SAVE $30: Relive your retro gaming days with the Sega Genesis Mini — it’s $30 off the usual price at Amazon as of Dec. 22.


The tail-end of 2020 has been all about trying to score a next-gen console — either the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X (or both, if you roll like that). But it’s been nearly impossible to get one with how fast they go out of stock. Only a lucky few have actually been able to secure one, and the rest were left with nothing but an empty shopping cart and a crushed dream. 

But who says you need to go next-gen? It’s totally fine to go in the opposite direction: fully retro. The Sega Genesis Mini is a great (and affordable) way to revisit some retro gaming classics, and it’s currently $30 off its original price at Amazon. 

The plug-and-play Sega Genesis Mini is a miniature replica of the original console in all its glory. It’s easily connected to your TV via HDMI, and gets you instant access to the box’s 42 legendary titles. You’ll find classics like Ecco the Dolphin, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Toe Jam & Earl, Sonic the Hedgehog, Gunstar Heroes, Earthworm Jim, Street Fighter 2, and more games that’ll keep you busy for quite some time. You’ll also get two controllers, in case you have a friend you want to play with. 

Put those next-gen dreams on hold — pick up a Sega Genesis Mini at Amazon and save $30.
