Creative Cat Productions | 10 game additions that will save the TurboGrafx-16 Mini from failure @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2019 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini won’t be released until the late winter of 2020, but Konami has already released the full list of 50+ games.....and it is stunningly bewildering.
Included on the mini console are many classics, but with a very high price tag, the need to purchase expensive accessories, and some very bizarre game choices, we have concluded that the TurboGrafx-Mini might be doomed to failure.
Even after the recent addition of the US version of Splatterhouse, which isn’t the version we need, and a bunch of (decent) Namco games, the final array of games chosen for the console seems.....well.....baffling. Strangest of all is the decision to include Japanese versions of games that are heavily depdent upon reading text, such as Snatcher. What a tease!
With the high cost of owning this one, the niche appeal of the TurboGrafx, and strange decisions, can the fact that M2 is doing the emulation save this thing?
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
It’s too late, probably, to add controller ports, or to translate the entirety of Snatcher, but we think the TurboGrafx-Mini can probably be saved simply by adding some additional games. Yes, the game list tally is already rather high, but a large portion of that game list is filler.....seriously.....Gate Ball? Motoroader? POWERGOLF?!
We think that by adding these 10 games, as appeasement to the retro gaming community......who are OUTRAGED.....of course.....that Konami will be able to establish enough good will to save their mini console and to, perhaps, introduce a whole new generation to the most underrated video game console in the history of video games.
As always, thanks for watching.
