This article is about an upcoming game. Its content may change frequently during the game's development.
The Mega Drive Mini (メガドライブミニ), sold in North America as the Sega Genesis Mini, is a miniature Sega Mega Drive console with 40 built-in games. It was released in September 2019.
Contents
Hardware
The Mega Drive Mini follows in the footsteps of other hardware manufacturers; Nintendo with its NES and Super NES Classic Edition units, Sony with its PlayStation Classic and SNK with its Neo Geo X Gold and Neo Geo Mini systems. The unit is designed to resemble the original model of Sega Mega Drive (or Sega Genesis), 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 via HDMI.
Prior to the console's release, other "mini Mega Drives" were available, such as the Sega Mega Drive Flashback by AtGames and a similar cost-reduced system by Tectoy, however while both are officially licensed by Sega, the Mega Drive Mini is the only one of the three to be developed by the company (although the actual software emulation was handled by M2). It was therefore marketed as being the more "official" product.
Also, unlike these older systems, Sega acquired the rights to feature games by the likes of Konami and Namco in the Mega Drive Mini. The Mega Drive mini also supports up to four savestates per game.
In Japan, two packages were released - a standard edition with one USB Six Button Control Pad, and a "W" edition with two. In the US, the Sega Genesis Mini only ships with three button control pads.
