Come 2019, however, and the Sega Genesis Mini was announced to include the game (as well as World of Illusion) among the pre-installed 40 games.
    • A temporary example: from September 2016 to April 2017, the HD remake was unavailable for purchase due to Sega's contract expiring.
      • At the same time, Microsoft also made the game compatible with the XBOX One, ensuring that it is still going to be playable for a good long time yet.

  • Swan Song: The remake is the last game developed by Sega Studios Australia before it was shut down shortly after.
