Sega Mega-Drive Mini: Remember when you promised to buy Sega's next console if they made one?

Hmmmm... your manual is also multi-lingual. Mine is English only.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Just tweeted at Codemasters to ask them what's up with the J-Cartless MM2 carts.

Their media manager probably wasn't born when MM2 came out.

Can only assume they were a later run, and the extra ports were removed to save on costs.

That's what I'm thinking. The b&w manual was a feature of the later X-games-in-1 Sega carts.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009.

That would make a lot more sense, I seem to remember it being re-released as a more budget friendly version shortly after '96 Turbo Tournament came out. -
Pretty sure I bought MM2 upon launch, and I remember it having a J-Cart.
I am however, getting on a bit and my memory might not be perfect.
Great game though.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime -
I deffo do too Mark. I remember betting off the bus and legging it home after school to play it!! Mine was a launch J cartLive, PSN & WiiU: Yippeekiyey -
This thread is so awesome.
I have the wireless 6 button pads for the megadrive.
Plugging the receiver into the J cart was the best.
No problem of someone getting excited and pulling the wire of the controller too hard and crashing the game.
We would try to out each other off by putting our hands in front of each other's controller.Wind Waker is a bad game -
J-cart or no as long as 4P mode is there it's cool. I was always worried about jerked controllers damaging the cart.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009.

Hah, turns out I’m an idiot, I have no idea why I didn’t just look sooner, but I’m putting it down to illness.
The non J-Cart version is definitely a later release as the copyright notice on the back of the box is 1996. -
'tis interesting nonetheless. They will have patched the code for that release so it works with the multitap.
One for the completists then. I like complete sets of games but that would be a step too far for me.
MM96 got a cool reception according to the wiki since it was really only a redux of MM2. That's understandable. Wonder why they even bothered to re-release it with '96 on the market. Maybe they had a stock of ROMs that needed shifting.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Which begs the question, what new assets were added in '96 that needed protection??"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B -

I remember micro machines 2 and '96 having quite different levels.
I had '96Wind Waker is a bad game -
They remixed some levels and added the track editor from the PC version.
The track editor was always supposed to be in the Mega Drive version but they ran out of time and needed to get it out before Christmas, so ‘96 is pretty much the game 2 should have been. -

I had '96
I'm not saying it isn't there but when my mates play it at gaming nights 96 doesn't seem to have the dragster toilet seat or bath tracks. There are probably a few more too but they were the memorable ones for me.

Rim Runners.
I held the lap record on it at Southam Video until it closed down. -
There's definitely a toilet seat track in '96!Wind Waker is a bad game

That was the one I spent the most time TT'ing. Great track for that, bit hectic for mp.

My Mini arrived today. It’s tiny!
Not had chance to actually play it yet, but Sega have perfected the aesthetic

The Mega SG looks amazing.
This looks like a teeny Mega Drive and therefore also looks amazing.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime -

Send messageI mean the Mega Drive scale model was £35 and didn't even do anything so technically the playing games bit on this only really costs £30..."ERE's like Mr. Muscle, he loves the things he hates"
