here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"look at how adorable this thing is oh my God it's so small it's so tiny I can fit it in the palm of my hand just the Box not even the thing oh I'm so excited I am a Sega kid I had a Sega Master System when I was a very young kid we might have had it when I was born and then we got a Sega Genesis this was my life for a long time or well what this represents now I had a Genesis model one this is a model two and fittingly this is the Sega Genesis mini 2. I actually have the mini one it's a pretty nice little kit it's modeled after the first modeled Sega Genesis but it's got some issues with it the number one issue is that there aren't that many games for it and if you hack it which is possible with project lunar well I mean at that point it kind of feels the same as a Raspberry Pi because if you try to use the official interface for it it just like lags and freezes unlike the Sega Genesis mini one the mini 2 only has a single wired control pad but that control pad has six buttons whereas the previous one had three they gave you the big chunky three button controller for some reason even though some of the games used a six button controller yeah let's take a look at the back we've got afterburner 2 alien Soldier alien Soldier is actually kind of interesting lightning force that is a good game it's also known as Thunder Force 4. mostly the game is good for its soundtrack but the gameplay is really good too midnight resistance outrun outrunners Fantasy Star 2 that is an amazing game unfortunate the Fantasy Star 4 isn't there as well that's my favorite of the series so yeah over 60 classic and bonus titles let's get it out of its box this is a much stronger lineup than the Genesis mini one so I've got one six button controller that feels pretty much the way I remember them feeling when they were new although the uh the molding is not quite perfect it's catching a little on my fingers it also feels a little uh lighter than the original versions but it might just be misremembering we've got of course a little USB power adapter this thing only just takes I think five volts but it does have second corporation on here HDMI cable I don't think that even has a Sega logo on it nope and this here USB cable which does have Sega on it that's cute the USB cable is micro b so why am I unboxing the cables when I have the console right here let's get it out of its little baggie oh that is adorable oh that's not how the original power switch worked that's how it worked on the Genesis 1 but the Genesis 2 had a push button they messed up there the cartridge slot does open though and I don't think there's anything yet it's just bare down there I think with the Genesis mini one they did actually have like a fake PCB down there uh does this come off oh yeah it does there's nothing to attach a CD attachment to though although maybe they did release a CD attachment and I think a 32x attachment for the year of the Genesis mini one they didn't give you extra games or anything though it was literally just a cosmetic thing but it does have the mounts to go into a CD drive this here is where some posts would have grabbed on to the CD attachment I haven't been keeping up on this since it was announced because I wanted to do it for ShortCircuit so I'm kind of going in blind here and on the front oh that's the back HDMI out and DC in and nothing on the sides but on the front you get two USB ports and that's kind of where they were where the original controller ports were on the Genesis 2. and I guess fittingly for the Genesis Mini 2 it is smaller than the Genesis mini one which the Genesis 2 was actually smaller than the Genesis one so there you go I guess there's nothing else to do at this point but to turn it on and play some games but before we do that I'm going to talk to you about our sponsor

the offers and on December 14th I had it all set up here but before I go and start playing games I want to see because I think this is actually as light as the controller is okay 154 grams okay 100 grams and with the cable it's with the cable that's the same weight okay so it is on or presumably I don't see any lights there's a little red indicator there to tell me that it's on though Fair number of languages built in we'll go with English for now okay all right similar interface to the original I'm going to turn this down a little bit this is a very similar interface to the Genesis Mini model one we've got all the box art here I think we can toggle it to we can toggle it to the side art as well and we can what's in the settings there we go languages game settings uh okay so we can do 4x3 which is kind of what I would prefer actually looks like an integer scale if I'm looking at that correct because there are borders along the entire image whereas that is stretched which I mean if you like that then good for you but that's not me the wallpaper I think I'll go with the TV oh sweet okay this is something that not a lot of people know about the original Sega Genesis had like a warmer sound whereas the newer Sega Genesis had like a kind of crunchier sound I prefer the original really depends on what your what your childhood Genesis sounded like you can just set it here which is great I love that that's that's attention to detail that you wouldn't really expect and I didn't get it in the Genesis model 1 mini mode button setting okay so the mode button I guess will open the menu some games use the mode setting I don't know if there are any games in this compilation that use the mode setting so I'd probably do it for like hold for three seconds or maybe one second I'll leave it on quick open for now though and yeah there's no like screen resolution settings I think this is 720p credits legal notice receptive factory settings okay so let's play some games Echo the dolphin it's kind of a slower game but I can play it it's a Sega CD game the display output is really good they are not filtering this in any way I don't think so that's excellent I guess I would prefer to have the option to have like composite video because a lot of Genesis games especially made use of composite video for extra colors so you can see in the background here with the clouds oh well you can see in the title screen here that there are a lot of colors that are just kind of like dithered and on a composite display those would have just become new colors uh it would kind of blur together and they would make it so that this this whole scene wouldn't be like Bandy and look kind of weird with different colors I'd also like to have the option of scan lines but that's kind of a Hit or Miss Thing oh there's the CRT filter Okay so we've got scan lines I think we've got a slight blur as well so you might see that effect this is more what the developers originally intended at least for this game I think because of all the heavy use of dithering the clouds when it stops scrolling here look a lot more natural it's not quite perfect but we go back to the title screen here we should also see that the colors are kind of again it's not perfect it needs a little bit more of a horizontal blur but you can see that it looks a lot more natural in terms of the shading this is a good game by the way it's like it's kind of like a puzzle game sort of yeah I think I need to talk to that guy specifically and then I do this there we go and everyone got abducted all right let's swap out to a different game a game like uh lightning force would be a lot better to take a look at input like oh original mode in high speed mode right the original version of this game had a lot of slowdown and that actually affected not only the gameplay but also the music so if high speed mode is what I think it is then it'll remove that slowdown so I'm gonna go with that all right seems pretty okay uh this display is kind of low end but it looks like everything is good my assessment of what high speed mode was is correct I think we'll see it here yeah this guy has a lot of Sprites this would slow down tremendously if uh if not for that mode thing about this game is you can actually adjust how fast you're going so I'm currently at the slowest speed higher higher higher I didn't say I was good at the game it's been a while since I played through it oh I forgot that's not a background object I thought it was in the in the early part wow I am just sucking right now like half of this kind of game is like Remembrance in the patterns and I do not remember anything well I mean this this would make me happy as a Sega fan as someone who likes a lot of these games like this is a very solid lineup here and as someone who you know likes video game history like having access to Japanese games European games and games that I might not have previously played like Mansion of hidden Souls which is supposed actually if I remember correctly a pretty good FMV game which is strange to say uh they're actually coming back in style how many games did the original have foreign yeah 40. so you're getting 20 more games it's also 20 more dollars than the original so it's an extra bucket game but the original also had two controllers if you want a second controller you're looking at another 20 in total a 40 premium over the previous version honestly I think it's worth it the previous version kinda went on super sale after a little while just because it was I mean let's be honest it didn't have a huge number of really good games like it had some really good games like I think it had the entire Sonic series on it whereas this doesn't seem to have much of anything Sonic on it so you kind of need two of them to get the the full breadth of the the Sega Genesis library but at the same time like this is more representative of what the whole Library had to offer than what the Sega Genesis mini one had you can you can set up an emulator box for less than this to put the Raspberry Pi but it won't look as nice as this and this is kind of a collector's item yeah I mean shutting down yeah it even has like a little shutdown sequence I really like it and that's why I'm gonna take it apart the thing about the previous Genesis mini is that it had a lot of little Easter eggs in it like there's a fake PCB on the inside that made it look like there was a cartridge slot there was that attachment for the Sega CD there was the attachment for the 32x and I think there was also an attachment for like Sonic 3 and Knuckles to kind of make the full tower of power which was really amusing I don't know if they're doing that with this one or not and let's be clear it kind of is a cash grabby product too just because of I don't know how many times have you bought these games right if you're a Sega fan right in there that's all that's on the inside of that I don't see anything super like fan servicey in here ltdstore.com by the way I need to flex the plastic a little to do that it's really stiff plastic yeah nothing that's a little disappointing but I mean I guess it's to be expected this is the second generation of the products the first one was really kind of the big celebration so if you want something that goes on your shelf and looks pretty it also can play some really good games then the Genesis Mini 2 is a honestly really good little collection I love it I do wish that it had 32x games those are notoriously difficult to uh to emulate those so I don't really know if I can blame them too much for that so yeah for 100 bucks us you're getting legal copies of the games you're getting a box that can handle them and presumably that'll be hacked the same way that the previous one was too so if you wanted to expand the library you probably could not that I would recommend piracy but if you own the games and say you've dumped them with uh I don't know uh Sani V3 or whatever then yeah that would be a totally a thing you could do and it looks really cute on your shelf just like you look cute when you watch a ShortCircuit you should uh maybe take a look down below and maybe subscribe if you like this one there are plenty more videos like this and unlike it we do all kinds of things here"}
