The Sega Mega Drive Mini, expected to arrive worldwide on September 19, has been delayed in Europe and the Middle East. Sega Europe now says the mini redux will launch on October 4, two weeks later.

In a tweet posted on Monday, July 29, Sega Europe said "unavoidable logistical challenges" are what is causing the short delay. Whatever these challenges are only affect Europe and the Middle East, as the Sega America Twitter account has not responded to the news.

Unfortunately due to unavoidable logistical challenges, the European and Middle Eastern release of the Mega Drive Mini will be delayed by two weeks, to October 4th 2019. We appreciate your patience. — SEGA Europe (@SEGA_Europe) July 29, 2019

A Sega spokesperson told Eurogamer that "Customers in those regions are still able to pre-order from participating retailers and those who have already pre-ordered will only have to wait an extra two weeks for their little box full of retro magic." The spokesperson further said that Sega is "committed to a successful launch for consumers in all territories, [while ensuring] we can meet demand and fulfill all the individual pre-orders and retail orders in Europe and the Middle East at the same time."

The Sega Mega Drive Mini, which is available now for pre-order, contains a handful of classic and obscure games from the 16-bit era. These games include Comix Zone, Earthworm Jim, Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage 2. You can check out the full list of games below:
