It's easy to look a "Beyond Oasis" and compare it to Zelda, but the deeper you go, the more you'll realise just how unique it is. One of the very best games here for sure.
They still have to cover licenses and $$$$ so usually games like that sadly aren't on available, sadly. Hell the Genesis was a sports gamers dream but as someone said no NBA Jam, or Madden, or Techmo NFL. ANOTHER BUMMER. Actually seeing this whole video DAMN. This is a great library. Some weak but a lot of strong titles.
@@roasty80 Exactly but most of these people saying too bad I wanted such and such are usually ignorant of emulation or dont do it because theyre morally inept and care about the legalities despite obvious facts.
Strongly agree with Aladdin. Kind of don't care about Mortal Kombat because it is so widely available on pretty much every modern system and it doesn't even really hold up all that well. For me its a 15 minute nostalgia trip and that's about it. Aladdin is a timeless game though, and I had Lion King as a kid and thought that was pretty much equal to Aladdin. I'd substitute the Mickey games for those.
ah Victor! i love this dude! so awesome been a fan of him and the shows since 97, when i found electric playground on city tv Toronto, i miss reviews on the run , its a shame they are no longer on tv, and i miss Tommy, great work as always
Man, I was a Genesis kid and still never played most of these games. So a big review compilation like this is awesome. Can’t wait for my mini to arrive!
I am a diehard Sega fan for life. I think you were being generous with Alex Kid. I give Alex Kid in 1989 a 5 out of 10 and in 2019 a 2 out of 10. I got my Genesis in 1989 and it turned me into the diehard gamer I am today. I disagree with some of his reviews but not enough to make a fuss over it. I enjoyed this very much and I can't wait, the 19th can't come soon enough. I pre-ordered two Genesis Mini's (one for me and ine for my fiancee) as they will make an excellent addition to our retro game room. Wait...Strider makes a 4.5 out of 10?! No, I got this game when it was new and I still own it today. Strider is an excellent Sega Genesis game that deserves at least an 8 out of 10. For reference, I recently played it a few weeks ago and my only complaint is that it's too short. If I'm pulling hairs it is way to easy.
I never understood why marvel or DC never used the Comix Zone template to create a game for their respective universes. Imagine that in HD. It would be awesome.
Wow. Fantastic rundown. I liked your short, concise but very easy to understand mini-reviews of the titles. I hope you do something like this when the TG16 Classic comes out. I've been a fan of your coverage since the G4 days. Keep up the good work!
@@niicopanda i had it back in the day, but nowadays I can only replay it on emulation. It's a shame it's not included in any collection. I would pay gladly for it
Dude, I just tried to play that on the Konami Contra collection for pc released this year and sound is totally off. I understand it has an internal emulation but genesis emulation is something people. never. get. right.
I loved World of Illusion as a kid. I got to share the 2013 remake of Castle of Illusion with my daughter and we both had a blast. I wish they'd remake World of Illusion, too. Thanks for taking the time to make this great compilation review! Makes me want to get a Genesis mini.
I feel like a bum. I remember watching Victor on G4 in the early 2000's. I had no clue he was still in content on RUclips. It is nostalgic for me just to hear his voice! This is so cool for me finding this out even if I am late to the party! Subscribed and will now be looking through all the other videos probably all weekend.
Yeah a 5 is definitely harsh for Altered Beast. A solid 7 to me. Yeah the graphics are dated and it's cheesy but that's also what makes it great. Never get tired of hearing "POOWER UP!". ;)
@@jeremylatvala7590 I'd even go as far to say I genuinely like the graphics in "Altered Beast." When reviewing a game like this, one must consider the time it was released. The large sprites were very impressive for it's time. Keep in mind, for home consoles, most people in North America were comparing the graphics to what they saw on the NES. A huge jump in graphic quality, for sure!
Great review. Cant wait to spend some more time with my favorite childhood console. I have to say though that I have a very soft spot for Sonic Spinball, I give it a 9/10 :) I always loved the challenge of getting to the end, its not an easy game.
holy shii how am i only finding out about this channel now. The good news i guess is that i have a lot of videos to watch now. This really brings me back to the g4 days.
So glad you gave a good rating for Monster World 4 as it's my favourite megadrive game 🖒 Fun fact, this is the first time the game has been released in english on official Sega hardware 😎
The bean game is awesome with two people. I think it is much more lackluster solo. What makes it exiting is getting the giant combos of row after row of beans and having it bury your opponent.
I have just witnessed a solid proof that video game playing in moderation slows down the "aging process" both literally & figuratively! Living & breathing proof: The Man himself - Mr. Victor Lucas. Very subtle change from the G4TV days up to present. Thank you sir for the very sensible reviews of each & every game of the latest & arguably The Best version of all the SEGA GENESIS Mini consoles. Very well conception & so reasonably priced! The GENESIS Lives!
Thanks for the review. As soon as I saw ghouls and ghost, I knew I had to get it. I work in the boreal forest 6 months per year and my brother in law visits every year. Ghost and Goblins is the only thing we play when it rains on the Snes mini, so now we'll have this one too ! :)
20:40 But this ISN"T a 2019 version of Tetris. This is a 1988 version of Tertris from Sega's arcade game before all the modern Tetris rules were codified.
My Top 10 Sega Genesis Mini Games are: 10. Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion 9/10 9. CastleVania:Bloodlines 9/10 8. Beyond Oasis 9/10 7. Alisia Dragoon 9/10 My Sleeper Gem 💎 6. Phantasy Star IV 9/10 5. Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master 10/10 4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 10/10 3. Shining Force 10/10 2. Gun Star Heroes 10/10 1. Streets of Rage 2 10/10
M2 is the ones that handled most if not all the ports for this. they are very meticulous and are right now probably the best at porting. They are perfectionist and if they did what you say and ported 100 games, it would have taken years to complete this.
I unboxed and hooked up the Genesis Mini, and told my daughter that she could play any game she wanted. She picked the original Sonic 🤣 I asked why she chose Sonic, when the original "Not For Resale" cartridge of Sonic The Hedgehog, *and* the Game Genie, were sitting less than 2 feet away from her (and she has the classic Sonic games on DS as well)... "Well you said I could play whatever I wanted, and I want to play Sonic." True.
Referencing Megaman Wily Wars: "It's cool that even back in the day they were packaging games and archiving the past". Ironic since that game was only briefly available via the Sega Channel, and therefore could not be officially/legally archived (until now).
Thanks! These were all new to me as I haven't played a video game for 35 years. I used to play ones like Elevator Action, Paperboy, and the Atari collection on my Commodore 64, so the graphics look fine. I guess we have been locked at home too long, because it looks like fun, so going to order one....
To the people that say “oh they should have added this game or that game” sure. I could think of a ton of games they could have added to this list, but you can’t make everyone happy. Just add your own fucking games when it is hackable.
I need to get Strider 2 on the ps2, it comes with the original arcade version. I would actually give strider a 9 myself, it was one of the first games that used an 8 meg cart which was huge back in the day. A near perfect conversion with a better soundtrack.
@JasonTheMagnificent You might be disappointed then. Have you seen Mylifeingaming's 'Sega Genesis Mini - Details, Features, and Emulation Quality' video? In it they specifically give a side-by-side comparison of Strider on both original hardware and M2's emulation attempt on the Mini to demonstrate some problems that it has; namely his sword sounds different (like crap) and there is an annoying sound delay every time you use it.
Still beyond baffling to me why the Sega Genesis Mini would not include a USB plug-in where the non-functional aesthetic slot was to insert cartridges. I would have happily bought future collections of games that were like 20 for $20. Maybe give them time to work on obtaining the licenses to some of the games missing like Aladdin, Mortal Kombat, etc; as well as releasing some of the missing sequels for series that only included one title from their flagship series: Sonic and Knuckles, Streets of Rage 1 and 3, Shining Force II and Shining the the Darkness, they could even release some Master Drive collections. Seems like a huge opportunity missed... unless they plan on releasing Sega Genesis Mini 2 sometime in the distant future.... :/
Finally someone who isn’t afraid to tell everyone that altered beast and strider haven’t aged well. For me contra hard corps is my favourite game so respect man. That train robot is awesome.
Nice review ! To me, the presence of Virtua Fighter 2 sounds like "Hey, look ! Virtua Fighter 2 on the Mega Drive !". While I get why hits like Aladdin or Sonic 3 & Knuckles didn't make it, I sure would have traded Alex Kidd and Virtua Fighter 2 for Rocket Knight Adventures and Streets of Rage 1, which really SHOULD have been in the selection. Also seeing Castle of Illusion is there, QuackShot shouldn't have been left out.
Strider is still a great game, if and WHEN you can play it properly. M2's emulation attempt on the Sega Genesis Mini, however, is unfortunately something that can never be improved.
echelon2k8 even when emulated properly or on the cart you need to play it enough to get used to the movement and attack range to enjoy it. I noticed most the footage they showed was in the first couple minutes on the first stage and the player kept just running into enemies and dying... I played both the arcade and Genesis port last year and it holds up well in my opinion.
Wandering Panda I know the arcade is technically best, but I spent most my time on the Genesis version and I think despite the limitations of the hardware it’s a really good port. Since you have limited continues it definitely forces you to get good to beat it. But I like playing it with an arcade stick over a pad. I never played the PC engine version but I would like to.
thank god I found your channel, I seen you on Happy video Game nerd's channel a year or so ago but just couldn't remember this channels name to Sub... So many school day mornings as a kid watching this show.
Man, this guy barely aged since I seen him on G4TV. Brings me back to those good old days just by seeing him again.
I love vibe I'm getting from Wonder Boy franchise. The way they design the characters and world make me feel somewhat calm.
It's easy to look a "Beyond Oasis" and compare it to Zelda, but the deeper you go, the more you'll realise just how unique it is. One of the very best games here for sure.
Nice to see you back. Been watching you since g4tv days.
G4?! THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD!
Victor Lukas & Tommy Tallarico
Judgment Day & Electric Playground.
Fun fact: Tommy Tallarico did the sound editing for Aladdin on Sega
Too bad they couldn't get Aladdin and Mortal Kombat.
Wait for the hack
Aladdin and Lion King are coming out soon on modern consoles.
They still have to cover licenses and $$$$ so usually games like that sadly aren't on available, sadly. Hell the Genesis was a sports gamers dream but as someone said no NBA Jam, or Madden, or Techmo NFL. ANOTHER BUMMER.

Victor always gets me so hyped to buy games and consoles. Definitely got me hyped on the genesis mini. Gonna look for it today. Thanks Victor!
Your voice has preserved so well, sounds just like the old days on g4..
ah Victor! i love this dude! so awesome been a fan of him and the shows since 97, when i found electric playground on city tv Toronto, i miss reviews on the run , its a shame they are no longer on tv, and i miss Tommy, great work as always

Appreciate all the work that you did for this video, thank you.
Work?
Where?
I am a diehard Sega fan for life. I think you were being generous with Alex Kid. I give Alex Kid in 1989 a 5 out of 10 and in 2019 a 2 out of 10.
I got my Genesis in 1989 and it turned me into the diehard gamer I am today. I disagree with some of his reviews but not enough to make a fuss over it. I enjoyed this very much and I can't wait, the 19th can't come soon enough. I pre-ordered two Genesis Mini's (one for me and ine for my fiancee) as they will make an excellent addition to our retro game room.
Wait...Strider makes a 4.5 out of 10?! No, I got this game when it was new and I still own it today. Strider is an excellent Sega Genesis game that deserves at least an 8 out of 10. For reference, I recently played it a few weeks ago and my only complaint is that it's too short. If I'm pulling hairs it is way to easy.
Haven't seen Victor since the G4TV days with Tommy
Dude, as I am watching this, I want Tommy Telarico to come out and review the games with him like the old days on techTV. God those were the days.
I used to watch your show every Saturday and Sunday Morning for YEARS. So glad to see you on the RUclips. Subscribed!
miss a good tv show like Electric Playground (and Tommy lol)
What happened to Tommy???
And Judgment Day
I never understood why marvel or DC never used the Comix Zone template to create a game for their respective universes. Imagine that in HD. It would be awesome.
Having the characters being self aware that they're in a comic would be weird unless it was a Deadpool game.
No it would be cool
Damn! Is Vic going for the world record for most reviews in one video?? This was great!!
(let's try this again 😝)
Wow. Fantastic rundown. I liked your short, concise but very easy to understand mini-reviews of the titles. I hope you do something like this when the TG16 Classic comes out. I've been a fan of your coverage since the G4 days. Keep up the good work!
I wish Rocket Knight adventure would've been included. One of the best Genesis games... always forgotten
😂 I always wanted that game! Never got to play it.
@@niicopanda i had it back in the day, but nowadays I can only replay it on emulation. It's a shame it's not included in any collection. I would pay gladly for it
Everyone knows about that game, now the sequel is the game that's always forgotten
@@ced214 yeah..but Sparkster its not nearly as good as the original.
I never got to play it :0
I wanted when I was in middle school
I can't wait to get my Sega genesis mini next week this gonna be a birthday gift to myself
jeremy2684 enjoy!
Once I get my Genesis mini I'll treat it like the most precious console I have ever had.
Rock solid lineup here, but I'm mostly just happy that after so many years we get two places to play Contra: Hard Corps.
Dude, I just tried to play that on the Konami Contra collection for pc released this year and sound is totally off. I understand it has an internal emulation but genesis emulation is something people. never. get. right.
Same deal with Castlevania Bloodlines too.
I got chills hearing you shout out Tommy Tallarico on that Earthworm Jim review, shout out to Judgement Day :D
I'm excited for his Amico console. He's making a console!
@@iwanttocomplain What?! Really? Looking that up ASAP
Great reviews just wondering why you are outside?
I got lost looking for the studio.
Can you guys report LIVE on the scene for your next Film Fury?
Very cool series of reviews Vic! Really dig the complete view at the full library. Keep up the great work over there!
I loved World of Illusion as a kid. I got to share the 2013 remake of Castle of Illusion with my daughter and we both had a blast. I wish they'd remake World of Illusion, too. Thanks for taking the time to make this great compilation review! Makes me want to get a Genesis mini.
Thanks for reviewing all of the games. Most reviews do not go into that much detail. The Mini is one of the best retro consoles yet.

Welcome to the party!
Altered beast is a classic and one of my first games on my sms, I still love it, it was part of my childhood.

Great review. I played Gunstar Heroes earlier this year for the first time and was amazed. It's definitely a 10, and I love it.
Great review Victor. I just bought this console and can't wait to re-discover some of these classics.

4.5 for Strider !!! This guys nuts
Vic! C’mon!!! Strider 4.5? Ah nostalgia... great review. You are a professional.
....not!
gun star heroes was my jam back in the day , love that it got the 10
So glad you gave a good rating for Monster World 4 as it's my favourite megadrive game 🖒
Fun fact, this is the first time the game has been released in english on official Sega hardware 😎
I don't agree with 4.5 for columns but it's a good detailed video overall. Thanks :)
What's with plp hating on puzzle games. I love them
Splatterhouse would have been nice. Overall, nice variety though.
Loved your TV show back in the day, and you're still doing great reviews Vic!
The bean game is awesome with two people. I think it is much more lackluster solo. What makes it exiting is getting the giant combos of row after row of beans and having it bury your opponent.
Robocop vs Terminator was a lot of fun. But I guess it would be too violent to be included on the Genesis mini.
I have just witnessed a solid proof that video game playing in moderation slows down the "aging process" both literally & figuratively!
Living & breathing proof:
The Man himself - Mr. Victor Lucas.
Very subtle change from the G4TV days up to present.

Excellent video
You really got me enthused about this mini console. Great video!
So glad they included Darius. My all time favourite classic side scrolling shooter!
I got a ROM called Darius 2 is that the same game ??
Altered Beast! Power up! Wow....brings back sooo much memory!
So glad to see Beyond Oasis getting the recognition it deserves. Surprised the Genesis could push the colours out like that. Vibrant!
Really thorough review. Thank you!
4.5 for Strider was cruel. One of the best games in the lineup in my opinion.
Looking forward to all the content you mentioned in your review of the console.
My Top 10 Sega Genesis Mini Games are:
10. Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion 9/10
9. CastleVania:Bloodlines 9/10
8. Beyond Oasis 9/10
7. Alisia Dragoon 9/10 My Sleeper Gem 💎
6. Phantasy Star IV 9/10
5. Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master 10/10
4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 10/10
3. Shining Force 10/10
2. Gun Star Heroes 10/10
1. Streets of Rage 2 10/10
Congrwta on those Cineplex ads man. Good on the happy console gamer Link's Awakening review.
It is pretty crazy that there is a Disney game on here. Edit: There are two!? Licensing costs must have been high for this.
Jordan Riley I kinda wish batman and robin made it but it’s alright
Aladdin, Castle of Illusion, and World of Illusion. That's three games.
@@ostiariusalpha Great at maths, terrible at video comprehension. Aladdin isn't included in this collection.
@@DirkCjelli42 It will be on mine when I'm done with it. Touché, sir!
@@ostiariusalpha Good luck with that! Hopefully everything goes well and it is a simple process like the other classics systems.
Alex Kidd better than Strider??? No way :-/
It does play better besides the rock, paper, scissors thing.
Judgement day was my favorite g4 show of all time
Phantasy star 4 is easily a 10 out 10. But I agree all of them should be on there. Wish this minis would go extra mile and put like 100 games there
M2 is the ones that handled most if not all the ports for this. they are very meticulous and are right now probably the best at porting. They are perfectionist and if they did what you say and ported 100 games, it would have taken years to complete this.
Considering they already did Phantasy Star 1 for the Sega Ages line that could have easily been on here.
Just bought me one . This will bring back lots of memories.
Eternal Champions had music sampled on Bone Thugs album E 1999/Eternal. Still remains the best hip-hop album of all time.
gamer pro omg best hip hop album?? BONE THUGS!?? Hahahahaha
Foley Yayo The Low End Theory, 36 chambers, ready to die, and all eyes on me belong in the same tier.
Straight from the field of the wilderness of video game review.
Tetris is in there because it never got officially released on the Genesis. There's something like 4 copies in existence. PS - I enjoyed your rundown
Also 4.5 for Strider is a bit harsh tbf
Let's get a Victor Lucas Tommy Tallarico reunion!!!
Judgement day! That used to be my show! Good to see you again. Lets play MIB 2?
Epic runthrough!
I unboxed and hooked up the Genesis Mini, and told my daughter that she could play any game she wanted. She picked the original Sonic 🤣

True.
An 8 for shining force! Come on dude this is a 10 or at the very least a 9.5.... Keep the vids coming Vic. Wish you the best!
I'm gonna go ahead and give this video a..... 8.5 out of 10.
Nice man. Didnt know you still around. Signed up
Great video. Thanks for the breakdown.
Very well done, brother.
Glad to see that you haven’t aged since the G4 days

And you ol cohost who would make amazing game soundtracks...didn’t he do Earthworm Jim and a lot of 16 bit titles? Thanks Vic
Never mind you answered it ...Tommy ...
Giving strider a 4.5 triggers me. It’s an 8
In my book.
Strider was so epic on the Genesis back in the day,easily an 8 or 9 for me, I still play the arcade version to this day.
It's a solid 9
I need to get Strider 2 on the ps2, it comes with the original arcade version. I would actually give strider a 9 myself, it was one of the first games that used an 8 meg cart which was huge back in the day. A near perfect conversion with a better soundtrack.

What mini system would vic like too see next ?
Saturn mini :D
@@ebe7157 yeah that's unlikely. Saturn emulation is a mess.
So many great titles could have been included. I’m gonna pass on this console but might pick it up at later date. Great video presentation, victor.
Great video vic!
Finally someone who isn’t afraid to tell everyone that altered beast and strider haven’t aged well. For me contra hard corps is my favourite game so respect man. That train robot is awesome.
Sonic 1 is such a masterpiece.
Love this console and I just added a bunch of new games on mine

Everyone talking about g4tv like they sat around with their family listening to it after the Lone Ranger got off the radio.
Nice video. I think Sega missed a major opportunity here to include Sega CD and 32x versions of a couple of these games.
Strider is still a great game, if and WHEN you can play it properly. M2's emulation attempt on the Sega Genesis Mini, however, is unfortunately something that can never be improved.

You need to play more Landstalker!
There are thousands of game to play and so little time
Had to come back for a re-watch after reading the twitter post about all of the " why outdoors" comments. Some people's kids.
