Following the success of its original Mega Drive / Genesis Mini, Sega has officially announced that a second iteration will be launching later this year, dubbed the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis 2. So far, Japan and North America are the only regions to receive confirmation of its release, but we’re expecting Europe to follow shortly after.
SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis 2 – What We Know So Far
So, What Is The Mega Drive Mini 2?
The Mega Drive Mini 2 is the second iteration of Sega’s miniature take on its classic 16-bit console. Sega itself describes it as a complete revamp of the first Mega Drive Mini, with improved hardware tucked away in a new design based on the Mega Drive Model 2.
The console will come bundled with 50 games, including a mixture of Mega Drive / Genesis titles and Mega CD titles. One controller will come with the console at retail, but Sega has also confirmed that controllers from the first iteration will be compatible with the Mega Drive Mini 2.
And When Is It Out, Please?
Sega has confirmed that the Genesis Mini 2 will release in North America on October 27th. Coincidentally, that’s also the confirmed release date for Japan.
In North America, the console will be exclusive to Amazon. You can find the product link at the bottom of this page.
Hang on, What About Europe?
Ah, yeah, well… It hasn’t been confirmed for Europe just yet. Don’t worry though, we’re sure an announcement is just around the corner! Maybe… We’ll let you know as soon as we know.
