Depends.. if you are thinking of playing something like Contra/Castlevania/Gunstar Heroes then it may be a bad idea. Generally US Genesis games are much cheaper, especially those that are region locked. And also decide whether you want a CD add-on or not, those games are region locked too and it's quite troublesome to unlock them.

But the MD is surely JP only, and most games produced around 1994 and after are region locked, like those I mentioned plus other hits like Sonic 3, Thunder Force 4, Shinobi 3 and Phantasy Star 4. If I were you I would get something I don't already have rather than adding stuff just for the sake of collecting (growing old  ). Get a N64 instead

Honestly this game, blows, suxs monkey balls......however if you were buy this, don't open it if its factory sealed, coz that lousy piece of cellophane is worth 30-45USD extra, don't ask me why....

If your aunt bought you brand new one then yes cause the PSU is built inside the console itself like the fat PS2.
