@@thekosmickollector7748 A bunch of DC games have been released on PC (and a lot of the multiplatform stuff has already been out on PC since back then).
There would be a whole lot of licensing issues, I'm afraid. For example, I doubt they could put Crazy Taxi with it's original soundtrack on there. And that would be a real shame!
@YTCensorsMe Poop i feel you man, but i've heard sega is actually planning to make a mini genesis, and even dismissed the infamous at games from the task. i hope they work together with m2, they're the best out there in terms of dealing with oldschool games. btw, mini arcade machines don't click with me, i mean it's cool and all but in the end you're paying a reasonable price for a single game.
The layout for the controllers on the Neo-Geo mini were designed with fighting games in mind. It puts your punches on top and kicks on bottom (from weak to strong) in games like King of Fighters.
Mike Jones. Well I agree the Wii U was a failure but despite that, the Wii U is a great system that it has potential and it’s more powerful than the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii but the only problem that it came at a REALLY WRONG TIME when the PS4 and Xbox One were approaching very quickly with their specs. DON’T EXPLAIN THAT PEOPLE WERE CONFUSED WITH THE SYSTEM NAME. I’M VERY MAD OF THAT EXCUSE OF A WII U FAILURE. GET LEARNING CONSUMERS ! 😡. I WAS BRINGING SACRIFICE FOR THE WII U !
Princeyomi I don’t know. While the N64 does have some legit classics that have stood the test of time the majority of the games from that era have aged poorly. I think the psone mini kinda proves that
Nintendo 64 mini would definitely be cool, and not really problematic to implement. Its reliance on cartridges ensures that the ROM sizes won't demand too much internal storage.
I'm waiting for when I can actually add games, not "replace" them. Since I don't have the right keyboard, I can't get into the emulator settings. As it currently stands, my PS Mini, along with my Nintendo ones, is completely stock, except for a Yōk adapter. At least the (S)NES Minis' adapters can work with the PS Mini.
Finally good Mini Systems video! It's worth noting 512MB limitation of NES Classic is easily bypassed with USB or even nifty SD mod. The NEOGEO X firmware can also be hacked to fix video issues, load more games and emulators, which makes it better than NEOGEO mini IMO.
Does the hack/firmware update fix the screen on the handheld? The screen had a line that went down the screen near the center. I think one side was slightly different in color or something. Was definitely noticable on mine and when I looked online I seen lots of people had the same issue.
The Nes and SNes mini are also compatable with the Wii pro and classic controlers, as well as the wii U gamecube looking controlers. Really usefull if you are going to put playstation or N64 roms on it.
I don’t agree with that assessment. I feel like people don’t take into account supply chain issues when they criticize Nintendo. The “artificial scarcity” thing is based on the idea “why can’t they just make enough for everybody!?!?”, but it never bothers to take into account just how hardware is made. It has to be fabricated in a factory, shipped, warehoused and then sold through stores. There is a literal maximum capacity that the supply chain can accommodate without first stockpiling it. And when companies stockpile merchandise, you get scenarios like Makesco who went out of business because they bet on their UDraw tablet selling, and it didn’t sell. Look, what happened to Sony with their thing. I would bet that they took a huge bath on that initiative.
JazGalaxy agreed. Everything I saw in 2016 said to me that Nintendo only intended to make one production run and the size of that run was decided by how many people preordered. And in the run up to Christmas things went bonkers. Nintendo initially seemed to think of the NES classic mini as a neat little novelty to excite enthusiasts. They know there's a part of their audience that loves to collect cool little nick nacks and I think they were genuinely taken aback by how mainstream the appeal for it is and it took a while for them to do another meaningful production run. I am not privy to all the details about the supply chain for the parts required for it or how producing it affects other items that Nintendo has assembled by Foxcon but I honestly don't think Nintendo creates a situation of artificial scarcity just so that resellers can can make some kwik coin on ebay
One way to know if this is true is to wait for the N64 classic. Its no lie that everyone wants this to happen. So Nintendo should make a large number to cover the hench demand for it right? If it turns out it is limited then I will definitely back up this claim.
The c64 joystick only came with one button that's why the ghost and goblins (and some others games) use "up" for jumping. The others buttons are for using the mini menu and some are mapped for f1 and the space key if I'm not mistaking
I got a super NES classic edition with over 7500 games on it. It has 25 emulators plus over 220 ROM hacks on it. I play it all day. This system I have has 128gb of internal memory on it.

Probably never gonna happen, but I'd love to see a PC engine/TurboGrafx-16 Classic Mini console! Also, I know the C64 is super popular and stuff, but I'd pick an Amiga Classic Mini over the C64 one any day...
The PC Engine was already the size of a 2017 SNES Classic back in 1987. No need to redesign anything, just pull the original moulds out of storage and voila - the world's most attractive console lives again!
I still remember back in 2016 how frustrating it was getting an NES Classic Edition. I don't know why Nintendo shipped so little, what did they expect? But at least we could get it easily by 2018 along with the SNES Mini and it was still worth the wait...
I’ll be picking those up on day one for sure, along with the FM Towns Marty Mini, and the Apple Bandai Pippin Classic. . . Because there is just as much chance of those being produced as a SMS or TG16 “mini” system. Not that I wouldn’t want one if they came out, because SMS and TG16 both rule, but c’mon, it ain’t happening. But hey, we ARE getting the Mega Sg, and that’s gonna be awesome.
I don't think it was mentioned in the video. Regarding the NES & SNES Mini, you can get a pair or 3rd party extension cables for the controllers and they work fine. You only need one set and can just use it between the systems. They are on Amazon for like 10.00 bucks.
You guys are great, I really enjoy your videos. I’m from England and collect retro consoles, I get all my info from you. Great work guys, please keep making cool videos
The disappointment of the PlayStation Classic still stings. That thing should’ve been better than it was, instead of the failed cash grab that it is. I had mine all preordered and paid off when it was announced, but as the truth about the thing came to light, it was an easy cancellation. Too bad. Love the ending, guys. That had to have left a mark! :)
It's like asking for "Gangsta's Paradise" to be the ending theme to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Season 4, but you instead get "Freek'n You" and you didn't like the outcome. Even changing to "Modern Crusaders" later on didn't satisfy you.
If you decide to hack them it’s actually the best of the bunch due to the 16gb onboard memory, faster cpu and the great controllers. Kind of amazing how a few TH-camrs can destroy a product, the initial lineup of games and 100 asking price was not great. As of now my mega drive mini nes and snes mini are collecting dust while I have my ps mini constantly hooked up to my tv for retro games. Ps1 games also didn’t age that well, I understand that people are disappointed when games don’t look as well as we remember.. I regret I didn’t buy more when they were very cheap.
The NES Classic was restocked and now is fairly common on store shelves. I’d grab one soon though because they are out of production. The initial release sold out quickly but they made almost 3 million of them. SNES classic never had stock issues thankfully. The PS Classic can be greatly improved with the 8bitdo adaptor for a DS4 and access the emulator menu.
That would be cool but I think we are about 10 years away from that happening. We can't even buy Gamecube games from a digital storefront yet. Imagine how much memory a Gamecube classic would need as well, think it would still be prohibitively expensive at this point.
N64 mini would be the best, since even now the N64 is difficult to emulate perfectly, and require lots of special cases in the programming of the emulators for each game, meaning outside of the popular hits it can be messed up. Whereas Gamecube emulation is easy and perfect, Dolphin might be the best emulator there is, you can even upgrade the games so they're in HD and so on.
Fun little systems for collectors and casuals, but true retro enthousiasts will be much happier with a Pi 3...it's just so versatile..my favorite piece of tech in the house by a longshot.
I have a small grudge: Dave, Syphon Filter is a great game with a lot of things explained, a lot of elaborate maps and a great experience overall.Why did you not mention it?
15:12 "its more restrictive due to the type of helper chips some games have." WRONG! Well, more misleading actually. The emulator on the SNESClassic supports all the major "helper chips", and specifically with them all the major most popular games using those chips. I was able to get StarOcean working on it for crying out loud! lol It was, and maybe still kind of is, a major misconception and myth spread by excessive modders who are obsessed with putting retroarch and other fan emus on these devices for some reason, that the default emulator (canoe) "barely runs any of the SNES library", and thus those other emus are required. But in reality, through my own and others research and testing there are very very few games that canoe will not run. Basically, it run's about 99.9% of the SNES catalog with either no or minor issues.
I agree with this very much. I have about 185 added games using Hakchi to my SNES folder on mine, and like maybe...5 of them? Actually require SNES9x to run. Canoe does some real work.
I love intro"s and trainers in front of c64 games, because i crack and trained games in the good old C64 days. Greets from a former C64 scener (blow of Slash Design / Entropy 😎 )
19:38 that's because the c-64 had only one usable button, there's no way they could implement jumping with other buttons, even if they added 500 buttons
I know that downtown game from the Fanicom Mini was from High Score Girl on Netflix! Man that anime took me down the nostalgia tour with gaming from the late 80's and 90's.
I would love that, but they have said directly in the comments to me in the past that they don't normally cover Micro Computers, plus the Amiga by far, and away was not as popular here in the US as it was in Europe, so that means a lot less NTSC games, and it was mostly used for more professional applications like video production, and Animation. Most people here in the US went from C64 to IBM/Clone X-86 machines, if they even had an 8-bit micro computer to start with.
@@giulianofrontini223 no im serious, they were £90 for about 2 weeks and they quickly ended up about £45 and now most places are about £29.99....but some supermarkets have reduced them to £9.50 to get rid of them as they've had them for about 4 months
Only own the NES and SNES classic and i'm pretty happy with them, specially the SNES with some pretty hard to get games on them, it's a good way to own with no online needed.
I have the SNES Classic Edition. My brother gave it to me for my birthday 2 years ago and I still played with it and Super Metroid is my favorite game to play on that awesome mini console.
You paid $99 for the PlayStation Classic? Sucker born every minute, they saw you coming. All kidding aside, I was one of the lucky ones that got theirs from Target for $35, well worth it, now that you can mod it so easily.
Still love my SNES classic. Really glad I waited on reviews for playstation mini. When I noticed no Castlevania sotn or other more preferable titles would not be included I backed off. Still curious about the neo geo mini though...
Ps classic goes from zero to hero when you decide to add more games, for and all in one retro game emulator it’s the best choice of anything available imo, I have over 8,000 games and 37 different systems on my ps classic and they all look and play great‼️💯
Yeah that's the only reason it's exciting, because AtGames aren't working on this one. I dunno whether I'll get it though, depends on the games, because I already have the mega drive collection on steam and switch so if its just those games again I might give it a miss. Unless it's hackable and you can out all the games on it. But the guys who made the Analogue NT and Super NT and all that are making a mega drive in their style, where its not emulation but literally the same console just far more ruggedly built. So that looks interesting.
Im not even going to waste my time on a sega minil after experiencing the analogue snes i purchased few months back, i already preordered mega sg from them, that zero lag is a beautiful thing when playing on a lcd screen, its more expensive but worth it in my opinion, these mini consoles still has emulators running them, so laggy controller response times will still be a issue.
Okay Joe, I'm going to have to ask for your shirt...give me, give it to me now! Seriously cool shirts as always guys. I was lucky to get my hands on a Nintendo mini without even looking for it. I lazily went to Wal-Mart at 7:30ish and snagged the last one they had. What was crazy, they had a line that wrapped around the building almost an hour earlier. They only got 10 of them and thought they were sold out. I was walking through the electronics department and noticed it under an end cap (I guess it slid under it). I was not caught by surprise for the Snes and got mine fairly easily. The Snes mini is a fantastic piece of hardware that is such a joy to own. I decided to mod this as it is not rare like the Nes. The only problem I have with the Snes Mini is that it is missing some games it should have. Chrono Trigger anyone, and Turtles in Time are some that should have been included...which is why I modded it. I also bought my fiance her own Snes Classic and I modded hers as well. The Neo Geo mini was a fantastic purchase that I actually had to chase. My issue is, I have not been able to find the damn controllers for it as mine did not cone with any. I love that little machine and think it is really well built. I disagree with Joe on the controller, I like it quite a bit. The button layout is really annoying on the machine. Finally, I stupidly purchased the PSX mini and what a piece of shit. I only own 4K screens and this thing looks bad in 4K...I mean atrocious. I payed...$100 for it...yuck. You mention not being able to plug it into anything and not working...interesting. I have a theory about the PSX mini that most of them are faulty. I got mine and brought it home, the pucture was so bad on Ridge Racer that I could not tell where the track ended and the wall began. I wound up taking it back for an exchange and when I got it home I immediately hooked it up. It was better...I mean it still looked bad but it did look much better. I went from not being able to place in the top 5 in a race on Ridge Racer (I lost badly) to actually beating the game again. I usually use my PSPRO or my Xbox One X (that makes me laugh a little) to charge it with no problems at all. I have also used my Snes/Nes Mini plug to run the PSX Classic as well. The C64 mini...no thank you. I had a Commodore 128 slightly before my Sega Master System and NES. I put it down rather quickly after getting my 8-bit consoles in 1986/1987.
Same here. I have fond memories of all 3 games listed in the "Who has fond memories of Toshinden, GTA, Rainbow Six?" quote, but I didn't play any of them on the PS1 at the time. I played Toshinden on Saturn first then later PC, and the other 2 games on PC. I understand the inclusion of Toshinden, but the original GTA and Rainbow Six have so many ports to so many different platfforms that it seems like an odd choice for a PSX mini system.
AC/BD on NeoGeo Mini is made with the fighting games in mind; and it is *significantly good* for that. It's my favorite of the mini systems too; in that it's the only one that doesn't need a TV attached to play it.
I don't think there will be a PS2 classic. PS2 emulation needs a pretty beefy PC to begin with and on Android it also needs the highest end chips just to play somewhat well. Doubt Sony will bother with making custom hardware that can run PS2 games given they couldn't be bothered to make proper software for the PS1 Classic which bassically any low end ARM SoC from the past 5 years can run the PS1 emulator flawlessly.
I wish Nvidia would release a new Sheild that used the Tegra X2 or a newer chipset. The Shield TV can nearly handle ps2 perfectly and just a bit more juice would do the trick.
@@jesuszamora6949 I think that is a bit much. I do believe tech and software will improve and we will have ps2 run perfectly on mobile soc. I doubt Sony will invest into a capable soc though since they will be fairly expensive. I mean I guess the snapdragon 855 can probably emulate gamecube perfectly but it's expensive as hell.
sonicblast19 i have a one year old laptop I bought for work with a 1070 and i7. It runs ps2 in 1080-4k at 59-60fps. Completely agreed, ps2 needs lots of power
Yes Dave, I do have fond memories and find myself coming back to the PS1 version of Rainbow Six from time to time. Once you learn the controls and how to play it properly, it's a great game. The PC original is obviously the complete package, but the Playstation version is an enjoyable experience. Same for Battle Arena Toshinden, but the Remix version for the Saturn, as it was one of the first 3D fighters I played against my brother and while the gameplay was lacking even then, we found ourselves having a blast with the clunky animation, voiceovers and specially the ring outs. This is also true for games like Mortal Kombat 4, WWF: Wretlemania - The Arcade Game, NHL 97 and so on.
I went a bit overboard. I own an NES Classic (both a model 1 and and a model 2, each with a second controller), a Euro NES Classic with second controller, a Famicom Classic with branded adapter, an SNES Classic, a Euro SNES Classic, a Super Famicom Classic with branded adapter, and a PlayStation Classic. All new in box except the Euros SNES Classic, which is hacked with the entire NES, SNES, Famicom, Super Famicom, Atari 2600, 7800, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, NeoGeo libraries, along with some arcade and N64 titles, and others I’m probably forgetting (thanks to my good friend for that!). Then I have a spare model 1 and model 2 NES Classic with a few extra controllers as well.
When the Neo Geo mini was announced, it piqued my long-buried desire for a Neo Geo. I pre-ordered it. The reviews were a punch to the gut, but I was going to accept it. Then, when I learned the button placement was altered, for no reason, I canceled my order and started saving my money for an Omega CMVS.
The button placement is actually more convenient for most of the fighting games, which Neo Geo is really heavy on. It's still a really flawed product, though, sadly.
@@howdyouknow Maybe I'd have to try it to see if it works well, but I'm really only into a small selection of the fighting games. I guess I would rather go with what I'm familiar with.
I would love to see a dreamcast classic. It needs the love it never got.
I'd prefer a Dreamcast collection for modern consoles - in my opinion that'd be a better way to bring those games to new audiences
@@thekosmickollector7748 A bunch of DC games have been released on PC (and a lot of the multiplatform stuff has already been out on PC since back then).

I want Sega to release the GREEEeeenDOOOOoog Classic!

I hope that SEGA sells the version with digitized graphics that uses the gyroscope of your cell phone, that would be great.

Not that big of problem mind you, but I've found many games through your show and this idea might help myself and others in the future.
Great suggestion.
If you were watching on a SNES Classic you could use the rewind feature!
I usually do rewind, but sometimes even rewinding I miss the name of the game they're showing. This happened during the PS2 episode when I was looking for games for the consoles.
Thank you! It just seems like it would be helpful for those who find new games through their show!
Happens all the time. I become interested in the game after I see the footage. Showing me the name before the game forces to me to rewind it.
Isn't it crazy when you realize you've been watching the sack for like over 5 years?
I love you Dave and Joe
Probably never gonna happen, but I'd love to see a PC engine/TurboGrafx-16 Classic Mini console!
Also, I know the C64 is super popular and stuff, but I'd pick an Amiga Classic Mini over the C64 one any day...
The PC Engine was already the size of a 2017 SNES Classic back in 1987. No need to redesign anything, just pull the original moulds out of storage and voila - the world's most attractive console lives again!
Would also buy a Turbo Mini so hard!!
PC-Engine Mini was announced by Konami at E3 2019. Dreams come true my friend.
You need to check out BitHead1000’s channel. You can thank me later.
I still remember back in 2016 how frustrating it was getting an NES Classic Edition. I don't know why Nintendo shipped so little, what did they expect? But at least we could get it easily by 2018 along with the SNES Mini and it was still worth the wait...
Were you able to get a second controller for your NES?
I ended up with I think four NES Classics (two model ones and two model twos) and about six extra controllers.
@@tetrisdave Actually, the SNES Mini controllers are compatible with the NES Mini. Because the wiring is longer I use them instead...
Alright, Hot Sack and a Game Pocket!
Made me so happy you used the Double Dragon II arrange album during the NES Classic breakdown!
Still waiting for the Sega Master system mini and Turbo grafx 16 mini.
Absolutely! The Turbo Grafx 16 mini would be the one I´d buy in an instant.
I’ll be picking those up on day one for sure, along with the FM Towns Marty Mini, and the Apple Bandai Pippin Classic. . . Because there is just as much chance of those being produced as a SMS or TG16 “mini” system. Not that I wouldn’t want one if they came out, because SMS and TG16 both rule, but c’mon, it ain’t happening.
But hey, we ARE getting the Mega Sg, and that’s gonna be awesome.
Great, should they keep it to scale then the controller cord would be what.....5 inches?
Aw man if that tg16 was any decent it would sell like crazy.
Never gonna happen
I don't think it was mentioned in the video. Regarding the NES & SNES Mini, you can get a pair or 3rd party extension cables for the controllers and they work fine. You only need one set and can just use it between the systems. They are on Amazon for like 10.00 bucks.
I really like to see a Original Xbox Classic Mini which does needs to happen.
You guys are great, I really enjoy your videos. I’m from England and collect retro consoles, I get all my info from you.
Great work guys, please keep making cool videos
The disappointment of the PlayStation Classic still stings. That thing should’ve been better than it was, instead of the failed cash grab that it is. I had mine all preordered and paid off when it was announced, but as the truth about the thing came to light, it was an easy cancellation. Too bad.
Love the ending, guys. That had to have left a mark! :)
MegaDrive Mini 💖! Saturn Mini💖! DREAMCAST MINI💖! Please SEGAAAAAA!
It's like asking for "Gangsta's Paradise" to be the ending theme to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Season 4, but you instead get "Freek'n You" and you didn't like the outcome. Even changing to "Modern Crusaders" later on didn't satisfy you.
If you decide to hack them it’s actually the best of the bunch due to the 16gb onboard memory, faster cpu and the great controllers. Kind of amazing how a few TH-camrs can destroy a product, the initial lineup of games and 100 asking price was not great. As of now my mega drive mini nes and snes mini are collecting dust while I have my ps mini constantly hooked up to my tv for retro games. Ps1 games also didn’t age that well, I understand that people are disappointed when games don’t look as well as we remember.. I regret I didn’t buy more when they were very cheap.
That cardboard mock-up GameBoy mini looks awesome, good job with that.
This vid kicked me right in the game sack!
wear a cup next time, duh!
The NES Classic was restocked and now is fairly common on store shelves. I’d grab one soon though because they are out of production. The initial release sold out quickly but they made almost 3 million of them.
SNES classic never had stock issues thankfully.
The PS Classic can be greatly improved with the 8bitdo adaptor for a DS4 and access the emulator menu.
Anyone here wants to see a GameCube mini ?😄👌
Gamecube mini with a gameboy player built in
Rather have a mini TG16
That would be cool but I think we are about 10 years away from that happening. We can't even buy Gamecube games from a digital storefront yet. Imagine how much memory a Gamecube classic would need as well, think it would still be prohibitively expensive at this point.
Definitely not. GameCube games on the switch however...
N64 mini would be the best, since even now the N64 is difficult to emulate perfectly, and require lots of special cases in the programming of the emulators for each game, meaning outside of the popular hits it can be messed up. Whereas Gamecube emulation is easy and perfect, Dolphin might be the best emulator there is, you can even upgrade the games so they're in HD and so on.
LOVE that you guys tackled this subject. Too popular to ignore!
Fun little systems for collectors and casuals, but true retro enthousiasts will be much happier with a Pi 3...it's just so versatile..my favorite piece of tech in the house by a longshot.
Nostalgia won't make me buy a bunch of plastic, but it's fun to remember the originals.
Sorry, but Tecmo Super Bowl is the greatest sports title ever released on the NES - in fact, it's the best sports game ever made.
Today at about 2am I was trying to fall asleep when, suddenly, a wild Game Sack video pop out in my notifications. And you know the rest of the story.
I am holding out for a CD-I mini.
Lol gonna be holding out for the rest of your life to play that bootleg Zelda
Does it come with a mini paint bucket?
You guys are the best and I'm always excited to see a new video! Thanks for another great one!
At least the NES mini is easy to find now! Same with the SNES mini!
Some retailers have raised the price on the SNES Classic though to over $100.
Snes mini is not on shelves anymore. You can pay a premium on ebay for one though :(
@YTCensorsMe Poop if they are 80 a pop id buy as many as you can...
@YTCensorsMe Poop it really doesnt matter, those snes classics are long gone off those shelves bud.
These outro skits are the funniest gaming content on TH-cam.
They should do a ds Classic mini for the rising gen z population, like me and a gba classic
Couldn't have come at a better time. Going through a sleepless period and looking for some distraction. Thanks! Really enjoy you guys.
I have a small grudge: Dave, Syphon Filter is a great game with a lot of things explained, a lot of elaborate maps and a great experience overall.Why did you not mention it?
They show like 4 seconds of gameplay footage. What more do you want?!
You two have the BEST REVIEWS even telling me the chipset and graphics processor and all the technical jargon!!
15:12 "its more restrictive due to the type of helper chips some games have." WRONG! Well, more misleading actually.
The emulator on the SNESClassic supports all the major "helper chips", and specifically with them all the major most popular games using those chips. I was able to get StarOcean working on it for crying out loud! lol
It was, and maybe still kind of is, a major misconception and myth spread by excessive modders who are obsessed with putting retroarch and other fan emus on these devices for some reason, that the default emulator (canoe) "barely runs any of the SNES library", and thus those other emus are required. But in reality, through my own and others research and testing there are very very few games that canoe will not run. Basically, it run's about 99.9% of the SNES catalog with either no or minor issues.
I always try the default emulator for both the NES and SNES Minis before changing to another emulator option.
I agree with this very much. I have about 185 added games using Hakchi to my SNES folder on mine, and like maybe...5 of them? Actually require SNES9x to run.
Canoe does some real work.
I love intro"s and trainers in front of c64 games, because i crack and trained games in the good old C64 days. Greets from a former C64 scener (blow of Slash Design / Entropy 😎 )
In all honesty, to be completely honest, in the merit of honor, you guys make every other Friday great. Not gonna lie....
Fridays are our favorite holiday.
For real though
@@GameSack you guys make Saturday nights great also!
The captions are great. "Music that makes you want to shoot aliens". Well played guys.
19:38 that's because the c-64 had only one usable button, there's no way they could implement jumping with other buttons, even if they added 500 buttons
I know that downtown game from the Fanicom Mini was from High Score Girl on Netflix! Man that anime took me down the nostalgia tour with gaming from the late 80's and 90's.
Episode ideas: Amiga 500plus and 1200. And another episode on the C64
I would love that, but they have said directly in the comments to me in the past that they don't normally cover Micro Computers, plus the Amiga by far, and away was not as popular here in the US as it was in Europe, so that means a lot less NTSC games, and it was mostly used for more professional applications like video production, and Animation. Most people here in the US went from C64 to IBM/Clone X-86 machines, if they even had an 8-bit micro computer to start with.
Another great episode. Thank you! Oh, and the Woodman theme at the end, awesome!
Sweet new Game Sack.
They are neat and all that, but with how good the pi emulators are and the fact that it can run so many, these things are just a novelty.
the ps1 classic in the UK are down to £9.50 in some stores because no one was buying their stock
Really or joke?
In Italy now It costs 49€
(It starts from 100)
Over here in Estonia you get a copy of fallout 76 with a ps mini
Wal-Mart is still charging full price with tons in stock!😂
@@giulianofrontini223 no im serious, they were £90 for about 2 weeks and they quickly ended up about £45 and now most places are about £29.99....but some supermarkets have reduced them to £9.50 to get rid of them as they've had them for about 4 months
I'd have one for £9.50 . I've never seen them that cheap
Only own the NES and SNES classic and i'm pretty happy with them, specially the SNES with some pretty hard to get games on them, it's a good way to own with no online needed.
I want a PC Engine mini, with Hu Card, CD and Super Cd games
It finally exist.
I have the SNES Classic Edition. My brother gave it to me for my birthday 2 years ago and I still played with it and Super Metroid is my favorite game to play on that awesome mini console.
You paid $99 for the PlayStation Classic? Sucker born every minute, they saw you coming. All kidding aside, I was one of the lucky ones that got theirs from Target for $35, well worth it, now that you can mod it so easily.
Yes you can even use a DS4 now if you buy the 8bit Do adapter
Capt. Speirs wow! Congrats! If you had a job, you wouldn't give two shits
Still love my SNES classic. Really glad I waited on reviews for playstation mini. When I noticed no Castlevania sotn or other more preferable titles would not be included I backed off. Still curious about the neo geo mini though...
I'm gonna drop a major poo now before I leave for the city when I play my mini next time!
Respect for playing the RR4 song for the PlayStation segment 👍
Still a really fun game to this day.
Ps classic goes from zero to hero when you decide to add more games, for and all in one retro game emulator it’s the best choice of anything available imo, I have over 8,000 games and 37 different systems on my ps classic and they all look and play great‼️💯
The C64 rom hack intros are some of the best music. Hell I have a USB drive of just the music to those hacks.
It seems Nintendo are the only ones who can do Minis right.
That said, I can't wait for the Mega Drive Mini!
Isn't AtGames still working on this one though?
@@gluttonousmaximus9048 No Sega cut ties with AtGames before the Mega Drive Mini was in production.
Yeah that's the only reason it's exciting, because AtGames aren't working on this one. I dunno whether I'll get it though, depends on the games, because I already have the mega drive collection on steam and switch so if its just those games again I might give it a miss. Unless it's hackable and you can out all the games on it. But the guys who made the Analogue NT and Super NT and all that are making a mega drive in their style, where its not emulation but literally the same console just far more ruggedly built. So that looks interesting.
@Mike Jones Um, no? Nintendo intended the NES/SNES to be a short-term products. They're just doing it right.
Im not even going to waste my time on a sega minil after experiencing the analogue snes i purchased few months back, i already preordered mega sg from them, that zero lag is a beautiful thing when playing on a lcd screen, its more expensive but worth it in my opinion, these mini consoles still has emulators running them, so laggy controller response times will still be a issue.
Okay Joe, I'm going to have to ask for your shirt...give me, give it to me now! Seriously cool shirts as always guys. I was lucky to get my hands on a Nintendo mini without even looking for it. I lazily went to Wal-Mart at 7:30ish and snagged the last one they had. What was crazy, they had a line that wrapped around the building almost an hour earlier. They only got 10 of them and thought they were sold out. I was walking through the electronics department and noticed it under an end cap (I guess it slid under it).
I was not caught by surprise for the Snes and got mine fairly easily. The Snes mini is a fantastic piece of hardware that is such a joy to own. I decided to mod this as it is not rare like the Nes. The only problem I have with the Snes Mini is that it is missing some games it should have. Chrono Trigger anyone, and Turtles in Time are some that should have been included...which is why I modded it. I also bought my fiance her own Snes Classic and I modded hers as well.
The Neo Geo mini was a fantastic purchase that I actually had to chase. My issue is, I have not been able to find the damn controllers for it as mine did not cone with any. I love that little machine and think it is really well built. I disagree with Joe on the controller, I like it quite a bit. The button layout is really annoying on the machine.
Finally, I stupidly purchased the PSX mini and what a piece of shit. I only own 4K screens and this thing looks bad in 4K...I mean atrocious. I payed...$100 for it...yuck. You mention not being able to plug it into anything and not working...interesting. I have a theory about the PSX mini that most of them are faulty. I got mine and brought it home, the pucture was so bad on Ridge Racer that I could not tell where the track ended and the wall began. I wound up taking it back for an exchange and when I got it home I immediately hooked it up. It was better...I mean it still looked bad but it did look much better. I went from not being able to place in the top 5 in a race on Ridge Racer (I lost badly) to actually beating the game again. I usually use my PSPRO or my Xbox One X (that makes me laugh a little) to charge it with no problems at all. I have also used my Snes/Nes Mini plug to run the PSX Classic as well.
The C64 mini...no thank you. I had a Commodore 128 slightly before my Sega Master System and NES. I put it down rather quickly after getting my 8-bit consoles in 1986/1987.
Rainbow Six is a pretty good game but I can't imagine playing it on the Playstation.
Same here. I have fond memories of all 3 games listed in the "Who has fond memories of Toshinden, GTA, Rainbow Six?" quote, but I didn't play any of them on the PS1 at the time. I played Toshinden on Saturn first then later PC, and the other 2 games on PC. I understand the inclusion of Toshinden, but the original GTA and Rainbow Six have so many ports to so many different platfforms that it seems like an odd choice for a PSX mini system.
I love my snes classic plus all the games I've added, its great now lol
You leave town to poo too? I thought I was unique for not deucing in my own house.
If you pause the game to use the bathroom remember to bring a lighter
AC/BD on NeoGeo Mini is made with the fighting games in mind; and it is *significantly good* for that. It's my favorite of the mini systems too; in that it's the only one that doesn't need a TV attached to play it.
I don't think there will be a PS2 classic. PS2 emulation needs a pretty beefy PC to begin with and on Android it also needs the highest end chips just to play somewhat well. Doubt Sony will bother with making custom hardware that can run PS2 games given they couldn't be bothered to make proper software for the PS1 Classic which bassically any low end ARM SoC from the past 5 years can run the PS1 emulator flawlessly.
I wish Nvidia would release a new Sheild that used the Tegra X2 or a newer chipset. The Shield TV can nearly handle ps2 perfectly and just a bit more juice would do the trick.
@@TheLastLineLive given the lack of support by Nvidia I doubt they even care that much for the platform now.
Wouldn't say never. Tech continues to advance. Maybe another 15 to 20 years?
@@jesuszamora6949 I think that is a bit much. I do believe tech and software will improve and we will have ps2 run perfectly on mobile soc. I doubt Sony will invest into a capable soc though since they will be fairly expensive. I mean I guess the snapdragon 855 can probably emulate gamecube perfectly but it's expensive as hell.
sonicblast19 i have a one year old laptop I bought for work with a 1070 and i7. It runs ps2 in 1080-4k at 59-60fps. Completely agreed, ps2 needs lots of power
Yes Dave, I do have fond memories and find myself coming back to the PS1 version of Rainbow Six from time to time. Once you learn the controls and how to play it properly, it's a great game. The PC original is obviously the complete package, but the Playstation version is an enjoyable experience.
Same for Battle Arena Toshinden, but the Remix version for the Saturn, as it was one of the first 3D fighters I played against my brother and while the gameplay was lacking even then, we found ourselves having a blast with the clunky animation, voiceovers and specially the ring outs. This is also true for games like Mortal Kombat 4, WWF: Wretlemania - The Arcade Game, NHL 97 and so on.

Well played.
I went a bit overboard. I own an NES Classic (both a model 1 and and a model 2, each with a second controller), a Euro NES Classic with second controller, a Famicom Classic with branded adapter, an SNES Classic, a Euro SNES Classic, a Super Famicom Classic with branded adapter, and a PlayStation Classic. All new in box except the Euros SNES Classic, which is hacked with the entire NES, SNES, Famicom, Super Famicom, Atari 2600, 7800, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, NeoGeo libraries, along with some arcade and N64 titles, and others I’m probably forgetting (thanks to my good friend for that!). Then I have a spare model 1 and model 2 NES Classic with a few extra controllers as well.
Bonuh!

When the Neo Geo mini was announced, it piqued my long-buried desire for a Neo Geo. I pre-ordered it. The reviews were a punch to the gut, but I was going to accept it. Then, when I learned the button placement was altered, for no reason, I canceled my order and started saving my money for an Omega CMVS.
The button placement is actually more convenient for most of the fighting games, which Neo Geo is really heavy on. It's still a really flawed product, though, sadly.
@@howdyouknow Maybe I'd have to try it to see if it works well, but I'm really only into a small selection of the fighting games. I guess I would rather go with what I'm familiar with.
17:53 That’s a rare $100 Sega Saturn USB controller.
