Once exclusive to the SEGA Channel in North America, Mega Man®: The Wily Wars, a compilation of the first three Mega Man® entries, finds a new home on SEGA Genesis Mini! (We said only 40 games, right? Technically, that’s still true!)The Blue Bomber will have some competition, though, because here comes a new challenger – Street Fighter II’®: Special Champion Edition – one of the greatest fighting games of all time.Speaking of which, we’re also happy to announce the Retro-Bit® SEGA Genesis and SEGA Mega Drive 6-button controller will be released in late August with a price point of $19.99. This will surely give you the ultimate advantage, especially on games like Street Fighter II’®: Special Champion Edition, Comix Zone, and Beyond Oasis!Rounding out the list, we have the notoriously challenging Ghouls ‘n Ghosts®.
