The Sega Astro City Mini is the company’s next plug-and-play system, with the goal being to offer a replica of an actual arcade cabinet in someone’s living room. Announcements regarding its 36-game library have trickled out, and now a Famitsu livestream has revealed the last 13 games. It also revealed an Astro City arcade stick will appear at the same time as this miniature system. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Of the final 13, some are more notable and recognizable than others. For example, Flicky, Puyo Puyo 2, Space Harrier, and Thunder Force AC are all rather universally known and/or acclaimed. Here’s the full list of the last batch of Sega Astro City Mini games.

• Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
• Arabian Fight
• Flicky
• My Hero (Seishun Scandal)
• Ninja Princess
• Puyo Puyo 2
• Quartet 2
• Rad Mobile
• Scramble Spirits
• Sonic Boom
• Space Harrier
• Stack Columns
• Thunder Force AC 

As a reminder, the first 10 games were revealed in July 2020. 13 more were announced in August 2020.

As for the Astro City Mini arcade stick, it will be 350mm wide and 120mm tall. (This means it will be bigger than the device itself.) It will cost ¥12,800 (~$121), which is the same price as the system.

Here’s the full Famitsu live stream that goes over the Sega Astro City lineup. The new games begin to appear at the 32 minute mark. The arcade stick shows up at the 54:47 point.

The Sega Astro City Mini and the arcade stick that matches it will both appear in Japan on December 17, 2020.

Sega made plenty of Sega Astro City announcements today. The most important of them being the miniature arcade’s release date and details about the next 13 of the 36 games that will be in it. People in Japan will be able to find the system in stores on December 17, 2020. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

As for the next round of games, here are the additional 13. (Initially, 10 of the 36 games were revealed when it was announced.)

• Bonanza Bros.
• Columns
• Cotton
• Crack Down
• Cyber Police ESWAT
• Gain Ground

• Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R

• Shinobi
• Wonder Boy

Here’s a trailer showcasing all of them.

There will also be an accessory set that makes the Sega Astro City look more like an actual arcade cabinet. This ¥3,989 Game Center bundle gives you a stand for the system, a small stool, and a signboard. The bottom half actually acts as a bank. It will also launch on December 17, 2020.

The Japanese Sega Astro City release date is December 17, 2020, and it will cost ¥12,800 (~$121). The official website has also been updated with details about the launch, new games, and accessory.

Sega is apparently working on more than just the four different Game Gear Micro models. An interview was published, then pulled, from Game Watch on July 7, 2020 announcing the Astro City Mini. It will come to Japan in 2020 and cost ¥12,800 (~$119).  [Thanks, SegaDriven and The Verge!]

Like the SNK NeoGeo Mini, it will be a miniature arcade cabinet. You can play its games on the built-in screen and or a TV if you use an HDMI cord. The controls are obviously built in, and the joystick is actually an 8-way microswitch one.

Sega’s Astro City Mini will have 36 games on it. At the moment, only 10 of them have been confirmed. As you can expect, they are all classic Sega titles.

• Alien Storm
• Alien Syndrome
• Altered Beast
• Columns II
• Dark Edge
• Fantasy Zone
• Golden Axe
• Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder
• Tant R
• Virtua Fighter

At the moment, the Sega Astro City Mini has only been “announced” via that Game Watch published, then pulled, interview in Japan. There’s no western release announcement for it or the four Game Gear Micro models. However, Sega’s official Sega Genesis Mini plug-and-play system was released worldwide in 2019. (Different regions’ versions had different game lineups.)
