Sega Mega Drive Mini Delayed To 2019
Fans looking to relive their childhood with Sega games will have to wait a little longer.
Sega Japan has delayed the release of its retro Mega Drive Mini system to 2019.
The company cited that it needed to review production due to new plans for a Genesis model in America, and a Mega Drive model in Europe. Overall, Sega wants to aim for a worldwide simultaneous release.
【お知らせ】セガフェス 2018で発表した「メガドライブ ミニ(仮称)」の発売を2019年に変更いたします。本年発売に向けて開発を行っておりましたが、特に海外のお客様からの反響が大きく、改めて北米は“GENESIS”、欧州は欧州版”Mega Drive”を再現したモデルを準備し、全世界で同時期に発売予定です。

While the delay is unfortunate, it’s great to see Sega thinking about as many of its fans as possible.
