I'd have minded if the titles were duplicated from the original to the sequel. I think it's a lovely product for the price and certainly one of the top mini's they are charging more because it has more software and Sega CD software, inflation and production costs is also something to be mindful of, the days of Mini's less than $100 are coming to an end.

I’m really enjoying this (got the European Mega Drive version). I’d say the Mini 1 is better and all you need if you just want a good selection of Genesis games. But the Mini 2 is great if you really liked the first one and want to dive deeper, without getting into the world of roms and retro-pies. I can accept the price and single controller too - I imagine a lot of people who wanted a 6 button controller for the Mini 1 would have bought a retro-bit controller like I did, so this wasn’t an issue. But for a casual Genesis fan - the Mini 2 is definitely not good value. They should look for a Mini 1 or find one of the many compilation discs that have most of those games. The PS3 /Xbox 360 Genesis collection is a great one for that (with a lot of bonus content)!

LRG is offering it for like $180 after tax and shipping and with how long it takes them to ship anything i probably won't see it till next November alternatively i can get one from play asia for $200ish but compared to the first the list of games is significantly smaller though they're mostly made up of shmups, which i adore.

i thought the same thing about silpheed reminding me of gyruss lol. i love final fight cd. sure, the colors are "faded" due to smaller color palette on the genesis. but the sound is directly from the arcade (sound fx) and the remixed music is freakin awesome, even back then. i wish there was an option to play the original arcade music, however, if desired. ah well. the only thing is that the sega cd version of final fight is slower as far as punching goes, compared to the arcade. i could move so quick around the screen in the arcade version compared to sega cd version. but its still a good game, even though the snes version looks better (more colors), the sega cd version has all 3 characters, all the arcade sounds, better music, it wins. yes, i agree, the scanlines are blah on this thing. it's rare to see games do proper scanline simulation. if they would let you select different versions of scanlines, i.e. like the Arcade Archives games, coulda had good scanlines. i like the games more on the mini 2. there are more games i like on it as compared to the mini 1. i think the only other mini that may rival these would be Konami's TG16 mini. lastly, if u have a 5.1 surround system, some of the games sound really good on the mini 2! no, it doesnt support 5.1, but for some reason, the extra speakers make some of the games sound really good. im hoping for a Master System mini next, or a Sega Arcade mini.
