Update:<\/strong> The bundle is now available for pre-order on Amazon Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Original Story:<\/strong> The full Japanese lineup for the Sega Mega Drive Mini<\/a> was revealed earlier via a Famitsu livestream<\/a> featuring legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro. After the initial ten games were announced, Sega surprised us all with two extra games<\/a> on the system (also coming to the west<\/a>), but the surprises didn’t stop there.<\/p>\n

With hype reaching dangerous levels for fans the world over, the presenters proceeded to pull out a miniature Mega CD (or Sega CD, if you prefer):<\/p>\n

This was swiftly followed by a mini 32X, plus a mini Sonic & Knuckles<\/a><\/strong>-style lock-on connecting cartridge and a normal cart:<\/p>\n

\"MegaTower\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Calm down, though – these are not functioning miniature consoles and carts in their own right. Unfortunately, they’re only cosmetic items enabling you to build your own tower of peripherals.<\/p>\n

It seems that very few people knew about these surprise little extras, including the good folks at M2 who developed the emulation software running in the console:<\/p>\n

The exact manner in which you can get your hands on this tantalising Sega stack is a little unclear due to our Japanese being a bit<\/em> rusty. According to Famitsu<\/a>, the ‘Mega Drive Mini Decoration Kit’ will be released with the console on 19th September, but we’ll get more details in the coming days – rest assured, we’ll update this article the moment we know. There’s no word on a western equivalent just yet, but we can dream…<\/p>\n

The full list of games<\/a> for the upcoming console is looking pretty tasty regardless of which version you’re looking at – check out our pre-order guide<\/a> if you’re thinking of getting one of these little beauties in September. Regardless of how you feel about the console, Yuzo Koshiro seems pretty taken with it:<\/p>\n
