Serious question.
Why do people get excited about an ARM SoC running an emulator on top of Linux?
This is not a "sega genesis" any more than my laptop is. It could as easily be a SNES or even a PS2 with the right software installed.

I really want to know if the Working Designs games are doing to be on the North American version. Night Trap is "so bad xDDD" but I wish they hadn't wasted a slot on it when there are way better SEGA CD games out there.

I think it's neat that it's an official release from SEGA, and yeah the design adds to the novelty factor. You can do all of this and more on a $15 TV stick, though it's nice to see SEGA giving some of these titles recognition, especially the SEGA CD ones. Sad there's no 32X on it, too

I'll probably skip it myself due to the price, but it's still fun to look at

Holy shit this is a good fucking port of Space Harrier 1. Graphics are intact and the framerate, while not 60fps, is decent enough I think. Though maybe that's just the YouTube compression? I dunno.

Mega Drive 2 ended up having a really nice game list. Glad I got one ordered.

The Genesis 2 though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQfjjlt13Ss

Seems like it’s more or less the leftovers as a lot of these were on complication carts back in the day. Might end up cancelling my Genesis mini and just sticking with the Mega Drive.

Really happy with the Mega Drive, kinda disappointed with the Genesis, but it’s what I expected.

Amazon jp got some back in stock, though they are a bit more expensive than they initially were (only by 300 yen). Even after shipping that’s still quite a bit cheaper than the Genesis Mini 2.

Yeah, I think imma cancel it. It may get rare, but it also feels like a glorified 6-Pak. None of the game selection looks like they really tried too hard, and to spend $130 bucks on a novelty is kind of silly, where as almost all the games on the Mega Drive 2 look like something I actually want to play. Thank goodness I can read a little moon runes.

Sega has announced the Genesis 2 will only get the initial run. The Mega Drive 2 on the other hand shouldn’t be as limited as it has already sold out and restocked before it has even been released. Plus, the JP versions of mini consoles don’t tend to appreciate that much in price.

- Cool.

- Also a highly demanded title. Good choice.
>>Ragnacenty AKA Crusader of Centy/Soleil
- Another good solid choice. Crusader of Centy is basically a Link to the Past clone, in many ways. Though it has a few of it's own unique gameplay ideas. It's no where near the length of LTTP. But a good action RPG.
>>Midnight Resistance
It's a good port. Soundtrack is ace. But controls take some time to get use to. The arcade cab uses some swivel game stick that can do 8-way circle aiming. So the Mega Drive game had to adapt that to three buttons. But it's a good port, and also another 8-meg cartridge that came out after Strider.
>>Chelnov AKA Atomic Runner
Interesting choice.
>>Honoo no Tokyuuji Dodge Danpei
A Dodgeball game. This one looks kind of fun.
>>Captain Tsubasa (Sega CD)
Very Japanese FMV type game?
>>Super Locomotive (new arcade port by M2)
Interesting. I have never seen Super LocalMotive. It is interesting how much new content has been coming from M2 for the MD.

No Snatcher here. But I wonder if it will appear on the US version? I am surprised that something like Panarama Cotton didn't make the cut, given it's rarity.

Did they not include Switch (i.e. Panic) in the line-up? Admittedly it was a weird fucking game, and by most metrics not even a *good* game, but I love the sheer insanity of it. It's emblematic of 90s era SEGA madness. Would be saddening if it were to just be left forgotten by SEGA. Would be better if we got a proper sequel.

The Mega Drive port of Midnight Resistance is pretty close to the Data East arcade original in many ways. It runs at the same 320x224 resolution, sprites look about the same size. The Data East game has a lot more colour, unsurprisingly. It also has some extra art/ tiles and audio voice clips. The soundtrack is one of the areas that might be better on the MD. The arcade game uses a joystick with a rotation mechanism on it that allowed for aiming. The MD controls aren't as intuitive. But you can adapt to them.

Not in that quality you can't. 3D printers, especially consumer/prosumer ones, print very ugly items because they only cost a few hundred-to-thousand dollars and aren't made for professional work. Your print layers and edges will look handmade as fuck.

Why would it be? It's a well-built emu box. Like I said, it AND the first Genesis Mini are very well-made and play games great. Come with great USB pads too. The TG16 Mini's controller has more cord than you'd ever need and the turbo switches and everything work a treat.
>The sound innacuracies have been well documented, not to mention the pixel shimmer.
I never notice any of that. If it's there it's not noticeable. I can't imagine anyone finding these issues unless they autistically look for them. Oh wait, retro gamers are 70% autists, 20% regular lovers of retro games, and 10% hipsters that just collect to collect.

My POV with these mini systems is, if they're nice looking, come with great games, and have great controllers, there's no harm in buyfagging.

It's there, and it's a long enough running problem that it should be fixed, like maybe actually replacing this shitty kernel. Doubly so concerning it's M2 and they should know better. And the Genesis mini 1 objectively has bad sound reproduction on M2's behalf:

Yeah but I never notice this because I don't listen to the emulated version next to a real genesis. I don't even own a real genesis. I also don't compare the Mini to my PC or Wii setup, again because I'm not an autist and I do not care. Let's be straight here, the Genesis itself is a buggy POS at times with different models having different faults. Just like older SNES models have shitty power regulators that fry CPUs. Home consoles are by and large cheap shit. Even the PS5 is laughably cheap and crappy compared to decent PC parts or actual quality electronics like Keithley power supplies or Tektronix scopes that cost $2000+.

The PS5 is seen as "expensive" but the goddamned thing costs less in MSRP than the step-down flagship graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia(6800 and 3080 respectively). There's a reason for this. It's a piece of shit. Just like the TG16, Genesis, and SNES were. Because people are tight-fisted about gaming consoles. Remember how much people BAWWWW'd at the PS3 being FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DORRAR? And that POS too fried the balls on its BGA packages, because of retarded engineers designing down to a price, because people are cheap fucks. They'll go out and buy some shitty $200(BOM and labor) smartphone with a micro-dick screen for $800+, but whine about having to pay $500 for a gaming system. People thought the Neo Geo AES was a luxury item at a time when many households had $1500 PCs that dad only used to create shitty spreadsheets for work, and he let the kids play absolutely SHIT games on.

Thanks for the head's up on the TG16 Mini though. Like I said, shitty engineering. I always use my SNES Classic power supply and haven't had any problems.

Honestly I would've been fine if they just avoided the FMV games aside from Starblade, yeah that was originally part of the selling point of the SEGA CD but it deserves to be remembered for those games that made it onto the MD2 Mini and stuff like Snatcher. Still not a terrible list overall but it's weird to see they didn't bring some of those titles over, especially Popful Mail which is literally the only official English version of that game.

I've been enjoying SEGA CD games all year long via-RetroArch but I'm glad to see some of these games finally getting some recognition from SEGA. Even better if more people are finally able to discover and play them this way. It's more accessible for average Joe (provided they can afford it) than setting up RetroArch on a TV stick and still way more affordable than buying the original hardware and games.

Well these little trinkets are how you get young blood into retro gaming so they can buy more roms on those stores, because game companies are in fact in the BUSINESS of selling games.

Retards like me just like having cool little officially-branded physical products. I buy these things as much for the controllers as I do the games, maybe more so.

Im guessing the reason Snatcher isnt on is because of some issues with paying Konami.

Sewer Shark and Panic on Funkotron were never released in Japanese, either, yet here is Sega (in Japanese audio, when you get to the games listings) promoting the Genesis Mini 2 to a Japanese audience with those games on it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MN2-9qYY57Q

Not necessarily (though I've read on /vr/ that NES and Genesis homebrew is not hard to make). M2 are dedicated game engineers and nerds. They've done things like this a lot. See if you can find their 3DS Sega 3D Classics "Giga Drive" interviews for some fun details on this.

Why should that matter, though? You'd think they'd want the English version out there for Americans, Canadians, Brits, and ESLs to want to support Konami's products. Plus, they're promoting English-language games to Japan's game fans in that ad there (meaning they'd probably think "Hollywood Snatcher" would be cool to own, as well).

Played through it recently, too. Glad they included it here (I had forgotten that they bought out Atlus, so I thought it had little chance for an American re-release). It's a lot of fun, perhaps too dramatic. It's not that much like Zelda, but also feels somewhat like Secret of Mana mixed with something like the Game Gear Shinobis. A lot of fun, in any case.

I have to give some credit to EA for adding more games to the mini collection. They only added Road Rash II to the Mini 1. EA was a big third party on the Genesis/ Mega Drive between 1990 to 1997. My only complaint are the lack of sports games. I understand the licensing issues. But, something like Mutant League Football or Mutant League Hockey could have worked. This US Mini 2 is going to be sold as a limited release, so I guess it's not going for a wider appeal to the general consumer.

Hasbro was working with the founder of Atari (Nolan Bushnell) to design a new game console that would use VHS tapes. I guess the tapes would stream video and send computer data, or something. Digital Pictures was founded to make games for the system. They developed Night Trap in 1987 and Sewer Shark in 1988. The console was cancelled. The footage sat around until 1992, when they decided to just make the game for the Sega CD. Though before the Sega CD, Tom Zito (Digital Pictures) said that Sony was actually interested in publishing both Night Trap and Sewer Shark for the SNES Playstation CD.

Night Trap was filmed in 1987, you can see the filming dates in the clapboards in this 'dangerous games' documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Okt1hPJAmc&t=269s

Sewer Shark was said to be filmed in 1988. It kind of shows, when you can see the Aliens (1986) and even Innerspace (1987) influence.

Night Trap for the Sega CD does have a newer intro that was filmed for the Sega CD. Sega hired the actors for the SCAT team sections and filmed a new intro, and new 'game over screens'. The Sega CD intro has the SCAT commander holding up a Genesis game pad. While in the original 1987 footage, he is holding a prototype Hasbro controller.

here's a small write up I can find on Sewer Shark:

" In 1987 the Isix (pre Digital Pictures) team started development on the interactive movie Night Trap and Sewer Shark. After filming Sewer Shark at a cost of $3 million Hasbro announced on October 19, 1988 that it has decided to pull the plug on its secretive $26 million video game console as it would be too expensive for most families to purchase."

https://vglegacy.com/developers/digital-pictures/

Sewer Shark cost 3-4 Million dollars US in 1988 money. It was filmed by a special effects guru named John Dykstra. Who made the miniatures for the original Star Wars, and continues to work to this day. This is his only directing credit.

It wasn't cheap, and still looks really good, even today. The movie has shades of Aliens (1986) but mostly draws influence from image related. Innerspace from 1987. Innerspace has actor Dennis Quaid in a tiny ship and yelling at martin Short.

90% of the people who want to play it in english dont even know about the lightgun option.

On that Mortal Kombat point. I think the only "I can't believe they left that one out" game that Sega fully owns and doesn't have to license was Eternal Champions CD. Especially now that is considered to be a real cult classic these days. I wonder was it too violent and Sega wanted to be cautious since majority of the titles are E to T rated and didn't want a huge controversy on a really, even more violent than MK2 or 3 title on there.

For all the controversy about Night Trap, the ESRB actually re-rated it as a T For Teen game when it was given the 25th anniversary re-release. So that's in the clear. Wonder if the m-rating is why Sega wouldn't go after MK1 and 2 for the original mini and this one as well.

Companies had shit contracts so he ended up owning the localized scripts for quite a few of these. Xseed for psp lunar 1 ( a different game technically) wanted to initially cooperate with him and the og voice actors but that didn't happen, and the split wasn't amicable. Xseed redid the translation (a big plus, since npc lines in the original were random bullshit) and had some og vas do some npcs, even the ship song was by the same lady. Vic ireland trashed everyone involved in his own forum, was supremely annoyed by his increasing irrelevance, then a more direct ps1 lunar port to iphone happened and used xseed's version. So his forum organized a "fan campaign" to remove that and replace it with vic's script. Game arts still didn't buy the rights, so he made a show of relinquishing them to allow it to happen. And then they did use it at the detriment of the game.
Fast forward 2022, those rights were incomplete, vic ireland still owned the voice acting rights. And the script was the ps1 version so there might be even more fuckery.

Lunar 1 had soft subs in many scenes but those were removed in the us scd version, meaning it can't be released in its current form, unless they got supper or another romhacker to make a rom with the asset combination that's legal enough to release.

As for the money vic ireland (whom sega wanted to compensate and tracked down) wanted for the voice rights alone, it was more than the licensing of an entire game by falcom or game arts for the sega mini 2. Retranslating the game would make more sense, but they didn't do that and used their modding budget for a handful of new ports (one is a quiz game with redone questions)

And that's why nip games are much more anal with rights issues to this stuff to avoid these situations. Anything WD is affected, even the psn versions were technically published by them/gaijinworks directly.

Sewer Shark is oddly one of the better Sega CD FMV games. The FMV was grainy, but they did what they could with the limited Sega CD palette. The framerate is smooth.

I think Sega knows they sorta scuffed the Genesis 2 compared to the Mega Drive. Checked today and the Genesis 2 is already 10 bucks off, compared to the Mega Drive 2 which actually got more expensive after their first wave of preorders sold out.

I think the region switching only involves switching from the Mega Drive Mini 2's game list to the Genesis Mini 2's game list and vice versa, meaning both region's consoles have all those games announced on each of them on both.

Crusader of Centy is the US version of Soleil/Ragnacenty, and unlike those versions, the translation was handled by Atlus USA.

Back then similar publishing agreements weren't careful enough to assert clearly that the developers owned the English script, resulting in situations like Harvest Moon's script (not just the name) and Lufia 2 owned by Natsume not Marvelous/Taito, Breath of Fire's owned by Squaresoft not Capcom (they later rectified it), most of the stuff Working Designs touched, Terranigma/Illusion of Gaia and PAL versions of major Squaresoft games and Mega Man 6 owned by Nintendo of Europe not Quintet/Square Enix/Capcom.
Rereleases are still possible if the Western publisher is professional enough to play ball and ask for reasonable compensation (indeed it seems Soleil will be multi-language and include all variants), but it's just as likely they get greedy or petty and sabotage the entire thing.

Atlus USA could have sabotaged this but didn't. But it helps they're part of Sega.

M2 learned their lesson from their Darius MD port that got dumped immpediately. Not only their ROMs are packaged in an obfuscated format (unlike the ones in Nintendo consoles, which just have the plain ROM), but they also use a different opcode table from the one on the original console, that their proprietary emulator translates on-the-fly.
