Following the delay due to COVID-19, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini has found a new release date, at least in the United States. Those that pre-ordered the throwback console on Amazon can expect theirs to ship soon, and arrive on May 22nd. Initially, the system was supposed to release on March 19th worldwide, but it only managed to launch in Japan, with European shipments delayed indefinitely. The official Twitter account from Konami states that they're keeping an eye on a situation, and for those in Europe to hang in there as they try to get a new release date set in stone.

Man, I'm stoked to finally play Snatcher in a language I don't understand.

Never owned this system. Still think I won't.

Skip the Mini and just buy a PC-Engine. It had tons of amazing games. I still get a lot of joy playing mine to this day.

I’m just out of my bed, so that’s just what came to mind. It’s by no means the best 10, though some are pretty good, some are awesome. And it’s just a drop in the pond of what’s available for PC Engine.

I also deliberately left out any RPG’s, as I can’t remember all the ones which have officially, or unofficially, been given an English conversion. Though if you happen to speak Japanese, then you’re in for a lot of fun.

We need a PS2 Minii

The holy grail of mobile emulation (for me).

It's by far the most tempting of all the mini's so far... but even if I didn't have the full romset playable on any device that can run the appropriate emu's, the vc library I have on my vWii puts all of the combined 'minis' to shame.

To be honest, I really only buy them for collections sake. I’ve got 5 “Minis” so far and none have even been out of their boxes.

I’ve got all of the original systems, so I play them, but I just can’t help myself from buying gubbins for my collection, it’s an illness. Well, that’s going to be my excuse

yeah... I don't own a PC-E/TG16, which is probably why it's the most tempting one so far - especially given how I'm a massive shmup fan and it's the console of it's generation in that regard.
Guess I'll just keep wishing for that inheritance so I can get a Duo at some point along with a selection of some holy grails.
