The lineup covers much of what made the Genesis popular: Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes, Contra: Hard Corps, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Comix Zone and Earthworm Jim for action fans, plus Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force and Landstalker for RPG players. It also includes two extras that never came out on the original console, a version of Tetris and a new take on Darius. The list is fixed, and there is no cartridge slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSave slots and two-player favorites\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery game can be suspended into save slots, which takes the sting out of long runs through Ecco the Dolphin or Shinobi III. Switching the menu language changes the box art to match that region and, for many games, loads the Japanese or European release instead of the US one. Two USB controller ports sit on the front, so two players can share the split-screen races in Sonic 2 or the co-op in Streets of Rage 2. Contra: Hard Corps and Gunstar Heroes also support two players, which makes the Mini good for a couch session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting a used Genesis Mini running\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe console needs an HDMI cable to your TV and a USB power source. Controllers, cables and the power adapter vary by unit and are included only if the title lists them. Original Genesis controllers use a different plug and do not connect directly, so look for Genesis Mini pads or USB controllers made for it. Any suspend saves left on the system can be overwritten as you play, so you can start each game fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega Genesis Mini\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega Genesis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHome console (plug-in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 built-in games, no cartridge slot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI to a TV and USB power, with Genesis Mini USB controllers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eController ports\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I play Genesis cartridges on the Genesis Mini?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Genesis Mini has no working cartridge slot and plays only its 42 built-in games.
