Announced back during E3, the TurboGrafx-16 (or PC Engine) is making a comeback in miniature form.

A month after these news, Konami has now unveiled the release date and the full lineup of the games that will come packed in the TurboGrafx-16 mini.

​

While the models will vary according to the region you are found in (CoreGrafx for European gamers, PC Engine in Japan and TurboGrafx for US buyers), the games will be the same in all three versions, with 24 games from the original American console version and 26 from the Japanese one.

I wonder how successful this would be. To me this is the least popular console but that's cause I never had played one.

 

[Aphromite]

Yeah I don't think I get it. But I only played bonk I think, maybe on the Amiga. Which, to be fair, was a fairly enjoyable game. Oh and salamander on the NES, which was wicked but I was awful at it. Can anyone enlighten us on the gems?

 

[Harsky]

Surprised they're not doing a Christmas release but I guess this is too niche to produce millions and then risk having it discounted to clear stock a month later.

 

[spotanjo3]

Grew up with it and it was fail and not successful. I will just skip it. Dont care about those games on the list. However, loved Europe version rather than ugly America version.

 

[wartutor]

Some great games here Neutopia 1 and 2 both jump right out along with new adventure island, bonks revenge and a few other no need to name them all but half of them could of been left out and wouldnt hurt anything. I also cant help but think theres a few missing from that lineup that really should be there splatterhouse for one and wasnt there 3 bonk games total. I may be overlooking some though as this list gives me a headache to look at maybe my ocd but alphebetical order would make it alot easier lmao. Heres to hoping it can be opened up so we can inject our personal list of games onto it like the others

 

[Mushkin]

I will buy them all, my favorite console of all time

I hope Konami invested a lot of money into this, because I'm not going to buy it.

 

[lexluth0r]

I’ll buy one I have all the other minis

 

[Vorde]

I might buy one, but I'll likely just save up and buy a real PC Engine and games

 

[HarveyHouston]

What's this; all the other console manufacturers are making minis now? I mean, I know that SEGA already had a mini Genesis as early as 2009 (it was actually developed by AtGames; an official miniaturized version will be released in September), but it wasn't until Nintendo came out with their NES and SNES Classics (called "Mini" in the U.K.) that every console manufacturer has started to produce minis of their own! Sony Playstation Mini, Commodore 64 Mini, NEO GEO Mini... Will it ever end?

wasn't the pc engine really small to begin with?

I never even heard of it until I was an adult, and that was at the beginning of the 360/ps3 era soo...

But I really enjoy the games I've played on it. Seems like it had fewer shovelware titles. I have it running on my wii, and my switch and could easily put it on my desktop if I wanted to.

If this one is as easily hackable as the SNES and PS1 minis then I may get myself one and put all the games on it, and do the same for a few more for ebay.

Honestly, as cheap as flash memory is, and as small as the library is on this, they should include the entire library. But I guess publishing rights limits that.

 

[XDel]

I would be excited, but they really should remove redundant duplicates for each region, and translate those games that have already been translated officially or unofficially elsewhere. The fact that they are not doing this makes me think that this may be a lazy effort and the quality may not be there on the hardware end either. Will see.

 

[Sakitoshi]

No magical chase = worthless

 

[cvskid]

Looks like both systems don't have The Legendary Axe part 1 or part 2 on them.

 

[raxadian]

Are any of these games any good?

 

[DaFixer]

Are any of these games any good?

Any good?
This is the best on on the system:


And there many good games:

 

[kumikochan]

Still play mine till do this day alot. Have an everdrive hooked up 2 mine and it truly has one of the best retro games on it

 

[raxadian]

So it seems most of the cool games... were ports of Neo Geo Arcade games.

Didn't Neo Geo have it's own consoles?

No wonder I never heard of the TurboGrafx-16 before.
