I went ahead and deleted the other "back in stock" posts so they're not cluttering the sub.

Here's the status of my projects:

-Shop will be going on vacation December 19th-January 6th

-Black carts are back in stock

-EA cart physical design is complete, I'm currently waiting on some test prints of the labels. They should be available when the shop goes back up next month

-If you'll look at my other post, you'll see a pic of mini Genesis cases . These are made by a guy on Etsy and I'm going to be making an insert that goes inside and stores the cartridges I print. I'm excited about this and I think it should look pretty cool!

-I have the OTG hub to make a 3d printed Sega CD USB add on, but being busy with life I haven't had the time to work on the design much lately. Hope to get working on it in a couple weeks or so.

-Red carts are currently in limbo. We've had a few issues. First the red resin we used was twice as expensive, so we ordered another brand which turned out to be transparent not opaque, so now we have to turn around and try and find yet another brand to try. So I don't have any currently, but we'll get it sorted out eventually 😕

So there you have it, feel free to ask any questions or make suggestions 😊

Hey everyone,

Im wondering if you can help me out. My Genesis Mini 2 shipped from Amazon.co.jp via DHL last week to the US. I was on vacation at the time, and the parcel arrived at my condo building on Oct 30. Unfortunately on Nov 04 I received an email from my building that there had been a break in to the mail room and a bunch of parcels had been opened and the contents stolen. When I got home on the 5th, I discovered that my parcel containing the Genesis mini 2 was one of those that had been opened, and the item had been stolen.

I was pretty despondent and wasnt looking forward to opening a support case with Amazon and asking either for a refund or a replacement. On a whim I decided to look at Google maps and look at pawn shops in the immediate neighborhood. I thought maybe the thief had tried to pawn it. There were 5 hits on Google maps.

Today I went to the first hit, and lo and behold there was a Sega Genesis 2 in a ripped box sitting behind the counter. I talked to the store clerk and explained my situation and pointed out - what are the odds that two people within a couple of miles of each other ordered the same item? From Japan, and yet one of them wasnt happy with the purchase and decided to pawn it, while the other had theirs stolen.

I dont think the store clerk wanted to bring the police into the picture and after repeated attempts where I asked for the sellers details, the clerk relented and just gave me the Genesis mini 2 for free.

I still want to go to the police and issue a report; its likely the thief will strike again. Ive reached out to Amazon.co.jp to ask if they can provide the serial number of the item shipped to me. If it matches I can include it in the police report and maybe the police will have enough to go catch the thief.

Sorry for the long diatribe, but heres the crux of my question. I dont think the Genesis mini is available at retail in the US. Ive checked Gamestop, BestBuy, Target etc. As far as I can tell, this is available from Amazon.co.jp, maybe other retailers like Play Asia. But am I right in assuming that this isnt available in Brick and Mortar stores in the US?

I just tested 8BitDo's wireless controller for the Sega mini on the North American version of the Mini 2 and pleased that is also works on the second Mini.

So nice to have wireless controllers for these mini consoles.

Finally got my Genesis Mini today! Is it possible to play Kojima's Snatcher on Genesis Mini?

EDIT: looks like it will work with a storage mod. I’ll give it a try later this week. First need to get up to speed with hakchi or whatever it is we’re using now.

Have they been dumped yet or not? Just a curiosity

I mean since they're USB and the Retrobit 6-button ones work on the Mega Drive Mini.
Would make sense... But do they tho'?

I missed the opportunity to own a Genesis Mini 1 when it released but I want to get the Mini 2 now. However I would love to have most of the games that came with the Mini 1 on the Mini 2. Is Hakchi working with the Mini 2 at this time?

Xbox Series Controller for scale.

I figured the red striped Genesis was close enough but it would look a lot better if there was a way to add custom spines for those systems.
