Here’s a good deal for all the nineties kids out there, or anyone interested in retro gaming. Right now at Amazon and GameStop you can scoop up a Sega Genesis Mini for $49.99, a nearly 40% discount off the MSRP. That’s a great deal on what what we called “the closest thing we have to a perfect all-in-one mini console so far” in our Sega Genesis Mini review. Grab one for yourself before the price goes back up.
What makes the Genesis Mini so great? For starters, it comes loaded with 42 classic games, most of which are excellent. On top of that, the hardware is great. The miniaturized console features a high level of detail, and the two full-sized controllers are 1:1 reproductions.

The UI is also beautifully designed. You get a number of viewing options for the collection, including game covers and spines. And if you switch the language to Japanese, the entire UI switches to the Japanese covers (and ROMs) of the games. Speaking of games, here’s the full list of what’s included in the Sega Genesis Mini.
This $49.99 price point is close to the lowest we’ve ever seen this retro mini console go. And since it’s unclear when the price will go back up, you’ll probably want to grab one sooner than later.
