Would you really want to ruin the looks by having that skanky mushroom on top TA? I do agree it would look lovely MD/MCD Though.

Like I said, I would have liked to see SEGA got the extra mile and to have included Mega CD and 32X emu. Rather than a pretty lame Snes mini copy. Not that one really needs a MD mini, given the emu is so good these days

So all they'd have to do is whack an ARM setup and Linux emulator with a decent skin on there and we're good to go. I do wonder if the reason they aren't actually doing this is because they've licensed the console to AT Games and the controller remakes to Retro-Bit and thus can't create their own release anyway as they evidently have all of the required bits and pieces, just not in one bit of kit.

I'd never seen that Genesis USB hub before - looks really nicely done, which judging by the current eBay prices for it is what people are really willing to pay for. That's basically the appeal with the Nintendo mini variants, in terms of aesthetic quality they're just a step above anything ATgames have ever put out.

So I would go that extra mile and make its a Mega CD system too if not the Multi-Mega, then at least the Mark 1 MD and Mega CD with those lovely red and green acess and power lights.

I really can't see a Mega Drive mini doing that well or why it its needed.
And therefore the original Megadrive is the way to go... although if it did have the Mega CD permanently welded to it and a selection of CD games on there, that would be quite awesome.

The high sales of these Mini Classics is very much based on fond memories of times past, and the coolness factor of having a miniature version of a childhood favourite.

Just read this, supposedly a quote from ATGames on Facebook (who’s page doesn’t seem to exist as far as I can find?)
In a reply to a comment on Facebook, AtGames had this to say about the wariness some might feel to them producing the Mega Drive Mini:All the negativity is perfectly understandable. You’ll either see the improvement this year in the HD hardware or you won’t. Talking about it doesn’t do much at this point. There is a switch to a proven emulator and other features that have been requested for years making it into the 2018 HD models.https://techraptor.net/content/sega-...i-genesis-miniare taking notice of past issues and will be working in improvements for the mini. In particular, they will be moving to a different emulator. The other features mentioned will be detailed later in the year. AtGames said in another comment on Facebook to keep an eye out for news a little before E3, which happens in the middle of June.

I was reading a thread on Atariage where someone who seems to work for, or has some connection to ATGames reiterated the above and also mentioned the crappy ‘extra games’ will not be included this time but would be available to download, which would suggest the possibility that Sega is planning a download service for the mini? More likely it’ll be someting you can download from ATG, so we can probably assume a sd cart slot which they’ve done before. How much of this (if any) applies to the Jpn mega drive mini or to the ‘next gen’ ATgames rom box I don’t know.
