• Road Rash II
• Alisia Dragoon
• Kid Chameleon
• Monster World IV (Only released in Japan)
• Darius (Only released in Japan)
• Tetris (Supposedly there are less than ten physical copies of this game in the world.)

Sega has really put some thought into this system. Three of the games we never saw in the U.S. during the original Genesis run. Tetris for the Genesis is so rare that a physical copy of the game goes for thousands of dollars among collectors. So basically, we have four "new" games on the console. This will rule all the mini systems out now.

One question that you're probably asking, "How can we play these fighting games with just a three button controller?" Retrobit has a Sega licensed six button controller that is compatible with the mini. There is a translucent blue and solid black version available.

You can pickup your Sega Genesis Mini at Walmart, Amazon, Gamestop and Best Buy.
