Welcome to the Next Level...online.

Sega Genesis games, from a system not from Nintendo, are available on Switch Online, powered by the Genesis Mini's M2Engage emulator. Fittingly, the app's startup sound is the "SE-GA!" chant.

Easter Egg

Mega Drive/Genesis Control Pad Menu

Hmmm...
To do:
Upload images of the menu with and without the Switch MD/GEN Control Pad.

Whenever a Mega Drive or Genesis control pad is attached, the main menu's color (Red/Black (INT) or White (JP/AS) colors) and sound effects (from Sonic the Hedgehog 2) will change.

Regional Differences

Hmmm...
To do:
Add Japanese/Korean Mega Drive title screen, as well as all app icons.

Naturally, the title screen differs between regions due to the console name differing between regions. If the system language is set to Russian, a unique title screen appears, reading simply "16-bit Classics from SEGA" in Russian with no logo, due to the Mega Drive name being trademarked by other Russian entities at the time.

Game Lineup

Puyo Puyo is replaced with its Sonic-themed reskin Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine in most countries, as per usual with these collections.

Exclusive to Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

Exclusive to North America, Brazil, Europe, Australia, and South Korea
