Sega announces Mega Drive Mini 2, releasing October 27 (50 games in total, including Mega CD games)

[Zonic]

Thunder Force 4! This the same as the Switch port?

 

[KoolAid]

Thunder Force IV!

 

[Qikz]

THUNDERFORCE 4!

 

[sir_crocodile]

they really are knocking it out of the park with games I'd want on this so far

 

[Finaika]

Thunder Force IV!!!

Bonanza Bros aside, this is a solid lineup so far.

At the very least, so far, all the games revealed have been released in the US, so that should help its chances of it coming here.

At least that version is a bit more unique & hasn't seen a re-release. I see it like V.R., it may not be the best version, but it's an interesting version.

Yeah, that's true. FFCD is honestly worth it for the soundtrack alone.

 

[2Blackcats]

Never played Shining Force CD.

Is this it's first time rereleased?

 

[Kazooie]

Interestingly, OP contains 8 confirmed games, the original Mega Drive Mini had 42 games and this one has 50+ games. Do we know whether it will be disjunct or if it will be an extended version of the first one?

Yep

 

[Karlinel]

Not bad at all! A few 32x games would be neat. It's not like there are more than…42?

But I want a fucking saturn mini, since games for the actual OG saturn I own are expensive as fuck.

 

[Jazzem]

EDIT: My bad, was confusing it with the Magical Hat game Decap Attack was based on 😅

This one's by Game Freak!

Click to shrink...

Sweet.

That's probably a buy from me so.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I made the mistake of watching the anime this game is based on.

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE

 

[sir_crocodile]

Magical Taruruto-kun, first one only released in Japan in this stream

looks like it might not need localising though?

 

[FrsDvl]

Ooh it comes with the best Sonic game. I'll buy one

 

[Red Liquorice]

Nice, I'm here for Popful Mail.

As much as I want a Master System or Saturn, this is obviously the smarter way to go.

I had this as a kid, it's a straight up platform game with some light story dialogue that doesn't get in the way of the gameplay. Very easy but great looking.

 

[Zonic]

& here's our list so far:

Sega/Mega CD:
- Silpheed
- Shining Force CD
- Sonic CD
- Mansion of Hidden Souls
- Popful Mail

Genesis/Mega Drive:
- Virtua Racing
- Bonanza Bros.
- Shining in the Darkness
- Thunder Force IV
- Magical Taruruuto-kun
- Fantasy Zone (not Super, apparently a new port of the original)

 

[Zonic]

SURPRISE

FANTASY ZONE

 

[Jazzem]

Fantasy Zone 1...as in a new Mega Drive port maybe?

 

[KoolAid]

Wasn't Fantasy Zone on the first one already?

 

[Deleted member 34949]

So did M2 port Fantasy Zone to Mega Drive for shits and giggles or

Wasn't Fantasy Zone on the first one already?

Click to shrink...

That was Super Fantasy Zone, a Genesis exclusive entry

 

[sir_crocodile]

I will never get sega's hard on for fantasy zone

 

[MondoMega]

dang, a brand new port of the arcade Fantasy Zone. really neat!

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

That is weird.

 

[sir_crocodile]

even the stream is giving up in disgust at yet more fantasy zone

lmaooooooo

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

Sega remembering that the Sega CD exists? What deviltry is this?

 

[aisback]

Sega loves re-releasing fantasy zone and putting it in games. I got sick of playing it in yakuza games

 

[Type VII]

Mega CD games? I'm in.

 

[OaklandKao]

Enough Fantasy Zone. The fact we got all the weird ports with the 3D Classics line was good enough.

 

[Zonic]

"Our next surprise is a Mega CD version of Super Fantasy Zone. We've also included a version of Super Fantasy Zone that would've been a combination Mega CD/32X version"

 

[Zonic]

LOL THAT FAKE OUT.

YES, a Sega CD add-on piece of plastic!

 

[Fuzzy]

They need to include a useless piece of plastic that looks like a Mega CD 2 like they did with the MCD1 and 32X previously.

Click to shrink...

Fucking yes!

 

[Post Reply]

Mini Sega CD looks nice!

 

[Dest]

Snatcher or bust

 

[Tempy]

I never got the first Mega Drive Mini. Any chance they'll rerelease it?

 

[Zonic]

LOL you can buy an adaptor to fit the original mini on the Sega CD. That's so silly, I love it.

& of course a 32x.

 

[Gotchaforce]

No chance of a US system?

 

[TΛPIVVΛ]

THAT SEGA CD MINI THOUGH!

 

[Ogni-XR21]

I need the MegaCD2 attachment, will import if they don't release it in the west (just like the OG Mega CD and 32X which I also got).

Edit: they even made the adapter needed for the 32X...

Edit2: and even the adapter to use the OG Mega Drive with the Mega CD2!

 

[Zonic]

No chance of a US system?

Click to shrink...

Save for one game, all the titles shown so far have gotten US releases, so it could be possible. We just haven't heard anything from the US division yet.

 

[Deleted member 34949]

That is a lot of really, really useless plastic that I would really, really like to own.

 

[MondoMega]

Now I want it just for the tower. The extra spacer accessories are hilarious.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

I need this. I don't have the first Mini yet though. Argh!!

I have the first MD mini + MCD + 32X stuff. It's so cute.

 

[OneThirtyEight]

Seeing hiw easi it is ti add games to the first MD Mini this was kinda underwhelming. But cool that they add SegaCD games.

 

[MondoMega]

A happy Mega Drive family.

 

[Alienhated]

Click to shrink...

It's MD/Genesis, no way they're not going to sell it in the west. Right?

It's totally going to be butchered by our marketers though.

 

[Zonic]

That controller cushion is cute, but gimme a full pillow shapes like the Genesis attached to the Sega cd.
