Not only is it not a Lego Genesis, but it's the worst possible representation you could have for the console: that dogcrap 3-button controller. I guess thank you for saving me money?

As much as it pains me to write these words, after going back and really getting refreshed on what happened throughout the 16-bit era—the SNES was a pretty decent little machine with a lot of good games. Still ain't anywhere near the Genesis/Mega Drive, let's be clear. But had a solid library.

So, let's say an unnamed person was looking to put together a Genesis/Mega Drive-focused fanzine later this year. Where would you be at on the inclusion of some amount of Master System/Mark III content? Would it be a logical extension of the focus, or would it not make sense to include?

So, in one of Quartermann's rumors sections, talking about Sega's new Genesis DSP chip, he says this: "Called the 'DSP' (yeah, I know what it stands for, but it's their name, not mine)" ...any clue what he'd referring to "DSP" standing for in the early '90s?

In the year 2025, I just recently received one brand new Genesis/MD release, have FOUR more currently on pre-order, am contemplating two other recently launched pre-orders, and have at least one Kickstarter to decide on. How am I struggling to keep up with a 36-year-old console's new games?!

Another Mega Drive game that never came West back in the day is now getting an official release on our shores! However, I do have to say, I’ve bought more new physical Gen/MD releases than PS5 + Xbox + Switch games combined in recent years. It’s a sickness.

One of the Mega Drive's rarest and insanely challenging vertical shooters finally makes its debut in the West! Say hello to Undeadline! 💥Face the challenge of the most underrated dark fantasy shooters of the 16-bit era. retro-bit.com/undeadline/ youtu.be/ieBV6IcFc2A?...

@mix256.bsky.social Hi! Do you have a flat version of Heavy Recoil's cover art so I can add the game to the Mega Drive tracker?

Would you believe me if I told you I bought ANOTHER Genesis? Because I did. 😅 Was a Facebook bundle with a Wii and a few PS2 sports games for $25. This makes Genesis/Mega Drive #5 I now own. What’s exciting about this one is it’s a VA3. My childhood Gen was a VA3 but died a few years back.

@twoblackcats.jp Hi! Do you happen to have a flat image of the artwork for the game's cover? I'd like to add the cover art to Prisonela MD's page on the Mega Drive Tracker! md.restartmag.com/prisone…

As I said on the Mega Drive Tracker, DO NOT BUY THIS. I know, it’s a neat promotion item, but it’s barely even a game. And this is an utterly ridiculous price. The main reason to want this is to have a “complete” collection and that’s always a terrible reason to want a game.

Completely unacceptable at this point if true. This is something we've worried about for a while on the Genesis/Mega Drive side, with at least a couple carts having voltage issues. Snow Bros is the first LRG published Genesis game I've purchased, so now hoping there are no issues with it.

We have our first Sega Genesis / Mega Drive physical release announcement of 2025! Retro-bit is bringing us P-47 II MD, a game originally finished and intended for release by Jaleco 35 years ago before its launch was cancelled. (No update yet on Retro-bit's temporarily-paused second Toaplan set.)

It's that time again! Here's my Genesis & Mega Drive collection as of January 2025, versus the starts of 2024, 2023, and 2022. Pretty big boost to my Japanese games due to my trip last summer, and got a couple cheap bundles on the Genesis side.

As the year comes to a close, 2024 saw 12 new physical releases come to the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive. We got four brand new games, seven reprints, and one promotional "game" for the third Sonic movie. The full list here—and let me know if I've missed anything!

The incredibly pricey Japan-only Mega Drive version of Snow Bros. is now getting a Western physical release through Limited Run Games! Also, did you know you can subscribe to the Mega Drive Tracker’s calendar to keep up on things like when Snow Bros.’s pre-order window closes?

Man, today’s been a busy day for Mega Drive news for me. We get a date for P-47IIMD, and I realized I’d missed two new Columbus Circle reprints from the past month or so, El Viento and Wardner.

City Connection has just announced the launch of P-47ⅡMD on March 13, 2025. Formerly known as The Freedom Star, it's a Mega Drive game produced by Jaleco in 1990 as a sort of sequel to P-47. Cover art by Tankro Kato / 加藤単駆郎 clariceshop.com/products/g_p... Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyqI...

Gotta tell you, I didn’t have “adding a new fully-packaged working Sega Genesis cart released in 2024 for the promotion of the third Sonic movie to the Mega Drive Tracker” on my bingo card.

With some weekend updates (and a few smaller site improvements), we're now up to at least 27 new physical releases know to be coming for the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive! I've also started taking first steps toward getting more of the backlog filled in. md.restartmag.com/categor….
