I'm really happy that the Nadia RPG is on there but, since the anime is fairly obscure in North America especially when compared to its younger sibling series Evangelion, it's probably a pipedream that the Nadia Mega Drive game will finally get an official English translation on the western Genesis Mini 2 (assuming one is even coming out over on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean).

If Nadia is excluded from the North American Genesis Mini 2, I'd at least hope they'd replace it with M.U.S.H.A., the original Japanese version of which was on the first Mega Drive Mini in Japan but which was dropped from the Genesis Mini.

Predictably, Sega is using the version of OutRun where the Ferrari Testarossa sprite and Ferrari prancing horse logo is altered since Ferrari is a lot more pro-active in taking action against unauthorized use of its trademarks and intellectual property today compared to over 30 years ago, when recognizable likenesses of sports cars appeared in videogames all of the time, often without the game studios actually paying to license them from the sports car manufacturers.

I hope that one of the Sailor Moon beat 'em ups from Banpresto for Mega Drive will be revealed during one of the three remaining announcement streams.

^There were a region exclusives on the last mini, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a game like Nadia (and Sailor Moon if that came to it) be one of them unfortunately.

Nice to see that they're adding more CD games. I was worried that there'd only be a couple, but it looks like we'll have a decent selection Smile
