Sega Mini Is Coming, But With What Games? [Updated]

The big news recently is that Sega is finally ready to launch their true competitor to Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic consoles. While it is true that Sega has licensed out their console brand and game libraries to At Games in the past for a retro console experience, those offerings were plagued with terrible controllers and emulation. In response, Sega pulled the development of their latest retro console experience in-house and will release it this year on September 19th.

However, much like Sony, Sega is holding some of its cards close to its chest. While we know that we will be getting a Genesis 1 formatted console and two of the 3-button controllers with HDMI output for $80, we only know 10 of the 40 announced games. Those games are Ecco the Dolphin, Castlevania Bloodlines, Space Harrier II, Shining Force, Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, ToeJam & Earl, Comix Zone, Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast, and Gunstar Heroes.

So, just as with previous retro console releases and rumors, here is Andrew’s and my ideas and hopes for what will make up the other 30 games on the Sega Genesis Mini. Titles unique to each list are in orange. [Update] Confirmed titles are in green. [Update 2] Sega Confirmed the next 10 games.

We have no idea when Sega will announce the rest of their selection, but we call all agree it can’t be any worse that Sony’s finalized lineup.
