Dre801 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I had no intention of buying all the mini/classic systems, but so far I have. Def getting the Genesis mini and possibly this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I went ahead and preordered it. Not sure I'll keep it, $100 is a lot, but I can always change my mind later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Great lineup, but you have got to be kidding me at that price. Maybe Konami wants the TG16 mini to sell as poorly as the actual TG16 did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Konami isn’t going to list it on amazon.ca and no way i’m paying over $120 usd after tax and shipping to me. I can buy an actual tg16 for that price. -.- On the flip side, I see all 3 models are on amazon.jp, I’ll keep tabs on those instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ooo more games added. Still holding off but I think I will cave closer to release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I really don't know which version to get. I have narrowed it down to PC Engine or the Core model. I don't think I want the TG16 because I don't have that model I have a TurboDuo, TurboExpress and PC Engine. I want a Core someday and a SuperGrafx. The games are all the same so tough choice. What model are you looking at picking up for those that plan to pick one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I canceled my pre-order. It's just too much money for what it is and I don't have enough love for the system. I'll probably grab one when it's on sale later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 You think this is going to be around long enough to go on sale? I agree $100 is the high and I would rather pay less. I kind of agree to wait after it is released. However which version would you get either way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm still so mixed on these. After the ps1 & genesis I really don't feel like I have much space to keep these around when I won't really play them much atm (yeah my fault for buying multiple versions). I have some affinity for the TG16 since I remember seeing them in stores all the time and got to play one at my brother's friend. Yet I love the CoreGrafx that I still own. I kind of feel if I do ever get one I probably will lean towards the TG16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxick Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 TG16 Mini has been delayed until further notice due to the coronavirus. No details were given as to when its release will now be. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/03/coronavirus-delays-tg-16-mini-launch-are-ps5-and-xbox-series-x-next/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I want one but not sure I really have the space for this to sit around (also mentally still holding out that a n64 mini console will be made). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's kind of funny that the emulation is done by M2 (same who did the genesis mini) but for this one they went with a UI that straight up copies/mimics nintendo's classics line.

chakoo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It seems the pc-engine model shipped in japan over the weekend to people. Reviews are quite glowing (i'd still personally wait out for the TG16 or CoreGrapx models). His follow up where he is a bit more positive and covers the shimmer issue more (and kind of goes on a rant for most of the video). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I haven't been sold on any of these Minis just because I'd never want to play one on a modern TV, but I'm always intrigued by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have to say. The reviews on this system are changing my mind a bit. I might consider picking one up when the TG16/Core Gfx units launch later this year. There also seems to be a lot of hidden content in the system (secret games and versions). (Sorry I know the review is in french but I like his breakdown and comparisons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 MLIG post a review, haven't had a chance to fully check it out but it should go in depth pretty well (as they normally do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It seems Amazon JP has been shipping out TG16 units already (and before an embargo was up for US reviewers, lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjomesphat Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I hate knowing that once this releases, the price will easily drop in a few months, but I have to have it anyway. Been pre-ordered for awhile, just waiting for when they start shipping in the US. I played a few TG-16 games on the Wii VC back in the day, but I've never held an actual controller, and the library is still largely unknown to me.

I gave up on the N64 mini. With how difficult it is to emulate, especially on a Raspberry Pi, and the challenge for Nintendo to re-manufacture those crazy controllers, I doubt it will ever happen. With that said, I'm just making my own N64 "mini". I've been on the waiting list for the UltraHDMI for probably 6 months now, and the next production run seems to have finally gone into production. I'm using my original N64 that I still have from when I was a kid, and I'll get the Everdrive to be able to load any N64 roms that I want.

Rodimus Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I pulled the trigger on this the other day when it seemed clear that these where getting any wider release. So I ordered the European model. I hear the us version has different games but I don’t care. I wanted the core model because I didn’t have that real version. I have a PC engine real one and the Japanese model controllers don’t have turbo switches. The us mini is not mini at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to eventually grab one but it's just kind of low on my buying priority atm (eyeing the mini sega arcade this xmas and possibly a Mega SG).

Littleronin Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I just sit and look at that thing and wonder why they just didn't add a full size hu card port and make it a full emulation machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is easy cost. This is just an arm CPU in a raspberry like board playing Roms. You know your idea is good but no one would use it. Especially Konami. I don't expect it till sometime after September 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an emulation box out there that accepts his cards. You can import it from Japan name escapes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
