Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Hell yeah, I had been hoping that we would get a Turbo Grafix 16 mini, Looking forward to it.

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
I'm guessing that it's maybe a given but I hope Keith Courage is included as well.

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Odd choice for a mini-console. I always had the impression the TurboGrafx wasn't that popular over here.

Eww, really? You liked that game? I'm hoping for Splatterhouse! And Blazing Lazers!!
I have fond memories of KC but I haven't seen or played it since back when it was current. Very possible it's just nostalgia. But I recall it being a fun game for the pack-in game with the system. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Hell yes. I'll buy both.

Did Konami buy NEC or something? Weird that Konami would announce this. |

They released it here late and it was ugly... when the PC Engine was originally released in Japan it was competing with the Famicom. I remember playing Nectaris at my friend's house and being just blown away.

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Better have Bonk, Splatterhouse and Vigilante. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
OOH! It better have the Neutopia games! those were some BAD ASS zelda clones!
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...e5a1fd9d30.jpg Kid Courage was a weird one, it was the pack in, so everyone got it, I think... from what I recall it was kind of a split game ... 1/2 the game you play as this kid and the movement is hella lame: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...61cf83133e.gif And the other half of the game you transform into a robot or something, and that part was pretty fun: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...d95c8dd66b.jpg I just remember the "kid" parts being so bad they were hard to slog through to get to the robot parts. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
You mean Keith Courage? I was a big fan of the cartoon it was based on (well, really the toys the cartoon was based on) so I liked the game. So many Japanese IPs hidden in the early console games, like to this day I don't know why they didn't just call Last Battle as Fist of the North Star.
I have fond memories of the console itself but I don't think I have enough fond memories to buy this. Maybe if they redid the portable one and it didn't suck up batteries like crazy. Bring on the Saturn mini or the Dreamcast mini and I'm there day one, though. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Keith Courage was great. It just wasn't the right choice for a pack in game. And alot of people forget but the PC Engine rivaled the Famicom in Japan.

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Looved TG-16!

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
...This thread is regular size.
I'm surprised this is getting released, but I'll gladly buy one. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
I had a TG when I was younger mostly because I wanted Splatterhouse which I thought looked like best game ever (it wasn’t). I had a few other games but it was pretty forgettable system so I may try it again if these are readily available.

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
I remember a good bit of hype, but then in it's last days there were stacks of them in the stores being marked down.
I actually bought a used one several years ago and a few games, but we downsized a major part of our game collection and that went with it. My wife would prefer to emulate old games like this, but to me there's something about the little console and the controller that are part of the experience. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Full list announced:

Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Military Madness!!!! I still have my original Nectaris disc for PS1
Why no Keith Courage though??? D: Either way; fantastic list. My pre order certainly won't be cancelled. |
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
The lack of Legendary Axe I - II, Splatterhouse, Dracula X, Keith Courage and Magical Chase is odd.
|
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
I don't recall, is Splatterhouse on the Genesis mini?
|
Re: Yet Another Mini Thread TurboGrafx-16 mini coming
Oh, wait, I misread that. you ALSO get the japanese games (I thought that was the list for the japanese version of the console):

This also seems to be an amazon exclusive. |
