Could be this shite...
I remember this game being featured on one of those VHS tapes they sometimes used to include with games magazines. I was pretty hyped at the time, but I never ended up buying it (I think the reviews weren't so positive). Was this game popular in the US? If so, then there's a chance of it being included in the North American version.

I'm going to laugh if it ends up being this game instead:
That would be some monkey paw wish:
It'll be crazier if the Japanese Mini wounds up getting TMNT: Hyperstone Heist while the U.S./European versions gets TMNT: Tournament Fighters.

Was it the vhs tape with issue 1 of Mean Machines Sega?
It looked gorgeous but you're right. Average reviews. Never played it myself.

Yep, haha. I must have watched that tape at least 100 times (the Mega CD one too).
Watching that clip again all these years later, I can see why the music and graphics attracted me. But from the video it seems that the hit box detection is all over the place.

Would be funny if it turns out to be Battletoads instead but far less so if Bart vs. The space mutants.
Edit* with E3 days away it could actually be Battletoads as some kind of marketing deal for Battletoads 2019. The original game even has your character riding a surfboard in one of the stages.

I am hoping there is a secret game or two to unlock at the end of all this.
Some of the choices have beem terrible (Altered Beast, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier 2) that they could make it up by getting the truly hardcore to unlock 3 games via basically playing the mini for X amount of hours (10/20).
Very likely going to Pre-Order the Japanese version is Cotton is on there. May still do anyway.

I'm betting we'll get some EA games to replace some of these Japanese ones.

Desert Strike seems likely, but I'm hoping for a sports game (NHL, specifically)

I'd be fine with both of those.
Hopefully we get Alisia Dragoon. People seem to think it won't be on our one.

They are showing Darius now. An extra game?

A new port of Darius has been developed by Taito & Sega just for the Mini.

Koshiro is playing Darius, so I think the game announcements are over. Out of the 11 Japanese games, I think these are a sure thing for the Western version:
Columns (or maybe a sequel)
Dynamite Headdy
Road Rash 2
Darius
With these also more likely than not:
Monster World 4 (we already have another Wonder Boy game announced, so they might stick to the per franchise rule)
Dynamite Headdy
Alisia Dragoon (was this popular in the West?)
Snow Bros. (we make a fun 2 player game)
We should have a western announcement within the hour. It's a shame we didn't get a separate English language show for each of the four 10 game announcements.

Pretty sure some homebrew guy had actually ported the entire game to the MegaDrive recently.

Maybe, I guess that the person is aware of it or actually works for Taito.

Dang, gotta get the Japanese version. They have so many shmups (Slap Fight, Darius, MUSHA).
Alisia Dragoon has a stunning soundtrack, andthat's not likely to come West literally proven wrong within 30 minutes

Columns III with a USB-splitter multitap would've been wonderful.
