Product Information

I personally don't know what to think of this, and I'll hold off until more is known, including more of the included games. It could be easily done, but these things wind up just sitting on my shelf more than they get played. The Saturn was released on May 11, 1995, [159] four months earlier than its originally intended release date of September 2, 1995.

One controller comes bundled with the console at retail, but Sega has also confirmed that controllers from the first iteration will be compatible with the Mega Drive Mini 2. Granted, the Mega Drive wasn't met with quite the same levels of enthusiasm in Japan, but in the US and Europe the Mega Drive often outsold the SNES at a ratio of 2:1. Following the success of its original Mega Drive / Genesis Mini, Sega has officially launched a second iteration of the miniature console, dubbed the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis 2.With this new rating system in place for the 1994 holiday season, Nintendo decided its censorship policies were no longer needed, and the SNES port of Mortal Kombat II was released uncensored. I came up with the name "Genesis" because I felt this would be a new beginning for Sega,' he explains. The late November release of Donkey Kong Country stood in stark contrast to the gloom and doom faced by the rest of the video game industry. Sega took a different approach, instituting America's first video game ratings system, the Videogame Rating Council (VRC), for all its current systems.

The second model is the Master System Converter 2, released only in Europe for use with the Mega Drive II. The decision to use a Motorola 68000 as the system's main CPU was made late in development, while a Zilog Z80 was used as a secondary CPU to handle the sound due to fears that the load to the main CPU would be too great if it handled both the visuals and the audio. Although the new unit was a stronger console than originally proposed, it was not compatible with Saturn games.Controversy surrounding violent games such as Night Trap and Mortal Kombat led Sega to create the Videogame Rating Council, a predecessor to the Entertainment Software Rating Board. I heard that with the PS1 manual to Lunar Eternal Blue even admitted one of the changes to the Sega CD version was more annoying than challenging.
