The Sega Genesis Mini has an extremely impressive lineup, both in quantity and quality.

If I didn’t know Sega had just manufactured these, I would’ve thought they were extremely well-kept originals.

The three-button controllers are just about exact replicas of the originals. Thankfully, these USB pads have six foot cords, so there’s probably no need for an extender. You get a pair of three-button wired controllers with the Mini. I was up and running about a minute after taking it out of the box. The Genesis Mini hooks up to a TV via the included HDMI cord and gets its power from USB adapter. It has a non-operable volume slider, miniature cartridge slot with a spring-loaded cover, and even the expansion port where the Sega CD and 32X add-ons would go.

It probably would’ve been easier to just go with a normal button similar to the design of the second Genesis model, but Sega obviously wanted to make this a trip down nostalgia lane.Įven the features that are just for show are charmingly accurate to the original. Designed to mirror the original North American model, the Sega Genesis Mini has an on/off toggle and operable white reset button.
