Best sega genesis consoles according to redditors

1 year ago

Btw the controllers use infrared sensors so you have to point them at the console. Complete garbage

They are back they have released a mega drive with all the games in https://www.amazon.co.uk/Drive-Classic-Retro-Console-Built/dp/B00K2CXNPU

Those new mini consoles that have like 40-50 games built in. They’re modern versions of older consoles. Megadrive, Super Nintendo (SNES), PS1

Amazon still has stock so I'm going with no.

They already have.

I like the Sega version better. It has a good selection of games, comes with 2 controllers, and has a working cartridge slot so you can use your own actual games you might have stashed in the attic. It frequently goes on sale for ~$22.

The fact that my existing Wii classic controller hooks up to the little Nintendo is pretty cool though.

Check out the Minigen HD. I have no complaints about mine so far. I use it with my old childhood Genesis games. I just streamed Beavis and Butthead as well as Stimpys Invention from it, I’ll link my twitch at the bottom if you want to see how it looks and sounds.

There's always this...
https://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Mini/dp/B07PFT19MG/

I don't know of any subreddits specifically for it, but I know there's been a lot of questions answered on /r/retrogaming. And the YouTuber Ashens has reviewed multiple of these.

You can buy the newest model on Amazon here it supports most Roms and also supports saves, but the sound reproduction is OK at best, passable at worst.

The older models do not support saves, and they have worse controls.

Hyperkin's 6-button controllers are almost as good as the original. They're nearly identical, and are the best third-party controllers I've used. They're super cheap and it looks like some people get bad ones, but you can always send them back to Amazon if they don't work for you. I've used one for a few years with no issues.

I don't know if this is the cheapest place to buy them, but these are the ones I'm talking about.

Unsure about the Atari system, but the Sega 'console' is made by a Chinese company called ATGames. They've been making this product for a while and amazon reviews are not super favorable. The wireless controllers are prone to drop inputs and the 80 games is actually about 40 actual Sega Genesis games and then 40 'in house developed' games.

At that price you could find at least the two original consoles. You'd be short the games, but probably better off in the long run.

It's available for pre-order but it doesn't release until September 19th.

If you want an affordable emulated system, this is probably the best one to go with though. The emulation is being handled by M2, who focus on quality, and the game selection is shaping up to be really good. Chances are that someone will also develop an exploit to add extra games just like the NES, SNES and Playstation classic systems had.

I wish they'd take a page out of Sega's book and just sell as many copies as people want to buy

You can get this bad boy for $50 or less any time you want: https://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Classic-Game-Console-2016/dp/B01KV6E72O

EDIT: Never mind, I read the reviews on it and discovered it's apparently a poorly-made piece of crap, haha.

It appears it does. Although, I don't know the context of the waves.

They got one they made with 80 games... Heres the best one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0111WVVLM/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_63_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=51%2Bv0zy00-L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&psc=1&refRID=ENSJRPPYAR433YTH1HFA

Best bet is a retro USB Genesis controller. Thankfully, my favorite one is still available at a reasonable price: https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-GN6-Premium-Controller-Genesis-sega/dp/B00HM3QAWK/. It seems like recently all the good USB controllers I would recommend are either not in stock or the price skyrocketed.

There are a few things. First strongly consider the new NES Classic mini system coming out. It has HDMI out and classic Nintendo games. https://www.nintendo.com/nes-classic

Secondly most Retro game consoles like SNES/N64 have composite out as well with the red/white/yellow cable. You can plug these into a modern HDTV by putting the yellow cable into the Green component plug (if you don't have a yellow hook up).

Also there are several Controllers out there that have emulators built in so you plug it into a PC and can load games.

Also some of these might be good, plug and play arcade stick games. They are fairly cheap fun so if they get destroyed it's not the end of the world. https://www.amazon.com/Pac-Man-Connect-Play-Classic-Games/dp/B0104G9K4Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1469453739&sr=1-1


Ones like this too: https://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-AtGames-Classic-Game-Console/dp/B0111WVVLM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1469453848&sr=1-1&keywords=at+games+genesis

When you can buy a flashback for $40 that gives you both the look and feel of the atari and the games, why bother spending considerably more on something that will probably have a virtual console that charges you $5-10 for each game.

To open them up, you need a special screwdriver. I bought this $11 kit and it's got stuff to open pretty much any retro cartridge or console. If you're in the business of collecting retro games, one of those screwdrivers is imperative, IMO.

The Super Retro Trio+ is around $75 on Amazon. The NES and Genesis work great, but the Super NES has bad audio, especially for the Super Gameboy (it's basically unplayable). I also have an RES+, which is essentially just the NES part of it, which is around $40. These don't have a 4:3 switch built in, which I hate because neither does my TV.

I prefer the Hyperkin Retron HD ($30) and the Supa Retron HD ($50) because they have a toggle switch to output in 4:3 or 16:9, but the Retron HD won't play some of the NES games that my RES+ will (but the Supa Retron does play the Super Gameboy just fine). Hyperkin also just put out a Mega Retron HD ($50) but I haven't bought one of those yet.

So it's all a balancing act with what clone consoles you like best. Luckily, I got most of mine with gift cards or as Christmas/Birthday presents, so I (mostly) didn't have to pony up my own cash.

All it does is give the items their own buttons. As far as attacks, all you need it 3 buttons. But speaking of controllers. You can get a hyperkin 6 button controller for 9 bucks on amazon and it’s a great controller

Hyperkin "GN6" Premium Controller for Genesis https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HM3QAWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M.lNAbQ0PEQJ3

The Hyperkin GN6 on Amazon is super cheap and I've heard it's very comparable to the original 6-button. My personal favorite is the SG-18 a.k.a. the Series III by Honey Bee, I have the Competition Pro branded version. It's an awesome controller, best d-pad I've ever used on a third-party controller, love the larger form-factor (similar in size to the original 3-button controller), and I just think it looks pretty cool. I like it so much I ended up getting their SF-3 SNES controller.

For US, not sure about rest of world

The official portable genesis from AtGames has an SD card slot for loading roms. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Portable-Player-Not-Machine-Specific/dp/B0094H8H78 There's sound issues for some games though.

Genesis does what Nintendon't.

Amazon.ca has it up for preorder too.

The one 20 in 1 handheld is actually legit though

It's an old version of this

Sega licenses out the genesis hardware and games to quite a few clone makers officially.

Although I prefer the original 3 button controllers myself, this isn't bad.

They don't make it themselves, but it's officially licenced by Sega. The Genesis Classic Game Console console has been out for a while, It also plays real Genesis games. I've seen it at Toys R Us, and Target. Also Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-AtGames-Classic-Game-Console-Electronic/dp/B00K2CXNPU/ref=dp_ob_title_vg

https://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Classic-Game-Console-2016/dp/B01KV6E72O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497366220&sr=8-1&keywords=genesis+classic+game+console

You mean something like this? This even works with Genesis carts but it only outputs composite video and only mono and that's usually the case with these rereleased consoles; they're built so cheap that they usually end up inferior to the original hardware in someway.

Hopefully Nintendo has some sort of quality control but I'm not expecting any filter-free emulation or high quality upscaler.

Get yourself Streets of Rage 2!

I recommend the hyperkin GN6 controller - the also offer a USB varient

https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Genesis-GN6-Wired-Controller-Sega/dp/B00HM3QAWK

Here's my top 10 personal favorite games -

You'd be able to play the Game Gear or Master System versions, yeah. Not the Genesis versions.

Unless you're really wanting it to be something that fits on a keychain, I'd recommend this instead:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWD59LP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uhNFAbC88X4S5

It has all the Sonic games from the Genesis plus basically all of the other popular games from the console, you can load ROMs if there are games you want that aren't already on it, and it's an officially licensed product. It's also a bit cheaper and is available right now. That said, it won't play any Nintendo games.

Hope that helps.

dude would you shut up why do you even want this thing it's garbage

Perhaps one of these ?

https://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Mini/dp/B07PFT19MG

Official Sega product, will probably be hacked with a few weeks or months, so you can add your own games.

It looks like Amazon has a listing now, but I'm not that impressed with it...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XH3NZFV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_yCsHDbDAC7RNF

It's pretty nice it's in a packaging but the body looks kinda shitty. Maybe keep the packaging and find a better quality one on ebay. Sometimes you really can get lucky on ebay. I just got a MINT PSOne and MINT GameBoy Color Atomic Purple for $40. I've really been into classic consoles as of recent times. I've been thinking about getting a Sega Genesis... Maybe Version 2, but I'm worried about working condition. Does anyone know if the ATgames 80-IN-1 plays ALL Genesis cartridges as well?

Not sure if serious, but...

Uh that's $30 off, not $50
