The SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 will include a jewel that would also reach the West

In this selection there are several titles that are current franchises today, such as Shin Megami Tensei Y Phantasy StarIIas well as others fondly remembered, such as Ecco the Dolphin.

However, the surprise of the new lineup is robbery eastthe version of the side-scrolling shooter that originally came to Japan under the name Dennin-Aleste with some changes.

Fans asked for this title a lot not only from Japan, but also from the West and apparently there is good news for them. SEGA has not confirmed any more titles for the SEGA Genesis Mini 2, but apparently one of them will be robbery east. This would be confirmed by Yosuke Okunari, one of those responsible for the miniconsole.

In an interview with the magazine Dengeki (via gosokkyu), the creative revealed that he thought that nobody would want this title, but his opinion changed when he learned that in the polls it was one of the most requested games. After playing it and seeing the differences in gameplay compared to Dennin-AlesteHe knew it was worth giving it a try.

At first, it was planned to be exclusive to the SEGA Genesis Mini 2 due to its popularity in the West, but it was eventually decided to include it on both mini-consoles and add the option to select between the Japanese and Western versions.

Until now; however, this game has not been officially revealed for the SEGA Genesis Mini 2, rather the list of 23 original games has not been updated, but we do not doubt that many titles from the Japanese miniconsole will also reach the Western one.

Unfortunately, Shin Megami Tensei It would not suffer the same fate, since the title was not localized for the West, but came exclusively to the SEGA Mega Drive decades ago. We will keep you informed.

Then we leave you with the list of games 34 to 44 that will include the Mega Drive Mini 2 (via Gematsu).

In case you missed it: SEGA will also sell a retro joystick compatible with the SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 and also PC.

Okunari figured those differences would make it worth revisiting; it was originally going to be exclusive to the Genesis Mini 2, but they ended up adding it to both (with a Dennin/Robo version select), partly bc they could only add so many MCD games
