Only notable unreleased games I can really think of regarding PCE along these lines are Space Fantasy Zone and PC Cocoron, both of which seem pretty unlikely despite both being complete or near complete.So what could be an excellent 'lost' game to add to this device? Like Star Fox 2 and Darius/Tetris MD?
My biggest hope is the PSP English version of Rondo of Blood, but I am sure plenty of people here have some good ideas too.
CD Unit didn't contain additional chip however it had a hardware upgrade under the form of more RAM available.The PCE CD was just a storage device to hold large games. The CD Unit itself didn't provide any hardware upgrades at all.
We don't yet.
I know, this was managed through the card port (I have system cards for 2 and 3 aka super system card)CD Unit didn't contain additional chip however it had a hardware upgrade under the form of more RAM available.
System Card v1.00, v2.00, v2.10 had 64kB of additional RAM.
System Card v3.00 had 256kB of additional RAM.
Arcade Card had 2MB.
It's supposedly a decent series and the best versions are on the PC Engine.What's the verdict on the Valis series? I only know of it through HG101, but I'm open to hear more impressions on the series.
Why is doing this easier than an MGS or Silent Hill collection? And why will this make them more money than either of those things?
The weaker games lower the series' reputation but Valis III, IV, and the remake of Valis I on PCE CD are all really good if you're a fan of Castlevania-ish action. I probably like III the most. If you don't have access to a Turbo CD, the Genesis/Mega Drive version of III is the next best one. It has some missing content but it plays just as well and even some of the cutscene graphics look a bit better which is surprising considering it's on cartridge.What's the verdict on the Valis series? I only know of it through HG101, but I'm open to hear more impressions on the series.

The Valis games are pretty solid. Part 3 is my favorite, but I think it's because it was the only one I played when I was younger, so it's got the nostalgic edge.
Too bad the franchise has been in the hands of some hentai publisher for over a decade now.

Cool! Thanks for this.I haven't checked every page, but I didn't see anything like this yet. This is a list of all Wii/Wii U TG-16 Virtual Console games released in North America. So I'd say these are the most likely to be curated from to make an appearance on our units. Hopefully we'll see more imports, though. More of these were released on Wii (63) than Wii U (40), but a few were Wii U-exclusive, and I've noted them. Some have since been delisted, I've left notes about those since they might or might not affect current availability. The Irem stuff was once delisted but got relisted a few years later, so they're not marked.

- R-Type

TurboGrafx-16 Mini will release in NA, PC Engine Core Grafx Mini in Europe and PC Engine Mini in Japan.
Japan-exclusive games:
Ok, why the heck does New Adventure Island have a title screen instead of the boxart like the other games?
Unfortunate, because NAI is the only one out of that selection that has a great boxart.
Other than that though? PC Engine is kind of lacking in the racing department so I would love to see something like OutRun make it in.
Well egg on my face then. Maybe I should stop using wikipedia for a source.Actually they aren't. Not for a long time. After that garbage and icky spinoff the rights were sold to Sunsoft who rereleased everything for the PROJECT EGG service and the two aforementioned PSP ports. So it's possible!
that's not why they expanded the PC Engine, actually, it was because of FCC regulations. The original small PC Engine is actually quite a noisy machine in terms of electrical interfearance. With mine, if I put it next to my CRT television, it'll actually warp the picture. In order to bring the system to the west, they had to spread out components and comply with shielding to get it passed. When the Duo itself actually came out in japan, they used the same design principals as the western Turbo Grafx to ensure the system wasn't noisy. My Duo and Duo R, for example, don't exhibit the CRT warping problem, nor does my Super Grafx, which is also a similar design to the Turbo Grafx.
you can tell this board is US centric when they post stuff like this. You know the PC Engine was chief rival to the Super Famicom in japan, right? It outsold the genesis. The way we, in the west, think of the Sega Genesis, they think of the PC Engine in Japan. That's why they have TWO japanese versions and only one US version here.
My biggest hope is the PSP English version of Rondo of Blood, but I am sure plenty of people here have some good ideas too.
I very, very much doubt that there's a complete working build of the game out there, but I would absolutely lose my shit if Space Fantasy Zone popped up.
Well, the trend of "mini" systems has been one of emulation in a mini-sized console but don't allow you to use your existing carts.
Does it? I've only ever seen video footage of it, but it admittedly only ever looked like a slower, more colorful Space Harrier with FZ mechanics.

The Super NT and Mega SG allow you to use your carts or load ROMs via a "jail broken" firmware.
I suppose you'll need to wait for Analog to release a TurboPC if it's even in the works.
I'm hoping for Snatcher on the Japanese version. If that's on it, (and the emulation for the device is decent,) then I will definitely pick one up.
Jesus! lmaoThe AtGames Sega Genesis minis included a cart slot to let you play original games, but then again those things were lice on rats on a horse on fire, so...
Pretty accurate description of AtGames' output, all things considered.
The biggest problem for the arcade card is that it is hard to justify the price.I know, this was managed through the card port (I have system cards for 2 and 3 aka super system card)
The arcade card is way too expensive though
The most amazing bonuses would be a translated Ys IV and the inclusion of Cosmic Fantasy 2. The system is rated PEGI 18 so who knows (placeholder).
Sadly Vasteel, Sherlock Holmes, JB Harold Murder club and DragonSlayer the legend of heroes are not on that USA list :(
man, the amount of "why?" posts on page 1 shows why this is needed - too many of y'all slept on this fantastic library
this and a saturn mini would be so cool, so many absolute classics stuck on both systems (and both libraries have gotten crazy expensive in recent years too)
Well, Rondo is on the PC Engine Mini at least, but it being on the TurboGrafX Mini would had been a surprise.Of the feasible games that could be on this, I really want Blazing Lazers and Bonk's Revenge. And Air Zonk. Pretty sure that'll be on there.
It's too bad Ys IV and Rondo of Blood probably aren't coming, since the never did come out in English, although Rondo could still happen, I duppose. Ys IV is a wonderful game, though. It's far less cryptic than Ys 1&2
