SEGA has delayed the release of Mega Drive Mini to 2019. It was delayed to give SEGA enough time to have a simultaneous worldwide release in Europe, as well as North America for a Genesis Mini.
【お知らせ】セガフェス 2018で発表した「メガドライブ ミニ（仮称）」の発売を2019年に変更いたします。本年発売に向けて開発を行っておりましたが、特に海外のお客様からの反響が大きく、改めて北米は“GENESIS”、欧州は欧州版”Mega Drive”を再現したモデルを準備し、全世界で同時期に発売予定です。

SEGA also wants to have enough time to meet the expectations of the fans.
Thanks Gematsu.
