WARNING! A huge shoot 'em up masterpiece Darius is approaching fast. The beloved arcade classic is making its way to a brand-new platform, and you won't need three monitors to enjoy all its legendary, aquatic-themed glory.
Another title leading the pack is one of the most iconic and intense motorcycle-racing experiences in Road Rash II. Grab your trusty chain or bat and compete in brutal street races alone or with a friend in 2-player split-screen action!
Finally, we have the game that made all your non-Genesis owning friends jealous, the one that was a cut above the rest, Strider. Take on mechanical beasts of all shapes and sizes as you flip and climb around futuristic Soviet Russia in a near-perfect arcade port.
But that's certainly not all! Here are the rest of the amazing titles coming to the SEGA Genesis Mini:
