MagyarSEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 launches with 60 games in Europe and other markets
SEGA is now offering the Mega Drive Mini 2 in multiple markets, a few months on from revealing the console's launch date. Available in North America as the Genesis Mini 2, both variants look exactly like the full-sized models that debuted in 1994. However, SEGA has added new ports, as well as shrinking their chassis.
Specifically, both Mini 2 models feature USB Type-A ports where SEGA previously included proprietary controller ports. For reference, older Mega Drive Mini and Genesis Mini controllers are compatible with Mini 2 consoles. Additionally, Mini 2 systems receive power via a Micro USB port and can output at 480p or 720p via an HDMI port. Unfortunately, SEGA only includes one controller in the box, not two, as with the original consoles.
Like other classic consoles, Mini 2 consoles cannot play original game cartridges. Instead, SEGA pre-installs 60 games that launched on the Mega Drive or for the Mega CD. Please note that titles vary by region, with Japanese models receiving a different game list to North America and Europe editions. More details about the Mega Drive Mini 2 and Genesis Mini 2 can be found on SEGA's website. Alternatively, you can find the full game list for all markets reproduced below.
