You get a curated experience with a bunch of good games, and an authentic controller. Additionally, the Genesis Mini 2 (one of the minis discussed in the article) comes with a bunch of games that you can't find elsewhere. There's brand new Genesis ports of Fantasy Zone, Super Locomotive, and Patter (old arcade games from the 80s), there's old unreleased games (Star Mobile and the English version of Rainbow Islands Extra), and most impressively, there's brand new versions of Space Harrier 1 and 2 for prototype Genesis hardware that supported sprite scaling (it got cut out of the retail hardware because the functionality took up too much die space). If you're not a Sega fan you might not care about any of this, but there's lots of new stuff for the fans even if they've played all the previously released games.
