The Mega Drive Mini, or Genesis Mini if you are over in North America, was originally announced with 40 games but the cheeky scamps at Sega were telling lies as the console will ship with 42 games.
The two bonus games that have been announced are Tetris and the classic shoot ‘em up Darius, “and you won’t need three monitors to enjoy all its legendary, aquatic-themed glory!” states the press release. Also included is Road Rash II, complete with two player split screen racing combat, and one of my favourite arcade games, Strider.
Here’s the full list of games:

That’s a pretty good list, especially as the console only costs £69.99. For that you get a dinky console approximately 55% the size of the original Model 1 Mega Drive, two replica three-button USB Genesis controllers, one USB to Micro-B power cable, and a HDMI cable. Although many of the Sega games included on the mini console are available as part of the Mega Drive Classics collections available on consoles this is the first time in ages you can play the likes of Road Rash II and Probotector.

The console will launch on September 19th world wide. For information head over to the official site.

Actually pretty tempted by this one. But I always find nostalgia never lived up to the expectations.

My first proper console with a decent handful of my first proper games… think the nostalgia element is gonna be too much for me to resist! Road Rash 2 is one of my fave games ever!
Also, just noticed the mini PS1 is only £40 on Amazon now.
