Following up the Sega Genesis Mini release in 2019, Sega’s got its next mini retro console reissue coming – the Sega Drive Mini 2. (In North America, you’d know the original console by its other name, Sega Genesis 2.) The company announced the new console during a Japanese-language livestream and after teasing the announcement – with a crudely decorated cake<\/a> – last week.<\/p>\n

The Sega Drive Mini 2 is slated for release in Japan on Oct. 27, but a release date for North America was not announced. Sega Genesis Mini was released worldwide simultaneously in 2019. The miniature retro console will cost 9,980 yen, or somewhere around $ 75. That lines up with the Sega Genesis Mini, which sold for $ 79.99. The Sega Drive Mini 2 is expected to ship with 50 games spanning the Mega Drive and Mega CD collections, including Sonic the Hedgehog CD<\/em>, Virtua Racing<\/em>and Popful Mail.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sega also announced a Sega CD add-on for the mini console that’ll reproduce its classic look, with a miniature CD reader set alongside the miniature console. It’s very cute, and appears to come with a simulated miniature cartridge for Virtua Racing<\/em> and a simulated miniature CD for Sonic the Hedgehog CD<\/em>. The Sega CD mini add-on is 4,500 yen extra, or about $ 35. The add-on doesn’t do anything or add any extra capabilities, according to Sega’s listing on its website – it’s just for the classic look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
