Sega will also sell a six-button controller which is useful for games like Street Fighter II.

In addition, the system includes two classic three-button controllers, a USB-to-Micro-B power cable, a power adaptor, and an HDMI cable. The Genesis Mini's design is based on the Model 1 Genesis and is about 55 percent smaller than the original. As you can read about in our Genesis Mini review, it looks good, has a nice selection of games, and those games play well. As its name implies, the nostalgic console will collect some of the biggest and best 16-bit era games.įortunately, given a history of disappointing aftermarket Genesis consoles, this one is quite good. On September 19, Sega will debut its Genesis Mini (or Mega Drive Mini, for those in Europe and Japan). It's likely that other third-party developers wanted a cut as well, as the Sega Genesis app has Konami games ( Castlevania Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps), while the N64 app will be adding Rare games in the future, which means cutting a deal with Microsoft.We're fast approaching the release of the next miniature classic console.

According to insider reports, the Nintendo Online expansion price is due to Sega, because of high licensing costs. The expanded twelve-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass costs $49.99/£34.99/€39.99, whereas the base Online service costs $20 per year. The Expansion Pack, released earlier this year, is a paid premium tier for Nintendo Switch Online, which adds N64 games, Sega Genesis games, and provides access to the paid DLC content in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There have been criticisms levied at the Expansion Pack, due to its high price point, especially when compared to the base version of Nintendo Switch Online. These aren't the only games to be added to the Expansion Pack this month, as Paper Mario was added to the N64 app on December 10, and more are expected to be added in the future. The Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Onlinehas added five classic Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, which are available to download now.
