SEGA Corporation is one of Japan's leading manufacturers of hit video games and amusements.
SEGA, which continues to produce characters and games loved around the world, including Sonic the Hedgehog, will celebrate its 62nd anniversary on Friday, June 3, 2022! Congratulations!
On SNS, manufacturers, celebrities, and SEGA fans from all over the world have commented on the celebration, and SEGA's official Twitter (@SEGA_OFFICIAL ) is in a festive state with a " SEGA Quiz on SEGA's Founding Day.
On June 3, 2022, SEGA's birthday, a " SEGA New Project Announcement Live Broadcast " will be held from 8:00 p.m. The announcement has attracted much attention.
The combination of the performers was familiar to many, and many things were predicted, but now the full picture has been revealed!
The "Mega Drive Mini 2," the successor to the legend, was announced!
The "Sega New Project Announcement Live Broadcast" began with the appearance of " Uncle Otherworldly," a teacher who is almost dead. He talks about his memories of the MegaDrive Mini and Mega Drive 2. I never thought I would hear the term " high-performance bodycon pair " in the age of 2025!
That's right! Sega's new project, the "Mega Drive Mini 2," has been officially announced!
Then, the video switches to the "Mega Drive Mini 2" promotional video, featuring a wrestler with a body shape we've seen somewhere before!
As mentioned in the promotional video, the "Mega Drive Mini 2" will be released on October 27, 2022 (Thursday)! The price will be 10,978 yen (tax included)!
The " MegaDrive Tower Mini 2 ", an accessory to recreate the "High Performance Bodycon Pair", will also be released!
In addition to the " Mega CD2 Mini " that can be docked to the "Mega Drive Mini 2", the "Virtua Racing" cartridge mini and the "Sonic the Hedgehog CD" Mega CD disc mini are also included in the set. The set also includes a "Mega CD2 Mini", a "Virtua Racing" cartridge mini, and a "Sonic the Hedgehog CD" Mega CD disc mini.
Sega has also faithfully reproduced the spacers that were included with the original "Mega Drive Mini" and "Super 32X Mini" in the original "MegaDora Tower Mini" to allow the "Super 32X Mini" to be installed.
The "Mega Drive Tower Mini 2" will be released on October 27, 2022 (Thursday), the same day as the "Mega Drive Mini 2," for 4,950 yen (tax included).
The " Fighting Pad 6B," a six-button controller, will also be sold separately for 2,750 yen (including tax), so you can play with friends and family or break it in the heat of battle.
The first title to be included in the collection has been announced!
I'm sure that fans of yesteryear have already decided to purchase the console as soon as it was announced, but what titles will be included is important, isn't it?
The original "Mega Drive Mini" included 42 classic titles, including such first-time titles as "Darius" and "Tetris," and the "Mega Drive Mini 2" will exceed that number with over 50 titles! The "Mega Drive Mini 2" will contain more than 50 titles!
In addition to the "Mega Drive" titles, the "Mega CD" titles will also be included since the "High Performance Bodycon Pair" will be recreated, making the volume even larger than the first generation.
The announcement also revealed some of the titles that will be included!

The beautiful visuals, which only Game Freak, the developer of the game, can provide, and Taruru, who speaks with the same voice as in the TV anime, is just as cute and charming as in the original story.
So, five "Mega CD" titles have been announced.
The most surprising one is " Magical Tar uruto-kun," isn't it?
The first generation of Mega-CDs also included "Yu-Yu Hakusho: The Unification of the Demonic Forces," which was a big hit, and it's great that they included a title that was thought to be difficult to include.
The talk about the titles included in the game included Megumi Hayashibara 's voice for "Mail" in "Popple Mail" and the "Saber Crab" crab in " Shining & the Dakness". See " Mega Drive Mini 2: The Legend Contin ues" for more on the titles included in the game!

What's that? Wasn't this included in the Mega Drive Mini? I thought so, but that was "Super Fantasy Zone" and this is the first "Fantasy Zone".
Actually, the original "Fantasy Zone" was not released on the Mega Drive, so this is a new title created for the Mega Drive Mini 2! That's what I'm talking about, Sega!
