" FMV games are a fun throwback and interesting history lesson in what we all thought was the future of gaming in 1993. I concede that this mini alone isn't an adequate slice of the console's incredible library, but neither is the first mini. With 60 games everyone is bound to find something they love (the reviewer who gave this 1 star is insane). Between the best shmups of the 16 bit era, some of the best beat em ups, fighting games, RPGs and excellent arcade ports - this is an all star lineup. Another perk is because of the Sega CD games, this console has a lot more storage than the first mini and if you dont mind removing some of the "bad" FMV Sega CD games, you can hack and load it up with practically the entire Genesis library. At $120 it is a luxury purchase for sure, especially since with very little effort one can play every 90s cartridge game on a Wii for a fraction of the price. But if you love official hardware and/or a fan of Sega at its peak, this is a fantastic little package (and it IS little, the box is about half the size of the original mini). A+, would buy again. P.S. I didn't bother reviewing the actual hardware, but it's of fantastic quality and i really appreciate the inclusion of a 6 button USB controller which is IDENTICAL to the original (this is good) as well as power adapter which none of the other mini consoles come with.
Review: Great performing Retro System - If you are Retro gaming fan and are looking to avoid acquiring pricey original hardware and game cartridges this system along with the first edition Mini Genesis is sure to please with the wide game selection and simple plug and play interface makes this a joyful experience. Highly recommend getting both mini systems to get over 100 great Genesis and Sega CD games to scratch that Nostalgic itch. Cant go wrong with built in memory to save game data wherever you want with the system interface at a click of 1 button and resume right away. Very satisfied with this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this play sega cartridges (or an everdrive one)?**
A: Just so no one is confused by Joe M's facetious answer: no, this does not take original Sega cartridges, and there never will be an expansion module to let it directly read those cartridges.  It reads game files off of internal flash memory or an inserted SD card or USB drive; a number of games come preloaded, and, if you legally own other ROMs and have the means to get them into the Genesis Mini, then you can expand the collection, but you can't plug original cartridges into this device.

"Joe M" was flippantly referring to Sega's habit of selling expensive add-on devices for their consoles (such as the Sega CD and 32X modules for the Genesis/MegaDrive).  Incidentally, in Japan they have sold non-functioning add-ons that make a Genesis Mini look like it has an attached Sega CD, 32X, or Game Genie, but those were purely decorative and did not accept original cartridges or CDs.

**Q: Why is it shipping from amazon japan? i thought it was the na version. its like $21.99 for shipping.**
A: Sega made the decision to have them only come from Japan due to the semiconductor shortages etc.

**Q: This is sold and shipped by amazon japan. will there be a version that is sold by amazon.com?**
A: Not ttue.  Amazon US treats Amazon Japan as a third party seller.  So if you need a refund when shipping from Japan gets wonky you cant get assistance.

**Q: Why 22 bucks to ship?**
A: Shipping cost cost because it is being Shipped over seas. That what Japan cost to ship.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6-Button Pad is better than Retro-Bits
*by P***Y on October 31, 2022*

Solid unit. It is one of the better minis. I own the Genesis Mini 1 and was using 2 of Retro-Bit's 6-Button pads with it and I was okay with them. I have never tried the Mega Drive Mini 1 (Japan) 6-buttons before. The one that comes packed in with this Genesis 2 Mini is really, really nice. Superior to the one's that Retro-Bit sell for 20 bucks. I wish this Mini came with 2 of these pads. The usb plug is even branded "SEGA" like the first models 3-Buttons, and unlike Retro-Bits. I think everything else has already been said about this unit online. Its clearly the Mega Drive unit with no power light indicator and a toggle switch power button with genesis branding, but, I'm happy we got this at any rate. The Power Switch on the unit feels more solid than the first models switch. It even comes with a USB power brick, I would recommend this unit to people who collect the various mini systems, or someone wanting a quality stocking stuffer for the retro gamer. DRAXXON EDIT - I see the Retro-Bit Sega pads are disappearing fast. I have tried the Genesis Mini 1's 3-Button Pads, the Retro-Bit 6 and 8-Button Genesis pads and even the Retro-Bit Sega Saturn pads, and they all work fine with the Genesis Mini 2. (Press Start+X for the Menu Button on Sega Saturn style pads).
