Sega Astro City Mini

[subcon959]

The build quality in general is way better than the Neo Geo mini, however they didn't go with a 4:3 screen so there's a lot of wasted space within the bezel.

The lag is minimal so that's good, but I did notice some shimmer in (only) a couple games. Menu system is kinda crap but does the job.

The game list is mostly exciting because of Revenge of Death Adder, but there are a few other goodies..

• Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
• Alien Storm
• Alien Syndrome
• Altered Beast
• Arabian Fight
• Bonanza Bros.
• Columns
• Columns II
• Cotton
• Crack Down
• Cyber Police ESWAT
• Dark Edge
• Dottori Kun (Dot Race)
• Fantasy Zone
• Flicky
• Gain Ground
• Golden Axe
• Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder
• My Hero
• Puyo Puyo
• Puyo Puyo 2
• Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R
• Puzzle & Action: Tant-R
• Rad Mobile
• Quartet 2
• Scramble Spirits
• Sega Ninja
• Shadow Dancer
• Shinobi
• Sonic Boom
• Space Harrier
• Stack Columns
• Thunder Force AC
• Virtua Fighter
• Wonder Boy
• Wonder Boy in Monster Land
• Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair

Did you see the stand and little stool accessory for it? It's a total rip off and should've been included in the price but looks amazing.

Damn I hope this chair is stable enough for my fat ass

I'll do it if I can find it easily enough.

The currently announced game list is only exciting because of Revenge of Death Adder

Well, at least it's not the nth re-re-re-re-re-re-release of Mega Drive games, finally some Sega arcade game.

I'm also excited for some other games like: Crack Down, ESWAT, Shadow Dancer, Alien Storm and Wonder Boy, I wish there also was Dynamite Dux.

I would like to see Strider and Turbo OutRun too.

Well, Strider is Capcom and Turbo Out Run would be hardly playable with a digital joystick (remember that it would be the original game, not a console conversion).

Although I agree about a re-release of Turbo Out Run in some form, it's becoming a forgotten game (like Daytona 2).

 

[subcon959]

Oops, always forget about Strider I played it to death on Megadrive.

I really wanted to see some love for Turbo Outrun though.

 

[subcon959]

They could've definitely added some form of Out Run to this as the digital stick is pretty good.. and they chose to include Rad Mobile.

My "style kit" arrived and I have to say, this is now a seriously awesome mini system..

 

[subcon959]

A nice little benefit of getting the stand is you can easily mount a powerbank to the back to make it fully portable..

 

[subcon959]

I decided to put the little marquee on and it looks pretty cool.. I wonder if there's a way to get it to light up.

 

[subcon959]

I think you could rig some 5V leds to be powered up by one of the USB ports on the back.
