Retro SEGA fans … this is for you! The company has announced the Mega Drive Mini 2, and will include Sega CD games too!
Taken from Engagdet … Sega is set to relive some of its past glories once again with another retro console. The company has announced the Mega Drive Mini 2. While the system has only been confirmed for Japan for now, it seems likely Sega will bring it to other markets as well. If and when it comes to the US, it’ll probably be called the Genesis Mini 2.
The Mega Drive Mini 2 will include Sega CD games in its lineup of 50 titles. The full list hasn’t been revealed, but it includes Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Virtua Racing and Shining Force CD. It also features Fantasy Zone, which was never released on Mega Drive/Genesis — it was an arcade title that arrived on Master System. It’s worth noting the library may be different in other countries.
Sega says all of the games have been faithfully reproduced. You’ll be able to save your progress at any point too.
The company will release the Mega Drive Mini 2 in Japan on October 27th. It will cost ¥9,980 (around $75). Sega is also making a cosmetic attachment that looks like an adorably smaller version of the Sega CD accessory. Using an included spacer, you can mount the original Mega Drive Mini, which is slightly larger than its successor, as well. The Sega CD attachment will cost ¥4,500 (roughly $37).
