Anthony is a Sega kid, so we got in the new Sega Genesis Mini 2 for him to take a look at. Is it a worthy successor, or should you stick to the original hardware?

the mini console industry is really capitalizing on the fact that their fanbase is overly nostalgic and is now old enough to have money themselves 😂
-
I love it when the Youtube comment section unites to celebrate Anthony being great. He's just an all round loveable guy. I hope he sees these comments often :)
-
I'm not even a SEGA kid but enjoyed this a lot. Anthony's excitement about it is contagious.
-
Always happy to see anthony happy.
-
I enjoy hearing Anthony talk about literally anything to the point where I don't even skip over the sponsors he reads.
-
“I really like this — that’s why I’m gonna take it apart!” is such a relatable line
-
The European Mega Drive 2 also had a power switch like that, and not the push button :)
-
A Tech Quicky and now a ShortCircuit? It's officially Anthony day at LTT
-
ECCO the dolphin 🐬 is honestly my favourite and most memorable game from my childhood. It is beautiful and terrifying at the same time!
-
Micro USB in 2022, I sense Anthony's disappointment
-
Oh, this looks cute *clicks on amazon link in description > $600... yeh, nope.
-
Anthony is not only very knowledgeable he also seems like a nice guy, he's got an honesty to him. Up there with one of my favorite tech guys 👍
-
The genesis was the first console that I played way back in 95. Playing the mini classics were a nostalgia trip.
-
I love seeing things like this. Thanks, Anthony!!! Your videos are ALWAYS time well spent.
-
We need a mini show called ask Anthony. The people NEED THIS
-
I love seeing thing from my childhood brought back and being able to enjoy them again. I own a Sega Genesis model 2 and a handful of game, its nice seeing they put some of the hard to find and expensive one on the mini like crusader of centy. I wonder if they will bring back tube tv and CRT monitors next for a more authentic feel LOL.
-
I bought this as the preorder came available. I love mine and it reminds me of one of my favorite systems growing up.
-
The lack of games is the big issue; I don't want two genesis minis to get all of the games. I barely want one genesis mini to get games that I could otherwise emulate.
-
1) Anthony's making me want this despite my mini 1 currently sitting unused 2) "you can setup an emulator box for less than this with a raspberry pi" awful big assumption that we can get a raspberry pi
-
Glad to see Anthony dominate the channels today :)
