Mega Drive Mini 2 slated to have 50 games and with accessory available for purchase
Sega is going retro again as it unveiled its old-is-new-again Mega Drive Mini 2. The Mega Drive Mini 2 was revealed (opens in new tab) in a rather bizarre live stream on Sega’s Japanese YouTube channel. Strange introductions aside, the new mini console is based on the Mega Drive Model 2 which came out back in 1994. The Model 2 was unique in that it supported the Mega-CD add-on (better known as the Sega CD in North America) giving gamers access to a new set of games. Mirroring the past, the Mega Drive Mini 2 will have Sega CD games on it. The Mega Drive Mini 2 will launch in Japan on October 27. Given the popularity and critical acclaim the first mini console garnered (opens in new tab), it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect an international release similar to the Genesis Mini 2. The mini-console will have a starting price of 9,980 yen which is around $75.
