That was Eternal Champions CD though, the cart version of Eternal Champions was comparatively tame:
Yeah, why not. As long as it's not the usual suspects.
Nonetheless, the Megadrive mini is already very different from Snes because they didn't add (yet?) SFII, Ghoul's and Ghost already at Nintendo.
That's the magic of Sega VS Nintendo wars . Nintendo had the real capcom, Square, Rare ? Sega the shadow killers Treasure, Climax, Nex Tech.
For the moment, Sega didn't bring the Mario variation called Kid Chameleon (Sonic with its vertical level design offers different sensations).
SNES mini has Final Fantasy, Zelda, the Megadrive mini completely different universes with Shining Force, Landstalker (probably Phantasy Star) and Rent a Hero in Japan.
Nintendo presents Kirby games, punch out, Sega responds with Schmups, BTA.
The star Fox counter part of the megadrive could be Virtua Racing...
Even the same franchises have their own personality like Castlevania 4 and Bloodlines.
16 bits era is the perfect incarnation of the why not both gif :)
I distinctly recall Alisia Dragoon being listed in a Game Arts survey when asking for games the fans want ported to PC. I do not think it is off the table completely, but I am not actively expecting it.
40 games is a lot too. There are going to be some unfortunate exclusions no matter what, but SEGA needs to establish their biggest franchises in here as much as possible. This is going to reach a far larger audience than any of their past ports outside of maybe Sonic Mega Collection.
Devil's Crush would be perfect for a TurboGrafx-16 Mini though. I doubt that will ever happen, but if even half as much love is being put into it as the Genesis Mini is then I will be there day one for sure!
I do agree that now is the time to bring in unexpected and hard to license games, but this is going to be the ultimate representation of the console ever. They should properly respect it's legacy by including as many of their top quality and genre defining classic games as possible, especially if they already own those games. Shinobi III with no The Revenge of Shinobi would be like the Super Nintendo Classic having Yoshi's Island, but no Super Mario World. It is just not right.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point, and it bugs me out that it's even a valid possibility.
That's great but a little sour the West isn't getting MUSHA, that's more desirable than most stuff on there to me. Also thought it was odd they went TF 3 instead of 4.
But still, pretty happy with how this thing is shaping up. Sega's been telling influencers we haven't seen anything yet, but not sure what's left that's going to blow minds.

Interesting but we'll never agree.
One solution then.
Sega fans need the entire library downloadable officially on the mini :). (4 dollars ?)
I'll buy 50 additional games. ;)
I remember renting Alisia Dragoon several times when I first got my Mega Drive, when I was about 6. I liked it, but I was young enough that I didn't get through much of it because I remember it being quite hard? I've never really thought about it until now. It'd be trippy to play it again.
How does Gainax own the IP for it if Game Arts developed it? I would've expected it to go to Enix then S-E.

Didn't M2 make Gauntlet IV for the Sega Genesis?
Exactly.
I think it has a very good chance of being included just because Yuzo Koshiro did the soundtrack and it is such a legendary game. It's one of the main reasons I wanted a Sega Genesis as a 14 year old.
The same goes for Streets Of Rage.
How cool would that be if after they announce all 40 games, they come out and say "Alright, here's 10 more to make it an even 50. See you September 19th."
Lol
Sega is crazy :)
Seriously, we need Sega Stores. Why not on Sega mini ? Many are hacking their Snes mini, i'm sure many of them would pay for official new games on it. :)

I would legit cry if I was able to play Alisia Dragoon again.
Nintendo had the Shonen Jump Famicom in Japan, so there is a precedent
What is this Famitsu poll and what games made it to this poll?
It doesn't make you a bad person; it does however make you a person of very fine, exquisite taste.
It was a Poll fromFamitsu. They did it for fun (writers, editors) but obviously Sega listened to them:
1.) Shining Force: The Legacy of great Intention
2.) Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole
3.) Gunstar Heroes
4.) MUSHA
5.) Shining in the Darkness
5.) Vampire Killer
7.) Advanced Daisenryaku: Doitsu Dengeki Sakusen
7.) Contra: The Hard Corps
7.) Sonic the Hedgehog
7.) Phantasy Star II
7.) Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyo Toitsusen

Another poll of Japanese gamers in 2016 could give us clues:
10. Outrun - 45 votes
9. Altered Beast - 57 votes
8. Powerball - 75 votes
7. Landstalker - 84 votes
6. Ghosts 'n Goblins - 93 votes
5. Gunstar Heroes - 105 votes
4. Streets of Rage - 123 votes
3. Puyo Puyo - 168 votes
2. Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention - 201 votes
1. Sonic the Hedgehog - 371 votes
("Most memorable game")
In both polls, you can find already announced games for the mini (there are almost 1000 genesis games, Musha Aleste, Vampire Killer, Hard Corps, power ball cannot be blind luck)
Man... such a great list. I just hope you're able to pull the ROMs off it like you can with the NES Classic so I can use them on my Mega SG, which I do for my NES Classic ROMS on my AVS, and my SEGA Collection ROM from Steam that I currently use on my Mega SG (unfortunate you seemingly can't really do it with the games on the SNES Classic).
Not if it's the Japan version.
That goes double for Hard CORPS.
No you have good taste. I always preferred 3 over 2. 2 got better music but that's it for me. 3 plays so much better with the dashing, rolling, meter for supers and I find it looks better too. The NA version is just way too hard.
Not a all - although if I were given the option between Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 3 - regardless of the version of Streets of Rage 3 - it would be a hands-down victory for Streets of Rage :)
The thing to remember with the Illusion games and certain others, like a lot of the early Sega-made Capcom ports and such, is that Sega owns the games themselves which makes them less expensive to license than they would be if they were 100% externally-owned.
I know I'm in the minority here but I think World of Illusion and Quackshot would have been fine and that Castle, World and Quackshot would be overdoing it--I know they don't get a ton of opportunities to reissue any of those games and they might as well go for broke but I really think Castle in particular doesn't hold up very well.
Yes, Sega would have to license the game.
The other hurdle for YuYu Hakusho is that the game gained popularity off the strength of its 4-player mode, which obviously won't be an option for the Mini.
Maybe Sega is preparing online play for Yuyu and 4 players story mode for SOR 2 ha ha :).:believe:
It's an admirable conversion but it's not a particularly good game or even a popular one, and it'd be lame for them to try and pass it off as the token fighting game.
I never get interested in these things because I find them to be clutter long term. I might buy one for Shinobi alone.
You can. The final Star Fox 2 ROM was ripped from the SNES Mini just hours after the system released!
Not at all, all three games have excellent music and with any luck, SoR4 will give us some more great tunes.
I have to say SoR2 is my all time favourite and this tune alone is one of my favourite in all of videogame music, it just keeps building, evolving and getting better:
Really happy with what has been revealed so far.
Main wish list for the upcoming additions:
Kid Chameleon
Strider
Ghouls & Ghosts
MUSHA
I'd also like Fire Shark but it doesn't have a huge following. I'd take Truxton in it's place.

Add The Revenge Of Shinobi, Streets Of Rage and Golden Axe to your list and the Sega Genesis Mini will be perfect.
As for Golden Axe, I really hope we only get the first one, as the 2 sequels aren't any good and that would waste 2 more slots.
I'm down, hopefully we'll see these in the last 20.
ETA: I wouldn't complain about Spider-man (vs the Kingpin) either.
While I'm at it, I'll throw in Super Monaco GP.
The racing genre has surpassed it long ago, but it's still arguably the best 16-bit racer and was the first game I bought for my Genesis (outside of the Altered Beast pack-in).
Not a must-have, but still a game I associate with the system.

I played Super Monaco 1 and 2 for the first time last year and they're pretty good. Also fairly impressive for the hardware. The first one would be a good inclusion (the second one would be even better except it's got Ayrton Senna all over it — licensing cost nightmare).
I think Virtua Racing would be a great inclusion as the racing game for the system. When it first released, it cost $100 because it incorporated a proprietary SVP chip which pushed the cost of the title to double the norm. It would be nice to have this in the collection as most people couldn't afford it back in the day.
And we're getting a new menu theme by this guy. The Sega Mini is going to be incredible.
my son an I beat streets of rage 2 together in coop yesterday! He was so excited.
It's nice to see these old games hold up and make a new generation of kids happy still. He's 6.

The launch price was brutal but it totally crashed in price within less than a year, at least where I live.
I think it would be the best racing game to include. It's smoother than any other 3d racing game on the system (not counting CD and 32X).
Yeah, that would be a solid inclusion. The 32X version would be even better, but I doubt they'll dip into that library.
It's a good game. I played recently in the last Genesis Collection and I replicate my fighting style with Sarah almost perfectly. That's was a shock to me lol. It doesn't look to hot but It plays fine. That being said, I rather another sidescroller like Ranger X or Alien Soldier to make it in instead
I always wanted to play those game as a child. Now they seems incredibly dated.
It hasn't been re-released since they found out Icecap is a direct rip-off of an unreleased Jetzons song, which happened around 2013. You can still buy it, but I'm guessing that's just Sega not wanting to call attention to it.
They could probably go in and change whatever offending music there is pretty easily, but that's probably too much work for them to bother with.
