Not to mention that got a re-release not too long ago, so I'm sure asking the publisher should be pretty easy. Even if that anniversary edition is the much more definite way to play that. I do wonder how they'll handle the video quality for FMV titles, now that I think about it.
That is exactly what it is.
Thanks! Yeah, I'd likely just stick with a western version if it gets a confirmed release...just have a nagging feeling that it won't for some reason lol.
Tbh I did not say they were games not present on the mini 1, just the ones I'd like in my "perfect" mini.
People were saying that because Retro-Bit has the exclusive rights to the 6 button pad, Sega (and Nintendo for the Switch) can't sell the 6B in the West.
As far as I can tell that's just a licensing deal and not even an exclusive one. Sega did the 3 button overseas for nostalgia's sake going by interviews, I don't think it's really more complicated than that.
Hmm, why would Nintendo also sell the 3B in the West, though...
Probably also nostalgia. The 3B was what most used in the west tbh.
Not really here in Western Europe. All my friends that had a MD got the 6B pretty early in the MD lifecycle. And the MD2 bundles all came with a 6B.
The 6-button didn't come out until 1993. I always associate it with the later part of the system's life cycle but maybe other countries think differently.
I mean, the 6B didn't even release until late 1993 (alongside SF2SCE) and didn't come packed-in with any hardware until the ($399) US CDX in 1994. It was a pretty late cycle addition and in the US marketed almost exclusively for fighting and sports games, Sega actually never packed it in with core Genesis models iirc.
So ugly tho
Just skip the Genesis 3 Mini and go to the CDX Mini then?
What are the other 3?
Yeah, the MD situation was a bit different in EU. Here's a 1993 bundle from UK:
Ah we're counting the mini arcades with little screens. Yeah I guess they're similar enough.

It is certainly worth considering as we have that new cartoon on the way and this is easily the best version of the game to this day. Ecco CD is especially iconic for the hardware too so while I am sure some would complain of covering the same ground with games like that it is too significant to ignore entirely.One game I'd really like but won't happen because it's on the first mini, technically speaking:
I suppose that is possible, but the decapitation scene is seriously like thirty minutes into the game. I feel like if I had the device as a child I absolutely would have gotten that far in through brute force.
Wondermega is one of the coolest looking machines, that would be amazing but would probably never happen.
that would be awesome.
