According to our Sega Genesis Mini review, this diminutive device is "the best all-in-one retro console ever made." It comes with a collection of 42 games that include most of the best and most popular titles released for the Genesis (see the complete list below). It even has a few that were never released in the West. The games are presented in a user interface that's both gorgeous and functional. The mini console itself is meticulously recreated, complete with working cartridge bay doors that spring back into place after you open them. The full-sized controller is also just like the original, though it's worth noting that it's the original three-button controller that comes in the box. If that bothers you, you can buy a six-button controller separately, and it'll work just fine.
