Old Pat Podcast talking about how it will never happen LOL

They are saying japan version has cd Rondo or dragon x or something =0 Hope we get sf2 too
I have a TG16 but not many games because of prices. This is the one I really do want if the right games are on there but I need this to be a 2020 thing. I can't do any more this year.
I will gladly buy the Genesis Mini and this TurboDuo Mini. Like I said Rondo Dracula X is on the Japan version =0 proof here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuGnIejo36AQuote:

Not going to lie...this phenomenon is amazing. You know Dracula X will be on it...but what other games for TG-16 do you guys think should be there?
I'm more curious how much mini they can make a PCE? It really is kinda mini size to begin with in real life and the pics above make them look like they might still be about the same size. I'm sure the pics aren't to proper scaling..etc but still the PCE is so tiny they could have just used the original shell molds anyway right?
I’m surprised that the North American version will have Ys I & II. I hope that all of the FMV cut scenes will be there.Quote:

I want all three shells!
And remember:

Ys I & II doesn't have any fmv, but either way game size is irrelevant. Even uncompressed a bunch of CD games is only a handful of GB.Quote:

I’ve only seen Ys I on display at a Toys R’ Us. I seem to recall it having an FMV intro (some golden emblem that showed artifacts) followed by cut scenes, like what was done with the Lunar Games.Quote:

I'm getting Japan one with Y's, Rondo etc and hopefully my 6 button Mini controller (Japan mini) works with this and I can play sf2 tg16 version.Quote:

What do you mean? What about releasing the Sega-CD Mini that must be attached to the Genesis mini in order to work? :cool:Quote:

That's pretty awesome, when I first heard about it last night I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe it. Would love to have the Core Grafx mini pictured, i've always wanted a PC Engine but never really got around to buying one because of the game prices so this is great to me.
I like the cheezy look of the US tg16! I will buy IF:
1. Emulation is decent
2. Contaims all Hudson Soft and NEC games (they are owned by konami)
3. English rondo
Yeah, after it looked like these mini things might be a thing, I was thinking this would probably be the only one I'd actually really want. I don't have an actual console, and I don't expect to acquire one at this point. Right now, the interest is definitely there.Quote:

Amusingly, the Western version of the game got a Virtual Console release back in 2007. Not the Japanese one (it seems). Go figure?
Konami only owns Hudson Soft. NEC is still a massive company compared to Konami.Quote:

It would have been cool if they gave us a Supergraphx Mini. That way we could have the coolest looking console, along with the handful of games made for it.
I understand why some people do or do not like the look of the TG-16, but it was totally in line with PC Engine hardware/accessory designs. It retains all of the key physicals aesthetics and the t-bone shape is the same as the SuperGrafx. Even the name TurboGrafx-16 fits in with the rest of the PC Engine line.Quote:

Would you say the pc engine was the dreamcast of its day? Compact and power in simple aero box. Compared to the rectangle ps2 box and tg16 looking xbox original box? Game cube shape was cool but dreamcast in my eyes is best. Sega always made cool looking hardware across ALL regions !Quote:

Yes ,very much so. The Dreamcast minimalist looks and small stature hid what was a brilliant and powerful system. The DC is a thing of beautyQuote:

Is it true? Because if so, that would be stupid since this goes against the actual system legacy. The PC Engine does NOT have two controller ports (only one for those who aren't aware) and the PC Engine does NOT play CD games (since it needs an add-on to do so).
And BTW ye, the Turbografx-16 is quite ugly and despite its bigger size, still doesn't have RGB output nor two controller ports.
From what I recall the PCE spent the latter half of its lifespan with the add-on built-in, so that part is actually in line with it. And if they hadn't done that, people would while about having no CD games since they were more popular than the HuCard games (it's the opposite situation from the Sega CD, which most people think is a Night Trap machine).
I imagine the two controller ports is so people can actually play two player games without having to resort to purchasing the multitap (glorified USB hub) they also announced. The emulator probably still shows that to the games as a multitap.
This should have been a PC Engine Duo Mini then!
Anyway ye, this highlights one of many problems with the PC Engine, the fact that most of the library was released on CDs due to the base PC Engine hardware being too limited in some ways and also due to Hucards limited storage (and also Hucards production cost). This screwed many consumers back then who couldn't afford the CD add-on and thus missed out on most of the system library. And this is also a bit annoying because early CD systems had various issues, mainly the long loading times but also the way in-game music usually reboots which is not as smooth as cart games.
And of course that the two controller ports is more handy but this is not accurate to the original hardware so this sucks and it's even more stupid since apparently they already planned a multitap.
It had the Turbo Tap.Quote:

There is currently an adapter that will allow RGB from the TG-16.

Happy Console Gamer has put together a video listing games he'd like to see. I think that Galaga 90' needs to be on there.
Yes, it should have been and that was a system that looked great in Japan or the USA. Still its nice that we are getting a PC Eng Mini and some of its better games are coming. Hopefully, SEGA going forward does a Multi Mega Mini and put the Lunar's and Snatcher on there. I wonder if Konami will put Snatcher on here tooQuote:

I'm gonna go with a "No" on that one.Quote:

I want these mini systems but as someone who is now officially broke as fuck i'm just glad I invested in a whole bunch of everdrives, some other consoles that I needed and a framemeister.
