Sega has unveiled its final 12 titles for its new Genesis Mini. That’s right, 12.
As a special surprise, Sega went above and beyond the original 40 games it promised by announcing an additional 12 Tuesday, bringing the grand total to 42.
Darius and Tetris make their Genesis and Mega Drive debut in our final 12 title announcements for the Mini.
That’s right, 12!! That brings the total game count to 42!

New titles include classics like the weaponized motorcycle racer Road Rash II, dystopian hack-and-slash Strider and action-adventure platformer Monster World IV.
Shoot ‘em up arcade game Darius and the classic puzzle game Tetris are making their Genesis and Mega Drive debuts, as both never had official Sega Genesis home releases.
Despite the extra additions, some Sega fans are pointing out snubs missing from the list, especially Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, which gamers have been pushing to see since the new Genesis Mini was first announced.
Of course, Sonic Spinball is included on the list to give Sonic fans something to cling to. But it really isn’t the same, is it?

and still no Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles
IF the music is the issue (and i don’t see how otherwise they wouldn’t be on steam or XBL) then just replace it and give us the 2 games we have been asking for for AGES
but games on this are awesome & it’s still well worth a buy though
