The Sega Genesis Mini 2 joins the ranks of several existing mini consoles like the Nintendo Classic consoles which are expected to continue, PlayStation Classic, and 2019’s initial Genesis Mini. While the original Genesis Mini came packaged with classics like Golden Axe, Kid Chameleon, and Sonic the Hedgehog, the Sega Genesis Mini 2 will offer new Genesis titles, and it will also include Sega CD games, furthering the potential of the upcoming mini console.

On top of 50 new Genesis and Sega CD games with the Genesis Mini 2, Sega has confirmed that this mini console “boasts even more power” which harkens back to the days in which Sega proclaimed that its consoles did what “Nintendon’t.” Some titles that have already been announced for the classic Sega console are After Burner 2, Sonic CD, Splatterhouse 2, Vectorman 2, and more. Sega has also stated that the Genesis Mini 2 will offer a never-released bonus game that may not be unveiled until the launch of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 on October 27.
Many Sega fans that hoped for a Western release for the Mega Drive Mini 2 took to the announcement of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 with notable enthusiasm, many specifying that they’ve hoped for a version of the classic console with the 6-button gamepad. Because of the unexpected nature of a sequel to a mini platform, some gobsmacked gamers asked if the announcement was even real, and others asked for Saturn and Master System minis. Among the games requested by long-time Sega fans in response to the Sega Genesis Mini 2 reveal include Night Trap, Popful Mall, Truxton, and Terminator CD.
