Oh man, if this thing can be hacked like the PS Classic, SNES Classic & NES Classic, I'd be thrilled. The Genesis was my first console. So many fond memories.
Everything can get hacked.

Eternal Champions a) sucks, b) is a 3-punch, 3-kick game a la SF and c) is a PEGI 18 game, so it won't be on the EU version at the very least.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question - are you shocked that Eternal Champions was rated so highly for violence?WTF? How? Did they just inherit the old ELSPA rating for ECCD and not realise that they're different games?
Oh shit, yeah! Skitchin' or even better, Road Rash 2! 3 was good too, but 2 is a classic.
Also, I feel this is a good place to post that any Mega Drive/Genesis fans owe it to themselves to get a copy of the Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works book by ReadOnlyMemory. It's a delight, full of pages upon pages of art, diagrams, translated documents, interviews and articles about the history of the MD, its creation and many of its games. Full fold-out blueprints for the original production sketches of the system are included. It's one of my favourite games books. (There's a Dreamcast one coming out soon too)

If so, take a gander at this:
Eternal Champions fatalities and overkills make Mortal Kombat look like an evening at Chuck-E-Cheese eating their recycled pizza by comparison.
Eh, there's at least 20 to 30 games released in English that could fill up a Saturn Classic. Here's my own list.

I expect these to be the remaining twenty games for the Western version of the Mega Drive Mini:
Alien Soldier
Dynamite Headdy
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Golden Axe
Herzog Zwei

Monster World IV
Phantasy Star II

They've already addressed the possibility of a Saturn Mini, they don't think they could manufacture a cost-effective device with the power to adequately emulate Saturn games at today's prices.

I think he's saying that all the really brutal stuff is in the CD version, not the cartridge version, and that the cart version doesn't warrant such a high rating.
Oh shit, yeah! Skitchin' or even better, Road Rash 2! 3 was good too, but 2 is a classic.

Well, it seems as though games with multiple installments are announced in a chronological manner. So, for example, first Sonic 1, then Sonic 2. If The Revenge of Shinobi would be in, it would've made sense to announce that game before confirming Shinobi III. This is also the reason why I believe the first SOR won't be included.
I hope you're wrong lolWell, it seems as though games with multiple installments are announced in a chronological manner. So, for example, first Sonic 1, then Sonic 2.

It's just a theory though, so I could be wrong.
Yeah, I agree I messed up with Phantasy Star II. Swap that one with IV and my list will probably be a more accurate prediction.I think it will be close to this but no way they put Phantasy Star II instead of IV. Also I think Wonderboy in Monster World is more likely than IV.
On the one hand you're correct that they're both bona fide classics (man, the hours I've put into those games, especially SOR...), but on the other hand I accept that some series have to drop a few installments to make room for games that haven't been ported as often.I hope you're wrong lol
It wouldn't be a Sega Genesis to me without The Revenge Of Shinobi and the OG Streets Of Rage.

Conclusion: Dear Sega, please put 100 games on the Mega Drive Mini 2, k thx bye

I mean sure, I'm not saying there aren't at least 20 games you could find, I'm just sceptical of the viability of such a thing in the market. In general I'd also avoid any of the arcade ports that don't run well (OG Daytona USA on Saturn is a real nightmare, for example)
I'd probably choose:
-NiGHTS into Dreams
-Burning Rangers
-Deep Fear
-Panzer Dragoon
-Panzer Dragoon Zwei
-Panzer Dragoon Saga
-Shining Force III
-Shining The Holy Ark
-Dragon Force
-Virtua Fighter 2
-Fighters Megamix
-Clockwork Knight
-Sega Rally Championship Plus
-Hang-On GP '95
-Virtual-On: Cyber Troopers
-Legend of Oasis
-Dark Savior
-Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold
-Saturn Bomberman
-Rayman
-Tomb Raider
-Powerslave
With Sonic 1 and 2 already confirmed for the Western Mini, it would've made sense for Sonic 1 to have been announced for the Japanese Mini by now. Since only the second installment is confirmed for the JP Mini, I believe part 1 won't be released on it at all. Again, it's just a theory.Has Sonic the Hedgehog been announced for the Japanese Mega Drive yet? In the first batch of 10 games for it, they announced Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but not the first one. In our first batch of games, they announced Sonic the Hedgehog and then Sonic the Hedgehog 2, so with them announcing Streets of Rage 2 it's entirely possible that Streets of Rage 1 could be announced next, being as there seems to be no sequel logic to how they chronologically announce releases.
That would be seriously goofy on Sega's part to not release one of their biggest IP's and one of their best selling games ever for their Japanese system.With Sonic 1 and 2 already confirmed for the Western Mini, it would've made sense for Sonic 1 to have been announced for the Japanese Mini by now. Since only the second installment is confirmed for the JP Mini, I believe part 1 won't be released on it at all. Again, it's just a theory.
Only 2 games different from ours.Btw, the Asia version, which has Sword of Vermillion and Outrun 2019, is getting:
MUSHA Aleste
Castle of Illusion
World of Illusion
Sonic 1
Contra Hard Corps
Streets of Rage 2
Landstalker
Super Fantasy Zone
Thunder Force III
Game no Kanzume Otokuyou
http://asia.sega.com/mdmini/cht/
6So far the Asia lineup is looking like the best one imo. Does it come with 3 or 6 button controllers?

I've played it a few times and I liked it. Not a classic by far, but it's pretty fun (and fast). I would prefer getting 2019 on the Mini instead of regular Out Run, because if I wanted to play classic Out Run I'd play the arcade version instead of the MD version.Is Outrun 2019 any good btw? Never played it but honestly even the MD version of the original looks better to me...

Nope, it's dull to look at, the music is kinda bad and the sound effects are very grating - it wasn't originally an Outrun game and it shows. Outrunners also wasn't great on the Mega Drive but at least as a rare curiosity it'd be more worthwhile than 2019.Is Outrun 2019 any good btw? Never played it but honestly even the MD version of the original looks better to me...
Presumably they want everything playable in english. The cut games are all text heavy Japanese only titles.That's really weird. Why are they getting a mix of US/EU and Japan's lineup? Why not just Japan's one?
people in here actually beggin for Eternal Champions, of all games
love yourselves
You read that correctly - unfortunately.Did I read correctly that in the US it won't come with the 6 button controller?

Different licensing situations, perhaps.Then why not just have the US/EU list of games?
It's a bit weird that they bothered to make a bespoke lineup just for them!
