The game list won't make everyone happy, but then, what retro console's roster ever could? Although I might personally lament the Genesis Mini's lack of timeless Sega racers like Out Run, Super Hang-On and Super Monaco GP, and I can already hear the distant cries mourning Battletoads and Aladdin's absence, this is a pretty good slice of the Genesis experience we're getting here. In fact, it was written using the same Yamaha YM2612 sound chip Sega employed in the original hardware. Speaking of Streets of Rage, fans will be pleased to know its composer, Yuzo Koshiro, has contributed a new song for the Genesis Mini's home screen. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine quickly discovered I'm horrendous at weaving between stalagmites and enemy fire in Darius and bludgeoned thugs and goons with lead pipes in Streets of Rage 2. I played chicken with oncoming traffic in Road Rash II linked together mad chains in Dr. The console offers a diverse range of experiences across various genres, and each runs as smoothly as you’d hope. M2 has, of course, lent its talents to rebuilding a number of titles in Sega's back catalog over the years, so the publisher couldn't have found a better dancing partner to look after its Genesis hits. That makes it all the more special that Sega's turned to retro mavens M2 to oversee the Genesis Mini's development.
