The Sega Genesis Mini is due out on September 19, and it has a staggering 42 games available for you to enjoy on your modern widescreen TV. But let’s face it, even though each of the🔥se games are likely to be a major nostalgia bomb for someone, not every one is a certifie🅰d banger.
That’s why we here at TheGamer are looking to optimize your mini Genesis play time by ranking every 💞single one of these games, so you can get right to the absolute classics. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our ranking of all 42 games on the Sega Genesis Mini:

42? Darius
We can't really rank Darius, seeing as how it's a port of a game that never came out on the actual Sega Genesis. However, Darius does reminඣd us of Hootie & The Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker, so we do give it points for that.
41. Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle
Alex Kidd was the original Sega mascot prior to Sonic. He was a weird looking ꦯmonkey boy whose platforming games were about as basic as possible. It's easy to see why they fꦰired him.
40. Virtua Fighter 2
Forget Ryu or Scorpion♛, look at the polygons on Jeffry! Sadly, the visuals didn’t really age all that well, and neither did the gameplay.
39. Kid Chameleon
Considering how radical Kid Chameleon looks, it's🐼 a shame this floaty 🀅platformer couldn't match up with his attitude.
38. Space Harrier 2
Hanging out with this dork in a red jumpsuit isn't high on♊ our list of priorities.
37. Light Crusader
You basically hang out in one massive dungeon, solving easy puzzles, and trying🌌 to aim your frustrating, awkward jumps in an i💙sometric view. There are better things to crusade for.
36. Sonic Spinball
Sonic can turn into a ball. Pinball involves balls. Thus, Sonic as a pinball should work pretty well. But instead we got a tremendously difficult pinball game with awkward controls, and little of that Sonic charm.
35. Altered Beast
"Rise from your grave" an𒊎d play a sub-par beat 'em up.
34. Landstalker
Landstalker actually has a decent sense of humor, but it’s essentially another isometric action platformer with awkward jumping mechanics. It’s cute, but ꦡoverall nothing special.
33. Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
These are the weirdest beans we've ever seen.
