Oh my god, the first 10 games were already nice ones, but this is getting even better. If we can just get Dynamite Headdy and Ristar as well, it will be perfect to me <3

Man, so is it too late to pre-order a Japanese version too??? Some of the games on the Japanese version would be fantastic to play. Japan also gets the better controller lol.
Wow.. even Earthworm Jim makes it on there. Is that the first non exclusive game, as in it was also on Super Nintendo, PC, etc?
Add Rocket Knight Adventures for a trio of platforming perfection.
My thing about the SNES Classic is the games overall are just as not as appealing for me. Outside of Earthbound, Super Metroid and Super Punch-Out, I don't care THAT much for Nintendo's output on it.
Also, seeing that both Sonic 1 and 2 were announced in separate events, i think there is a chance we will see thunderforce iii and iv.
While it looks nice and well done, $80 seems a bit much.
$50-60 would make a little more sense.

To be honest, I never really played it, but if it goes into this little gem, it would be a perfect way to finally take some time for me to get familiar with Rocket Knight =)
Oh I didn't know M2 handled the Wii VC emulation but that makes sense.
I will say that these days I'm more of EWJ2 guy. Its weird and experimental nature pushed me away as a kid but now I think that's what makes that game hold up better for me than EWJ1. The two things I really hate about EWJ2 though is the quiz (loved it the first time but it just drags the game down on replays) and the pocket rocket stages (I have a deep hatred for these stages in EWJ2 and like the quiz they really drag the game down). Other than that, I would recommend EWJ2 to anyone in 2019 and I wouldn't really recommend EWJ1.
Either way, EWJ1 is the more important game and a rad inclusion.
Yes though I will say, Sparkster (AKA Rocket Knight Adventures 2) is both the better game and far more difficult acquire (at least for a reasonable price) though honestly if both RKA games made it onto this thing it would be pretty rad.
This thing is ABSOLUTELY worth $80. The lineup is amazing and the best port house in the industry is developing it. Honestly, this product is worth $100.
I'm guessing that one is not happening
Glad you brought up S&K though because that made me think, why couldn't they just put that on there? All the music issues seem to relate exclusively to Sonic 3. It's not ideal but it'd be better than nothing.
No, Sonic 3 has all the MJ and friends tracks, S&K was all Sega in-house. What people want is the combined version of both (which already replaced stuff like boss themes with the S&K variants), but since that's probably not going to happen, standalone S&K shouldn't be a legal problem.
The S&K half of the game has no Michael Jackson music.
Then again, I forget if you can listen to the Sonic 3 stuff through the sound test, which would render the point moot.
edit: I just looked this up and S&K doesn't have any of the Sonic 3 tracks on it. It should be fine to include, legally speaking.

Jesus Christ.Holy crap, this is potentially huge on multiple levels if SEGA's been working with Disney on rereleasing their old stuff! This excerpt from a DualShockers article last year suddenly looks very promising:
"With Virtua Racing on Switch, [M2 will] reproduce the original arcade version and even improve it. They're using a functioning Sega Model 1 arcade system board for research. They've got a great grasp of it and could even make a Switch version of Model-1's Star Wars Arcade game if they had the authorization, and they hope they will."
I first played this last week. I was floored.
If they did this ( with decent fps)...
The situation with Sonic 3 is extremely dicey, so it'll probably require special attention from Sega to clear the rights to put it on this thing.
I see Shinobi III: Return Of The Ninja Master and Streets Of Rage 2 made the list - all I need now is:
The Revenge Of Shinobi
Streets Of Rage
Strider
Ghouls n' Ghosts
Alien Storm
The Adventures Of Batman & Robin
Alien Soldier
Golden Axe
Outrun
Super Thunder Blade
Ecco II: The Tides Of Time
E-Swat
Aladdin
Technocop
Joe Montana Football II Sports Talk Football
Eternal Champions
Dynamite Duke
Rocket Knight Adventures
Super Hang-On
Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle
The Revenge Of Shinobi
Streets Of Rage
Strider
Ghouls n' Ghosts
Alien Storm
The Adventures Of Batman & Robin
Alien Soldier
Golden Axe
Outrun
Super Thunder Blade
Ecco II: The Tides Of Time
E-Swat
Aladdin
Technocop
Joe Montana Football II Sports Talk Football
Eternal Champions
Dynamite Duke
Rocket Knight Adventures
Super Hang-On
Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle
That's actually a pretty good line-up. I beat most of those games in my youth, but I'll definitely play them again.
I don't really like mini-consoles and with the Analogue I don't need this, but M2 collections are a weak point for me. Damn.
I guess, but you don't think Sega already know that people want Sonic 3 etc and they will do what they can?
I *think* there were entries for the tracks but they don't actually play anything.

Yeah, I get that. Those three games and the third party titles are what enticed me the most along with Star Fox 2's novelty, even if it isn't all that great.
There's just nothing but back to back quality on all fronts so far with the Genesis Mini, though. When the worst thing I can say about the lineup is that Puyo Puyo 2 might have been a better US get than Mean Bean Machine, that's pretty good.
And hell, there's looking to be actual merit in getting both the US and JP consoles, and not for regional favoritism from Sega, but because there's just two many damn good games between the regions.
Sega is going all out with this. If there's ANY reasonable chance of a Sonic 3 and Knuckles re-release, it's happening here. If it's not included, don't expect to see those games brought back for a veeeery long time.
Even though I own two MegaDrives and most of those games already, I couldn't help it and pre-ordered this thing as soon as I read the new list of games.
Mega Drive is part of my childhood and if I bought the SNES mini I definitely need to get this. Can't wait to blast those SoR2 tunes on my home theater.

I don't recognize your posts anymore without the Little Mac lol.

Hell of a contrast to Capcom finally putting out Aliens Vs. Predator, but on a dumb looking cumbersome arcade stick with an emulator that may or may not be illegally used in the product.
What a week.
I wonder if we'll get Earthworm Jim 2. ToeJam and Earl would be great also. Awesome start for both regions so this is something I actually look forward to playing,
