Sega has unveiled the complete list of games coming with the Genesis Mini 2, and it’s clear the new machine is as much for collectors as it is nostalgic fans. The 60-game catalog (shown in full below) includes two previously unreleased games, for starters. You’ll find Devi & Pii, a “paddle-style” game designed by Sonic 3‘s Takashi Iizuka, as well as Mindware’s finished but unpublished puzzler Star Mobile. Several new Genesis ports have also made the cut, including Fantasy Zone, the first two Space Harrier games, “hobby” ports of Spatter and Super Locomotive and a demake of Puyo Puyo Sun.
You’ll also want to pick up the Genesis Mini 2 if you have fond memories of playing Sega CD games. The retro console will bundle 12 titles originally built for the optical drive add-on, including the infamous Night Trap as well as CD versions of Sonic the Hedgehog, Ecco the Dolphin and (this author’s favorite) Silpheed.
The Genesis Mini is available to pre-order now for $100, and will be released in North America on October 27th. As mentioned earlier, you’ll want to snap it up quickly. Sega has warned that supply will be extremely limited in the US and Canada due to chip shortages, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get one after general sales begin.

You can play Hideo Kojima’s post-apocalyptic delivery simulator/action game Death Stranding with a PC Game Pass membership in a few days’ time. 505 Games first released the game for Windows in 2020, but soon you’ll also be able access it through the Microsoft subscription service at no additional cost. The developer says the version heading to the service will include the same features the Steam and Epic Games editions have. Those features include a high frame rate, ultrawide mode, photo mode, hard mode and cross over content from popular franchises like Half-Life and Cyberpunk 2077.
The game will also have unlockable content you can get as you progress and complete more of the story. That said, the version coming to PC Game Pass is not the director’s cut that was released more recently, but the original one. Death Stranding was published by Sony Interactive for the PS4 back in 2019 and got the director’s cut treatment for the PS5 in 2021. When it comes to consoles, it’s still a PlayStation exclusive — you can’t play it on the Xbox with a Game Pass. But at least you can test it out for free on PC if you haven’t given it a shot yet.
Death Stranding will be available on the PC Game Pass starting on August 23rd. 505 Games also promises to reveal more details in a Community Q&A in the next few days.

Once a war only waged amongst disposable razors, the engineering challenge of cramming as many blades as possible onto a razor has taken over electric shavers too.

What comes to mind when you think of a drive-in? Maybe it’s a memory of sitting in your parents’ car, nodding off in the backseat during a mediocre film about talking hamsters? Perhaps trips to the drive-in became a pandemic habit? Or maybe, upon hearing the word drive-in, you immediately think of the Grease fantasy. …
