Forget the emulators
4 Stars
Forget the emulators
pros:Assuming you're one of us ,the 90s kid, we used to pay dollars to game manufacturer in exchange of holding a real hardware on our hand. This may sound unimportant and rather cumbersome means of purchasing, but for odd reason it'll stimulate tons of your old memories. This experience combined with the actual gameplay will make everything lot different than just playing Launchbox(emulator) on your PC. I'm a dedicated Emulator fan myself and considered this miniature console fever was waste of money but it turns out that's not how this item works. One more thing, purchasing this is the only way to get 3 button sega controller. I don't even think there's 3rd party 3 button pads out there. Even if it's out there, stay away from it because 3rd party pads are all pretty bad. (except ibuffalo for SNES)Cons:It's a shame there's no Lightening Force (Thunder Force 4). As a kid I knew SNES was better overall, but I really couldn't give up Thunder Force 4 so I made my self a sega guy. There's Thunder Force3 in this package, but the gap between TF3 and TF4 is like Street Fighter 1 and 2. Not saying TF3 is bad, it's just TF4 is a god tier.And the main product image is just a promotional graphic and you'll get something else (the box with sonic jumping on the below right corner) so keep that in mind. I really think they should've reused the 90s original box art as well. perhaps even nicer with sonic 2 poster in it. sega guys should know which poster I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love this!! HUGE value for the price, & it's near perfect
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020
Totally authentic, real Sega hardware, great controllers (exactly as I remember them from the OG Genesis), super cute miniaturized console (check out the size in the phone compared to my 15" MacBook Pro), and 42 games! Not gonna lie, I was giddy unboxing it (box looks great too... the whole package is authentic SEGA).

Easy to set up, just plug it in to and HDMI monitor/tv and you're good to go.

Only cons: it's a closed system, you cannot add or subtract games. Most games are classics, but it's missing a few that I had as a kid and wanted to get again were not available. Also, almost all the games work fine with the classic 3 Button controllers, with one notable outlier... c'mon, Street Fighter 2 blows when you have to toggle the punches and kicks with the start button! (to fix, I purchased 2X "Retro-Bit Official Sega Genesis USB Controller 8-Button Arcade Pad for Sega Genesis Mini". I recommend this specific model, because it's got 6 buttons, L&R, + Start & Mode buttons... which if you're a retro game nerd like me, can be plugged into your computer and used for emulation of other consoles that require more buttons).

Fun extra, you can change the region to Japan (and other countries), and all the box art will change, as well as the language (can get confusing though, I had to use Google translate's AR to navigate my way back to English).

Totally worth it!! Pull the tigger my friend.
