A couple of Fridays ago, Sega announced the rest of the games that is coming to the Genesis mini 2. Let me say that myself and a lot of people aren’t happy with the line up. In fact many are cancelling their pre orders. I might do as well. I hadn’t made up my mind up yet. So many gamers are pissed off that some of the games they taught were going to be in the mini 2 are not included. Now it’s time to give my rant about the line up.
First off, why they are 2 Ecco games? Yes I Know that they are 2 Sonic games but it’s Sonic. If Ecco was popular then they would had made more Ecco games. Ecco the Sega CD version wasn’t needed. Just the tides of times. Another big complain is why the US version only got 12 Sega CD games while the Japanese version got 20. Sadly we will not get games like Popful mail and Flink.
Also why are there so many over head vertical shooters. There is Slip heed, Robo Aleste, Desert strike, Hell fire, Granada, and so on. We don’t need that many. I was shocked that we didn’t get a Disney game. It might had been hard to get Aladdin, but least we could had gotten Quackshot or Mickey Mania. I knew we wasn’t going to get Snatcher being how Komani is run by a bunch of Morons but it would been nice if it was included.
The biggest reason that a lot of people hate the line up is because we didn’t neither of the two Lunar games. The Japanese Version got both of them, but we didn’t get one. It seems that the reason we aren’t getting both games is because Sega couldn’t get the licensing rights to the translation. Also Sega could be too cheap to buy the licensing rights. These missing games are the sole reason that many are cancelling their pre orders.
For me personally, the main reason that I am mad is that Eternal Champions: challenge from the dark side is not part of the line up. I taught this was a shoe in but it’s not. I do understand that they couldn’t get some for the games because of licensing issues. Sometimes they are hard to get. Other times getting these rights can be done.
