Sega reveals the Mega Drive Mini 2 is getting a Cyber Stick replica And it'll cost twice as much as the mini console itself. News by Vikki Blake Contributor Published on 25 Jun 2022 7 comments Sega has revealed its upcoming mini console, the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2, is getting a £120 (¥19,800) controller. The USB controller is based upon the Cyber Stick and offers analogue controls for compatible games on Sega's diminutive system. As demonstrated in yesterday's announcement livestream, like its 90s predecessor, it'll feature a throttle, stick, and the ability to suit both right- and left-handed players. The Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 itself will retail for around half the price of this newly-announced peripheral (thanks, Famitsu). To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Given the guests, it wasn't a stretch to presume the secret new project may have something to do with a new Sega retro console - and it turns out that's exactly what Sega was teasing.

The Mega Drive Mini 2 will include 50 Mega Drive and Mega CD titles, including Sonic CD, Virtua Racing, and Fantasy Zone. While as yet there's no confirmation that the mini system will be coming to fans outside of Japan, Sega did confirm that Mega Drive Mini 2 will be released to Japan fans on 27th October and cost ¥9980, which is around £60. The compatible controller will release on the same day. Digital Foundry's John was a big fan of the original Mega Drive Mini. "There's so much to love about this product, from the brilliant recreation of the machine itself to the excellent emulation and a simply stellar line-up of games," he wrote. "Audio delay, input lag and scaling oddities hold this back from absolute perfection - but for the purists, there's always the Analogue Mega Sg for absolute authenticity. "However, for a product aimed at recapturing the magic of a very special era in console gaming, it's simply superb. If you grew up with Sega's 16-bit machine but haven't played it in a while, this is an unmissable release - and possibly the best mini retro console yet."
