At Sega Fes 2019, Sega announced they will be releasing the Mega Drive Mini worldwide on September 19, 2019.
Sega gave details regarding the Japanese version of the Mega Drive Mini, saying that it will include a whopping 40 games.
Some games for the Japanese Mega Drive Mini include Sonic 2, Puyo Puyo 2, Shining Force, Castlevania Bloodlines, Powerball, Gunstar Heroes, Comix Zone, Rent-a-Hero, Space Harrier 2 as well as other Japanese only titles. Which will mean the American / European / Australian models will most likely receive a different lineup.
As well as the 40 games, Sega also mentioned they would be using the 6 button controllers as with the original Mega Drive and there will also be the ability to save a game from anywhere like what Nintendo and Sony have implemented with their Classic Consoles.
In Japan, they will be selling two versions of the Mega Drive Mini: The first will come with one controller for ¥6980 (approx $89), and the other with two controllers for ¥8980 (approx $114).
“Interesting story behind this sneaker. I was initially going to pass, but after spending many hours gazing upon IG shots, upon IG shots and the said sneaker passing my ‘cop test’ I decided to finally go for it. I headed to UPthere to try my luck. I came pretty late and was resigned to missing out, but out of nowhere came a hail mary assist from non other than the Sneaker Freaker Don himself — Woody!
I ended up with a size 9, which I subsequently traded down for an 8.5 with one of the lads in the line. Long story short, met total strangers in the line-up, ended up with new set of mates that share the same passion for sneakers, beer and photography.
The composition was driven by my enjoyment of capturing shots of sneakers ‘above ground.’ I like the way it develops the depth of field and gives the shot a feeling of action. The shot also, is completely unedited.This was achieved using the Sony a7ii and their entry 1.8 50mm prime lens.”

Overnight, Apple has announced 5 new services to hit the market this year. While we didn’t see any hardware announcements included in this event, we are still excited to see what they brought to the table.
Apple News Plus was first off the rank. Apple News Plus displays magazines with a new “Live Cover” presentation, lightly animating the covers for an interactive look and feel. Underneath the cover, highlighted stories are listed with blurbs, and the service recommends stories you might like even if they’re from magazines that you don’t typically read. You can also browse through magazines you subscribe to, and new issues are automatically downloaded for offline reading when they are released.
At launch, subscribers can access up to 300 magazines. Other digital and traditional news partners are part of the service as well, including The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times. Apple touts privacy in its app, noting that advertisers can’t track what you’re reading so you won’t receive targeted ads based on stories you click on.
Next up was the Apple Card. Now, unfortunately at this stage we will not see this launching in Australia. However, Australia did get an honourable mentioned through the keynote address as one of the leading countries to being using the Apple Pay system. Unlike traditional applications, you can apply directly on the iPhone and, once approved, the card is stored digitally on the Wallet app where you can view your statements, balance, and payment due dates. The app also tags locations and retailers to help you browse through transactions and remember where you may have made that purchase.
Apple Card
Apple Arcade was next up. Unlike cloud gaming services announced by Google last week at GDC, Apple’s version is more like a subscription to games that are available through the App Store instead of traditional titles that you can play on sets like the PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch (unless, of course, the game is also offered on iOS).
The company did not disclose the subscription fee, but it says that it will include access to more than 100 games that are exclusive to iOS. You can also play games across Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Mac computer, and games will be available for offline play.
Apple Arcade
Apple TV Channels was next which is around the new Apple TV update. The new Apple TV update will now include a focus on channels like HBO, PBS, CBS, Acorn TV, and Tastemade without punting users to a third-party app. Subscribers can choose which channels they’d like to subscribe to and pay per channel instead of a traditional, large package from cable companies. However, pricing was not shared during the keynote.
Apple TV Channels
And last but not least and probably the biggest thing to come out of the announcement this morning was Apple’s new streaming service called Apple TV Plus. Unfortunately, Apple didn’t announce a lot of details other than the name and that it will be available in the September 2019 with online and offline viewing. It spent the rest of the time introducing a gaggle of directors, actors, and actresses to help unveil Apple TV Plus, including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, Jason Momoa, Steve Carell, Alfre Woodard, Sesame Street’s Big Bird, and Kumail Nanjiani.
Not even Melbourne’s temperamental weather could keep the sneaker aficionados and connoisseurs from descending towards the Globe Warehouse at Port Melbourne to converge at the OG Swap Meet.
Fresh gear, food, toys, vintage clothing, books, rare nicknacks and of course sneakers were on full showcase at the event. Pretty much something for everyone that attended. It was a great day to catch up with your old sneaker mates and welcome the new generation of ‘heads’ to the culture.
