Sega Mega Drive Mini to launch in September with FORTY pre-loaded games

The Sega Mega Drive (or the Genesis out of Europe) was a 90s console heavyweight - and, like the SNES and the PS1 before it, it's getting the mini console treatment.

This September - just in time for Christmas - Sega is releasing a Mega Drive Mini with 40 pre-loaded games.

The 16-bit console will include a host of 'legendary' titles.

Ecco the Dolphin, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Space Harrier 2, Shining Force, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Machine, ToeJam & Earl, Comix Zone, Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast, and Gunstar Heroes have been confirmed.

Over the coming months, it's likely popular titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Streets of Rage 2, Mortal Kombat and Outrun will be added.

GameSpot has reported the box comes with the replica console, two USB controllers, one USB to Micro-B power cable, one HDMI cable, and a power adapter in North America, whereas Amazon UK helpfully only says 'console' on its UK listing .

Pre-orders are now live for $79.99 US / £69.99 / €79.99 / AUD$139.95.
