The nostalgic and miniature console will have 40 titles at the launch and like other similar consoles, the titles are going to vary from one region to another.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Space Harrier II
Rent A Hero
Vampire Killer
Wrestleball
Comix Zone
Shining Force
Gunstar Heroes

There’s a lot of chance that all these games, except Madou Monogatari I will be on the western version of the gaming console, but as of now, there hasn’t been any word on the line-up.

Sega Genesis: What’s in store?
Apart from the release date and the primary ten games, Sega didn’t reveal a lot of other details, however, the system uses the HDMI video output, which is powered by USB, with cables given with the system. We are also aware of what the console would look like in flash, and it looks really small.

I hope the Sega Genesis mini does well on its own, better than the disastrous PS1 Classic (has been constantly discounted few times)) and be as great for what it is and can bring up another follow up mini console. #SEGA

It'd be nice if Sega could sell an optional attachment for the Sega Genesis Mini/Sega Mega Drive Mini that would let you play cartridge games, for those of us that still have them.
I have a Genesis Model 2 that still works but it'd be nice to play cartridge games in HDMI output.
