Damn, those new announcements really make me want to pick this up now!!

Still no Sonic 2 for the NA Genesis though?

Wily Wars was my deciding game I think.  I'll need to get that pre-order in soon.

Sonic 2 IS in the NA Genesis lineup.

Ohh, I missed that second announcement

The second announcement also had Landstalker, Super Fantasy Zone, Streets of Rage 2, Shinobi III, Contra Hard Corps, Earthworm Jim, Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion and Thunder Force 3.

I feel they've thrown in a lot of surprise titles to differentiate this from the previous mini consoles or collections on other consoles. However I feel with just 10 games to go, that there's now some games that are on those collections that are sorely missed here.

Shining Force 2
Shining in the Darkness
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Streets of Rage
Alien Storm
Columns
Kid Chameleon

If any of those 9 games are missing I'd be disappointed. The four in bold I'd bet my house on being included.

Then you could still round it out with one last surprise inclusion; Aladdin or Road Rash would be my choice.

Here's the final 12 games for the US version

Alisia Dragoon
Columns
Dynamite Headdy
Eternal Champions
Kid Chameleon
Light Crusader
Monster World IV
Road Rash II
Strider
Virtua Fighter 2
Darius
Sega Tetris

I went with the Asian (non Japanese edition), as it contains the nearly all of the available games I want versus none that I don’t (compared to the JP and Western editions). Also, two six button controllers.

Might be worth it for Gunstar Heroes alone.

I remember back in the day I bought it for $19.99 plus tax from Toys R Us. I used my allowance money.

My how times have changed...

My older brothers had a copy of it CIB in our VHS drawer back in the late nineties and early 2000s. We didn't even have a Sega Genesis but one of their buddies did and he would let them borrow it pretty often. I was only 3 or 4 but I never forgot the box art. I didn't even know what it was called until years and years later. When my family moved in 2002 my mom sold it in a garage sale along with a bunch of other VHS tapes for probably only a buck or two. Thankfully I found a cart only copy years later at 2nd & Charles but still had to pay like 40 bucks for it. It stings a little, but at least I have the game.

I picked mine up today even though it's not supposed to be out for a couple more days.Looks great but still haven't hooked it up yet it's already a little late and I have work early tomorrow.Hopefully I'll get out of work early enough tomorrow so I can play.

I'm going out tomorrow after work to find one the old-fashioned way because Amazon can't deliver it until the 23rd so I canceled. I'd really like to have one for the weekend. Where'd you buy yours? I'm thinking I'll check Best Buy since it's near my work.

At a local store not a national chain so unless you live near Boston Mass. Your probably out of luck.  thay specialize in retro games but also sell new games too. Game Stop carries them also.

I picked up a Genesis Mini at my local Target store today. I have tried it out and I like it.
