The Genesis Mini Is Back With A Vengeance

[Peter Paltridge]

Remember that “mini consoles” craze from a few short years ago? There were mini plug-and-play versions of the NES, SNES, Genesis, Playstation and even TurboGrafx-16. Every company that once had a console in the 80s and 90s had their turn and then the fad died out. This is why we’re kind of startled to be reporting that the Genesis Mini is getting a follow-up sequel mini in Japan.
The Mega Drive Mini 2, as it is literally called, is a lot like the original Mega Drive Mini from that country except it will come with a new selection of games — and a much bigger one at that. 50 games are packed into this sucker (the first Mini had 40 games) and this time, there’s official Sega CD support (or Mega CD as it was known elsewhere).

Do you think that will happen? Years ago, my brothers and sister got together and bought my kids a Sega Genesis Console System. (My husband and I could not afford it.) Awesome Christmas present! My kids played practically all day. Even their dad played with them! LOL.

Sony Killed them with PlayStation and they never recovered. So they stopped making consoles. At least they still make games.
