posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Console releases in N. America, Europe, Japan worldwide simultaneously
Konami announced the lineup on Friday of its TurboGrafx-16 mini, a compact console pre-loaded with games from the catalog of NEC's original TurboGrafx-16 console. The console will launch in North America on March 19, 2020, and is available exclusively on Amazon.
The lineup includes 24 games in English and 26 games in Japanese (games in Japanese feature a * next to the title, and some games will be available in both Japanese and English):
The TurboGrafx-16 mini will offer Quick Save for saving at any point in a game, various display modes including 4:3 aspect ratio and emulation of CRT scanlines, and up to five simultaneous players via a separately-sold Multi Tap. The console will include one controller with Turbo controls, a USB cable, an HDMI cable, and an instruction manual.
Konami has also revealed the lineups for the European version of the console (under the title "PC Engine CoreGrafx mini") and the Japanese version of the console (under the title "PC Engine mini"). The European version of the console features the same lineup as the American version. The Japanese version will not have Salamander and will instead feature Tokimeki Memorial.
The Japanese and European versions will also launch on March 19, 2020. The Japanese version will cost 10,500 yen (about US$97). Each version of the console will have a different physical console look.
The original PC Engine console launched in Japan in 1987, and then debuted in the United States in 1989. The console eventually spawned several variants including portable versions and versions equipped with CD-ROM drives.
