It is weird that it is missing the "greatest hits" of the Genesis but makes sense in the context that this is meant as an addition to the original Genesis Mini. The price is also higher by $40 if you factor in shipping so i can see how this is not for everyone. However, i can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who had a Genesis back in the day or is interested in exploring the library a little deeper. They do make up for it by giving you 60 titles vs the original's 40. the titles picked here are a mix of some of the best games on the system - Earthworm Jim 2, Fatal Fury 2, Golden Axe 2, Lightening Force, Ranger-X, Shadow Dancer, Shining Force II, Streets of Rage 3, Splatterhouse 2, Super Street Fighter 2, Revenge of Shinobi, Vector Man 2... and some deep cuts that people may not be familiar but are still incredible - Alien Soldier, Crusader of Centy (itself a $1000 game), Elemental Master, Midnight Resistance, Ristar etc. SO many of these games cost hundreds by themselves. There are also a few games which may not have aged well but are fascinating vignettes into Sega's Arcade lineup that were responsible for the console's early success and reputation as a processing powerhouse - After Burner II, OutRun, Super Hang On, Virtua Racing. There are definitely some hidden gems as well, Rolling Thunder 2, Herzog Zwei, Warsong, The Ooze all come to mind. BTW, Warsong and Populous look fantastic on a modern screen and a pleasure to play! Of course another huge draw is the inclusion of some of the best Sega CD games (and some of the worst). Sonic CD is arguably the best Sonic game of the 16 bit generation with an incredible soundtrack and gameplay which promotes exploration vs speeding through levels. Shining Force CD is Strategy RPG royalty. Final Fight CD is the best home version of the classic beat em up and Robo Aleste tops is the cherry on top of the already incredible Shmup lineup here. In fact, if you like shmups, this is a must have as it has arguably all the best ones on the console, missing only MUSHA and Android Assault. Even the "awful" FMV games are a fun throwback and interesting history lesson in what we all thought was the future of gaming in 1993. I concede that this mini alone isn't an adequate slice of the console's incredible library, but neither is the first mini. With 60 games everyone is bound to find something they love (the reviewer who gave this 1 star is insane). Between the best shmups of the 16 bit era, some of the best beat em ups, fighting games, RPGs and excellent arcade ports - this is an all star lineup. Another perk is because of the Sega CD games, this console has a lot more storage than the first mini and if you dont mind removing some of the "bad" FMV Sega CD games, you can hack and load it up with practically the entire Genesis library. At $120 it is a luxury purchase for sure, especially since with very little effort one can play every 90s cartridge game on a Wii for a fraction of the price. But if you love official hardware and/or a fan of Sega at its peak, this is a fantastic little package (and it IS little, the box is about half the size of the original mini). A+, would buy again. P.S. I didn't bother reviewing the actual hardware, but it's of fantastic quality and i really appreciate the inclusion of a 6 button USB controller which is IDENTICAL to the original (this is good) as well as power adapter which none of the other mini consoles come with. Review: The Participation Trophy We All Didn't Know We Needed. - I love my little Sega Genesis Mini 2. I mainly got this one for the Shooting games - After Burner 2, Fantasy Zone, Hellfire, and Truxton. I also dig the Beat-'Em-Ups Final Fight and Streets Of Rage 3, so that's a bonus. I'm a casual gamer, so I can't gauge the accuracy of the emulation of these games. The games could be "broken" for all I know, but I'm still playing them because they are fun. I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said about this mini console. If you're going to get one, you're going to get one. I can't think of any downsides: 100 bucks gets chu a pretty cool little console with entertaining and fun games. If you were to actually try to get this set-up to play natively, I can't even estimate how much time and money that would cost. I'd say the next best thing is to buy the digital collections on the current consoles or on Steam, but, here, you get the benefit of a decorative item to go with it - like a little trophy to display! 👍🏽🐔👍🏽 ## Features - More compact.

It reads game files off of internal flash memory or an inserted SD card or USB drive; a number of games come preloaded, and, if you legally own other ROMs and have the means to get them into the Genesis Mini, then you can expand the collection, but you can't plug original cartridges into this device. "Joe M" was flippantly referring to Sega's habit of selling expensive add-on devices for their consoles (such as the Sega CD and 32X modules for the Genesis/MegaDrive). Incidentally, in Japan they have sold non-functioning add-ons that make a Genesis Mini look like it has an attached Sega CD, 32X, or Game Genie, but those were purely decorative and did not accept original cartridges or CDs. **Q: Why is it shipping from amazon japan? i thought it was the na version. its like $21.99 for shipping.** A: Sega made the decision to have them only come from Japan due to the semiconductor shortages etc. **Q: This is sold and shipped by amazon japan. will there be a version that is sold by amazon.com?** A: Not ttue. Amazon US treats Amazon Japan as a third party seller. So if you need a refund when shipping from Japan gets wonky you cant get assistance. **Q: Why 22 bucks to ship?** A: Shipping cost cost because it is being Shipped over seas. That what Japan cost to ship. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by V***Z on November 2, 2022* This is a really unique product.

I've collected at least one version of seven, out of eight classic/mini consoles made, mini/classic consoles. Moreover, out of all the 16-bit systems, the sega genesis was my favorite growing up. I'm a 32 year old guy with a fairly decent collection of gaming content. The first version of the Sega Genesis mini was a solid unit back in 2019. The only drawback was that they shipped with the 3 button controllers instead of the 6 button like with the Genesis 2. Also, the game selection was decent but a little short on the coverage with only 40 games. Given that the games selected for it were all fairly decent at the very least, I feel the Genesis 2 hits that quality mark a little better. Also there is 60 games over 40. But if you have both units, at their stock value with no jailbreaking, that's 100 Genesis titles. Also, all the peripherals and controllers made for the Genesis mini 1 are compatible with the Genesis mini 2. So you literally don't have to purchase anything else, but the actual mini2, to enjoy the mini 2. Yes that means the 3 button controllers will work on it if that's your preference. Lastly, despite the Genesis 2 being Amazon exclusive, the price tag seems feasible for 60 games. There is a roughly $30 shipping fee though since it's coming from Japan, which is the only thing I didn't like about it. Nonetheless, the unit is worth it. It's got the look down packed, just like the mini 1, and the entertainment is there so no regrets. ## Frequently Bought Together - SEGA Genesis Mini 2 - Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 6-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini, PS3, PC, Mac, Steam, Switch - USB Port - (Black) - RLSOCO Carrying Case for Sega Genesis Mini 2/Genesis Mini --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/451686895-sega-genesis-mini-2](https://www.desertcart.be/products/451686895-sega-genesis-mini-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
