There are very good mods for the Dreamcast now, like the GDEMU and the DCHDMI. I think Sega should build a Dreamcast on a chip, and create a Dreamcast mini with all of these mods. I would buy one or even 2. With a good selection of Dreamcast games.... it should sell like pancakes!

[@arnox4554]

I think the main reason why we're not getting an N64 mini is because so many of the classics, Rare most notably, were third-party. And even worse, Rare's owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft's already released Rare Replay for the XOne. (To be fair though, Rare Replay was pretty well done.) So yeah, an N64 mini with only DK64 from the main Rare collection would be really lame.

[@Varinz]

GoldenEye has aged like bad wine. But there are other games on there that have aged much better.

[@fatmac8480]

Are we not pretty much guaranteed that game wont be on a “classic” because of james bond copyright

[@yoman8027]

GoldenEye is practically impossible. The game partially belongs to Rare, who belongs to Microsoft, but they don't have the James Bond license anymore. Besides, I never understood what made it so popular. PCs had much better first person shooters at the time, and the game hasn't aged well at all.

[@bflippsytrance]

I have the Mega Drive mini, it's very nice and what I like is that they have regular USB controller inputs. Using Project Lunar I clocked it at 1.3 Ghz (for some reason they clocked it down to 1Ghz) and have my own selection of added games. To me the big plus of the SNES version is that it comes with a 2 Ghz processor which should have better emulation performance options. I do think you can use Hackchi on it to emulate other game consoles and add games, but in order to use other controllers as well as a thumb drive you need to use an OTG hub. Of course, the SNES controllers come with 6 buttons so for most emulations they would suffice as well.

[@Jared-C]

I forgot all about the Turbo Graphix 16. I remember as a kid my neighbors uncle brought one over when he came to visit, and it blew our minds.

Yes, there are only two usb ports and using a separate keyboard and two controllers requires a USB splitter, but it is an option! I'm so glad they increased the number of usb ports on the C64!

The SNES mini is incredible because you can easily hack it and include many more games (the included memory fits all NES/Master System and a decently large selection of Genesis + SNES games). And these other games and systems operate with the same intuitive menu system and save game functionality etc, with the additional feature of going out into the menu using the controller instead of having to press reset. It's just a perfect little thing.

Yeah I got the Japanese PC-Engine version and really love it. Turbo Grafix 16 just didn’t do well in the USA. But my curiosity was through the roof since it had CD-Rom and a good number of fantastic arcade ports. That was a huge deal back then. It was a revolutionary console. I didn’t really know anyone who had one back in the day. This mini gave me a great representation of what I missed out on. I remember seeing it on store displays and how the color pallete and CD-Roms looked superior to the SNES and Genesis. I really enjoyed the games on it. The Hudson Soft games are cool but all the Konami stuff made this mini really stand out. I liked the Ninja Gaiden port also.

the genesis official six buttons was the real deal for me, it looked great, felt great and that "velvet" directional was best way to NOT destroy your thumbs doing hadoukens and shoryukens, i'm aware of today's upscaled complexity of games that demands much more from controllers but that one still the top controller of all times to me.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Velvet D-pad? I don't remember it being made of velvet. Oh wait, I see what ya meant. It would be the same thing if you called it " That butter smooth" D-pad" But yeah, because it was a circle disc with a raised "Cross" pattern that made fighting games from Street Fighter to MK1-3 so much easier to pull off and didn't put your thumbs through hell. Too bad KI was never released for the Gen/Megadrive. Tho I had some asshat try to tell me the game would never play properly even on the 6 button controller because it doesn't have the same number of buttons as the SNES because of the missing "the left/right bumpers" He still couldn't wrap his head around that they both have 6 buttons total and HE even went to far as to post images of both controllers to show that the SNES has more buttons to make his point... That was the day I began losing faith in humanity, one comment at a time, and this was 1999.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

yeah, i loved the SNES i had but whenever i played SF on it i'd wonder "why isn't this D-pad 8 directions and smooth like the one on the Genesis? or even the Master System?" i mean, i don't think they could predict SFII's runaway success, but it's still annoying to do a QCF on a cross D-pad, let alone a Shoryuken motion (and God forbid if you try the Pretzel in the Fatal Fury games). i'd get much less blisters on my left thumb if they put out a new controller to address the gameplay like Sega did with the six-button controller.

I'd like to see a Sega Dreamcast Mini and Nintendo 64 Classic Edition. It would be cool to see a DOS classic, Gameboy Classic Edition, Gameboy Color Classic Edition and Sega Game Gear Mini

[@mlmattin]

Great video. An Amiga! Yes! A mini that looks like he Amiga 500 would be awesome! It would really be cool if it had a working keyboard and the disc drive was an SD card slot. I don't think it was very popular, but I owned a Vectrex as a child and I loved it at the time. I would love to see that as a mini, but I'm not even sure if it's possible.

[@googleshutupdontcare9779]

I just got a nes mini hdmi version at a yard sale for $20 and I’m loving it I added the entire nes library and I’ve already tried a ton of games I’ve never played. I also have the ps1 mini and sega mini both modded. Personally I’m a huge fan of the ps1 mini but it was one of my golden systems. The ps1 startup noise brings me back to Christmas everytime

Castlevania 4 in the background at the start. My favourite game ever! That and Castlevania 3. Metal Jesus DOES indeed rock!

I would love to see a Gameboy Classic. It wouldn't be mini, it'd be an exact replica but with a modern USB-chargeable battery, color backlit screen (but with options to play in black&white or classic green) and support for GB and GBC games. We're getting something similar with the new Game & Watch, which looks pretty great (and hackable). A DOS mini would also be cool--I wonder who would make it?

I really loved the min PlayStation simply because it was so easy to fix so one could play almost any rom on it. It truly mimicked the org ps1 really well which was abysmally easy to fix so you could play games from all regions and even copied discs haha.

I still remember Christmas 1985, getting the original Nintendo, and the Turbo Grafx 16 that year. Was cool having both systems. Antique stores will pay a pretty penny for an original Turbo Grafx 16 in it's original box.

I have a theory, Sony was toying with the idea and it got leaked forcing it to go to market. Unlike Sega or Nintendo, Sony just doesn't their library outright meaning they could never include the games people want and still keep it affordable. Never should have been released

If it wasn't for Rondo of Blood I would have never known it existed. If America would have gotten that game the console would have been a solid competitor here

I had one. Absolutely loved it. It really had a lot of great, underappreciated games. The TV Sports titles were some of the best lineup of sports games for it's time. I even had the CD attachment which admittedly was a terrible investment. I'm not sure that thing even had ten games ever made for it.

Sony not including the Dual Shock, and deciding to include PAL versions of games in the North American release was a huge mistake. That said, I would love to see a Sega Master System mini. Arguably the most underrated great console of all time

The Wii is a great option if you like Wii games and Gamecube games it really saves a bit of space, much like the PS2 saves the space of both it and the PSX. Gamecube also has much cheaper component and HDMI adapters making it easier and cheaper to hook up to modern TVs than the original gamecube.
