Great review Vic. This console evaded me when I was younger as well, but just like many people I saw it advertised in loads of magazines, but never felt compelled to get it and still kind of don't now, but it's great to see it's pretty impressive library of games and I've managed to try a few myself over the years. What a crazy era of gaming but also an awesome one. Great video as always, keep up the great work.

[@EPN]

It is truly an insane era of gaming! If you had asked me in 1995 when I started my EP journey if I would be reviewing 8- and 16-bit software on EP in 2020 I would have told you that was insane! And it is! :)

Early 90s gaming: NES - Get with the times Genesis - Gaming for mature audiences SNES - You're playing that kiddie toy? (this perception would change in about 2-3 years after the release) Turbografx-16 - You have what? Neo Geo - Wow, your parents must be rich Crazy thing, they are all fun to play, but back then having more than one video game console was pretty rare.

[@MrCarpediem6]

right.. and 3do.. are ur parents really rich ? lol.

[@jasoncrandall5320]

Yep back then you had to choose ONE, now I have like 5 consoles and 250 games

I had the T-16 when it first came out. Great memories. Just got the mini T-16 delivered on Friday finally! Well worth every dollar spent to get it to Canada ($40 import fees from USA). Get one, sit back and enjoy some wonderful gaming.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

I like the Turbo Mini but ofcourse I think of the better games they left out. Keith Courage and Cybercore are the obvious ones. Cotton and Magical Chase are the ones the fans really want

[@yandman26]

Press run for filters, it says so on the menu.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Great video Victor. Appreciate what you said about the Mini being for everybody, not just the hard core. Would be great if you can go over the games again once you play them more. Thanks!

[@Mondoblasto0]

Any ideas or speculation as to why the TG16 wasn't marketed well? I suppose one thing I can see is the whole bunch of accessories to buy, including the one just for couch coop. Did NEC rest on their laurels on their success with the PC Engine and figure if they didn't make a huge footprint in NA that'd be okay?

[@crackadon86]

First home console I ever played was the NES over at my babysitters. First system I ever owned was the SNES. Had a friend who had the Sega Genesis and we'd go to each other's houses to play the systems we didn't own. I remember seeing the Turbo Grafix 16 at Toys R Us and in gaming mags, but I always thought it was meant for teenagers/older kids (I was around 7, 8 at the time). Now that I'm older and really into shoot-em-ups, I'm dying to get a mini version. Great review, Vic! Keep up the excellent work.

Those Turbo Cards are smaller than CDs and they dont scratch I still have the card for SIDEARMS I was hoping to play it after 30 years but the Mini wont play it

[@grungyperry7530]

Mine should be arriving today in the mail! Can't wait!

[@xavierpena5139]

I was the only one with a TG16 at my school back in the day. Expensive but awesome for its time, more so the CD games. They blew everything 8 or 16 bit stuff available just for the audio and music they had! For me it is a no brainer once it is widely available in NA. For fans of the PC Engine I would also recommend checking “High Score Girl” on Netflix. Thanks for the review Vic!

[@hepwo91222]

Yeah, I got a CD player for it in 1992 after they were practically giving them away and still have it. Sometimes the laser gets stuck, but the CD games had sound well above any other games of the time. I think the sega CD came out around when I got the Turbo CD, but the Turbo CD I think was out in the US in '89-90? Thats nuts how more advanced this console was at the time. And the TurboExpress too!!!!

[@sleepinglionarchives]

Amazon US had it in stock last week, mine arrived a few days later

@@EPN yes...the problem being is he's too damn sexy.

[@RacerX-]

I have always appreciated the TG16 ever since I bought a TurboDuo when it was released. It had some great titles. Yeah it wasn't a Genesis or SNES killer here in the USA but it had its own charm. I am not sure why they are marketing the CoreGrafx to the European market as I believe they still had the TurboGrafx USA based version in Europe and the UK and they wisely dropped the 16. The CoreGrafx was only sold in Japan, I believe.

[@theguaable]

Although the Turbo Grafx was released in Europe, I was more familiar with the PC Engine from reading magazines. It wouldn't surprise me if imported PC Engines were more common than the PAL Turbo Grafx

[@GiordanDiodato]

the Turbografx didn't sell a lot in Europe (I think it was less than 100,000 units)

[@vintageroller]

Omg i love ninja spirit. I used to play it at the near by 2 4 1 pizza in toronto all the time. Some many quarters well spent

[@rgm4646]

My original TG16 had a Hard plastic carrying case that you could store it in , and if I remember correctly the TG16CD also . I lost mine a few decades ago. I rarely see them around anymore. Anyone remember that?

[@NintenDub]

Thanks Vic. I've never played touched or seen this thing growing up.now with yt I know plenty and I really want one

[@juni674]

I bought the PC Engine, Super and Turbo Grafx back in the day. I was living in Connecticut at the time. I bought it through the very first American buy and sell game shops. The shop was in Old Saybrook, Ct. A ad was ran in a video game magazine. I had a ton of NES games back in '88. The guy said yeah they ran the ad too soon. They ran it a month too early. But he told me to come on down. I brought down my games and got around 5 grand for the lot. He ran the business out of house converted over to a paint store. A couple of months later the paint store was small and his game business was taking it over. He had every system on the planet. He made tons of money from that business. Unfortunately a year or so later his mom was running it. She told me that he owed her money so she took the business. Well she ran it into the ground. She had no clue as what to do. The guy would let you try out games on the many systems he had set up in the front. You had a 5 minute time limit. She stopped that practice and was very mean to customers. So people stopped showing up. You could buy over seas games, systems, toys, etc. It was nice. Too bad the mother did not know anything about the gaming business or how to deal with people. About 6 months after she took over it went out of business. Thanks for the great vid Vic.

[@ChrisLT]

John is good people.

[@gfear24]

The early gen of consoles always had me wishing I owned all of them. I had an NES and wish I also had the SEGA master system. I had the SNES and wish I had a Genesis & TG16. Once the PS1 came out I became a Sony guy and never had any regrets about not getting the Game Cube, Wii or the XBox consoles. I don't have the Switch either and am only mildly interested in, maybe, sometime, getting one, only after a lot of the games I loved on the NES & SNES are available. Right now, virtually none of them are and I prefer the old school games. Heck, I still wish SEGA had brought out a Master System mini before they did the Genesis.

[@rgm4646]

The TG16 has been my favorite system since it was released. I still have mine, and im going to get a mini eventually! I was a Genesis kid too, but one of my cousins got a TG16 for Christmas and I was hooked. Funny thing is she didnt really even like the system. I had to sell my soul to get one but I did. Great system.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

I got the Mini and played it for fuckin 7 hours straight I havent done that since I was 12. The HD on the games is dope and allows you to see better and play longer without fucking up your eyes.!!!!

[@skootdiggity1301]

I hope you're right about the system still coming out soon in the US. Everyone that preordered on Amazon US just got an updated tracking email with a discouraging new ship date of Tuesday, January 5, 2021. Hopefully this is just a placeholder date.

[@louisdellalucca8969]

To anyone who think NES is a kids console: go play Golgoo 13. I love your vids! I just found out about your channel. Now I REALLY want this system! I want to import from Amazon Japan, but I cant work out ordering from the website! 😭

[@marmac7467]

As a kid growing up in the 8 bit and 16 bit era of gaming, I was the only one who owned a TG16 out of all my friends. Loved it to death and so did my friends. Got myself a TG16 Mini from Amazon Japan and cost me about $180 Canadian dollars (live in Montreal, Quebec) which includes currency exchange rate, taxes, duties and shipping. It's worth every penny considering that every game on here has a starting price tag of $60 and up on Ebay. Only thing I was dissatisfied about was the fact that there was no second controller included.

[@EPN]

Yup they should have added another one for sure! Thanks for the detailed info for Canadians.

[@gurgamous]

that sound and visual of the cd rom booting up, spinning and reading the disc is such a nice touch. I just wish they had the legendary axe games on this thing

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Yes they shouldve. Theres some shitty games on this MINI, and some duplicates on the PC ENGINE menu!!! They couldve had more games with the same memory space!!!!

[@thelastdisciple]

[@IRWPD]

Keep hearing lots of great things about this. Might just have to get one.

[@IntothewestOkotoks]

Great review. Strange they didn’t include Keith Courage as that was the pack in game in North America from what I recall. Also, comments about Space Harrier, it ran fairly good on the Master System so not surprised it looks pretty good on Turbografx. Hope to find this system soon!

[@RP_Williams]

Keith Courage was a manga in Japan too, so they'd have to pay license. The bigger mystery is why no Legendary Axe, as it's a straight up Hudson/Konami property, and one of the system's more popular games...those two and Bonk's Adventure are the only 3 TG16 games i ever played back in early 90s. I've since added a bunch of TG16/PC Engine games to my hacked SNES Classic, and i wish i'd played more of this underrated system back then (i think the biggest drawback was the 'just one controller port'...kids like me didn't have money for both another controller and the Turbo Tap, when a Genesis or SNES already came with two).

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Yep Keith Courage seems like a definite title to include, I wish they did instead of POWER GOLF or watever. Wouldnt mind busting out Keith Courage for nostalgia.

[@CubamusPrime]

I got the Core Grafix and love it.

[@trevorcmoore]

Vic do you know where we can get a 2nd controller that’s not in the PC engine grey?

[@SenecaRaccoon]

that was something the TG-16 was REALLY good at. TONS of color in their games! impressive amounts of color.

[@hepwo91222]

Yeah, it was technically only an 8 bit CPU with a 16 bit CPU that had way more colors on screen than the Sega Genesis which was a true 16 bit console. So it kinda did things so well it made you forget it was older hardware made to compete with the NES. I mean Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition on the PC Engine is technically 8 bit? It looked great!

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

I wonder what RType would look like on Genesis. Would the colors be bland and muted or super bright like Gunstar Heroes

[@CoolBoyPunx]

Great Review Victor! This was my very first video game console does it not have keith courage? Tail Spin? Casino? Please Confirm. I like that splatterhouse and space harrier 2 is on there.

[@battles1]

Always wanted a TG16 when I was younger but never bought one. Picked up a PC Engine mini and am blown away. Ninja Spirit and Soldier Blade are so awesome.

[@hepwo91222]

Soldier Blade is my favorite vertical shooter of all time, playing that long before bullet hells like ikaruga or Radiant Silver Gun. Also Ninja Spirit I would take over any other 80's/90's ninja games like Shinobi, Shadowdancer, Ninja Gaiden, etc

[@reagandow850]

Nothing beats the TG16 back in the day. I stumbled across one and bought it when I was 15 or 16 back in 90 or 91 and damn!! The only problem was that I didn’t know about all the amazing shmups that were available in Japan. This mini is amazing. I haven’t touched any other system since I received my unit from Japan. I’ve only played a couple of games so far. Still trying to master blazing lasers and get a 1cc.

[@hepwo91222]

I picked up the Arcade Card within the last decade to play some old school Neo Geo fighters in it. In the US, the CD player had the standard card driver and Super CD, but in Japan there was also the Arcade card. I was always a huge fan of this console.

[@nintyfan1991]

Again, I'll be sure to get one of these. Never had one, but playing it for the first time at Salt Lake Gaming Con last year was cool.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Alien Crush and Splatter House pretty much justify the 100 bucks, plus you get RType and a shitload of good games. I gots to get me one of these

[@pedrosvlog1183]

Turbo mini excites me more then the ps5.

[@Sinn0100]

The Core Grafx was not originally the European model. It was basically the second model of the PC Engine. The Core Grafx Mini is supposed to be the European version now. I tried to get the TG-16 but unfortunately, they were sold out at Amazon Japan. I wound up purchasing the Core Grafx Mini and I can't wait until it shows up here. After shipping the unit cost me $111.38 USD. That was actually pretty shocking to me as I was ready to pay whatever they asked and expected it to be in the $30-$50 range easy. I will go out on a limb here and agree that those of us that missed the TG-16...this is a great way to catch up. I myself grew up a Sega Genesis/Sega CD and Snes player. I wanted a TG-16 (not before my Genesis) but I could never find one in the wild back then. One thing that always bothered me about the machine (I'm a collector now) was not the different models but the different System Cards. You needed the System 1 card for the early CD games, the System 2.0 for some of the following games, System 3.0 cards for later games, and finally the Arcade Card for fighters...it was nuts. If you had the Turbo Duo you could play most and the Super Grafx did them all but was discontinued after 5 games...it really was kind of confusing.

[@matthewbarrios1028]

Already commented and love this video but I am curious why DF hasn't done a DF retro video on this mini like it did the others

Amusing that the USA version still has “mini” in the title. It’s massive! By contrast, the “Core Grafx mini” released in Europe is only 4” x 4” x 1”.

[@jasonangeles3765]

got a tg-16 xmas 90 and a duo xmas 92, this is a great compilation although i would have added and subtracted 5-10 games.. what i do recommend for shooters though is Soldier Blade and Super Star Soldier, beating the latter really was an accomplishment and also Military Madness which is also a fun 2 player game you only need 1 controller for it since you take turns. anyway yeah pick this thing up and enjoy!

[@XY-dc4yp]

The Turbo Grafix was the high end at the time, not many ppl had it, but the kids that did were the envy of the class, I remembered how the graphics killed the NES and Sega at the time, pre-genesis pre SNES era.

[@IMDLEGEND]

I also fall into that category of never owned a TG-16, and also was a Sega fanboy. I have always been intrigued by it, but this time I will wait until it drops in price. I rushed and got a Sega Genesis Mini, only for it to drop by $20-30 a few months later. On the other hand, I got a SNES classic a year after launch and those have since gone up in price.

[@SuperMikeKaos]

If beyond Shadowgate had been on here I would have been even happier... plus not enough adventure fans played that amazing game...

[@randomgamer-st1ie]

Just like back in the day, I still can't get one. Konami is taking this nostalgia thing to unprecedented levels.

[@matthewbarrios1028]

I love my TG16 mini so much. It might be tied with my sega genesis mini as my favorite. But I think the TG16 is more prized due to what it brings me

[@razorramon123]

Would love to see a revised Deluxe Edition launch for North America which would include 2 controllers and some of the missing North American games such as the Bonk Trilogy, Legendary Axe, Bloody Wolf and Devils Crush. English translations on some of the games would make total sense. Konami please give us a proper launch revision.

[@hepwo91222]

I like for the most part what is there but Snatcher is unplayable in Japanese only. Power Golf, Moto Roader, Victory Run, weren't even good 30 years ago. I like some of your choices, also through in Gate of Thunder (first Super CD game), Keith Courage (pack-in game, not a great game, but it came with the TG-16!), and some more JRPG love with Dragon Slayer, Cosmic Fantasy 2. Also sidescroller action RPG's like Ys 3, Exile 1 and 2.

[@razorramon123]

@@hepwo91222 For the most part its almost perfect. Since they released 3 versions of the consoles it would just make sense to change up the unplayable Japanese games with the missing North American classics. Or what would make the system truly special is if they translated games like Snatcher.

[@hepwo91222]

@@razorramon123 I mean I can say I think the SNES is the best bc every single game is very good on it, but then I think, it has just a tad bit over 20 games, this thing has over 50 even if you count the doubles of PCE/TG-16 versions to a few. So I really like this console, perhaps even more than the SNES mini, dare I say it? Would have loved if the super rare, ultra expensive Magical Chase was on it and many others, but whats there for the most part is pretty solid. Its kinda like the Genesis mini, it has over 40 games, more than half a pretty good, thats how I feel about this console, I probably like around 30 games here out of over 50, so I am happy.

Remember waling through Macy's off all places just as they had set up a Genesis Display and sitting there all day untill beating Altered Breast. Mall was a 20 walk from home and my Mom eventually just left thinking once thought about the walk would come running behind. Instead she thought wow he must relay want this and the next day had set out to an actual electronics store. Don't remember the actual conversation but at the store Genesis had maybe been on shelves a week maybe two. Probably gamer's knowing the PC Engine left the store a Turbo Graphics owner instead and eventuality of many a joke. Still is what I had and loved untill years latter when my younger brother had been in the same situation leaving store with an SNES. That said we had years of enjoyment with the TG16 to him still having our OG Bonk and Splatterhouse cards found digging through basement. Still happy with the decision as seemed Genesis kids I had known only cared about sports and Mortal Combat, Was not untill becoming an adult did I own a Sega Genesis and relizzed they had more more to offer.

American Turbografx-16 only had I think like 130+ games total even including CD games? PC Engine had several hundred. But even with that, the CD player was region free, the HuCards (PCE) and Turbochips (TG-16) were not and were region locked as they were slightly different in size. I just wish a few more iconic American releases made it, Legendary Axe 1 and 2, Keith Courage (pack in game), Gate of Thunder (first super CD game), Bloody Wolf. Also some sleepers like Cosmic Fantasy 2, Magical Chase (worth thousands on Ebay),Dragon Slayer, and Exile 1 and 2. But still, majority of games are solid, but some stinkers in there I would have swapped out.

[@DrGamelove]

I went the Genesis route so I missed out on this wonderful system. I would love to grab one. Unfortunately, the release date has gone from set to unknown. And I don’t really look to preorder something without a solid date. Shame about the untranslated Japanese titles that require reading.

[@SeveredLegs]

People are already in the process of hacking the machine so it can be easily modded to be able to add games. It's extremely likely that for most of the games you'd want to play, there are English patches available. Keep an eye on www.modmyclassic.com and the team over at www.Hakchi.net. I've used Hakchi for NES, SNES, and Genesis mini systems. The great news about the TG16 mini is that it's likely to have significantly more memory due to the base unit including a bunch of CD-based games on it. This means you should be able to fit a lot of stuff on it. The standard unit also has a good amount of input lag as well as the audio not being properly synchronized with the video, which can only be fixed by modding the system to include different emulators. If the time comes and you're interested, I'm happy to help point you in the right direction.

[@DrGamelove]

KevvyLava thanks. Sounds like it definitely needs some improvement out of the box. I was able to hack my SNES classic with Hakchi, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

[@davidturner3704]

I wish the Super Nintendo Mini would get a re-release.

[@Gammaworlds]

So will the Japanese games be translated for the American release? If not why include the games without it? This mini console is another great idea, but execution is not quite there, was excited to purchase this but the lack of outstanding titles makes me re think this notion.

[@hepwo91222]

Most games can be played without translation, but Snatcher is a big oversight and is unplayable for most people if its just in Japanese.

[@drumtum]

The PC Engine was never actually officially released all over Europe back in the day. Such a shame. I think it was available in three countries in Europe or something back in the day.

Im buying this just for bonk

[@Zeldaboy2k2]

Wait, so I can't play Snatcher? I always wanted to but I don't speak Japanese.

[@log10xp]

Almost wanna go back in time to enjoy this...hard to enjoy them now that we have been exposed to crazy 60fps graphics.

[@stephenhall2980]

Um... You do know that the vast majority of games from this era ran at 60 fps?

[@infobahnpirate9713]

Until you met people like Stan Lee... Yep that'll do it. lol

[@matthewdavies2057]

How can you love it in Japanese??

[@shadeofneon3325]

My neighbour had a TurboGrafx-16... after her mom took an axe to her NES

[@fernicusmaximus9282]

Ugh a wasted slot when they added China Warrior.

What ever happened to your buddy Scott C Jones

[@MrSujano]

Hahaha and its already hacked!

[@Superdimensional]

If it’s not 16bit, why do several titles look better on the PCengine than the Genesis? It has a 16bit graphics processor... so they had every right to call it 16bit. Street Fighter II and Lords of Thunder are two that quickly come to mind that look better on the “8bit” system.

North american version delayed

[@thafutureonline619]

really?! when is it coming out here in the states?

[@Marqtosis]

​@@thafutureonline619 They have a nice chart on www.konami.com/games/pcemini/announce/us/en/ Looks like there keeping people up to date when it will ship or release with place holder dates are for December 2020

[@youtubeshadowbannedmylasta2629]

how come these companies don't like money? I mean unless its to let scalpers make money from the stuff they make.

[@kyoto5]

The reason that the PC Engine games are in Japanese is because the American version is not out yet. Why the fuck doesn't Lucas make mention of this?? Shit!

[@-TerryBogard]
