Turbografx mini announced at e3

Ordered, but as said, only one pad seems harsh.

So as not to completely fill my house with retro stuff, I had to choose between the Grafix or this: http://www.capcomhomearcade.com/home

Twice the price and only 16 games. And, well, just look at it...

And an illegally licensed emulator onboard.

That's an enormous thing... not at all subtle. For that scale and price, diy arcade stick with a Pi built into it for me.

We have news. Some good, some better, some interesting and also painful.

Good news. Konami have added more games. Now up to 57!

Added:
Seirei Senshi Spriggan (PC Engine)
Spriggan Mark 2 (PC Engine)
Dragon Spirit (PC Engine)
Galaga ’88 (PC Engine)
The Genji and the Heike Clans (PC Engine)
The Legend of Valkyrie (PC Engine)
Splatterhouse (TurboGrafx-16)

And now the best news. Konami have confirmed that M2 are doing the emulation. **** yeah!

Interesting news. Hori have announced an official multitap for the TG16Mini. Allows 5 players. £24.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TDQYHQN

And finally, the painful news. Additional pads are now available to order. And they're £21.99 each... Ouch. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TFW2MYX

I've pre-ordered this. V excited even though I own an original machine, it tends to not get used much.

Hardware of the Neo Geo X and the software of the Neo Geo mini would be almost perfect.

I feel like this needs to be done by someone. Couldn't be too difficult surely?

I've pre-ordered now as well, looking forward to it.

Does the money leave your account when you place the pre order? or when the item ships?

ShiWarrior · 14 Aug 2019 at 20:38

It just depended on what country you were in. I actually like the CoreGrafx and PC Engine size. It's still surprisingly compact now.

I had pretty much every console at some point growing up (yay for older brothers) but I'd never heard of this, shame, I think it would've done well over here, looks like a great little machine, one of my holy grails, but one I'll probably never see "in the wild"

Mucky_Pup · 9 Dec 2019 at 09:22

Just pre-ordered mine, gonna wait and see if they make a black controller to order before getting a 2nd controller though.

It was available in the UK for a time, via mail order

I think the main issue on release was the games lineup, at least for western tastes.

Some great shooters - particularly the excellent version of R-Type.
