Just a little note for the not-american viewers. The european version comes without the AC adapter, and you will probably think "who cares, everybody has a spare one at home somewhere". Well, the thing is, this time it requires at 5V/2A adapter instead of the most common 5V/1A used by the first mini. Bottom line, in Europe we have to shell out additional cash, 10€ at least, for buying the adapter. On top of 110€ of console is not so great.

Love the credit scene of the stop-motion filming process. I love the stop motion stuff you do Joe, and all the clear effort that goes into the editing and production. I hope Game Sack never changes
-
I want a Sega Arcade Mini with arcade perfect versions of Daytona USA, Virtua Racing, Rad Mobile, etc, etc. All their amazing arcade games of the 80's and 90's.
-
Really want to see a Saturn mini. Doubt that will happen though.
-
Insane how you got this out so quickly but it’s still as quality as ever
-
I know it's not much, but I do appreciate the channel and your hard work that goes into each video. ☺️
-
I'm kinda shocked you just brushed Super Locomotive aside :( it was a really crazy bonus for them to include it cause it was an arcade board that only had 30 pcbs produced. It used rydeen as the main theme and the game is incredibly addictive, but really hard when you get into it.
-
Alien Soldier was also released in PAL regions, it wasn't just Japan and I like that Sonic CD can also run at 50fps. Nice review.
-
Nothing says "The ending of a Game Sack video" better than Joe giving a thumbs up with with an awkward smile.
-
I’m 36 years old and I can honestly that was the most comprehensive, well made, and informative review I’ve ever seen in my life. Kudos. Subbed

I think it’s the best thing Sega put out since the Dreamcast. Sure it’s not perfect but having Shadow Dancer, Revenge of Shinobi, Gain Ground, Ranger X, Golden Axe 2, and the ability to play the Japanese versions are awesome! The Working Designs/Victor Ireland thing definitely pissed me off though.
-
Joe does the best hardware reviews! Some of his sketches are funny. They'll probably do a Genesis mini 3 that can fit on a keychain, if the money's right.
-
A shame they still haven’t addressed the audio delay. Good review as always.
-
I'm loving mine, but I totally understand the shortcomings/warts...but I am 100% happy with it.
-
11:30 I remember taking six button controllers back to the store because I thought they were broken when I bought Golden Axe II eleven years ago.* *At first I thought I bought it twelve years ago, then ten years ago, remembered I kept the receipt, and it turns out I bought it eleven years ago. Complete in box for $3.99.
-
Super Locomotive is the first legitimate home release of a virtually EXTINCT arcade game that happens to be one of the earliest train related video games, if not the first such game whatsoever. I’m all for game history not being buried in the realm of access via piracy-only.
-
On the old MD collections they would throw in a few Master System/Game Gear versions of games, sometimes as secrets/unlocks. I'd like to see some of that from future consoles, adds a bit of old school mystery to the thing. Thanks for the overview Joe
-
I just got mine yesterday. I didn't get a chance to play it yet but just the size of the unit itself is tiny! Honestly if Sega wanted to do another one, maybe make a one based on the Genesis 3 and focus more on just Sega CD and 32x.
-
I like it. Didn't even notice any of the issues like the sound lag. Plays fine to me.
-
I appreciate this review as Joe, even as a self confessed SEGA fanboy, has been way more honest than a lot of other reviewers have been. Every other review has been utterly glowing about this. He basically says 'it's ok, with some flaws, and potentially an opportunity missed'. I pre-ordered and have it anyway - but it's good to see someone with integrity in the retrogaming community who isn't just shilling something they got for free.
