Sega Mega Drive Mini
£60 / stuff.tv/MegaDriveMini
There’ll be playground rows and online feuds
over whether Nintendo’s or Sega’s games
are better, but the Mega Drive Mini wins
the miniature retro console war in terms of
the faithful recreation of both hardware and
software – especially as there are 42 games
included. It’s taken a long time to get here,
but as the saying goes, to be this good takes
ages – and the Sega is the must-buy console
of the moment.
