SEGA Genesis Mini 2: upgraded hardware can store more games than before including SEGA CD titles. The sequels to hit titles, hidden masterpieces that could only be played on the SEGA Genesis, ports of blockbuster arcade games, and new games you’ve never seen before! Pre-loaded with over 50 classic titles, even more than the SEGA Genesis Mini, more compact, more advanced.
The new SEGA Genesis Mini 2 is here available october 27th.
SEGA Genesis Mini 2 UK release date TBC
But where are the UK and European launch dates? It makes sense that the release of the SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2/Genesis Mini 2 should be simultaneous across the UK, France, Germany, etc. So, if it is being released on October 27 in Japan and the USA and Canada, can we expect it to hit shelves and doormats on the same day?
We’ll only know when SEGA tells us.
