  • All of the old-school gaming systems are making a return with mini versions. We've seen the

  • original mini PlayStation, the mini Super NES, and even a mini original Nintendo Classic.

  • Well, Sega doesn't want to be left out, and today we're going to see how this tiny guy

  • works from the inside.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • Well, I think it's time we talk about the elephant in the room. If you had a Sega growing

  • up, you were probably only half as cool as the kid with a Nintendo down the street. But

  • hey, something is better than nothing. My mom would only let me have a Gameboy as a

  • kid. Probably so I would turn out normal or something. Which I totally did. Sonic the

  • Hedgehog is Sega's claim to fame, and this mini console does come with three of those

  • games, along with 39 other titles built right into the consolemega hits everyone's

  • heard of like Earthworm Jim, Golden Ax, and don't fall off the ladder while hanging Christmas

  • lights or you might break your wrist...you know...the classics.

  • Inside of the box we get an instruction booklet, along with a tiny 5 watt USB charger, 2 Genesis

  • controllers (we'll have to take these apart in a second), both of them communicate with

  • a six-foot-long USB cable that plugs right into the console. There is a micro USB power

  • cord along with an HDMI cable. Finally, we get the Sega Genesis mini in it's own little

  • tiny cardboard box, right here in all of its glory. The full size version was released

  • in Japan in 1988. Sixteen-bit graphics were a pretty big deal back then. Nintendo wouldn't

  • release a 16-bit system for 2 more years, in 1990. But then after that, Nintendo kind

  • of took over.

  • For a graphical reference, the Gameboy only had 8-bit graphics. The top slot does have

  • springy doors that open up but no pins inside, and no cartridges. We'll have to see if this

  • hole leads anywhere in just a second. There is one other random little door off to the

  • side which has nothing under it and goes nowhere. Not sure if this has anything to do with the

  • original system or not.

  • To get inside of the Sega Genesis mini, there are 6 Phillips head screws holding on the

  • back plastic panel. Once those are out I can pull off the top exposing the motherboard

  • and the underside of the top plastics. We can see here that the little cartridge slot

  • in the top is just for aesthetics. Pretty cool that it opens up though. You could totally

  • hide all kinds of stuff in here. The mini Nintendo version just had solid pieces of

  • plastic covering these slots. So Sega's attention to detail is pretty nice.

  • The backside of the console has its micro USB power port along with the HDMI output.

  • The two USB ports for the controllers are on the front. I'll pull off the metal heat

  • plate over the motherboard. It's got 3 screws of it's own. When the metal plate comes off,

  • we can see that there is a tiny square of thermal foam on top of the processor. No fans

  • or anything. Just a simple board and metal plate for the heat dissipation. Kind of like

  • how smartphones work. The motherboard has one more screw holding it to the base and

  • there's nothing else really super interesting down here.

  • The upper side of the board has the power slider and reset button. What is pretty interesting

  • though is that the volume slider on the exterior is just for decoration. There is nothing connecting

  • that slider to anything inside of the console, so controlling the volume of the console will

  • be done through the HDMI and the TV. I wonder how many people got tricked by that button...probably

  • like all 5 of them who bought this. Well, six including me.

  • With the metal plate back on we can see that there is an LED built right into the motherboard.

  • And this shines up through the power on light on top of the console. The LED is pretty far

  • away from the actual exterior though. Once I get the console put back together I can

  • set it off to the side and grab the 3 button Genesis controller. These guys have the 6

  • foot cable which is a huge perk over the three foot controller cable that came with the mini

  • Nintendo Classic. Once the 6 Phillips head screws on the back of the controller are removed,

  • I can pop off the back of the controller exposing a bone-white circuit board. I'll be super

  • careful with removal because bones are bones, and bones can break. It's green on the other

  • side. Each of the exterior plastic buttons are solid plastic. And each of them have custom

  • pegs on the back that only allow the correct button to fall into the correct corresponding

  • hole. We've seen similar fail safe assembly designs in basically every controller we've

  • taken apart, including the new Nintendo Switch.

  • On the underside of each of the plastic buttons is a rubber pad. This would allow the buttons

  • to be pressed and then spring back up into place. The motherboard has little contact

  • pads on the surface. And like and Switch, when the two sides of each button area are

  • connected with this conductive material, the Sega console gets a signal that the button

  • has been pressed. The rubber pads each have their own black conductive area on the bottom.

  • Pretty smart design. No mechanical parts or springs to get lost or jammed. Just rubber,

  • which should last for a pretty long time.

  • The way the cable ties into the back of the controller though are not quite as strong

  • as what we saw inside of the Nintendo controllers. This only has one point of contact and could

  • probably be broken if twirled around or thrown. The Nintendo controller cables were much more

  • secure. The cable was wrapped around inside of a few posts inside of the controller before

  • extending out the top. So don't abuse the controllers too much.

  • Basically, if your mom never let you have a gaming console growing up, now's your chance

  • to buy the mini versions of all of them. The Sega mini is like $50 on Amazon right now.

  • I'll put a link in the description. And if your mom ever comes over, you can just hide

  • them all real quick since they're so small. She'll never even know.

  • Personally, I think this thing is pretty awesome. Thumbs up to Sega for making a comeback. Now

  • I think I want to see a mini Nintendo 64 with its 64-bit graphics. Now if you'll excuse

  • me, I'm going to go look up cheat codes for the Christmas light hanging game because I

  • definitely lost my last round.

  • Hit the subscribe button if you haven't already. Come hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter.

  • And thanks a ton for watching. I'll see you around.
