One of the best retro consoles to come out of this craze was the Sega Genesis Mini, which like the NES Classic and SNES Classic, served up a great library of games backed by solid emulation. The challenge, of course, is that at $80, the Sega Genesis Mini isn&rsquo;t exactly cheap, but if that was your main sticking point with the retro console, you might want to head over to Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon currently has the Sega Genesis Mini listed for half off, bringing its price down to $39.99. For that price, the Sega Genesis Mini basically becomes a no-brainer for everyone who enjoyed the Genesis and its games back in the day.<\/p>\n<p>The Sega Genesis Mini offers up a grand total of 42 retro games, including the first two&nbsp;<em>Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>&nbsp;games,&nbsp;<em>Shinobi III<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Phantasy Star VI<\/em>, and Altered Beast. Some other titles worth checking out include&nbsp;<em>Kid Chameleon<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Dynamite Headdy<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Comix Zone<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Casltevania: Bloodlines<\/em>. The console comes bundled with two USB three-button Genesis gamepads, which is the only drawback to the console since the six-button controller was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/the-8-best-game-controllers-of-all-time-ranked-25621918\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">definitely the better choice back in the day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In all, though, there&rsquo;s a lot to love about the Sega Genesis Mini, even if it isn&rsquo;t quite as good as it could be. Like other retro consoles, the Sega Genesis Mini connects through HDMI and gives users a number of display options, including one that overlays CRT scan lines for those of you who want a particularly big hit of nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon doesn&rsquo;t say when this discount will end, but it&rsquo;s probably best to assume that it won&rsquo;t be around for much longer. Also worth pointing out is the fact that the Sega Genesis Mini actually isn&rsquo;t in stock at the moment &ndash; orders placed today won&rsquo;t begin shipping out until July 12th. Still, with the Sega Genesis Mini priced at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07PFT19MG\/tag=slas0a-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$39.99<\/a>, that&rsquo;s a minor issue in the grand scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/the-8-best-game-controllers-of-all-time-ranked-25621918\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/the-8-best-game-controllers-of-all-time-ranked-25621918\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Eric Abent <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Eric Abent <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">When Nintendo launched the NES Classic Edition, it kicked off a retro console craze among game publishers.
