Well, ladies and gentlemen, I caved in and purchased a PC-Engine mini, and boy I am excited. When I first found out the PC-Engine mini was being released, I started to remember a time when I was younger and didn't have responsibilities to worry about. This console [Mainly the Turbografx-16] along with the Sega Genesis was the first consoles I've ever owned for myself. The only 2 games I had the first year was Bonk's Revenge & Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. The PC-Engine Mini comes back in with all of these games.
Taken from Wikipedia:
The only game I have built-in on PC-Engine mini was Salamander (Life Force) but it is included in the Turbografx-16 mini. There are also a few games hidden on this console for you to unlock by inputting a few different commands. One thing I'm glad about playing around with this console for about a few hours is that it reminded me that sometimes it is best to play it in there normal form. The reason why I said that is because the PC-Engine mini quickly reminded me of why I've had my buttons mapped incorrectly on my OG Modded Xbox. Like I forgot that the II button is normal the Attack button like on an NES and the I button is usually the jump button.

Now mind you, I haven't played my TG-16 on a TV in over 20 years and been emulating since '99 and was like. "who the hell can play games like this?" I dunno what my brain was on.
Well, at least it gives me an excuse to go back and play some of my PC-Engine games. I do highly recommend getting your hands on the PC-Engine or Turbografx-16 Mini when you get a chance, whether it's from Amazon Japan or wait till whenever it will be released in the states. It's definitely in my top 3 Mini consoles list and I highly recommended it!
