I would love pac-land to be on this mini but that's probably a dream, or even air zonk...the bonk games...
I love Air Zonk, one of my all time favourite shooters, just so much character and humour. I still play it regularly on my PCE.
Chances are, like all of the “mini” consoles I buy, this one will never leave its box. But I’d like to see this game included for those who will use it and who perhaps have not had the chance to play it before.
Mind you, how mini is this thing? My PCE is tiny as it is
wonder if they’ll do an original design one for the Japanese market? I much prefer that shape, which is why i have one.

Yeah, both it and this console's version of Ys 1 and 2 (I guess? Though, to be fair, there have been FAR too many versions of those two games!) are like the only standout reasons to get a Turbografx-16/PC Engine. Otherwise, what you have are ports of arcade games that, honestly, in this day and age of arcade emulators being so easy to setup, really makes one wonder the point of those ports in this day and age outside of nostalgia for those who may have had the rare experience of growing up with these systems while Sega and Nintendo duked it out.
There’s lots of great original games on the PCE, I still play mine a lot. You could probably say the same for any system, emulation wise - why bother with the machine?
For me though, there’s nothing quite like playing on the original systems. It’s like, why buy vinyl when there’s so many streaming services. There’s certain nuances that are rarely reproduced outside of the good old originals.
Of course I’m old and I’ve had the advantage of 40 years worth of owning systems, I’m not saying everyone should rush off and invest in the original platforms. But if you can and you have an interest in it, then definitely, yeah.
