Larry, your expert opinion is one I would welcome on my viewpoint. Doesn’t it seem modern video game tech is just getting far too expensive for all but a small, well-to-do dedicated base for each item? I would love this cabinet for myself, but at $300 US I see nothing that would justify a purchase other than bragging rights. With the Astro Mini selling for $120 and basically being the same console with different games, what’s the justification for spending that much if you’re not a hardcore Taito fan with cash to burn?

The joystick peripheral is really excellent though, I fully recommend it if you can order it separately (I think I got it for $70).

26:59 A Twitter user from Canada by the name of Slinky Ramune was able to reverse engineer the Egret II Mini and was able to make use of the Egret II Mini’s SD card slot to do so. Slinky Ramune was able to change the emulator’s DIP option so that he can play the arcade roms like Puchi Carat in English. He even showed pictures of Project Lunar running on the Egret II Mini. This gives me hope that even if the Egret II Mini won’t have official firmware updates, there at least could be custom firmware updates that would give the Egret II Mini new and amazing features.

Same here. That Retro Station console that Capcom released does not qualify as a mini console in my book. If Capcom were to make a Capcom Impress Mini, it would be amazing and would allow Capcom to put a lot of their most popular arcade games. Especially the Street Fighter and Dungeons and Dragons arcade games. It would also be cool for Konami to make the Konami Windy Mini, which would show off Konami’s amazing library of arcade games ranging from Frogger to The Simpsons arcade game. It would be Konami’s second mini console after the TurboGrafx-16 Mini.

The pro adapter does work, and I've been using 8bitdo arcade stick with it a a 2nd joystick. Also, 8bitdo M30 controllers are compatible.

Lots of positive input in the comments here, and it’s definitely a system I would want for my own. But the price... the price is just too extreme to warrant any other reason than demand. Do you want to charge what you know will sell, or what you think you’ll get away with? With modern tech, these cost nowhere near $300 to make, so why do they cost that much? If it sold for half, they would still make an obscene profit from the dedicated base that’s going to buy it and would be able to market it well outside that base. Basically the same system from Sega is selling for just $120, the price difference makes no sense and most of these games are easily accessible elsewhere. Just like with Arcade1Up, though, this system, at this price, is only going to sell to the members of the dedicated base with enough throwaway cash to afford it. All the others will have to pass it on by. I would love to have one, but at $300 US it’s something I have no means to afford despite my great interest in owning one. I don’t really understand the new video game tech pricing system, because they’re all doing it.
@BoxingDayAC

You're right, it's not worth $300. They cost that much because Strictly Limited & Friends are confident 5000 units will sell outside of Japan. Slap on "Limited Edition", change to wrong blue color and double the profit. What I did is order base unit from Amazon Japan for $185 that included shipping to US! I think blue version is total sucker move unless you can justify the luxury version. Shipping that from Japan costs a scary amount.

When you say the astro city pads work on the system do they work correctly with the proper button mapping? For instance on the replicade street fighter 2 cab if I put in a usb six button it uses the mode button as an attack throwing off the mapping and cannot be changed. If the Egret uses the astro city pads with the buttons all being correct still then I may pick this up and save a bit of money.

Now I got the unit (Japanese version, but it's the same with correctly coloured joystick and buttons). I've just tested a few games - my initial findings: The rotating screen is pretty cool, but I don't see the option to stretch the image to fill out the screen. Stretching to 4:3 is authentic unlike stretching to 16:9. The joystick is serviceable, but it is notably worse than the joystick on the Astro City Mini for instance - it is way too plastic-clicky and has way too much travel. The buttons are serviceable too, but again worse quality than the Astro City Mini - too flimsy and plasticky-clicky, not microswitchy-clicky like the Astro City Mini, even though it has microswitches. Not much going on in the options department :-( The dealbreaker. The latency on this device is horrible. In conjuction with the long joystick travel it has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the gameplay. I already don't want to play it anymore. I sure hope it gets hacked and gets some better software.

At 369 American dollars, they can keep this thing. And what's with the cost of the controller???

Best mini-cab yet! And that ball and paddle controller is simply awesome - MAME support for that device wanted!

yeah, I second that on the MAME support. I've asked around in a few groups but so far no luck. I was able to get the joystick configured in emulation station and retroarch, for the menus, but as soon as I get into MAME it only recognizes the select button, not any other input. I tried to plug in the paddle controller and it didn't recognize it at all.

My eyes literally bulged when you rotated the screen. I’ve been using an ipad for this since they’re 4:3 but the controller support is a bit limited

I just bought my unit, funny how the "limited edition blue model" is still the only one being sold in the West. I think they just figured the Westerns would want as little pink as possible on their unit. The blue is nice but I still prefer the original

didnt recieve payment for this review...other than the unit itself that you didnt have to pay for? surely thats payment ...and if you give a positive review theres more chance of receiving more items in the future (that you wont pay for either) ...surely thats payment in terms of goods

Hm... I'm intrigued... I do like the gimmick and its library of games... I did skip out on getting the Astro City Mini due to its library of games feeling lackluster to me, I was sorta hoping they'd release more "volumes" of it to have more games I'd be more familiar with. Though the Taito Egret would look nice alongside my NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1 and Neo Geo Minis... and perhaps a Game Gear Micro if that's still being sold

Great news! Slap Fight is now available as part of Taito Arcade Memories Vol. 1 for the Egret II Mini! It is a compilation of 10 Taito arcade games that are different from the 40 Taito arcade games that are built into the Egret II Mini and different from the 10 paddle and trackball games for the Egret II Mini.

Please can something be said about the control latency? At 28:40 it looks pretty severe, like that would make things like shooters unplayable at harder difficulties. Is there perhaps a large dead zone on the joystick that makes it appear worse than it really is?
