    Sega has confirmed M2 will be handling the ports for the games

      It really does seem they want to try and get this right this time. If only Sega had not been lazy and farmed their licenses out to the lowest quality manufacturer they wouldn't be met with such apprehension on plug n play stuff now, the MD is a great console but it's now unfortunately tainted by the legacy of multiple garbage plug n plays hopefully this one will finally FIIIIINALLY put things right.

      I'm hoping it spurs manufacturers to produce allsorts of fun merchandise in Japan to go along with it like it did with the fami & super fami minis, would be nice to see at least once the MD have chance to properly shine without the shadow of crap quality/emulation.

        I'm sure you've all noticed but the PAL version is up on Amazon UK for pre-order now (as noted in the EG article above).

        https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NVMYB7K

        PAL or NTSC versions of the games is the big question now I guess?

            Not sure whether I want one of these or the Mega SG. The SG is obviously better, but also costs at least three times as much. Hnnnnnggg.

                    I just wanted to voice my approval, very pleased with what I’ve seen so far, I’ve pre ordered a U.K. version but I’m up for a Jpn unit when available too, or indeed even instead.

                      I've jumped in on a UK version too; just the selection of games will decide if I stick with it or not.

                          Do do they take the full amount upfront for pre orders?

                            No, they only charge when the item ships. I’m sure I have a $5 discount code kicking around here too if anyone wants it…

                              From what i remember if you pay by credit card you don't get the money taken till shipping but if you pay by paypal they take it all at the moment of ordering. That actual price from playasia is actually not that bad but i don't want to risk been hit with customs so i shall keep waiting for amazon jpn.

                              Anyone wanting to join me in randomly spamming amazon japans search bar for when preorders go live just paste this into search. メガドライブミニ have a feeling they might not sell out as fast as the Nintendo machines so people stand a good chance.

                                I went with P-A and the FedEx Customs Taxes included. £120 all-in seems decent to me. I got two controllers too. Arrives the day after it comes out.
                                Kept you waiting, huh?
