Popular Post The_Kopite Posted June 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2022 October 27th 2022 release date (Not sure if just Japan or worldwide date) Price of 10,978 Japanese Yen Contains over 50 titles including Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Shining Force CD and Thunder Force IV The 'Megadora Tower Mini 2' will also be released as a decorative item replicating the look of the Mega CD console To be honest, the Mega Drive is my favourite Sega console and the addition of Mega CD games is exciting like Sonic CD, but wouldn't a Saturn mini or Dreamcast mini have made more sense? Maybe that'll be the 3rd mini console they do and combine the two together? I'll still end up buying it though lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonenCat Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 An interesting announcement from SEGA ? I thought for sure they’d try for a Master System mini or Dreamcast mini going forward, but alas it’s another Genesis. The most obvious difference between this mini compared to the last one are the SEGA CD games. Popful Mail is a delightful surprise along with Slipheed ? But if this mini is to release internationally, the list of games will surely be different. For the western market, I can see the CD version of Earthworm Jim making the cut. The only English version of Snatcher would be great as well. They should also consider Keio Flying Squadron considering how freaking expensive that one is now. I’ll keep a close eye on this, and pray SEGA doesn’t load this up with a bunch of crummy FMV games. It may be worth replacing my Model 1 mini with this one for it has the CD bios already inside *wink wink* ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This is neat. I'm glad they at least seem to be focusing on Sega CD games, rather than just more Genesis games. I wish they'd do a Saturn one though. The Saturn is the only Sega console I never had. I've always wanted one but they've always been a little too expensive for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned a Mega Drive, then a Saturn before owning the PS One (The small revision console after the OG PS1) and the Saturn still had some wonderful games that are well worth playing today. If you could get one at a reasonable price and as long as you like the range of games on offer for the console, I doubt you'd regret it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I'd buy the Saturn one just to play that elusive version of Symphony of the Night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could get one at a reasonable price and as long as you like the range of games on offer for the console, I doubt you'd regret it. Unfortunately the reasonable price doesn't really exist. I generally see a decent condition console for somewhere between $200-$400, and the games are generally $50-$100+. I'd have to spend around $400-$500 just to get the console and maybe a few games. Then I'd have to essentially pay full price or more per game every time I wanted something new. It's just too much for me to spend on an older console. If I'm going to spend that much, I'd rather just get a PS5. Hopefully one day they release a mini though. I'd be more than happy to spend around $50-$100 for a collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia-Roses Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I’m just hoping they stick to the superior emulation that the last one did and don’t revert to atgames. The inclusion of Sega CD is an interesting addition, plus 50 games is a pretty nice collection, blowing even Nintendo out of the water, provided the controller is good in the hand and the game selection is mostly quality and not filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's really expensive! Here in the UK you can get them unboxed for around 50-100 GBP. Was lucky myself that managed to find the one I had. Certainly a Sega Saturn mini would be a really cool option! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjise Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have hopes for a Sega Saturn or a Dreamcast, those are the consoles I spent the best times of my childhood. Stilll this seem to be a very good offer, even more with those CD games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEdders95 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This sounds awesome! I love how they're focusing on Mega CD games and hopefully you get use that little tower of power thing to make it feel a bit more authentic. Some 32X games would be nice too, although the only one I'm that bothered about is Knuckles Chaotix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly very pricey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstream88 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Might up and get this one Hoping they do a Sega Saturn and Dreamcast one since I actually never owned those systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageamusement Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I love the Mega CD, not sure if it's possible but the Mega CD versions of Earthworm Jim, The Terminator, Micky Mania and Keio Flying Squadron would be great to have. Lords of Thunder, The Secret of Monkey Island and of course Road Avenger would be amazing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sega Saturn will be extremely difficult to emulate, but they might pull a miracle. Furthermore, Shining Force III's Scenarios and Panzer Dragoon Saga are some of the best Sega jrpgs I've played. I even played Grandia on that console. Edited June 3, 2022 by thepeaguy83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 A Mega EverDrive Pro cartridge from Krikkz will run both cartridge and Sega CD games as well as Master System. However you want an OSSC or Retrotink for a decent image. Dreamcast has a very cheap SD card mod, there's literally no point in a Dreamcast mini. TerraOnion has made the "Mode" for the Sega saturn, So my actual Saturn has an SSD replacing the laser. Again it's very expensive and you want RGB to HDMI. Mini consoles, well they are a hell of allot cheaper then owning the real deal. I have no need for a mini anything but I can appreciate their existence, Hopefully this is better quality.

RadiantFlamberge Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Space Harrier II is in this, but not as we know it. Take a look at 6:12. This version of SH2 looks more like something Sega would've done for the arcade, with sprite scaling done in realtime instead of choppy pre-rendered steps. A-ma-zing. ? I just wish they had a few more seconds to show of it. Edited September 8, 2022 by RadiantFlamberge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Now that the MD Mini 2 is out, here's someone playing Space Harrier II to the end. First, let's get the bad news out of the way- there's some sprite flicker. The original game's terrible choppiness is gone, and the BGM is wonderfully arranged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
