This resulted in only two games being released at launch and only five more put out in the first year of sales.

Sega released a second model, titled the "Mega-CD 2", on 23 April 1993 in Japan<ref name="segamcd2"/> and in June of the same year for North America, though called the "Sega CD 2".<ref name="allgame"/> Europe would, once again, see the latest release of the peripheral, with it debuting in September 1993.<ref name="cvg"/> Designed to bring down the cost of the peripheral, this model featured a spring-loaded lid instead of the CD tray.
