So quite a few. Whilst I was a Nintendoid at that point, there are enough titles there to tempt me.

An absolutely stunning line-up. As you say, hopefully this will be more Nintendo-mini rather than Playstation-mini, in terms of how they manage the hardware and emulation.

I'll probably get this even though I already have a collection of carts - there are a few games on that list which cost an absolute bomb if you get the originals, would probably be cheaper to get the Mega Drive mini just for them!

I think I have everything on the list except Castlevania of the games that got a regular release. Will have to read up on the Darius and Tetris versions.

I've got an extremely small hope of ever coming across Monster World and Phantasy Star (well.. at least for an amount of money that's less than I've spent before on buying a car) - so I'll get this just for a chance to play those.

Neat. Wish they had Shining Force 2 as well.

Very strong lineup.
I have most of these on emulator however so am not totally sure I'll be picking one up.
Although I definitely miss the megadrive 6 button pad.

I think the Ultimate Genesis/Mega Drive Collection that you can get for consoles has a stronger overall lineup, but this does have some noteworthy additions like Earthworm Jim and TJ&E.
