The choices are a little more out there compared to the original, though that isn't too surprising considering the original Genesis Mini had all the hits, but there's a great selection here. There's some great choices that somehow missed the original Mini (Ristar, Revenge of Shinobi), some hidden gems (Grenada, Ranger X), games that prove the Sega CD wasn't just the Sonic CD and bad FMV game machine (Robo Aleste, Shining Force CD), some arcade ports that were impressive back in the day but are kind of awkward to play now (Virtua Racing, Night Striker), and some curiosities. A highlight is a version of Space Harrier II that has sprite scaling, finally making that game playable from a modern perspective.

Top 10, just from impressions:
1. Ristar
2. Alien Soldier
3. Super Street Fighter II
4. Elemental Master
5. Herzog Zwei
6. Grenada
7. Lightening Force: Quest for the Darkstar
8. Sonic CD
9. Ranger X
10. Gain Ground
