The Sega Genesis Mini was revealed a while back with Sega hoping to capture some of that magic that Nintendo has with their mini consoles. There will be a total of 40 games on this console and it will arrive later this year for $79.99. We don’t know all 40 games yet but Sega revealed the next ten today bringing the total of known titles up to 20. The 10 games that were revealed today include:

This Sega Genesis mini console is going to be based on the original Model 1 Genesis which launched in October 1988 in Japan, August 1989 in North America, and November 1990 in the rest of the world. As far as the physical size of this mini console, it is 55% the size of the original Model 1, so a little over half as big. When you pick up Sega Genesis mini console later this year you will find the following in the box:
