Sega have released the third batch of games confirmed for the upcoming Mega Drive Mini.
Marketed as the Sega Genesis Mini in the US, the Mega Drive Mini is a miniature edition of the original Sega Mega Drive. The Mini is roughly 55 per cent the size of the original and will ship with a catalogue of 40 classic games pre-downloaded onto it. The console will also include two full-size controllers, an HDMI cable, and a power cable in the box.
