Man the Genesis mini 2 still isn't even hacked. Not that I could find anyways. It's sad because I feel like it's one of the strongest minis.
I wouldn't mind a saturn and paying a bit more.
The genesis Mini goes for $215 now 🦅🎮 e bay
Santas wishlist🎄:
1 saturn mini,,
2 dreamcast mini,,
3 Master system mini,,
Mednafen - Best Saturn Emulator
I’m a complete mini console junkie. I’ll get whatever comes next. A Sega Master System mini would be most welcome in my house!
The SMS ROMS are so tiny sitting at a mere few kilobytes. (128/256/512K). No excuse from Sega not to make a Master System mini.
Me too!!! I would love more mini consoles
Same!
I would be happy with having the Master System library as an unlockable bonus on a Dreamcast Mini. Master System games will run on anything, and the entire MS and Game Gear library is far smaller than 1 Dreamcast game. We don't need separate hardware for that.
But I would be up for a new mini Game Gear handheld that has MS and GG games on it.
No, that is a lame console rather get a Dreamcast classic edition
I love all the minis. The amount of space they take up compared to original hardware is very convenient.
I’m still holding out hope for a GameCube Mini. I just think it would look so cool! A tiny cube with amazing games and that badass controler
Tech isn't there yet unless you are using a mini pc for emulation
Nintendo 64 mini is more likely than gamecube mini since emulation have tried on wii and switched ARM cpu
Saturn is one of my favorite consoles, I knew it would be hard for them to emulate it in a mini because of dual graphics processors. Enjoyed as always Ron. Thanks for the video
Nvidia Shield runs Saturn well. These minis that are well under 2GHz struggle with it. Amiga 500 mini may be able to do Saturn alright.
@@TexasHollowEarth I have Retroarch on my Xbox Series S, and it runs all my Saturn games pretty well. A few hiccups here and there, but overall Saturn Emulation has come a long way.
It will come eventually, the parts just need to get a lot cheaper for them to consider it. The storage and processing capabilities for the emulation is huge compared to the 16 bit era.
I agree mate but they also have to overcome the whole problem with over half the games Japan only at the time and would be limited on choices. Even if it comes they cant put much on it. Even a Sega CD mini will have that problem
I definitely wanted a Master System mini! It was the 1st system given to me by my mom in '86.
Didn’t know what to expect with with TGFX16 mini since it was totally new to me. It is one of my top 2 favorites now too. Hoping for Dreamcast & N64 mini.
I definitely wonder how much of the original designs Sega has kept around from the Saturn. When you've got a guy in Ukraine reverse-engineering all of the chips on the system by himself and making such massive progress on an FPGA Saturn in such a short time, it's hard not to wonder what the company that designed the product could dig up and put a small team on to create something.
I just LOVE these classic mini consoles, I bought all of them from the NES era forward (was very lucky to get the TG-16 mini before its price shot to the moon). I would really like a Saturn mini, but if it is too hard to pull off right now, I get it. I would also dig a Dreamcast Mini if they can do it. And if Nintendo ever wakes up and releases an N64 mini or a Gamecube mini I would want that too.
i got the tg16 mini pre order as soon as it was on amazon. was still expensive, wasnt $100 like the MSRP was supposed to be! higher than that! but i got one and glad i did, it's excellent. the quaility of the menus and everything is better, i think, than the NES and SNES minis. now people want like 400 bucks for a tg16 mini lol insane.
I still need a Turbo mini, but I’m not paying the moon for one.
Cost of the hardware is a non-issue. They could easily pull off Saturn on one of these boards these days. The hurdle is the R&D costs. Getting Saturn to run on these processors and then tweaking per game is more than the Execs want to pay for what they likely see as a shrinking market. And Dreamcast (though considerably easier to emulate) would require a creative controller solution. No one would want to ship it with those big ass controllers or boost hardware costs for the VMU screen integration. I hope that I'm wrong but, the only way I see these reaching the light of day is if a less risk adverse management comes along; and that's less likely when it's a publicly traded company like Sega-Sammy (that merger really was the death of the company I loved)
I was hoping they would start producing more turbo grafx minis. I wasn't able to get one originally and the prices for them now are almost as expensive as buying the original console.
@@donaldduck73 is the pc engine mini in English?
💥 💯 ✊
Just get the PC engine mini. It’s still affordable, somewhat…
That was the main reason that I never bought one. They produced too few of them and they were released through too few stores. I was interested in the sega mini, but I wasn't OK buying it from Amazon and the other options were all scalpers.
The one thing I don't understand about the mini consoles, especially the Turbo is why these companies made the release so limited. I mean they went through the trouble of designing them, I would think they would at minimum re-release them annually during the holidays.
It's more about the market than production. The companies may understand that a portion of the world will be interested in them and keep production to a minimum. That's my theory.
It could also be the chip shortage that hindered it as well.
@@nubatman I see your point but at the same time if you see the prices of the Turbo, it's obvious Konami should be making more. With Nintendo releasing their Super Mario Movie, I mean what better time to have SNES and NES Classics on the shelves? They already did the hard part developing them.
Sega could certainly do a Master System's mini right now. Load it with 50 games
Man! SNES mini with hackchi was my introduction into emulation. Then the wii, pi4, and now onto an hp mini pc. Dreamcast mini would be so simple to make and produce
I love the mini systems. Wish i could get my hands on more of them for a decent price
The mini consoles got me back into gaming so I hope Sega or Nintendo continue but I don't think either are planning anything anytime soon. I'll continue to hope.
Yeah with the switch. Nintendo just dumping it all on there. Sega sold the model 2 only in Japan so It sucks to say may be over. I wish the Turbo Graphics 16 model was available. Felt like like it was out for a day then prices jumped to like 300 dollars. I went on vacation last week. At first I packed the DS, Vita, Gameboy, Switch etc....then was like WTF am i doing. I took Mario game & watch and gameboy for Tetris and was fine for the boring moments. Lol I wish Nintendo even did the NES and SNES mini 2s. Don't have to be N64 just more games for the old one
Nintendo only released the NES and SNES classic because the Wii U was a bomb and they needed something to cover their asses until the Switch released and see if the Switch was a success. Once the Switch became successful there was no need for gimmick/novelty member berry consoles since they can just release old games on their new system that is selling gangbusters.
@@mr.awesome6011 Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head as far as Nintendo and their motivation goes. Still I'll hope. I was hoping Nintendo would do a home console only version of the Switch (similar but opposite of the Switch Lite) and I might consider using that as a way to access other classic Nintendo games but it seems like Nintendo doesn't at all care about gamers like me. And as you say, why would they? The Switch is still a big seller.
@@mr.awesome6011I can rent classic games on switch but not buy them, from what I understand 😢
I would still love to get a dreamcast mini and a master system mini.
I would also like a Saturn mini. I don’t have much exposure to that console so that would be cool to have. But dreamcast would be my number 1 want.
I have a nes mini and snes mini and loved it because it brings back the memories and the controllers feel great and responsive. Got a genesis mini a few years back. Even though some of the games were great, the character control were jerky due to lag or something.
Hopefully Sega fix the controllers moving forward with their other mini consoles. I would be very interested in a Saturn mini and Dreamcast mini just for having in my collection. I agree with you that functionality-wise it would be hard for the minis to beat a Raspberry Pi or SOC boards.
I have all the official mini consoles and I agree with you 100% on the SNES, The TG16 and the hacked ps classic. I hope they end up making the ps2/ Saturn/GC era minis, but not sure if it will ever happen either. It is cool to play the games on replica hardware, and they are fun to collect and always go up in value. I'll be buying any more official minis that release.
Dreamcast is the way to go. Its library is just very special - great games.
These mini consoles are absolute gems. By and large, they perform well and showcase brilliantly in their cute form factor. Hell, I’d preorder a Sega 32X Mini.
You could have bought one already, technically
I like to think that the Dreamcast and Saturn are too hard to put into a mini RIGHT NOW... but those little computer boards are getting more powerful as the years go by, and just like most technology, I believe they'll get more popular and more affordable. We'll eventually reach a point where we WILL have Dreamcast and Saturn minis sitting right beside the PS2 and Xbox mini. "I want to believe"
7 years? Man time flies. Covid made things speed up 3 years just disappeared
As much I love the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast, they are very, very niche consoles that never lived up to the hopes & dreams that Sega had when they were relevant. Which is a real shame. A lot of forgotten treasures on those consoles by Sega , Capcom & other Japanese companies on those systems especially for all the fun arcade ports.
...Saturn, yes. Dreamcast, no. The Dreamcast launch was a BIG deal in America. I was at the launch.... the hype was real in 1999. Soul Calibur on Dreamcast was groundbreaking for 3D fighters! Also, It'd be easier to make a DC mini than a Saturn mini due to DC being easier to emulate than Saturn 👍
@@TexasHollowEarth Yes, indirectly, the Dreamcast is ultimately the console that killed Sega's hardware sales. Saturn might have done OK, but Sega burned bridges with too many retailers by failing to deliver the promised consoles on launch when they pushed things up.
@TexasHollowEarth The launch of Dreamcast was fantastic but after that I feel it started going down hill. While there were plenty of fantastic games that released for it over the systems life, I think there was a long dry spell for a lot of people. If you loved arcade games you were in for a real treat but outside of that, the DC was mostly getting enhanced PS1 & N64 games. Not saying these games were bad but when the PS2 launched it seemed like the DC was still not getting a lot of third party support.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade The Saturn sold terribly here in North America. In perspective Japan sold more Saturn's than the north American market & European market combined. Dreamcast sold incredibly well in North America for a console that was only in the market for 1 ½ years but Sega just didn't have the money or resources to just keep supporting it. There was multiple factors, the failure of Saturn, system add ons for the Genesis like the 32X, fall of arcades in North America, Japanese economy going into a recession and just to be frank just being out competed. There was a ton of reasons. The Dreamcast was a fantastic console being supported by the wrong company at the wrong time.
With that being said the DC is up there with one of my most favorite consoles of all time. With fantastic first party titles like Skies of Arcadia and an amazing like up of arcade ports there's plenty of love I have for the it and that doesn't even account for all the homebrew games people made over the years for it. 😄
@@ringfitmaster3079 They did not get a lot of 3rd party support, at least not what they had accumulated during the 16 bit and 32 bit generation.
Electronic Arts pulled their Sega support, they wanted to be the exclusive provider of sports content on the Dreamcast, but Stolar had just purchased Visual Concepts to lead up Sega's Sports entries, so that was a no go.
Many developers were burned by the Saturn's early departure from the U.S. market, causing them to abandon projects in the works or shift them to other platforms. Many left Sega for good and never came back.
It did get key support from Capcom from the get go, it also got games from Activision, Bally/Midway, Williams, Infrogrames, Tecmo, SNK and Namco among others. While it was on the market, it did have plenty of games in all genres: Sports, Fighting games, Shooters, platformers, Rpgs, Racing games, Arena shooters, extreme sports, survival horror, arcade ports...
I think the 16 bit era was great for mini consoles - large library of great games that hold up well, the early 3d focused consoles most games have aged poorly.
A Sega Saturn mini should be possible but what they need to do it take a page out of the Egret 2 Mini and have the Saturn be expandable to get more games through some kind of cartridge medium!
In my opinion, there’s a lot of opportunities to build on the angle still. There are tons of systems like Sega, master system, Game Boy, game gear, n64 Atari jaguar, etc. personally, I think it’s a good get an interesting job by releasing a version 2 of the mini with more eclectic games. Over enough time, opportunities to add more, recent generations will be more practical… provided that the main means of making this offering won’t be another subscription service
My SNES classic has the SD Card mod with 32GB. I have the 8bitdo wireless adapters and use my Wii U pro controllers on it. It can handle TG-16 and TG-CD just fine. CD games fit thanks to using CHD format. It's got everything else that is two, four or one button which includes all the handhelds before the DS.
I was all for the mini console craze, thankfully had a gamestop manager friend to hold the NES and SNES classics for me, waited til the PS classic went on sale then pre-ordered the Genesis mini; Loved how easily hackable they are to where we can play all our favorite games on one device while holding an original controller for the experience, perfect for minimal people like me! I'm ok with them not making any more minis though, let it be a fad and game on :)
That's what I did.
I'd be interested in a Dreamcast mini. I pretty much gave up on buying more games for it once they all started shooting up in price but I at least got the handful that I wanted. For the mini consoles, I always bought two of each. One for me and one for my kids.
I definitely understand the appeal of mini consoles for someone looking for a quick way to get into retro gaming. The trade-off in quality for convenience to emulate can be worth it. I think once you have multiple of these different minis sitting around, you’re losing the convenience. Either emulate everything from one device or get something higher quality like the original system or a clone system if you have the space and money for buying all of these mini consoles.
A Saturn mini would be great but I am still waiting for a master system mini.
I feel like a big issue with putting out a Dreamcast mini would be the controller. The sheer bulk of it would add to production cost and SKU size.
.... no VMUs in the mini version, duh.
The dream cast controller alone would be the same size of the mini console.
@@TexasHollowEarth The controller shape is still huge without the VMU?
Why do you think the PS Classic didn't use Dualshock controllers?
And if the controller released is a different shape and size than the original, that takes away a lot of the novelty. Mini consoles are pretty much entirely novelty so that wouldn't be great. The Dreamcast didn't have a smaller controller variant like the PS1 did.
I am a big fan of the mini’s. So much so that when I first got into it with NES and the SNES, I bought all my kids one of each ranging in age at the time from 13 to 43, 4 kids. Of course I bought myself one of each. 2 of the kids didn’t want them and they are still in the store bags in a plastic container in my basement. Didn’t do that again. But I also have all of the others and by far and away, the Turbo Grafx/pc engine are my favorite with the SNES running 2nd, then NES, then Genesis 1, then 2, then Astro City, then Taito, then PlayStation mini. I got most of my reviews from you before buying the later ones.
I missed out on the Saturn and the Dreamcast. If a mini of any of those came out, I would most likely get one especially if there was a Dreamcast and they would put the Crazy Taxi games along with the Shenmue games as well so I could experience like it would have been back in the day.
You know the guys who do the S-Tribute series of games on the Switch??? Sega should just hire them, and give them the money and resources necessary to do a 20-30 Game compilation. Simple as that.
And while we’re at it, have Sega translate Princess Crown, Wachenroder, and the remaining 2 Shining Force 3 scenarios, and throw them on there as well. I’d easily pay $60-$70 to play those 4 games in English.
I'm on hold for a Master System mini, the only Sega console I have nostalgia towards. I do have the mega mini's. Beyond that, I'll still collect but not hyped for any models.
Only selling MD II mini on Amazon, have got to take a lot of wind out of the sales. It meant it wasn't even for sale locally here in Denmark, and many (judged by a FB group) missed out
Colecovision, Gamecube and og X-box mini please!!! Make everything mini!!!
I want both Saturn and Dreamcast minis.
I hope they change their mind.
you know id like to see more dos games released in mini form like they did with oregon trail
id be really hyped for a dos doom mini console or even a plug play type thing
The Megadrive Mini 2 (pal) is probably my favourite mini up until now; play it all the time. The Nes, SNES, MD1, coregrafx and Amiga mini are all very cool too but MD2 mini rules. Would get a Saturn mini for sure!
A Dreamcast mini seems like the next logical step. It’ll be cheaper for them to make, it would sell more than a Saturn mini, and has a bigger library of games to choose from, it’s a no-brainer really.
I disagree. The Saturn would make more sense for them, considering that it is their best selling console in Japan.
Saturn has way more games too.
Yup
Dreamcast big controller may cause an issue too
Saturn would sell loads
Sega should do a proper Game Gear mini and a Master System mini.
The mini consoles get your most relaxed, most casual players playing these games again, in some cases back into gaming.
Oh man, I was looking forward to this. Hope Sega follows through on this..
I'd like to see a Sega Saturn Mini. It's to bad it has to be such a "difficult" system to emulate. I'd settle (for lack of a better word) for a Sega Master System Mini. That Console never gets the credit it deserves.
How can the craze be over when they sold out fairly fast? I didn't even managed to get a Turbografix mini! If Sega releases a Saturn or Dreamcast mini it will sell out equally fast. Or what about a GameBoy mini? No the mini craze is not over among fans but companies have stopped doing them. And now them Chinese, of course, are doing cheap minis clones and people are buying them. Come on Nintendo, Sega and Sony keep releasing the minis! Good topic and cool video Ron!👉😃👈
The dreamcast controller is bulky and the form factor of the Saturns gamepad is much more packageable. This may sound ridiculous but the Saturn mini makes more sense from a size comparison.
I really like the mini consoles and have most of them. I’m actually still play them frequently.
❤ would love a sega sat or dc mini hopefully one day
It was over for me when the scalpers got the NES, SNES and mega drive mini 2 before I got a look in!
I want to see more software compilations like the "Mega Drive and Genesis Classics" collection. I want one released for Master System and Sega CD/32X games, then later Saturn and Dreamcast. I prefer everything centralized to play on PC.
Sega will release a Blast City mini before they release a Saturn or DC mini, if they ever do.
I feel the same as you on this, I think. I am a sucker for these things!
I'd love to have mini versions of Saturn, Dreamcast, N64 and GameCube. Though, I don't really see Nintendo making any more since they don't need to pad out their coffers like they did after the WiiU.
But, yeah, SNES mini and the Turbo mini's are my absolute favorite of the bunch!
I wish they would re-release the TG16 minis! That's basically the only one I'm missing☹️
A Saturn mini would be cool!
Thanks.
I usually emulate, but I liked the "Mini Systems" as a little keepsake. I wouldn't mind getting more up to probably the 6th Generation, but once they go over that $79 price point, I'm not as big of a fan. I did pick up the Genesis Mini 2, as it was produced in such small numbers and I didn't want to be kicking myself later, and the Turbo Graffix, but that PS Classic I didn't touch til it hit $29
I would love a Sega Saturn mini that comes with a sinden light gun and a Saturn controller so we can play some light gun games as well as regular controller based games.
Please Sega, make a Master System Mini! Easy and cheap to do as hardware doesnt need to be powerful, heaps of games to choose from, theres no good reason to ignore it that i can think of
The SNES Classic is so good I had two, a USA one and an European one, because I love the colored buttons on the controllers.
The Sega Saturn Mini would be on the same league as the PS1 if they don't put enough money on the emulation and licenced games.
And Saturn emulation was always bad, you cannot get a good emulator working on such limited/cheap hardware, yet.
I would understand that they can not do a Saturn or N64 mini right now. But I hope the time will come soon. Until then there is so many ideas left: Master system mini, CD/32x mini, 2600 mini, Jaguar mini... Or a handheld mini DMG Gameboy. And I read something a while ago that retrogames ltd is working on a ZX spectrum mini. I would probably buy all of these...
I'd just like more classic compilations at this point over mini consoles.
I recently got the Playstation Classic and Megadrive MIni 2 and this relit my interest in retro gaming. I can play genuine games on genuine consoles with genuine controllers, it's far more interesting to me than playing an app or retro emulator chinese plug and play stick. I hope we see a PS2 mini one day
at least I am done with mini consoles, now I just want to get a mini pc, I am waiting for prices to go down for RDNA3 mini pc.
While I have a ton of the original systems and games, I love the mini consoles. They are just enough of the retro feel that takes me back to my childhood that I don't need to go and dig out the actual system and deal with that hassle. To date I believe I have them all, and are one of my favorite collections. Could I emulate them elsewhere, yes, and often times better. I still prefer the mini's as they are a real heritage to the companies I grew up with. Hoping for many more.
Yep sega of japan confirmed Tom was right when he said the saturn architecture was too difficult to develop for.
I love the mini consoles too, its a chance to play games we couldn't when they were originally released. Thats why id love to see a saturn, missed soo much in that generation specially cause my EB stores would only have like one game per title for the saturn and the whole miniature version by the original manufacturer is just awesome for us older gamers
I'd love a Saturn mini because I never got to play one (I'd be curious for the 32x mini too for the same reason. I would LOVE a Dreamcast mini because I loved that console and it had such good games! Would also go for an N64 mini. Keep making 'em!
@@ryecatcher25 Only one!
Have they still never released the hack for the TurboGrafx mini?
I would love one day a “Sega Dreamcast” mini but also a “PS2”Mini in HD.I don’t expect it 🔜 Will see.Keep my original PS2 with my games for now.Never had a Sega Dreamcast tho.
Tbh, I want Xbox original mini. It’s nice to see other competitor getting display in mini console on the shelf & play their exclusive games..
It's a certain nostalgia that came with the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Playstation why I feel those sold so well. I don't believe that feeling is there en mass for anything other than a PS2 mini to work, and I think a lot of ppl still own their ps2. It just gets harder as the systems get more complex.
@1:23 we all had that friend lmao.Sega should go to Polymega for the emulation like they did with M2 since they seem to be the only ones that perfected it
Do we have sales numbers on the Sega genesis 1 and 2 and mega drive 1 and 2 in Japan. And UK
Id like a mini of either but personally I'd expect clones to come out before minis but thats just me. However I've been thinking about buying a Dreamcast at a Con since I discovered that there are Dreamcast games still being made. VGNY is one of them
I think there needs to be a company that just makes ALL classic console shells for single board computers that emulate that system well (2600, Master System, TG16, etc) so we can make our own. I know there's Retroflag, but they only do certain systems. Just give me good build quality- like Retroflag, but more selection. Then- I'd be happy.
I wish SEGA can figure it out, I would really enjoy to have a Sega Saturn mini that I can take while traveling.
Man I'd like a n64 mini and ngc mini so much
I think the mini console craze is very much over right now, we may get some more mini consoles in the future (when tech becomes more advance and such) but I feel like general interest isn't as high as it was when the nes classic released.
I'd like to see a dreamcast mini. Since the dreamcast library has limited appeal to me; they'd have to do a bang up job with it like the TurboGraphix mini; otherwise I'll just stick to emulation on the PI or the occasional hookup up of my dreamcast to play the handful of physical games I have for it.
I think it would be a great idea for the new guys to Saturn, me I have no use for it I have a collection of 300+ Saturn games and the original hardware
Never really thought these "minis" would make it past the 2D era. I assume 3D capable consoles requires more hardware and complicated emulation to make it work in mini form, which would be less profitable in a $100 price point. Saturn Tribute games (or S-Tribute) are probably the best answer for those with nostalgia or missed out the first time.
Game cube or master system would be sick.
The minis are great to travel with!
You can run a great Saturn or Dreamcast Emulator from any S905x2 TV Box with Emuelec. Get a bunch of tv boxes swap over the shell add in a Saturn Controller. Profit.
Now I’m sad…I literally just saw the “promote the Saturn/Dreamcast Mini”-esque video RGT 85 made and then TH-cam recommended me this…
It’s like they were purposely ready to crush my hopes and dreams…
Still today it's hard to emulate Panzer Dragoon Saga on a PC/Steamdeck, so I get it
I just want a way to play skies of arcadia legends again
Still waiting on a mini Master System, something that is fully doable.
Nooooooooo! A Sega Saturn or Dreamcast mini would have been truly amazing. There are so many classics on both those systems.
Not quite the same thing, but I guess I'll just have to be content with one of those cheap unofficial Chinese retro handheld/TV console hybrids for now. 😕
I'll probably get laughed at, but I think there's a hurdle for the Dreamcast mini. Microsoft still owns the rights to Windows CE. It's impossible to tell if Microsoft would agree to the manufacturing of a Dreamcast mini considering a majority of games were built on that SDK.
I have a saturn mini and dreamcast mini already..its called an nvidia shield 2017 with yaba sanshiro and redream🎉
... my nyggah 😎👍
Compilation Collections are a better option for Saturn especially!!
I thought people were getting pretty good Saturn emulation on the Odroid XU4 boards a few(4-5) years back. Today's SBCs and emulation software has got to be doing it better.
One of latest of these boards (Odroid N2) cost us between $80-150 USD depending on how much RAM is has.
Someone buying these in bulk for of a Saturn mini run could probably get a decent priced product.
Neptune mini with Arcade games Sega 32X, CD, 32XCD, and Sega Genesis games.
Disney games have a unique chance of being made available at a good price this year.
I think Sega will make either a Master System Mini and/or a third Mega Drive Mini with 32x games next.
Much as I’d buy further mini consoles, I think there’s not enough interest now for any company to produce any more - sadly.
If Nintendo put out a mini console people would definitely buy them up. They’re not going to because of Switch Online and Expansion Pak. I’m not sure SEGA or Sony have the confidence to try again since they sat on shelves. Stores gave first Genesis mini a little discount over time. Best Buy was basically giving the PlayStation classic away at $20 and they still sat.
That being said I hope we do get more mini consoles in the future.
Yeah I agree. I dont think Nintendo sees a reason to do them due to Switch Online Subscriptions, but if they did more they pretty much are guaranteed sellers. Other companies had too much of these kind of products sitting on shelves, overproduced with not enough demand. I think the first Genesis Mini probably sold decently, they just made too many. The TurboGrafx16 was probably under produced though 😂 because they were cautious.
@@Madlittlepixel "The TurboGrafx16 was probably under produced" has got to be the biggest understatement in mini console history.😆
It's a shame it was over so fast, would have loved a N64 one.
Neo Geo mini with 30 titles. That was amazing
I want a GameGear Micro with GameGear Space Harrier, Galaga 91, Super Space Invaders, if there has to be a fourth game, maybe G-Loc Air Battle, Master System Galaxy Force would be an ideal fourth game…..I am willing to pay 80$-100$ CAD before shipping for this product…..It would naturally be from Amazon Japan, I bought the Black GameGear Micro with Outrun, I want more re-releases like this.
