Konami was set to get in on the mini-console nostalgia trend, but it looks like fans will have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on these throwback systems. The TurboGrafx-16 Mini and the PC Engine Mini, which were slated for release on March 19th, have been delayed indefinitely. The delay comes as a result of the current Coronavirus outbreak in China, which has impacted shipping facilities. The TurboGrafx-16 Mini was first revealed during E3 2019, and was planned to include 24 classic games from the North American and European catalog, and another 26 games originally released in Japan.

I was reading someone's post on this forum saying he bought a Switch Lite prematurely because he feared it would become scarce in stores soon. He's probably right. China is the world's main factory for electronics. Scalpers are gonna love this Coronavirus.

Poor @Psionic Roshambo, he would've loved one ;O;

I also probably would've bought one myself, TBH, since buying an OG TG16 is still super fucking expensive.

I'm actually a bit relieved.. so much gaming hardware on my radar this year. Give my wallet a chance to rest.

Was under the impression that the other titles were split by region, but they're all the same. post edited.

Here is a handy little chart to make it easier for everyone.

I wasn't going to get it anyway. Like seriously why are mini consoles still existing?
Also I feel like the Coronavirus' main reason of existing is to delay everything

we should do a sequel to temper tantrums #32

 

[DANTENDO]

Bloody hel @AmandaRose you kno a lot about this machine what you gonna show us next you wearing a turbografx tshirt lol

 

[DJPlace]

this virus needs to piss off.

 

[kublai]

So why haven't they announced Corona beers being delayed to the Coronavirus?

 

[gamecaptor]

Looks like good old fashion emulation is going to have to keep these games alive!

 

[DANTENDO]

*hugs @Psionic Roshambo as we both start crying*

*whispers to him* i hope you washed your hands.

Never owned this system growing up, the wii u virtual console probably doesn't do a good job showing the good stuff of it either. Plus I hardly hear people talk about it. Seems less popular than Neo Geo in my opinion.

 

[godreborn]

it's a good system, well worth the wait, but kinda sucks that they announce this so close to release.

 

[retrofan_k]

Terraonion SSSD3 + Redump PCE CD and Smokemonster TED16 rom sets for me on real hardware instead.

 

[m_babble]

Goddamn it.

 

[slaphappygamer]

No how are supposed to play these games!?!!!? Ffs.
