All 36 Games of Sega's Astro City Mini

[@moisesaardaya]

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.

[@TheRealAmericanMan]

Is it WORTH $150? No Did I buy it anyway? Yes

[@xbon1]

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

[@enigma776]

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.

[@HybridAngelZero]

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.

[@HybridAngelZero]

@@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

[@philipcohen7192]

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.

[@PutlerHuyIo]

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

[@andrewgauchi7271]

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.

[@davechristopher6462]

If I buy one.....Shinobi is what I WANT! Lol I sure wish this unit was portable. A rechargeable battery would have sold me.

[@emanuelepolloni4002]

I hope a Naomi Mini will come next. This way we'll finally have a Dreamcast Mini, sort of.

[@ST2008X]

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?

[@venom74799]

I’d buy that day one with no hesitation.

[@Kourumeme]

Agree

[@Kourumeme]

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,

[@dvdbytes4348]

I had honestly hoped for more 3D games.

[@mickmook1317]

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.

[@madhatter8508]

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.

[@michaelsierra9]

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.

[@madhatter8508]

@@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.

[@michaelsierra9]

Mad Hatter I hope so. If they include star wars hope they also include spiderman and moonwalker since those were also great games.

[@1515jet]

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.

[@ST2008X]

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....

[@jayhollow2936]

[@laccess911]

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!

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'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.

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...

[@zackschilling4376]

@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

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

[@esprithk]

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.

@@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.

I’m glad I didn’t bother with the pre-order now....this could have been so much better. Half of these look like Master System games!

All of them look like the arcade games to me, not sure what you mean. That is what arcade games from the mid 1980s look like. If you'd rather play boring later games like Arabian Magic rather than classics like Flicky and Wonder Boy I don't know what to tell you.

[@Shadowbann3d]

Anthony Flack I know that’s what arcade games looked like in the mid 80’s - I was around at the time. All comes down to what you have more nostalgia for; personally I have more nostalgia for games from the mid to late 90’s (of which Sega has many, many great titles) which I find to have more depth gameplay-wise and also look better visually too.....That’s what I mean. You shouldn’t judge everyone else by your own standards as everybody’s tastes are subjective.

[@AnthonyFlack]

@@Shadowbann3d - the way you said "half of these look like Master System games!" made it sound like that's a bad thing, somehow. It's got nothing to do with nostalgia, I play the games that play well, which is why Wonder Boy still gets played a lot, and After Burner gets played never.

[@AnthonyFlack]

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?

Totally getting this due to a few unreleased games listed here. I hope it does well enough to warrant a second version.

[@orakaa]

*Honestly, I find the list of games too short and really underwhelming, filled with too many unnecessary entries, especially for such a small screen.* You can have 3 different Columns games on your system... but only if you propose over 200 games in total, not if you only stick to a few dozen.

Cotton is still owned by Success, Sega just licensed the game for use on this system as it never received an arcade perfect port for consoles.

I look at this, and can't help but be reminded of the Neo Geo Mini (which I have), and it has many of the same aesthetics (plug in controllers for 2 player action, HDMI port, etc). Of course, this will have an edge over it being it's using arcade roms, whereas the Neo Geo Mini used the console ports. But I do want to wait and see if there will be a "international" version as well, as it may get rid of some of the less wanted games.

Mind you it's not like space is really an issue here, each of these games varies from just a few kilobytes to a few Megabytes. It's not like they couldn't have included all the aforementioned filler and then not had space for more games. I'm hoping that maybe a Sega racing mini cabinet might be in the works too...

[@inklingex4433]

I'm sold for this mini device. Also, the list of arcade games is great but A: They should've add SegaSonic the Hedgehog (System 32, which was an arcade-exclusive Sonic game, although having two games with the word "Sonic" in the title might confused the hell outta people otherwise) and Heavy Metal (System 2, an underappreciated yet interesting arcade game by Sega in the 80s which never ported on home systems) instead of Alex Kidd in Miracle World and My Hero. And B: It seems that this device goes a bit overboard with puzzle games, don't you think? But then again like you said, puzzle games are popular in Japan.

[@HellTantrumbull]

Hopefully Alien Storm does have the 3 player mode as an option and hopefully Arabian Fight and GA revenge of Death Adder do have the 4 player modes too but even if they don't it's still good to see them in the collection. If Sega makes a second mini hopefully some ST-V games like Cotton 2 and Boomerang will be there along with other games from other arcade boards that didn't make it to this one. it's also too bad because of legal reasons they can't get the Spider-Man arcade game because that was another good one from back in the day.

Looks great, Not going to get it though, but if that arcade stick is pc compatible I might get one

[@Andy_Robotsan]

You've just saved me some money. I've cancelled my order although there are a handful of great games, I don't know why they had to fill the roster with crap like 3 versions of Columns!

[@LeShark75]

Baku Baku Animal would have been nice to see but I'm all over this due to the Wonder Boy games and Revenge Of Death Adder.

[@retrosoul8770]

I really like that it's arcade game focused, seems pretty solid and excited for many of the choices but as always, could have been better but that's par for the course with these things. Still I don't agree with the overly negative tone in the comment section. I think it's solid.

[@SegaLordX]

Couldn't agree more, dude. These arcade versions have not come home intact many times, if at all. This is not Sega's usual compilation. Even despite the imperfect selection, it's still way more positive than negative.

[@vasileios6301]

As I said before the full list revealed, it was impossible to include Model 2 games and up, so it stuck with mostly the basics and some other odd choices. Only good if (when) its been hacked.

[@simonrobinson1566]

Even with no Model 2, or St-v board games, there were plenty of other great System 32 and model 1 titles Sega has left on the bench.

I HAVE been living under a rock, this is the first time I’ve heard of Astro City Mini. Revenge of Death Adder is tempting indeed. A couple of cool curiosities too. However, since it’s a Japan only product I can probably motivate myself to save my money instead...

virtua fighter, shadow dancer & thunder force, I am sold :D
