<p>Sega will <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/sega-genesis-mini-announced-releases-on-september-19th">at last be putting out</a> an honest-to-goodness internally developed Sega Genesis Mini, much in the vein of Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini and SNES Classic Mini consoles. It’s due out this year, and naturally, fans of Sega’s glorious 16-bit days are excited. But is this a one time thing, or might we expect Sega to continue producing these?</p>
<p>For instance, could they not follow this up with a Sega Saturn Mini? The Sega Saturn was famously a failure, thanks to an extremely complicated hardware architecture, high pricing, and lack of third party support, but over the years it’s developed a cult following—not to say anything of Japan, where it actually did better than the N64. So there would be a few people who would want a Sega Saturn Mini, right?</p>
<p>But don’t expect it any time soon, if you are one of those people. Speaking to  <a class="external" href="https://jp.ign.com/megadrive-mini/34431/news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IGN Japan</a>, Hiroyuki Miyazaki, who is leading the Genesis Mini project, pointed to the cost of the chips necessary for Saturn emulation as the big roadblock to having it be a reality.</p>
<p>“It may be possible in 10 years. By that time the necessary chips should be cheaper,” he said.</p>
<p>As noted, the Saturn’s architecture was famously complex—it was the Cell of its time, with multi-core CPUs far before multi-core CPUs became a thing, and a bevy of components thrown together in a mad dash to match the PlayStation’s raw hardware power (spoiler: it didn’t). Still, I hope it won’t actually take ten years—like many, I too would love to play Saturn games again, and a Saturn Classic would be a great reason to do so.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-392303" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini.jpg" alt="Sega Genesis Mini" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini.jpg 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sega-Genesis-Mini-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Hopping aboard the trend of re-releasing older consoles in miniature versions, Sega has <a href="http://genesismini.sega.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announced</a> the Genesis/Mega Drive Mini. It will retail for $79.99 and release on September 19th, with a whopping 40 games included. This version of the console is based on the Model 1 Genesis, which originally launched in August 1989 in North America.</p>
<p>The first ten games that Sega confirmed would be coming to the platform are:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em></li>
<li><em>Ecco the Dolphin</em></li>
<li><em>Castlevania: Bloodlines</em></li>
<li><em>Space Harrier II</em></li>
<li><em>Shining Force</em></li>
<li><em>Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine</em></li>
<li><em>ToeJam &amp; Earl</em></li>
<li><em>Comix Zone</em></li>
<li><em>Altered Beast</em></li>
<li><em>Gunstar Heroes</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Along with 40 games, consumers will also receive two replica Genesis controllers with USB functionality, a USB to micro-B power cable, a power adapter (in North America only)m and an HDMI cable. Sega also confirmed that M2, which worked on the <em>Sega Ages</em> and <em>Sega 3D Classics Collection</em>, would handle porting the games.</p>
<p>Given Sega&#8217;s library of classics, re-releasing the Genesis with these games included is a pretty good idea. Time will tell if, as far as its quality is concerned, it&#8217;s more in line with Nintendo&#8217;s <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/nintendos-nes-mini-has-sold-out-on-amazon">NES Mini</a> and <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/nes-classic-mini-and-snes-classic-mini-combined-sales-are-now-at-10-million-units">SNES Mini</a> and less akin to <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/playstation-classic-uses-50hz-pal-versions-for-nearly-half-its-games-in-north-america-and-europe">Sony&#8217;s PlayStation Classic</a>. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months regarding the remaining games.</p>
