Sega showcases Genesis Mini console games at E3 2019
Sega was on-site at the E3 2019 showroom floors to give players a taste of the upcoming Sega Genesis mini console and its suite of bundled games.
Even as the gaming industry moves forward, many developers and publishers are looking backward. After all, many of today's gamers and game developers were reared on the 8- and 16-bit classics, and a new trend of miniature consoles is allowing players to bring all that nostalgic gaming action back home. The latest of such classically-inspired hardware comes from Sega in the form of the Genesis Mini console, and Shacknews was on-site at E3 2019 to check out some of the hottest games packed into the device.
