− | + | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (メガドライブミニ2), sold in North America as the '''Sega Genesis Mini 2''' (セガジェネシスミニ2), is a miniature [[Sega Mega Drive 2]] console with 60 built-in [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Mega-CD]] games. It was released in October 2022 worldwide as a successor to the [[Mega Drive Mini]]. | |
==Hardware== | ==Hardware== | ||
As a successor to the original Mega Drive Mini, the unit is designed to resemble the Sega Mega Drive 2 (or Sega Genesis Model 2) at 55% the size of the original, but is incompatible with any of the original games or controllers, relying solely on its built-in library of emulated games and slots for two USB peripherals. Video is output at 720p 60Hz via HDMI. | As a successor to the original Mega Drive Mini, the unit is designed to resemble the Sega Mega Drive 2 (or Sega Genesis Model 2) at 55% the size of the original, but is incompatible with any of the original games or controllers, relying solely on its built-in library of emulated games and slots for two USB peripherals.

− | The hardware for the Mega Drive Mini 2 is largely the same as its predecessor, though with larger internal storage to include Mega-CD games. Much like its predecessor, Sega acquired the rights to feature games by a variety of third-party publishers in the Mega Drive Mini 2, including the likes of [[Game Arts]], [[Namco]], [[Capcom]], [[Interplay]], [[Electronic Arts]] and [[Taito]]. | + | The hardware for the Mega Drive Mini 2 is largely the same as its predecessor, though with larger internal storage to include Mega-CD games.

The original plan was to create an entirely new mini console, though parts shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic led to those plans being shelved and the Mega Drive Mini 2 to be made instead. This also resulted in a smaller production run than the Mega Drive Mini, as well as limited retail distribution through Amazon. | The original plan was to create an entirely new mini console, though parts shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic led to those plans being shelved and the Mega Drive Mini 2 to be made instead.

The design of the North American and European models are not accurate to the design of the original systems as they use the Japanese model's power switch as opposed to a power button, likely to save manufacturing costs. The North American model was also sold in Japan as a separate product. |

− | The Mega Drive Mini 2 presents the user with a graphical interface displaying the covers of every game included on the system. Ten covers are displayed on the screen at a time, but the user can choose to display all games at once by pressing {{B}}, displaying their spines. The games can even be sorted alphabetically, by release date, by genre, by the number of supported players, or have Mega-CD games listed first. The menu music is once again composed by [[Yuzo Koshiro]]. | + | [[File:MegaDriveMini2 EU MenuScreen.png|thumb|right|The menu interface from the European system.]] |

Ten covers are displayed on the screen at a time, but the user can choose to display all games at once by pressing {{B}}, displaying their spines. The games can even be sorted alphabetically, by release date, by genre, by the number of supported players, by recently played, or have Mega-CD games listed first. The menu music is once again composed by [[Yuzo Koshiro]]. | ||
− | Changing the system language in the settings menu will also change the menu interface to match the selected language, changing to a Japanese Mega Drive-themed menu for Japanese, | + | Changing the system language in the settings menu will also change the menu interface to match the selected language, changing to a Japanese Mega Drive-themed menu for Japanese or Chinese, a Genesis-themed menu for English, French, Spanish or Korean (with the exception of European systems for these languages except Korean), and a PAL Mega Drive-themed menu for Italian and German. Most of the covers will also change to match those of the respective region, and alternate regional versions of the games can be played, however not all games have an alternate regional variant available and will remain the same. On the European system, most games are the North American versions, though a small number of games such as ''[[Robo Aleste]]'', ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'' and ''[[Soleil]]'' use the European versions though have the North American versions available via a menu that appears when starting the game or by changing the system language. |
− | During a game, the user can call up System Menu at any time. From this menu, the user can save their progress to a savestate, with each game supporting up to four savestates. | + | During a game, the user can call up System Menu at any time by pressing the {{Reset}} button on the console. From this menu, the user can save their progress to a savestate, with each game supporting up to four savestates. Savestates will also remember which region the game is set to, so if the system language is changed, and the savestate is loaded, the regional variant of the game that was played when the savestate was created will be loaded. The {{Mode}} button may also be used to open the System Menu, which can be configured in the settings to open the menu instantly (Quick Load) or to require the user to hold {{Mode}} for one or three seconds, or hold {{Start}} instead. Configuring this setting to any setting other than Quick Load will allow the {{Mode}} button to be used in games that have a use for it (e.g. to enable [[Vectorman 2/Hidden content#Free movement|free movement]] in ''[[Vectorman 2]]''). |
− | The settings menu gives the user the ability to alter the display in various ways. Games can be displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio or they can fill the entire screen, along with an optional CRT filter that blurs the image and displays scanlines.

Games can be displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio or they can fill the entire screen, along with an optional CRT filter that blurs the image and displays scanlines. When playing in a 4:3 ratio, the user can choose to have one of eight wallpapers displayed around the game screen to fill the blank space. The menu also includes a QR code that takes the user to a site hosting the original game manuals when scanned using a smartphone or tablet. New to the Mega Drive Mini 2 is a setting to choose between emulating the audio output of a Model 1 or Model 2 Mega Drive. Viewing the staff credits will display the [[Sega Mega-CD/Boot ROM|boot ROM]] screens in the background, with the type being determined by the user's language and sound settings (e.g. setting the language to Japanese and the sound setting to Model 1 will display the Japanese Model 1 boot ROM screen). |

The Mega Drive Mini 2 (メガドライブミニ2), sold in North America as the Sega Genesis Mini 2 (セガジェネシスミニ2), is a miniature Sega Mega Drive 2 console with 60 built-in Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD games. It was released in October 2022 worldwide as a successor to the Mega Drive Mini.
Contents
Hardware
As a successor to the original Mega Drive Mini, the unit is designed to resemble the Sega Mega Drive 2 (or Sega Genesis Model 2) at 55% the size of the original, but is incompatible with any of the original games or controllers, relying solely on its built-in library of emulated games and slots for two USB peripherals. Video is output at 720p 60Hz via HDMI.
The hardware for the Mega Drive Mini 2 is largely the same as its predecessor, though with larger internal storage to include Mega-CD games. Much like its predecessor, Sega acquired the rights to feature games by a variety of third-party publishers in the Mega Drive Mini 2, including the likes of Game Arts, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Capcom, Interplay, Electronic Arts and Taito.
The original plan was to create an entirely new mini console, though parts shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic led to those plans being shelved and the Mega Drive Mini 2 to be made instead. This also resulted in a smaller production run than the Mega Drive Mini, as well as limited retail distribution through Amazon.
All models, including the North American and European models, include only one USB Six Button Control Pad, though all controllers manufactured for the Mega Drive Mini are also compatible. The design of the North American and European models are not accurate to the design of the original systems as they use the Japanese model's power switch as opposed to a power button, likely to save manufacturing costs. The North American model was also sold in Japan as a separate product.
Technical specifications
- Output: 1 HDMI port
- Storage: 8 GB NAND flash
- Other: 2 USB controller ports
Features
The Mega Drive Mini 2 presents the user with a graphical interface displaying the covers of every game included on the system. Ten covers are displayed on the screen at a time, but the user can choose to display all games at once by pressing , displaying their spines. The games can even be sorted alphabetically, by release date, by genre, by the number of supported players, by recently played, or have Mega-CD games listed first. The menu music is once again composed by Yuzo Koshiro.
Changing the system language in the settings menu will also change the menu interface to match the selected language, changing to a Japanese Mega Drive-themed menu for Japanese or Chinese, a Genesis-themed menu for English, French, Spanish or Korean (with the exception of European systems for these languages except Korean), and a PAL Mega Drive-themed menu for Italian and German. Most of the covers will also change to match those of the respective region, and alternate regional versions of the games can be played, however not all games have an alternate regional variant available and will remain the same. On the European system, most games are the North American versions, though a small number of games such as Robo Aleste, Sonic the Hedgehog CD and Soleil use the European versions though have the North American versions available via a menu that appears when starting the game or by changing the system language.
During a game, the user can call up System Menu at any time by pressing the RESET button on the console. From this menu, the user can save their progress to a savestate, with each game supporting up to four savestates. Savestates will also remember which region the game is set to, so if the system language is changed, and the savestate is loaded, the regional variant of the game that was played when the savestate was created will be loaded. The MODE button may also be used to open the System Menu, which can be configured in the settings to open the menu instantly (Quick Load) or to require the user to hold MODE for one or three seconds, or hold START instead. Configuring this setting to any setting other than Quick Load will allow the MODE button to be used in games that have a use for it (e.g. to enable free movement in Vectorman 2).
The settings menu gives the user the ability to alter the display in various ways. Games can be displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio or they can fill the entire screen, along with an optional CRT filter that blurs the image and displays scanlines. When playing in a 4:3 ratio, the user can choose to have one of eight wallpapers displayed around the game screen to fill the blank space. The menu also includes a QR code that takes the user to a site hosting the original game manuals when scanned using a smartphone or tablet. New to the Mega Drive Mini 2 is a setting to choose between emulating the audio output of a Model 1 or Model 2 Mega Drive. Viewing the staff credits will display the boot ROM screens in the background, with the type being determined by the user's language and sound settings (e.g. setting the language to Japanese and the sound setting to Model 1 will display the Japanese Model 1 boot ROM screen).
List of games
While both editions of the Mega Drive Mini 2 contain 60 games, the lineup has been adjusted to better suit the region. Note that Sangokushi III is listed twice for both versions of the game, though both are officially counted as one game.
