SEGA Genesis Mini adds two more games for September launch

The game count has just gone up by two for the forthcoming SEGA Genesis Mini. Forty games were previously announced but forty? FORTY? That’s not enough, we want forty two! Well fortunately for you that’s the exact amount of games that will come preloaded when the console releases on 19th September 2019.

There is a list of all the games at the bottom of the article but the two new additions are exciting enough to have a bit of space to themselves. The world famous Tetris will be joining the line up and if you haven’t heard of Tetris, well, you’re beyond help. The second new addition is the shoot ’em up masterpiece that is Darius.
