No love for Neutopia.... pretty fucked up imho.
I had not known that HudsonSoft & NEC collaborated on the Pc Engine/Turbogfx 16. Now it makes more sense. This is no different than Capcom’s arcade stick ROM collection.
There's an obcure tennis rpg thats fun.
I just heard that Konami bought all of the pc engine/turbografx’s library.Hudson did all the design - and in fact got as far as having the chips fabbed and prototype boards built before they concluded they didn't have the financial strength needed to do the mass production and marketing, especially once the CD-ROM system was included.
The console will come in three designs. The Japanese market will get the original white PC Engine, while Europe will get the CoreGrafx revision (which was basically just a different case colour). In the US, players will get the TurboGrafx-16 case design, which was larger to appeal to American sensibilities.

Read somewhere that the whole library is $20,000. It will be interesting how they approach this.
Hopefully Australia gets the CoreGrafx version as well. That's the best looking one.
Thank you for posting everything I was going to post, word for word.This is nice. Always wanted to get into this console but the prices turned me off. This is cool. Give me all the mini consoles please. Where is my 3DO mini?
Thank you.Happy for the 30 people who are gonna buy these.
I'm really down for this, so long as the emulation and game selection are both good. I didn't know much about the PC Engine growing up in the UK (apart from Bonk), so I'm looking forward to playing through the library.
The Happy Console Gamer has put together this video about games that should be included:
I watched this earlier, along with some MetalJesusRocks turbografx gems videos. I’m excited to see how many and what games they choose.
Im in the same boat. Hopefully this is more genesis mini than ps classic.What I liked most about the HCG video was that I had never even heard of most of the games, let alone played them. I know many people buy these mini consoles for nostalgia reasons, but I'm mostly interested in the ones that I didn't own at the time. It's great to have an undiscovered 16-bit library of games just waiting to be played for the first time. Even with consoles I did own (such as the Megadrive), the most enjoyment I get from the collections is playing the games I either didn't know about or couldn't afford back in the day. I'm just hoping Konami don't fuck this up.
Same here. Unfortunately the capacitors on mine leaked to shit. But I know someone who said they will recap it for me. He got the internal schematics as well. So I'm taking it to him soon to fix.Castlevani X brings back great memories and Cosmic Fantasy. I had the pleasure of being a turbogrfx gamer.
Despite being competitors in the console market at the time, the PC Engine was able to license a surprising number of Sega IPs. Hopefully Sega will return the favour for Konami putting their games on the Megadrive mini and allow their games on the system.
