Project Lunar (SEGA Mega Drive) What the Genesis Mini 2 shares with the TG-16 and original Mini is how the list of games changes to reflect the language settings. Choose "Japanese" from the options menu for language, and the entire experience changes. You're not just changing the language for the on-screen prompts in the UI, you're changing the box art, the game language, even the UI changes to reflect the region. I much prefer the Japanese Mega Drive packaging and visual design because of how aggressively 1990s it is, and simply switching to Japanese in the language menu gives me what my eyeballs crave.
