Its been a long long time up Pc#
Having played a lot of my PC Engine Duo R over the past couple years, I had a great time not worrying about swapping system cards and discs in between games. It may not be as good of a pad as the original, but it's still perfectly capable. Thankfully, the TG-16 Mini's controller has a much longer cable than the original pad, measuring in at about 9.5 feet long, so it's a lot easier to relax on the couch while playing. The texture around the outside of the pad is also not as pronounced, and the D-pad feels a little stiffer than what I'm used to-of course, I've never actually held a brand-new TG-16 controller, so it may loosen up after prolonged use.
The TG-16 Mini's controller is noticeably lighter, making it feel a little cheap. There are a couple of notable differences with the included controller, though if you haven't held an original TG-16 pad in a while, you likely won't notice them.

If you want an extra controller, you'll need to buy Hori's $25 TG-16 Mini controller, as no other controllers are compatible, and if you want to play a full game of Bomberman '94 with all five players, that means you'll be spending an extra $100 on controllers and an additional $30 on the TG-16 multitap. While the original console only had one controller slot, requiring you to buy a multitap if you wanted to play any multiplayer games, the TG-16 Mini has upgraded to two USB inputs for the mini console's controllers. The TurboGrafx-16 Mini includes games from the PC Engine library as well. These are, of course, things that don't affect the quality of the device, but the attention to detail makes for a fun homage. The Mini features the same removable backplate that covers the AC adapter and HDMI cable as well as that little plastic piece that slides out when turning the console on and holds HuCard cartridges in place. Pulling it out of the box, you'll notice the TurboGrafx-16 Mini is a faithful homage to the original console, though in a smaller form factor. There are also CoreGrafx and PC Engine versions of the TG-16 Mini, but those are exclusive to Europe and Japan respectively. It comes with 57 games from both the TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine libraries, 32 of which are in Japanese-though most of them are still playable for English speakers, as the libraries largely consist of shooters, platformers, and other games where the language barrier doesn't impede the experience. It brings together some of the best games from both the TG-16 and PC Engine libraries and packs them into one convenient device that does right by the console's mixed past.įor $100 USD, you get the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, a USB TurboGrafx-16 controller, an HDMI cable, and a microUSB cable to power the mini console-no USB outlet adapter is included.
Unlike Nintendo and Sega's classic titles, these games have rarely been re-released over the years, and so the TurboGrafx-16 Mini does something very special. The original PC Engine was a beloved console in Japan with a huge library of great games, but when the console released as the TurboGrafx-16 in North America, the vast majority of those games never made their way over. Of all the mini consoles released so far, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini is perhaps the most exciting.
