Sega announced last year back in April that it would be joining the retro console boom by launching the Mega Drive Mini (Genesis in North America). After dealing with delays due to quality issues and parting ways with AtGames, who was initially tapped to help make the console, the company announced the classic system will launch this year in September.
Sega made the announcement during its annual fan event in Tokyo Sega Fes 2019. When it launches, it will have 40 games pre-loaded into the system offering more than Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic and Sony’s PlayStation retro console. While not blowing its whole load, it revealed 10 games fans of the iconic system could look forward to and they are:
The miniature version of the 16-bit console when it launches on September 19 will allow players to continue where they left off from in games, come with two wired classic three-button controller (six-button in Japan) and HDMI ports for HD gaming. As mentioned above, Sega ditched AtGames and will use its own M2 software to power the Genesis Mini. As far as price, Forbes reports a single-controller unit will cost $60 (6,980 yen), but if you want the two-controller console, it will cost an additional $20.
According to Sega’s official website, pre-order links will be coming soon and if gamers want to stay up to date on the console can sign up for the newsletter. This won’t be the only HD retro console that will give players a chance to play Genesis games, Analogue also announced it will be dropping a console named Mega Sg as well.
Nothing wrong with having options right?

No, it’s not the Mega Drive retro console that Sega is dropping eventually, but Analogue’s Mega Sg HD retro console might be the blast from the past fans of the iconic video game company have been waiting for.
Analogue has already released its HD Super Nintendo (Super Nt) console which by the way received rave reviews, and they are hoping for the same with the Mega Sg. For a very pricey $190 owners of the Mega Sg will be able to play the classic games they loved on the system in glorious 1080p with 48KHz 16-bit stereo sound.
What really separates Analogue’s retro console apart from the rest is its ability to play more games thanks to it being compatible with over 2,180 games. Unlike the competition’s systems that come pre-loaded with about 20 games, Analogue’s console will allow users to use actual Sega Genesis, Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System game cartridges, so if you still own any you can blow the dust off them.
The one drawback to the console is that it will not come with a controller, those will be sold separately for $25, but if you still have working Genesis controllers, you’re already ahead of the game. The price may scare some retro gamers away making them settle for the cheaper consoles but for what Analogue delivers the $190 price point for the Mega Sg seems very reasonable.
The Mega Sg will come in four colorways: white, gray, and two black consoles with different color accents. The console is slated for an April 2019 release, Analogue is currently taking pre-orders on its site. Are you guys feeling Analogue’s new retro system? Is the price point too high?
