We had a chance to spend some time with the upcoming Sega Genesis Mini thanks to an early review unit from Sega, so we break down our thoughts and impressions on it's features, and emulation quality.
This is a more lose, conversational video. Videos in this style allow us to quickly cover smaller topics that may be a bit more timely. If you'd like to see us do more episodes like this, then let us know! These will not take the place of normal episodes at all, but are more of a bonus.

"All of these are basically the straight up original ROMs.." - Not according to M2. At least 4 of the games have been modified / improved (most notably Wily Wars with its lag removal). Tetris is completely newly coded from the ground up. Darius MD is a new game that doesn't (yet) exist outside of this emubox.

I like how you guys dove into the more niche subjects that I myself am concerned about and I think that's important to do even in your more casual preview video's. I loved how you guys covered the interpolation of this console as that is something I was curious about.

@deionbeeldenstormer7498 4 года назад

IMHO, the top advantages of mini consoles are: 1. Great for affordably playing retro games for a system one may no longer own. Super stoked for the TurboGrafx Mini. I never owned one, and it is a treasure trove of lesser known platformers, shooters, and RPGs. 2. Mini consoles are excellent for gaming while traveling. 3. They are fantastic for playing games which originally had a battery back-up in the cartridge - being that most of those internal batteries have long since died. Sooo great to play retro RPGs such as Link to the Past, Final Fantasy III (aka VI), and Phantasy Star IV with the ability to save at any moment to system memory. BUT, mini consoles NEED to evolve and include features such as a functional cartridge slot (would be a phenomenal capability for those of us with big game collections) and/or the ability to officially download MORE games from an online eshop, Virtual Console-style.

@maegnificant 4 года назад

Leader X The OSSC already eliminates lag or scaling issues on all HDTVs. The lag then depends only on your TV (2019 LG OLEDs are great here). Many of us are already focused on plugging real retro consoles into the OSSC. These mini consoles are just collectors items and not really solutions for the picky lag/scaling community.

@tomenza 4 года назад

Definitely a missed opportunity. What they need to do is re-release the Genesis/Mega Drive, CD, 32X combo in a new compact form factor, and release it with a collection CD. Then, establish a manufacturing and distribution system for developers, and new game development systems, especially for the CD 32X combo, we never got to see what that combo really had to offer. I think this would be a huge success because of a new licensing opportunity for Sega, and because of the revitalization of and demonstrated interest in retro gaming.

INPUT LAG feeling on "Mega Man: The Wily Wars" is actually NOT real Hardware input lag. That lag/delay/short pause is how it's programmed/designed in the game when you begin to move forward or back or change direction. I know this because I have tried it on original Mega Drive with real cartridge on CRT still has same issue. You can google about it if you don't believe me. Jumping and shooting is totally fine and overall it doesn't really effect the game play.

@FOXDUDETV 4 года назад

Anyone else extremely disappointed with the selection of games here? When I think "Mega Drive", I don't think Tetris and Virtua Fighter 2. I think the original Streets of Rage, Ecco 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Aladdin, Pitfall, Rocket Knight Adventures, Vectorman... At least everything present on the Mega Drive Classics collection on Steam should be included here, SEGA really has no excuse to not included those, since they own them. If they added everything that is on steam and other other iconic games like the ones I mentioned, I would have payed double the price to get my hands on that! As it is right now, I doubt I'll ever pick it up (maybe if I ever see it heavily discounted somewhere). It just feels too incomplete! When they announced the Illusion games, it gave me a bit of hope that the Mega Drive was going to be the first mini console done right but now I feel that hope was misplaced.

@mylifeingaming 4 года назад

[Try4ce] I think the lineup is one of the strongest aspects of it, actually. Contra Hard Corps, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Alisia Dragoon are among my favorite games on the system, but ones that are not often republished. Rocket Knight Adventures is definitely the most sorely missed game in the lineup, for me, but overall I think it's possibly the strongest Classic/Mini console lineup yet. SNES's lineup is insane, but nowhere near as many games.

Crafting a video into perfection is rewarding, but not having to do take after take after take must be... blissful. As for the Genesis Mini - That scaling you showed is... wince-worthy at times.

@fonarte 4 года назад

Sad to see m2 screw up the scaling again. The Castlevania collection has the same problems, esp with bloodlines on the PC version of the collection. The audio emulation sounded fine to me. Sounds more like they emulated it without the downsides of how the signal is routed on the original hardware pcbs and without having to go through a dac. (And there are even hardware mods for the MD to bypass the poor quality of the original circuits) I don't think you could ever get MD audio correct because the output varies so much by revision and how you get it out.

If you want a system to run most emulators, just get a Rasberry Pi.

@@dred05m61 I've got one. There's tons of issues with it. It's just not good enough. I think I'd rather get a chrome book or something than use that any more. I got a Vita after I got the pi and that's significantly better. Though still, nothing yet has come close to android emulators. They've got the perfect level of quality of life features and accuracy, and ease of use with things like linking Bluetooth gamepads. And there's an android emulator for literally every console, and even every computer, with Dos box for android, amiga, zx spectrum, etc Maybe every so often I'll go back and update it to a new version of retro pie to see if they've fixed the problems but for now it's just a pain in the ass

duffman18 Android is running on ARM hardware, which is great for low power. Don‘t know what the CPU is for the Sega Megadrive, but if it has the CPU like the SNES-mini: ARM Cortex-A7 emulation should run smooth.

@@dred05m61 you're missing the point. I can play all these on an emulator now on my PC and numerous other devices. It's the appeal of having these classic systems on display with replica controllers. They look great as coffee table display items. and being able to add in custom music and more genesis games would be amazing. I mean whats a mini genesis without sonic 3

A better way to experience some Genesis games is on 3DS. Sega 3D Classics Collection they actually Porter these to 3DS with better graphics with 3D and better frame rates.

@alfredocanas6802 4 года назад

pretty disappointing, maybe the reason why of the sound lag is because the SBC is too weak to pull off the emulation from M2. Sega should've struck a deal with Blast16 developer (as originally was happening) for the UI, the Libretro Team for Retroarch facility to launch the roms integrated with blast16 and the Genesis-Plus-GX devs and call it a day.

@SonicNights it's complicated, but it is what it is.

@sonicdv3953 4 года назад

@SonicNights Basically ice cap was based off an unreleased song that wasn't released until 2010-2011 or so. Because of this, they can't rerelease the game anymore, but any ports that already exist are obviously fair game. So steam is likely the only place you will be able to buy sonic 3 for the rest of time.

I like this format for more "small fry" releases, such as this. I DEFINITELY want to see things like new Analogue hardware or consoles get a full-on episode like we've seen from you guys in the past, but I definitely agree that something more minuscule like a new controller (maybe the SN30Pro Plus??), mini console, or maybe even retro game re-releases would be an awesome thing to see in this video's format. I'll be honest, there are MANY times where I wait to hear what you guys have to say about something before pulling the trigger on it. You guys research and testing is a VERY appreciated tool for me as a retro game collector, please keep up the great content!

@mylifeingaming 4 года назад

[Try4ce] Glad to hear it, that's exactly what we'd like to accomplish with this format - cover topics that we are interested in, but can't justify spending the time on a scripted video for. Analogue consoles are definitely a major event worthy of a full episode, although we are considering covering the Analogue DAC in this way (we just got a test board that is not under any embargo).

@Timjannekeleon 4 года назад

Love the format! thanks for all the great content!

@hugollort 4 года назад

Sounds more like almost all the youtuber that got the Sega Genesis Mini try to sell and promote it, on this one i listen on the Game Sack, he sounds most honest. for me its not worth $79

@CalebByRamen 4 года назад

The 3 button is more appropriate? Sorry dude that makes ZERO sense. Even if ONLY ONE GAME needed a 6 button... then the 6 button is the most appropriate because YOU COULD THEN PLAY ALL THE GAMES....

@mylifeingaming 4 года назад

[Try4ce] Appropriate in the sense that it evokes the most nostalgia.
