Six titles have been announced so far for North America/Europe:
R-Type
Ys Book I & II
New Adventure Island
Ninja Spirit
Alien Crush
Dungeon Explorer
The Japanese version, meanwhile, has an almost entirely different set of games:
Bonk’s Adventure
Dracula X
The Kung Fu/China Warrior
Ys I & II
Super Star Soldier
Dungeon Explorer
Y'all motherfuckers better put Drac X on the US version. :maf
Also Dracula X on the JP list but not US list is a crime.
I think I'd want the PCE version. TG-16 is so ugly in comparison, lol.My favorite thing about the TG-16 is that if you just look at the two, you'd think the TG-16 is just half empty plastic because of how small the PCE is.
I don't get why people are excited for these limited emulator boxes that only contain a select few roms from a single system.
Either get the real thing or just use an emulator. For instance, you can emulate any 8 and 16-bit system on PS Vita and carry around the entire library of each system.
So you can play ~10 games slightly better than the entire library on a free emulator.
I don't have a Raspberry Pi. I own the real thing.So you can play ~10 games slightly better than the entire library on a free emulator.
Are you daft?
We hack this shit.
You can put the entire library on the snes classic with near pitch perfect emulation.
You Raspberry Pi dudes are tacos.

I have a raspberri Pi 3b+ and wont touch any of this shit until they make a saturn/dreamcast mini that plays actual discs :hmph :vr
Can't see them not including this in the end. Props to them for including CD games...although I can't help but wonder if this is why we didn't get Dracula X on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection.

Hacked my 3ds and I got Fire Emblem gba on it.

Real talk the only thing as good as official, real, physical hardware is console maker emulation. Proved time and again with Sony(ps1), Nintendo (everything they make), and Sega (Sega ages). Wii U can play every damn Nintendo game not on 3ds or Switch with precision. Snes emulators on pc still aren’t perfect. Never mind n64. I’m told to just emulate when project64 struggles to play Paper fucking Mario.
Meanwhile, on Wii U.

You retropi niccas say to just emulate, you can get Nintendo rom that work on their official emulators made by Nintendo and get stuff that works.
Nintendo’s emulators are such higher quality. It’s almost like playing the game physical. Yet we are told we are nuts. You can dump the entire snes library on snes Classic and take advantage of Nintendo’s superior emu. But nah, gotta prattle about your retropi. Fuck off.
I wish I had the superior intellect of those kiddies who know how to use piratebay :stahp Screw me for being a gaming fan excited about cool collectibles and official products.

I think Himu is referring to Sony's emulator on PSP/Vita/PS3 etc. It's a pretty good emulator, which they unfortunately didn't carry over for the Classic

What, for collections and images? Just google "Arcade Punks" and you're set.

SNES Classic uses the same emulator as 3DS/Wii/U afaik. I've been monitoring and compiling compatibility for it on this spreadsheet. Also includes patches to get games working on it. That said, I haven't -actually- tried any of the emulators on 3DS/Wii/U. Assuming when and if Switch gets SNES games it may use the same emulator (or updated!)

Nintendo's emulator (Canoe) also has lower input lag than Retroarch.
https://old.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/8w0cg3/input_delay_canoe_vs_retroarch/
Wii and Wii U use the same emulator? Hmm, wonder if it was an OS issue with Wii U VC games being darker.
For Sega for instance, they're done by the same company that has done other Sega Ages ports. Basically, official emulators, especially when it comes to folks like Nintendo and Sega, are generally better.BSNES/Higan shits on everything and is cycle accurate. Snes9x is really good, too, for devices with less horsepower. Sega systems have been emulated near perfectly as well (GenesisPlusGX) and there's a cycle accurate emulator in development (BlastEm). Emulators have come a long way since the ZSNES days.
Did Nintendo ever fix the bug on Wii U that made everything like 30% darker as if the screen is paused and if you unpause for a brief moment the correct contrast ratio flickers?
Because when I played Wii U VC games it felt like someone had turned off the lights in Nintendoland to save some money or something.
Are...are we getting both? I don't understand. :doge

I just saw JP version on the YT thumbnail so guess so but kind of a konami decision. I mean if we end up with everything untranslated hey neato, but if they would actually go back and translate some of this it would sell out instantly.
I never got the hesitation with translations. How much do translators get paid that they make ROM dumps apparently unprofitable?
Add QA to that.I never got the hesitation with translations. How much do translators get paid that they make ROM dumps apparently unprofitable?
Translations aren't cheap, but still waaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than VA work. I'd guess something between $20,000-$80,000 depending on the game but that may be a little high. I mean if it's a NES action game with like 200 lines of dialogue it's probably closer to like $5k. But like Snatcher would be a lot more. Also this is including the cost of an editor too.
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
:fbm
lets be honest. this lineup is infinitely superior to psx classic :gurl
I heard there's a new thing called a Raspberry Pi that plays TG-16 games and only costs like $40 I think, you guys should check it out.
Also, M2 is behind this one too...
Or Devil's Crush. :maf
I want Tengai Makyou and Tokimeki. :'(
Am ok with Salamander tho.
yeah i want this, but I also dont really want to give Konami money, so idk :goldberg
It's got Alien Crush, but not Devil Crush.

Hmm, maybe she hacked it already - or got some sort of special one? She's had companies send her swag before as she's known as a big retro gaming geek. Half of her tweets are her playing older games.
The tweet translates as "PC Engine mini fun" and the video is of Devil's Crash.
But what else does Konami have that's worth a shit? Mini pachinko?

beat em up classics, arcade classics, suikoden, silent hill, rocket knight adventures, goemon. Recently released Contra and Castlevania Collection.
I need a suikoden and goemon collection.
What a baffling question. Konami used to a GOAT developer. Fuck them for sucking Metal Gear and Kojima's dick as everything else went down in flames.
I thought we were talking about hardware. :dogeBut what else does Konami have that's worth a shit? Mini pachinko?
Tons of awesome IPs that we'll probably not get shit for again. :'( Hell, release that Bomber Girl arcade game on something, Konami- you put it out in arcades only? WHY
:mindblown
If anything, I hope they continue to release collections of their older games- I already have the Parodius one on PSP, but hey- give me a modern platform re-release and thrown in Otomedius with it or something.
it's a company that found that their IP isn't profitable anymore for classic games
which capcom beat em ups are better? stuff like captain commando sucks. They've got AvP, Final Fight, the DND games and that's really it imo. Konami had TMNT and The Simpsons.

Most beat-em-ups from that era are pretty simple and it's not like Konami was the only one putting out so many cookie-cutter "move right and attack/jump+hit both buttons for special" games, but that's kind of all Konami put out. Their games still look and sound great, but are so simple. You got better variety and/or game play with AvP, the D&D games, The Punisher, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Battle Circuit, etc.
The whole Konami boycott doesn't even make sense unless you're one of those weird Kojima drones. Hardly anyone cared when they stopped making classic IPs many years before letting go of Kojima, but only the latter caused a widespread reaction.They only make Pro Evo and re-released classics, they're literally boycotting themselves from me ever buying stuff from them.
At the end of the day, it's a company that found that their IP isn't profitable anymore for classic games - what can you say against that? It sucked, but they will only be proven wright if an actual decent product of theirs flops too :yeshrug And then we aren't going to get any closer to a real Silent Hill remastered trilogy. :brain
Konami became uninteresting right around the time they changed the logo: The day the kukeiha logo died is the day Konami died.this right here was the pinnacle, when your highest high is this, it's all disappointment after
I haven't purchased any new Konami releases in many years. I have pretty much all of their old games I ever wanted in my collection, and there is there is no point in giving them them money for ports of old software as it won't lead to new games of the same kind being made.
Note that I'm not specifically boycotting them, they simply aren't making anything I want anymore.
When they stated 'traditional' games just aren't worth the effort, they literally fist fucked themselves. Where do they get off?
I dont follow yu-gi-oh, but are they doing anything new with it or just 'content updates as new games' like the other stuff
Highlighting the biggest successes in digital entertainment, Konami praised the ongoing success of the now two-year-old mobile title Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, which has surpassed 90 million downloads.
They have other legs to stand on. Seem to be doing OK with that, too.

So everything is down, but "digital entertainment" went way up for them. Hard to tell if that's mobile shit or anything digital since games have a separate listing. :thinking

In terms of console and PC games, PES continues to be the big hit with the game's online mode myClub performing particularly well, thanks in part to a promotion with the mobile version.

Really not expecting the new consoles to come out this year unless something changes.
Basically the only things Amazon is shipping right now are "essentials"

No changes on American Amazon, though. :(

Get a PCE Mini- same thing, about the same price, smaller form factor, and Amazon.jp sent it to me with free overnight shipping- it's coming tomorrow and I'm not even an Amazon Japan Prime member.
:lawd
Don't have much to say about the PCE Mini and I mean that in a good way- if you've used an NES Classic Mini, SNES Classic Mini, or Genesis Mini, you know what to expect here, right down to the interface style. Very solid emulation and the box is nice n' tiny. Comes with a pretty long controller and USB/HDMI cable, too.
There's an icon on the lower-right of the menu to select console type. You get a cool animation transition and different menu/music types for the PCE and TG16, plus the different game line-ups.

Can you change the language of the menus to English? I'm tempted to get one even though I have many different ways of playing the games already. I was one of the few nerds that actually had a TG16 back in the day and there are some great games in the lineup.
