Shmup Junkie | PC Engine - TurboGrafx 16 Mini & Games Review -Best Mini Ever? @ShmupJunkie | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 34 minutes ago.
Is the PC Engine Mini the best mini console so far? Get the inside scoop from a lifelong TurboGrafx geek as I pull no punches in this definitive review of the PC Engine, TurboGrafx 16 and CoreGrafx mini systems. Did Konami do right by the fans? Did M2 knock one out of the park with their emulation, easter eggs, and special arcade modes? How about the reported input lag or the missing games?

Any review of the PC Engine must begin with this simple fact... it was the all-time greatest console for Shooters (shmups, shootemups, whatever you like to call them). Lords of Thunder, Gradius, R-Type, Blazing Lazers, Soldier Blade, Nexzr... a mind blowing 120 plus shooters graced this system.

So join me in Smoking the Shooter Crackpipe as we talk about the PC Engine... what made it cool and the top choice for the hardcore Shmup crowd and competitive gaming during the 16bit era.
