Episode Notes:

1. The wind was completely out of my sails on this product after the final games were announced. I had so wanted this to show off the Sega CD in a positive light. I honestly had no desire to review the US edition with so many games stripped from the Mega Drive Mini 2. I only did so because a number of subscribers asked for it.

2. If these Sega Mini consoles are to have any future at all, the game libraries need to expand beyond the Genesis/Mega Drive. If Sega doesn't have the faith in getting the best games there is no point doing them.

3. The sound lag is very similar to the first Mini. You'll notice it in some games more than others.

4. I noticed that some of the flashing was lessened in this to the point where certain effects would disappear entirely. Some games were affected more than others.

5. Audio quality is good. You get a few off-key tunes and notes here and there but it's mostly very faithful.

6. I am reviewing the Japanese version of this product soon.

7. Apparently there is a hidden option in Space Harrier II to reduce the sprite flicker. It's HIDDEN. What the hell for?
