@@halo3odst "We won't get an English version of Policenauts"??? I wouldn't say that for sure. I don't think anyone expected Megaman: The Wily Wars (especially after years of having to struggle with the craptastic PAL standard UK release ROM or just getting the proper Japanese Rockman: Wily Tower ROM and not being able to read any story elements in exchange for the correct gameplay speed). I don't think anything is off the table. Now something that IS pretty unlikely? If there is a Segasaturn Mini, we probably won't be seeing anything that required the use of the ROM cartridge (Ultraman, King of Fighters 95), the MPEG card (Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete), or the 1MB/3MB/4MB RAM cartridges (X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3, Street Fighter ZERO3/Alpha 3, The King of Fighters 96-97, etc). Unless they DO include one of'em and a replica RAM card as an accessory...but I doubt that.

Not to be picky, but the packaging is based on the original packaging from 1989 and the grid layout used on the box is totally an 80s style. Now I will say when I got my original on Christmas Eve 1989 that it looked very futuristic, the packaging with the bold large graphics, and the sleek black look, and the rounded off controller, it was very impressive. Also when I hooked it up to my TV and saw the graphics I was stunned, I literally didn't think my TV could do graphics that well. Keep in mind in 1989 there were no in store displays for the Genesis and I don't recall very much advertising at all - I only knew about it from going to the video rental store and they had a new magazine there called Electronic Gaming Monthly, and it had the Ghouls N Ghosts cover - and those tiny screen shots were all you had to go on. Toys R Us had a very small area where you could buy the system once it was released - but also keep in mind back then there were amazingly no release dates for systems - you'd literally just go to the store and see if it was there. Anyways seeing the box reminded me of that, but mainly the reference to it looking very 90s - and thus the legend of the Genesis, it's a pure 1980s system that was ahead of it's time.
@originalfunkyfry 3 жыл бұрын
I agree with you, but I think that disparity in memory is just the product of the fact that *most* consumers didn't really become aware of the Genesis or the Mega-Drive until Sonic the Hedgehog became popular, and that was a few years later in the early 90s. I was, like you, one of the people who bought the original package (which did indeed resemble this one, with the grid background) that came with "Altered Beast." The reason I was confident enough to buy a Genesis, so early in the run, was because I was already a Master System fan, and I was able to get a Power Base Converter. So that meant that with the "backwards compatibility" (a word I would not have heard when I was 14 in 1989) I had an instant library of games to play that were already showing up cheap on the used marketplace (which is to say, the back of the school-bus). I remember when the SNES came out a few years later ppl were all buzzed about it and I was like, eh, I already had a better system than that 3 years ago.
@deionbeeldenstormer7498 5 жыл бұрын
IMHO, the top advantages of mini consoles are: 1. Great for affordably playing retro games for a system one may no longer own. Super stoked for the TurboGrafx Mini. I never owned one, and it is a treasure trove of lesser known platformers, shooters, and RPGs. 2. Mini consoles are excellent for gaming while traveling. 3. They are fantastic for playing games which originally had a battery back-up in the cartridge - being that most of those internal batteries have long since died. Sooo great to play retro RPGs such as Link to the Past, Final Fantasy III (aka VI), and Phantasy Star IV with the ability to save at any moment to system memory. BUT, mini consoles NEED to evolve and include features such as a functional cartridge slot (would be a phenomenal capability for those of us with big game collections) and/or the ability to officially download MORE games from an online eshop, Virtual Console-style.

The build quality is great and it plays and feels just like I remember the originals. I know I'll be picking up the more faithful 6-button one too as soon as they're available. They're like $20 which I think is a pretty good deal as far as the quality of the controller you get. So yeah there will be an option to buy an original 6 button controller for this when it comes out.

Just so you are aware, you aren't supposed to add new games to it, that wasn't Sega and M2's intent for the system. However, since the system hooks into the power adapter with a USB, this means that it will be easy to hook up to a PC and hack. I wouldn't be surprised if the Hakchi devs add Genesis mini support shortly after this releases or something.

The library is so good that it feels as if I made it myself. This is so official that Sega even made an original soundtrack for it, and hired the legendary Yuzo Koshiro to do it. I really can't wait, I'm very excited to finally own an official Genesis release. It will be my first Genesis console in general. I'm excited even for the 3-button controllers, I always wanted to have those because those are the originals. I have never owned even a fake Genesis. I just had the multiple collections released on PlayStation. Although I'm still planning to add some titles myself: - Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Sonic & Knuckles - QuackShot - Alien Soldier - Herzog Zwei - M.U.S.H.A. - Truxton - Fire Shark - Hellfire - Twin Hawk - Zero Wing - Twin Cobra - Slap Fight MD - Grind Stormer - Darius II - Thunder Force IV - Thunder Force II - Elemental Master - The Hyperstone Heist - The Punisher - Growl - The Revenge Of Shinobi - Shadow Dancer - Streets Of Rage - Streets Of Rage 3 - Golden Axe II - Golden Axe III - Ranger X - Target Earth - After Burner II - Super Thunder Blade - Galaxy Force II - Super Hang-On - OutRun - Columns III - Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure - Ristar That would bring it to 90. I need to think of 10 more to make it 100, but I'm sure it will be easy with the great library the Sega Genesis has. For those extra 10 I'm thinking of: - NHL '94 - NBA Jam Tournament Edition - International Superstar Soccer Deluxe - Road Rash - Road Rash 3 - Super Monaco GP - Chase H.Q. II - Devil Crash MD - Wonder Boy III Monster Lair - Vectorman 2 I really love the interface, so if adding extra games will mess with that, I will just leave it as it is. After all the selection is already really good.

Hey SpawnWave, thought you might be interested in this: I took a bit of research on that UniIC chip right beside the Z7213, and it's apparently not 512 MB, but *_2 GB_* of RAM. On UniIC's actual product listing, they have two 512MB chips, both have model numbers of SCB15H512xxxxx. But the chip on the Genesis Mini actually says SCB15H2G160AF (the "AF" portion is continued on the next line of text). That indicates that this console actually has more RAM than we all initially thought, which is a pleasant surprise.
