I just got my Genesis Mini II and am loving it so far. Almost immediately I found a hidden game that wasn't originally listed on the select screen! Too neat. Glad this is a thing. Now here's hoping we can hack it soon so I can add Snatcher and the other games I want.

I've been trying to keep up with this and, honestly, never heard that Space Harrier was going to be an option as well, only Space Harrier 2. If it was announced could someone link me to an article before this launch? That way I can correct the headline and thumbnail.

@NemXX2 Жыл бұрын

Got mine yesterday. I like it more than my mega drive mini 1. I think it's cause of the mega CD audio quality. Planning to beat a few of these games. I was enjoying Shining force CD and Ecco the dolphin. With the mega cd music Ecco is so much more imersive. Seems to look better than the original version too (i booted the mini1 to compare). I really hope this will be hacked. I would love to add more to the mega CD library. Would like sub-terrania there as well. I had that one as a kid and i loved how imersive it was too.

My only complaints with this mini is that to play the Japanese version of games you have to actually change the language to Japanese in the settings. Then choose the game. Changing back to English is confusing since you have to memorize where to go to change the language. And also to access the mode options button from the controller you have to change in the settings and then hold start for 3 seconds and it takes another 5 seconds to exit out a game. Other than that I love the Genesis Mini 2

I like this system but cannot help feeling that Sega charged way way too much. There is no instructions booklet, the packaging is not very good, no carton inside to keep things in tact. There was no plug but that can be expected these days if it wasn't for the very high price and only one controller, at the very least there could have been on screen instructions or a QR code for every game to get the instructions online, all in all to round it up Sega just pulled on people's heart strings they obviously knew that only the big Sega fanboys would buy it that's why it was made in much smaller amounts with a massive high price to make a lot of money for fewer systems. Sega hasn't really respected their fans with this one its like having a Xbox series x brand new handed to you in a paper bag and charging £800 for it. I can't help feeling ripped of cash. Its like that George Michael song, if your going to do it, do it right, next time they release a mini i will think it over for at least a month.
