I wish they localized segagaga. That game was one giant shitpost at their own expense and it was glorious.

Absolutely, SEGA knows this is fun and AWESOME.

This is the best marketing I have seen in years

Its for collectors to make the Genesis/Megadrive Mini look cool. Purely cosmetic. Some idiots don’t get this though, claiming a “missed opportunity” 😂

Sega does, what nintendont. 😁😁😁

Me Too Nathaniel

Me too

Same here

Me too

Never expect you here

Annnd the Sega Channel... at one point I had a Genesis with the Sega Channel, and Sonic and Knuckles with Sonic 2 attached. It was soooo awesome.

I mean, if they just came out with a Sega Channel fake cart to go with the Mini here, and then let us connect it to the internet via a USB adapter or something it would be awesome. So what? They start a small server somewhere and host a bunch of games on it from that era and bring back the old Sega Channel loading screen and interface? Yes! I mean everyone else is creating game streaming/ subscription services. Come on Sega re-release Sega Channel! It will never happen. But it would be fun.

3d printing

@@ncl3rdy2 that sounds good on paper, but I could already see the microtransactions coming from a mile away

And another copy of Sonic and Knuckles alongside Sonic 2 so that there could be a 4-cartridge long ultra tower of power.

NO WAY!

Lol

The mini sounds garbage in the uk even my gf said the sound is annoying and sounds nothing like the mega drive

@@thetruthsodealwithit2801 its because you got the atgames Sega Genesis not the Official good Sega Genesis

Looks like we're going to have to MOD!!

Damn shame. Almost insulting.

sure is

@@MasterZebulin Maybe they just accepted people would end up modding it anyways, and figured they'd make carts of games not on it.

VERY cruel. lol

Sega just made a few of those to send out to KZfaq "influencers". The ones they are actually selling have the all the Japanese names and stuff.

Exactly, the system was only called the Genesis in the US and Canada. Here in Europe, as well as Japan, Australia, and elsewhere, it was called the Megadrive

Exactly. If I remember correctly only North America knew it as the Genesis wile the rest of the world knows it as the Megadrive.

@@michael1234252 yeah I wonder why that is.

@@DefyantFoxV2 I think Megadrive was a name owned by some random US company that is why they ended up calling the system with a different name there. Something similar happened here in Europe with StarFox for the SNES which we knew as Starwing. Some random owned the rights of the name and that is why is different.

Pixel_Champion yeh, same

Agreed. Come on Sega! Do the right thing

They did. Sorry

I bought the Japanese version. They also have a collector's edition mini mega-drive with 22 fake cartridges.

Yeah seriously, I want a US tower...

Bowsette where did you learn to fly?

That's pretty damn true

@@Ayden_B where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to be an asshole

Instead of the Atari VCS, they should come out with a Jaguar mini!

Ya Boi Ayden Sha no mashi!

And the personal substation they required?

WASSUP RGT😖👋🏿

This is so sad

SpawnWave 350k subs RGT 85 250k subs You are right you should had have 1.

You're the Sega man too. Singing their praises most of the time. Those bastards.

Not influential enough. :)

Luis Saldaña My exact thoughts as I ws watching

RPi clusters can be pretty damn powerful.

At least it wouldn't be destroying a perfectly good SNES Mini for the Pi!

Add mini disk cd/dvd drive in the cd case.

Yeap! :( It would be cool if it unlocked the game after inserting the cartridge as a hidden bonus!

@@andremalerba5281 yeep

Sonic 3 was partially owned by Michael Jackson. Sega doesn't have full rights to that game

@@cepollard86 But they have it on the PC version of Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Classics, just not the console versions. So... what gives?

Yeah, it's really strange. The old PC port got a couple music tracks remade, so why not use those songs?

Yes

So the nightmare begins

AND a Sega Channel... AND a game genie

modders could problably make them all functional

Not an Alchemist Ed It's just the shell but I guess anything is possible.

i think replacing the guts of the Genesis Mini with a single board computer, and adding all the games from all 3 systems would be kick ass, and you would not need an HDD, as I think a 256GB Micro SD would hold the games for all 3 systems with room to spare.

@@CommodoreFan64 That's my plan!

@@CommodoreFan64 Put an NFC reader in the cartridge flap, and an NFC sticker in the cartridge then you can have the emulator open up the correct rom when the game is inserted. You could always 3D print more mini cartridges.

I said the same quote to myself lol

Too cool!

Does it include the game genie?

thanks for sharing that critical information lol

Good Times

'Member that time when that guy did that thing... Then the other guy said something funny... That was awesome!

AVGN is my reason for living.

Good for you to remember it, so we don't have to.

Lol

You could have. You can’t now.

Its out. Sold out. Who knows how many will be made.

Never say never. >fingers crossed

Then you have more money than sense.

@@david-spliso1928 $79 for the mini, $38 for the tower is 117.99 USD. Add in 32x and Sega CD games would take it to a respectable 149.99 USD. Convert USD to CDN that's 200.00 (since I am Canadian). only person with no sense is the one assuming others have none

Neil Desperandum lmao

Hits9Nine you didn’t clarify dude. As written, it appears as tho you’re willing to pay 200 for 20 more games and some plastic, in which case that would make no sense

@@proud90skid15 Yeah you're paying all that for some extra plastic. The SBC in the main unit will do all the compute work regardless. Sorry if I offended you, I just wouldn't pay it. If you wanna it's your money.

Somewhere I can hear the AVGN screaming as he reads your comment.

@@mrbisshie I can feel his scowl right now

@@mrbisshie Some of us remember those AC adapters before AVGN came along. Tbh, that dude just got famous by repeating what everyone his age griped about back then.

@@John6-40 I never had a Sega Genesis as a kid. My mom did have a Coleco Vision, and I played it as a kid. I remember the big as fuck AC adapter. Young me was annoyed trying to plug it in, lol.

@@mrbisshie I grew up with a Caleco vision. It was a big deal when I finally got a SNES. I still have it with the original power brick that's held together by electrical tape.

Yes, please.

Itsbuu

And that Lock on the side of the Model 1 Sega CD was used to hold wires in my home lol

That’s even better! This is just a plastic copy of your awesome Sega consoles.

True. They could’ve sold us more games. Sonic CD would’ve been cool. And if there weren’t enuf 32X or CD games, we’d gladly have more regular Mega Drive games.

many*

Arcadeperfect Reviews exactly, I don’t think he realized that

American release must be planned as well

That was my first thought as well. As soon as I saw genesis realized it much be bound for US. Be interesting to see if it is on store shelves at launch with the mini on thursday.

Arcadeperfect Reviews nice catch. It went right over my head too. I hope they’re planning a release here. I think Sega will be very surprised by how many people buy them. It should have been a special edition mini.

Thought the exact same thing once I saw Genesis. I want it, I want it NOW!

Sega just made a few of those to send out to KZfaq "influencers". The ones they are actually selling have all the Japanese names and stuff.

@@CM-cs4bq why'd you put influencers in quotations? They do have influence on the KZfaq landscape to some extent.

You're correct as back in trhe day i had Japanese imported Mega drive in the UK. Genesis is North America

The mega drive edition also includes in the back cardboard sleeve a Sega service department envelope with a poster with the mega drive blueprints and game list. And a book with the Genesis/mega drive technical drawings.

I'm guessing Sega didn't want to pay for the rights.

Yeah people have fun with Nintendo consoles instead

@@vaannebilim sheesh

@@vaannebilim r/woooosh

It wouldn't work though. would many buy it just for show?

Sega has a history of not re releasing sonic 3 and knuckles cause of the copyright issues with the Michael Jackson music. Even when they did a few re releases they altered the music.

There are plans to add it with the Genesis Link service.

@@segaunited3855 ?

that takes actual effort

They already tried that. Remember the nineties?

I hear what you're saying, but the Wii U and 32x were from completely different console generations. So I don't know why you'd want to compare the sales.

that's actually still pretty sad LOL, poor wii u

@@benjaminbarker6226 a comparison shows what a huge mistake the 32x was.

I heard sega couldnt put sonic 3 or sonic and knuckles because michael jackson owned part of it for the music

No they don't want to cause problems

S3&K was also the intended S3 experience I believe, my understanding is they only made S&K separate because they couldn't fit everything into one cartridge.

That's neat

No the Genesis put them on the map. The Saturn did ok... but almost killed the company... who we all like to point at Bernie Stolar for not trying to bring more games to the US on the Saturn. The Dreamcast did well for about 3 years 1999 - 2002 before the first Xbox and PS2 came out... and brought Sonic to the 3D realm and many addicted to PSO... but the company just wasn't making enough money overseas.

@Jefferson Maverick yeah I remember the bad jokes of 32x systems crashing, called a doorstop, bad games and lack of 3rd party and bad release that close to the Saturn as they tried to milk the Genesis cow... yet I enjoyed my SCD and 32X for what they are/were. My SCD died... but I think my 32X may still work... I don't remember seeing Saturn commercials at ALL but I remember magazine ads... and Die Hard Game Fan...magazine.

@Jefferson Maverick SCD the gaming... video... things were neat but bad. Night Trap, Sewer Shark... but I enjoyed the version of Dragons Lair! And when they simply used real music with that extry-crisp Genesis look with the slightly larger graphics... was THE way of the system. Hook... wait around on stage ONE... hear the tuba solo from the movie soundtrack! The Star Wars game was game was good. Flink, Sonic CD, Revenge of Bari-arm, Soul(crap), Flashback, Earthworm Jim...(special edition!), Lords of Thunder, LunAr, LunAr EB, Popful Mail, Son of Chuck... and some others were ALL good! Battlecorps was good...tough! But good. Silpheed was supposed to be a Star Fox killer but was a glorified version of Galaga... but I ENJOYED it! Miss seeing your little ship flying through the space battles around you! Despite the reviews... more scenery could hurt you than you realized! Loved the overall look of Silpheed. And had early polygons action going on too! Yeah the 32X was a good idea at the wrong time and came too late, but I really enjoyed the Sega CD! Hate it died. Probably just needs a new fuse inside... but I've been slowly selling my collection.

@Jefferson Maverick oh crap! I had Final Fight also which as hard as I tried never finished it! Even 2 players! Had the Sega collection also with the upgraded Golden Axe music... man good stuff... and of all the silly movie games I liked the Sherlock Holmes games... they weren't easy but fun. Still have that guy saying "MONKEY!" In my head ever since...
