Sega Genesis Mini review — Worthy of one of gaming’s greatest consoles

The Sega Genesis Mini is the best plug-and-play console since the SNES Classic Edition came out in 2017.

This new micro-console comes out September 19 for $80. It includes 42 games and two wired controllers that are replicas of the original Genesis three-button gamepads. If you were a fan of Sega during its prime in the ’90s, this is a great machine that will give you dozens of hours of nostalgic fun.
