Or the best versions of snatcher and policenautsNo PC-98?
I could do with some late 90s porn!
Isn't it the Japanese Saturn version?Or the best versions of snatcher and policenauts
Be gone HEATHEN!It's time to stop with these damn plastic mini boxes.
Not for me. I know that the msx and pc-98 versions of Snatcher are incomplete, but the pixel art is for one better, the perspective in relation to the figures is correct, and the music is awesome. The only reason i give the pc-98 a nod over the pc engine is because the audio on the pc engine sounds too thin. For Policenauts, i much prefer the pc-98’s pixel art over the 3do, ps, and saturn’s cel animation.Isn't it the Japanese Saturn version?
No. I love these minis consoles.It's time to stop with these damn plastic mini boxes.
They own all the Hudson and NEC properties nowKonami announces a TG16 mini?
Never knew that.They own all the Hudson and NEC properties now
According to an article, they haven’t ruled it outHope for a limited edition with all 3 systems!
3rd party support on the PC Engine had everyone from Sega, Capcom, Konami etc. Hell even more then the Megadrive.Lets see how well Konami market this PC Engine mini, 30 years ago that was in part one of the reasons it didn't manage to break the stronghold of Sega and Nintendo....as well as the fact that 3rd party support was next to non-existent compared to the competition..
There's such little nostalgia for the TG16 in the US. Konami really should market the product as "here's this forgotten classic console AND a whole bunch of Japanese games you probably never got a chance to play." If they fall hard on maintaining regional consistency, I can't see this thing doing well in the States.
At least they are including some CD-ROM titlesFirst question, how are the emulation?
Second question. hacked when?
There are several PC-e titles i want to try and i doubt Konami will included them in the box.
Like a lot of things, Nintendo didn’t invent classic console rereleases with bundled games, but they made it better and popularised it.So did Nintendo start all this or were just there at the beginning of this fad?

A first look at the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, which was announced earlier this week, has gone up thanks to mock-ups being available at E3, giving a first impression of the three console variations set to launch in Japan, Europe, and North America respectively.
As you might know, the PC Engine was also sold overseas as the PC Engine Core Grafx in Europe, and the TurboGrafx-16 in North America, and all three variations are set to be sold to their respective regions. While it’s called ‘mini’, each of them are actually around 85% of the original size, as it would lose some authenticity if it were even smaller. Meanwhile, the controllers stay the originally size as the original versions.
Interface-wise, the controllers use USB ports, and the output requires an HDMI cable. While the power switch is sliding-type like the original version, Hu-cards understandably can’t be inserted into the mini versions. While the back part does have a cover present where the expansion connector originally was, it’s just there for show and will instead likely be where the HDMI cable will be connected.
Currently, Konami is taking feedback on what titles should be included (you can find the first revealed titles here) over social media. It’s currently unknown whether the three versions will include the same titles. That said, while the mini console itself is of the base PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, Konami are accepting requests for titles from its expansion, the CD-ROM² and the SUPER CD-ROM² as well.
Finally, the various versions of the TurboGrafx-16 mini are only set to be sold in their respective regions. However, Konami have said that they are willing to look into releasing the other versions as Limited Editions in each respective region if there is enough demand over social media and the like.
A release date has not yet been announced for the TurboGrafx 16 Mini, PC Engine CoreGrafx Mini, or PC Engine Mini.
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.
Even publications from GamePro back in 1993 to more recently IGN in 2009 said that the lack of third-party support was one of the biggest drawbacks of the system.....3rd party support on the PC Engine had everyone from Sega, Capcom, Konami etc. Hell even more then the Megadrive.
Sega and Capcom licensed games to NEC and Hudson Soft for the PC Engine. All the 3rd party support like Konami, Taito and Namco was in Japan, for some reason early on NEC wanted to publish all of the Turbografx 16 games themselves in USA.3rd party support on the PC Engine had everyone from Sega, Capcom, Konami etc. Hell even more then the Megadrive.
The Japanese audience has spoken:
Wonder if they'll inquire what we want in the West as well, or if they'll just go by social media and YouTube commentaries.
One thing is for certain though; most people want Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. What a surprise!
