Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - Pros & Cons

Always Enabled Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly
controls as well as the console are great quality
Great price point considering its content
the basics are certainly good enough
smooth and responsive
fantastic design and excellent emulation
arcade-y design is a perfect fit on the Nintendo Switch
simple
clean menu system
the emulation and the end results are mostly excellent
new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries
the emulation is generally really good
pleasingly straightforward controller
quality-of-life improvements that are very welcome
it s still a nice touch

It does not store any personal data
the battery pack cover is screwed in
it does not include batteries for the wireless controllers
SEGA Mega Drive Classic Game Console
no smoothing or sharpening settings and no CRT filter option
three-button controller limiting fighting games on the system
it doesn't have a headphone jack
email and try again
fighting games without the extra buttons is a special kind of misery
only hub that s specifically guaranteed to work is one by the Japanese brand Buffalo
computer opponents are really fast on the draw
and exclusives burned a lot less fiercely in the nineties
nowhere near as much as they are in modern day gaming
just feels wildly out of place
No one is left behind
the Mini lacks M2's usual depth of options and special features
will cause the menu to populate with Japanese cover art
original PAL letterboxing is completely eliminated
burying these alternate releases under language settings is unintuitive
the stereo headphone port on the front
Mega Man - The Wily Wars
the Switch compilation is not to be missed
The collection is also missing a game notes function
there s no way to customise controls
find related to sports on the console
The menu also feels a bit slippery and overly sensitive
games Tetris and Darius are nothing special on the surface
You are using an outdated browser
require the six button controller
having a unique gameplay structure
problems ranging from screen tearing or shimmering are completely avoided
s no version of the colorful puzzle game Puyo Puyo
RTX 4090 power adapter and only one is experiencing issues
it s hard to believe they were developed for the same hardware
sometimes obtuse nature and unforgiving difficulty
high definition graphics boast printed right on the casing
plastic shell didn't turn urine-yellow when left in sunlight
lack of visual modifiers is a disappointment
they rarely actually looked anything like the original hardware
Weird Al Movie Scored Fake
The included games library can scarcely be faulted
Sega Mega Drive Mini
cute as a button
prohibitively expensive to buy in cartridge form
There s no rewind function like on the SNES Mini
drop to three buttons is a bit of a culture shock to modern gamers

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini Review - Rad Retro Revival

Sega's mini console isn't the only way to play Genesis and Mega Drive classics, but it's a handsome little package with lots of games and plenty of charm.
