Sega has announced that it’ll be releasing an all-new mini console in the form of the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 this October.

The device is a follow-up to the original Sega Mega Drive Mini in 2019 and was first unveiled back in June. The new console will include 61 new games, and even includes some Sega Mega CD titles.
