SEGA has just revealed the final 12 games that will be included in the Mega Drive Mini's memory. The interesting part is that the promise was 40 titles, but the company apparently decided to add 2 more to our surprise.
It is worth highlighting that, among the games in the collection, the final two, Darius and Tetris, are practically new to the system, since a port of Darius had never been made for the platform (the console has Sagaia, which is Darius II), while the Mega Drive version of Tetris is extremely rare and worth a real fortune when it appears on auction sites (it is estimated that there are around 10 copies among collectors, due to licensing problems with the franchise when its sale was prohibited).
Another interesting detail is that Monster World IV was released only in Japan, so it will reach the Western Mega Drive Mini with an official English translation (using the translation SEGA made in 2012 when it rereleased the game on PSN, Xbox Live, and Virtual Console in 2012).
