Episode Notes:
1.Still up for preorder at places like Amazon Japan and Play Asia.
www.play-asia.com/astro-city-...
2. All games captured via MAME.
3. I really hope this does well. I'd love for Sega to explore this line with different types of games.
4. Sega has been shockingly resistant to featuring its arcade lineup over the years. This marks a new attitude and finally focuses on games that have needed home versions for the last 25 years or more. - เกม
I remember visiting my moms old town where she used to live when she was a child, idk, around 30k people in the south of Bolivia (my home country), there was one arcade there and Alienstorm was my favorite game, still is one of my favorite Arcade games ever. Such nice memories of spending lots of cents of pesos and not being able to finish it haha. Good ol days back in the mid 90s, when I was kid.
Unbelievably awesome! Any 80’s arcade kid will be happy as a pig in mud with those classics(Shinobi, eswat, shadow dancer, space harrier, wonder boy, golden axe, fantasy zone etc…) and to get some previously unobtainable games to play at home till your hearts content is just the proverbial icing on the cake, hope unofficial pads work otherwise price is nearly doubled for controllers.
If I buy one.....Shinobi is what I WANT! Lol I sure wish this unit was portable. A rechargeable battery would have sold me.
The games make sense once you realise this thing is for the Japanese market only. If it was to cater for the west, I would say the games would be different.
I really think any sega arcade compilation should have Hang-On or Super Hang-On, Outrun, or Afterburner. I know we have seen them released a millions times before but they are essentials much like Space Harrier.
Is it WORTH $150?
No
Did I buy it anyway?
Yes
True sega fans
Cringe
What do you mean no? Build quality is amazing And each game comes out to less than $3 if you think about the tech and build quality behind this
I had honestly hoped for more 3D games.
I would have loved some of these games on the Sega Ages, shame it ended.
If Sega released a Super Scaler Mini with all their scaler games I'd buy it in heartbeat. It could have a wheel and gearshift, ahhh man that would be so sweet.
It would be nice, but I doubt it would happen since it would appeal to a limited amount of buyers
And trackball for segasonic the hedgehog
I'm just hoping it's hackable. Love the arcade stick on this. Imagine putting Cadilacs and Dinosaurs or Ninja Baseball Bat Man on dat joint yo
Ninja baseball batman
yo
USB port = t's 10000% hackable
That'd be great
I do think this is definitely worth the price, especially since this whole unit is cheaper than any single Cotton game by itself. It does make me sad that there's so much filler here.
I'm also baffled why these aren't all on some kind of compilation for modern consoles and PC.
@@OriginalMasters I definitely understand that, and I wouldn't mind if it was exclusive for a limited amount of time, I just feel like it's a missed opportunity to bring hard to find games to a wider audience.
Besides, enthusiasts would still be getting a wonderful little unique machine, even if the games where available elsewhere
I hope a Naomi Mini will come next. This way we'll finally have a Dreamcast Mini, sort of.
Want a NAOMI/Dreamcast mini with Gundam:Federation VS Zeon.....Yes, it would be great in the Sega Astro City Mini style....which is to say “portable”....and based on NAOMI and not Dreamcast. Maybe a bit smaller and with an internal power-source? Maybe running on some AA batteries?
I’d buy that day one with no hesitation.
Agree
Can’t be mvc2 cause of Disney licensing, but actually it might work cause castle and world of illusions was on the genesis mini. But outside of that, would like ikaruga, giga wing 2,
I've recently ran acros your channel and videos on the Sega systems. I'm really enjoying your work and this was a great video on a system that I'm going to look into.
1st let me say I'm a SEGA fanboy but my god. Come on SEGA. I was honestly initially so hyped for this when one of the 1st games announced was Virtua Fighter. I thought finally! We're going to see alot more of those late 90s 3D games come home! I was especially hoping we would see Virtua Striker 1 included as it was never released on a home console and was extremely popular in Japan. I would of purchased this for that game alone. Instead we got a bunch of 80s games we've literally seen on 100 other consoles, compilations and plug and plays. To say I'm so disappointed is a massive understatement.
Great video sega lord love the channel keep it up
Love the inclusion of Golden Axe: TRODA, Dark Edge, and Arabian Fight. I wish it had more model 1 games, like Virtua Racing, Star Wars, and Wing War.
Totally agree but i don’t think they can release star wars because of license issues. If they could they should also release moonwalker and spiderman, also great games. Why not Sonic though, the arcade version that uses a trackball. I understand they would have to translate the trackball controls to the arcade stick. Buy they did it with the racing game included, why not sonic? Especially when sonic’s anniversary is coming up.
@@michaelsierra9 Sega has a great relationship with Disney and probably could get the license for Star Wars like they did with the Mickey Mouse games on the Genesis Mini. Licensing fees certainly are something to consider, and I don't know how big Star Wars is in Japan, but if the Astro Mini is a success in Japan and they want to localize it for the United States, then it's definitely worth the cost of doing business with Disney.
Mad Hatter I hope so. If they include star wars hope they also include spiderman and moonwalker since those were also great games.
Great overview! Definitely going to preorder now with all the fixins
Just got mine today. Virtua Fighter and Space Harrier are awesome on it. This is my first time ever playing Virtua Fighter, I like it....The joystick is fine after you break it in....give it a few hours of play....The scan line feature is okay...Overall a good product....
Great work as usual
I actually didn't know you could plug into a TV. That's great. I pre ordered and can't wait
Great video thanks!!
Revenge of Death Adder? Sold!
I didn't even know that Sega owned the Cotton series. Welp, I hope they bring that series back.
cotton reboot is coming out soon
Thanks for the review! Love this.
That is a surprisingly good collection. A lot of classics there.
Golden axe revenge.
I'm getting this.
Had no idea that alien syndrome was arcade.
Great job SLX 🤯
I also think we should congratulate Sega for at least releasing other IPS.
Hey I like Colunms! It's actually one of my favorite puzzle games and Stack Colunms has never gotten a proper home release.
I gotta admit I barely get any news under my rock. Thanks for the update! I wanna get my hands on this one when it releases but $120 is kind of expensive for a mini console.
That Golden Axe sound track was kickass!
Finally an arcade perfect Shinobi and Golden Axe RODA on Sega hardware?? I'm in!!
i can certanly predict, a saturn mini will be well on its way in a few years if all goes well :) . keep up the great work @Sega Lord X
I'm getting it. Good little system to add roms to.
I just love your channel. It made me realize how much fan of Sega I was... even without having owned a single of their consoles 😅
Cotton is a good one for them to include
Glad they included COTTON.
@@johnrowland8354 Too bad Cotton 2 and Cotton Boomerang aren't on it. those would have made it even better so hopefully if they make a second mini those games will be on it.
Love the line up , just wish we got more AM2 games like Sonic the Fighters or Fighting vipers , Fighters Megamix would have been great
VF2 too.
I must have been living under a rock... I've not heard of this.
This thing is getting Golden Ax: Revenge of Death Adder?! Sweet Christmas, that alone makes it worth the price!
@@OriginalMasters Luke Cage(aka Power Man from Marvel Comics) was known to utter this phrase in lieu of expletives very early in his crime fighter for hire career. I borrowed it from him. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
Good stuff!
Played a lot of thunder force on the sega classic, and it kicks my ass everytime lol
First announcement had me hopeful but then it quickly devolved into nothing but puzzle games with subsequent announcements. 3 Columns, seriously Sega? Where the hell is Outrun, Turbo Outrun, Thunder Blade, Afterburner, Power Drift, and Galaxy Force?
Sega can't put Outrun in the Astro City Mini due to Ferrari...
@@RedRanger2001 They couldn't have just stripped all the Ferrari marks?
Sign me up for Outrun 2 with a steering wheel and pedals.
Omg can you imagine
Or try getting an Xbox 360 and Logitech steering wheel and pedals? It should be cheap on eBay nowadays.
Sungket Patel is Outrun2 on the360?
@@clutchkman the official version, Outrun Online Arcade was removed from the store, you can only play it with a Jailbroken 360. You can play the OG Xbox version with backwards compatibility, I guess.
noo noo I play it on my og Xbox, I just wish it worked on Xbox One as well, Two Xbox’s have already died on me.
I've already got one of these pre-ordered, but I might consider getting another. Someone mentioned to me that the minis could be linked (just like the arcade cabs) for head-to-head action which would be much cooler than just playing it on the big screen.
So much Shovelware on this Astro City product, they could've EASILY ditched a load of it an added some STV games (Cotton Boomerang) & Sega Model 3 games (Scud Race) to make it that much more enticing of a product, great video as always dude!
It looks awesome!
Great video! But I swear we are going to get Puyo Puyo and Columns on every single compilation until the end of time
They’re to be expected. As long as the good outweighs the filler, I can deal with em.
I'm with you about OutRunners. At this point, it almost seems like we'd need to create a crowdfund campaign just to beg SEGA to finally bring the arcade version home!
I just hope for an AM2 version soon, I’d buy that immediately.
I knew you would give "My Hero" the same treatment as "J.J. & Jeff".
A. Yeah, I don't get including so many games from the same series
B. Alien Syndrome and Cotton are the two highlights for me
C. wHeRe'S AfTeR bUrNeR II?!?!?!
D. I would probably buy that Astro City themed Stick alone, just for use with FBNeo or MiSTER
E. Sega... please... JUST GIVE US DAYTONA 2 ON HOME SYSTEMS ALREADY!!!!
I'd be down with multiple entries in the same series... just not for damned puzzle games. I don't hate them, but having their sequels and spinoffs is a lot more redundant than, say, going with multiple Shinobi games.
I expected Golden Axe: The Duel, one of the few Sega Arcade games that used six buttons.
I got the English version from Limited Run. I missed out on the controller. I wonder if the Japanese controller will work with the system?
Looking forward to the release. I'm importing for the 4th episode note you give. Hopefully, they'll be encouraged to mine their arcade past in all regions
Disagree with Tant R comment. These puzzle games are hugely fun and addictive and not kids play at all.
"unless you're living under a rock" first ive heard of it lol.
@@VaughnJogVlog This is a product geared toward a very specific category/market, retro gamers and specifically, Japanese retro gamers. It's not meant to compete with modern systems. A lot of us either don't care about modern games at all or have already been doing "next gen gaming" on our PCs. Those of us that do want a Play Box X5 or whatever, are probably financially secure enough to not have to save up for it or have to decide between it and other things. Personally, I'll be getting the Astro City Mini here for my retro collection and a GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for my modern gaming needs.
Tru that. I stopped buying new consoles when DLC became a thing.
@@Prizrak-hv6qk
Yes, I agree. I don't care much at all for new games and I've got a good, 4K PC. PC gaming is overrated. Gran Turismo 7 has me interested in PS5 but who knows when that will be ready. I think these products from Sega look high-quality and it makes sense to support them when they do something right.
I think I was under a rock! :) Nice hardware.
i have a Arcade machine at home with over 1000 games and i love to play some of this games,Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder is one of the best Arcade games ever.
I've been living under a rock.
Amazing lineup.
Would like to have seen dynamite dux on here as well
Some great games in this list; Shinobi, Wonder Boy, Fantasy Zone and Ninja Princess are games that have kept me coming back for over 30 years and never get old. But who wants to play them on a tiny toy cabinet? And vertical games on an already-tiny horizontal screen?
virtua fighter, shadow dancer & thunder force, I am sold :D
I ordered it just for the sweet controller. I got the cab too, but man that controller gets me excited.
Glad I preordered mine. A bit disappointed that Hang-On, After Burner, Outrun, and more 3D games arent included but crossing fingers some genius will find a way to hack it. 2D fighting games will be a beast on this thing.
Yeah they will hack itfor sure. But What about emulation..? :/ Have you seen VF1 emulation..? It's terrible! Every emulator runs it Glitchy/buggy with all characters hair on the floor.. lol.
Can’t see those games you listed working well with a joystick anyway though?
No reason why those games should not have been included on this,
@@10tonhamster they put Rad Moblie on it and thats a super scaler
Galvatron 86 - yes, but I don’t think it’s going to work very well. Honestly, Outrun without a steering wheel just sounds wrong to me. I wouldn’t have bought my Star Wars Arcade1up without the yoke.
Have you ever considered looking at the home computer ports of Sega Games? Especially stuff ported to the Amiga/Atari ST Etc, The Amiga even got a port of Last Battle, no idea who was screaming out for that :S
Larry is blessing you with ideas for content? Your channel had grown from when I first followed you.
Last battle along with Sword of Sodan are the worse games I've ever played
@@michael-zg5fq Indeed...At least we can chop the enemies in a half on Sword of Sodan
@@michael-zg5fq I will say try the Amiga version of Sword of Sodan sometime, EA completely arsed up the Sega port in comparision.
It's still not a brilliant game, but far superior to the port.
In others words, Sega's bane
The Sega Astro City Mini could be an interesting system.
I will keep it on my radar.
Man, glad to see you back. Hope you are all right.
I’m good. Thanks for the kind words.
@@SegaLordX No, thank you for taking the time and effort of putting out the video, especially on these troubled times. We all appreciate your work.
Belleza!
I want this table thanks for this
Id love to see an Atari Arcade like this. Give me something with Xybots, Gauntlet, Klax, APB, Paperboy, 720, Toobin, Roadblasters, STUN Runner, all the Atari/Midway arcade games. I have the midway collections for PS2, but would love to see them in something like the Astro City Mini. Give me the weird stuff like the kinda sequel to Pit Fighter - Guardians of the 'Hood, Eye-Robot, Escape From The Planet of The Robot Monsters, Space Lords. Too bad Atari's properties have been scavenged for over 35 years and have been passed around like a joint at a Grateful Dead show...
@Lassi Kinnunen Between Atari and Midway, its crazy how much has been chopped up, but I think a good hunk of them did goto WB. Im gonna look at the Midway colletion on the PS3/360 and see if WB made that, as Midway was bought out around 2008/9. But I do think that WB did end up with most of Atari Games' stuff
Great list, but I would also add
I-Robot.
@Lassi Kinnunen Midway Arcade Origins was published in 2012 by WB so they must of ended up with most of the IP.
@@psistis80 I have it on there but misspelled as Eye-Robot - which I thought it was spelled that way to get around copyright of Issac Asmov's book/collection of short stories of the same name, but I was wrong. You are correct, its I, Robot. Amazing looking game especially for the time of its release.
Totally getting this due to a few unreleased games listed here. I hope it does well enough to warrant a second version.
Can you link 2 of them like back to back?
I’m guessing that a lot of folks don’t have the same nostalgia for a cabinet that never came out in the west. The Astro City is just as iconic as the red MVS cab over in Japan.
I’m totally sold on it, I think it’s great. I used to have a full sized Astro City but had to give it up for lack of space. This however is perfect, I love that Sega are going more all out with this than they did with the Genesis Mini (at least in Japan)
Great announcement. Money is kind of tight so I will have to sit this one out unless you invite me over for some GA2 RODA. Go Sega
OMG GOLDEN AXE 2 IS ON THIS SYSTEM!? I LOVE It! THE CENTAUR GIRL IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER OF THE ENTIRE SERIES! She was NEVER on the home system!
Who can tell me: what is the right power supply for this machine? A USB cable + 220v wall plug is enough? or you need a 110/220 Volts converter. Thank you
Dear SEGA, PLEASE release this in the US.
what is the best way to buy one and get it from japan?
Thanks for making this, it was really informative! But how the heck did you get Revenge of Death Adder running on MAME for this footage? I remember having so much trouble trying to get that running lmao
RoDA has been running on MAME fairly well for a good 9 years. At lest the PC version of MAME.
Silly question but how do i know which games support 2 players?
Just to let you know, you can use other controller/fighting stick by connect Mayflash MAGIC-NS adapter(updated to V.1.28 or higher firmware and set to "white light"). I use HORI Fighting stick mini 4 now. Mayflash Magic NS with firmware 1.28 or above (latest 1.32), it supports Sega Genesis/MD mini & Sega Astro City mini. After updated firmware to v1.28 or higher, user must switch the mode to "white light" while connecting to a PC, MAC, or LINUX computer. Then, you can connect your "white light" Magic NS to Sega Astro City. Now you can use XBOX One controller(wireless), PS4 controller(wireless), and Nintendo Switch Pro controller(wireless) on your Sega Astro City mini. You can also use HORI fighting stick mini on it
for PS4 wireless pairing. user press "PS + Share" at the same time.
for XBOX wireless pairing, press "X" and it will flash slowly.
Then press the "pairing button" for few sec and wait.
for NS Pro controller, simply press "pairing button" for few sec and wait.
I must have missed the announcement on this one. Sign me up!
Apparently I've been living under a rock 😶
Give me a driving version and a light gun version and I'll be an extremely happy Sega fan
Great idea^^
Would have loved a lightgun mode with Virtua cop, ghost squad, house of dead and other shooters.
That would fly off the shelf
my wishlist was Cotton and we got Cotton. I'm a happy camper
Could've sworn Puyo Puyo Sun would be on this thing, but then again there are no STV games on it, so at least you get the original and Tsuu to play.
The more I see this the more I want it lol...SegaMiniArcade🕹♡
How many commercial breaks do we need? First one at 1 minute in.
Where can I get that Astro 6 button stick.
Looks nice and I'm sure there will be people purchasing two (one full set for collecting and one for using). It is a real pity 4 usb ports weren't utilized (though usb hubs work on laptops and such). One can hope and pray that the 4-player arcades will support 4 players and they will have some sort of device for that. Maybe a model 2 in the works; and yeah, genre specific would be AWESOME!
Nice
Hello. Can i insert more game by usb?
If I can homebrew it, I'd definitely add jojo heritage for the future and street fighter 3rd strike and the alpha series
Maybe. Seems like they stopped at model 2 or 3. Not sure which.
I'm skeptical you could. Jojo and third strike are CPS3 and the alpha games are CPS2. Neither of those arcade boards are used in any games on this device.
@@haydenhyde9395 we need a Dreamcast Mini
@@zylowolf7919 You're preaching the holy gospel my brother!
That's because those are capcom boards. If you hack it, it should be possible
Great review.
Question.
Is the gameplay video yours?
Peace.
It's actually not a bad list. Probably the closest thing we'll ever get to an arcade disc
OPE....just pre-orderd the Arcade 1up with RODA, looks like I'll have to get this too
Loved playing Rad Mobile in the arcades.
Luckily I was able to get a astro mini from Limited Run! Love Sega!!!
Play asia charge for pre-order on day of purchase or when it ships?
Day of purchase.
I completed revenge of death adder for the first time during lockdown. It was bloody awesome 👍🏼
She's a winner for sure. I don't think many people in this comment section have played it.
Will you review the astro city mini V?
Overall a solid lineup, all things considered. Yea, some games could have been left out for others. But I like to get it for Revenge of Death Adder and the other arcade ports that never seen a home release.
Got it 😎
Very good Sega arcade game 🕹️👍😀
