Konami announces the TurboGrafx-16 Mini (UP: list of games revealed - see threadmark)
- Thread starter vestan

It's going to be a MASSIVE missed opportunity if Rondo isn't included on all three versions of this. It's legitimately one of the best games ever made.
the soundtracks rip.
i like the retro 80s anime aesthetic more than Falcom's new stuff.
Understandable
Is there any of them that is still exclusive?
Also I am not ready to face Dark Fact again lol
I played the remakes on psp and he was a pain. Those games have outstanding soundtracks
I think it has the best music of any version of I & II still.
Exclusive to the turbo? There's a version of Ys IV, yes.
Youve not faced the true Dark Fact til you play Ys on their highest difficulties...in the modern remakes. In the original games, you're likely gonna need everyone's energy.
me and my buddy spent an entire weekend taking turns to beat him on the Turbo CD one lmao
I did not expect this, but Ys and the overall aesthetics of the TG16 have me wanting this. If they do the right thing and get Rondo on the U.S. version (Bomberman '94 would be a big get, too), I am in.
The best game in the series is:
'
It will never, ever come out in a compilation like this, though, not least of which because it was never officially translated.
If I remember correctly he did not really have a pattern.
Of the first 2 I prefer book 2. On psp I thought both looked gorgeous, better then the later remakes where they mixed 3d environment with 2d sprites.
Of what I played I'd rank them
Origin>7>2>Felghana>1>Celceta>Naphistism
I have yet to play 8
Rondo is shown in the background of the US TG16 trailer, so hopefully that's a confirmation of its inclusion.
He does. He moves from the left side of the screen till he hits the right side of the screen, then moves right till he hits the left side of the screen, and so forth. Simultaneously, he moves down until he hits the bottom of the screen, then he moves up till he hits the top of the screen, and so forth.
Has there been any indication Tengai Makyou (even just Japanese side) will be on it? Might make me bite if it does...
The bricks disappear where you hit him. And the fireballs come from the opposite direction that you are walking at the time. The entire battle is actually reactionary to you, the player. It's totally not random.
EDIT: Also, if you max out your level, the final boss battles in every Ys game become pretty easy.
The PC Engine version of Ys Book I has the absolute best version of this song:
This version of Palace blows away all others, including the later remakes

Oh got it
From videos on youtube he seems easier on turbografx. He's way slower and shoots less projectiles
almost posted this one too lmao
jesus christ this game. THIS SYSTEM. i hope it comes out this year.
Whats funny is that the PC Engine version was a significant difficulty boost over the original versions. On the PC-88 and MSX and NES and SMS, the blocks don't disappear at all when you hit them, that was added for the PC Engine version, and there is only ever 1 fireball on screen at once. In the original versions of the game, the boss is an extreme pushover.
I used to hate this type of attack when I first played Ys on SMS and TGCD. Now I would never change it. It works really well.
I remember the first time I beat Ys I on the Turbo Grafx CD. I had already beaten Ys I on the Sega Master System years and years ago, but had never even heard of Ys II until I got into the TG16 in the late 90's. The cutscene between Ys I and Ys II, even after things like Final Fantasy VII had come out, blew me the hell away:
This is one of the hypest intros to a game I've ever seen. It's crazy that I got hyped over a game I'd already beaten over a decade prior, all over again, just from that cutscene.
The difficulty made him memorable though. It's the only Ys final boss I remember the name of.
Once you realize you have to attack diagonally it becomes second nature and not an issue anymore.
I hope they add Star Parodier to this. Secretly the best game in the entire Star Soldier franchise.
My uncle, who used to be the kind of dude that bought every piece of tech when it came out, had the game back in 1990 or so. I remember being entranced by the intro and just listening to the music in the field.
tangentially related, he also had one of those early widescreen tvs and a laser disc player and i remember playing Ys on a little gaming set up while Aliens played on the tv.
YES
I impulse bought it on Wii VC nearly a decade ago and it blew me the fuck away just how well it fared against the mainline games.
Yeah, those Ys intros were crazy. I remember people being in awe at an in-store display given how new CD-ROM was. A lot of people were used to just playing NES games at the time, and it was in another technology league.
On that note, I did previously make a thread on why NES fans should play the TG16, if anyone's interested.

The very first laser disc I ever saw was Alien, it was at my brother's place like a week after he moved out post graduation. I was hanging out with my brother and his new roommate had a laser disc player. Neither of us had ever heard of laser disc so he popped in Alien for us to watch.
Years and years later, when I'd get my own LD player, Alien was the first thing I picked up specifically because of that.
there are actually a bunch of really great TG-16/PC Engine games, they just never get brought up. If people like the SNES, they'll find stuff they like on the PC Engine.
I didn't think id ever want any of these but i never considered this. This is the one i want. My substantial collection has absolutely no pc engine things. Unfortunate. This will be nice. A little more authentic than the usual emulator. Something like a working scale model of a turbo.
I would like a turboduo shell, tho.

is that the entire supergrafx library in the left stack lol
it is the dominant art-style of the PC-Engine library. you're in luck if you're not so familiar with it.
No, I'm missing Darius Alpha, which was limited to just 800 copies.
i guess that counts. i saw it behind the case at Super Potato back in 2005 for like 100,000 yen. it's probably higher now.
I've seen a few games, but never been in a position to collect any, so yeah this is much more exciting to me than the Genesis mini. Nothing against my Sega brethren, but I've had dozens of places to play that catalog when I want to.
the Mega Drive/Genesis is my favorite console and I'm even more excited by this system simply because it's so unexpected. literally nothing prepared me for this.
I got my PC Engine Duo for christmas in the late 90's along with this game:
I still think this looks better than most DBZ games released today.
i bought this (and Dracula X) with my Japanese PC-Engine w/ CD when i got it the first time i went to japan in 2001.
I need to gather up my PC Engine/Turbo Grafx stuff in one picture. I have a PC Engine Duo, a PC Engine Duo R, a Core Engine, a PC Engine, a PC Engine CD-Rom^2 in the briefcase, a Turbo Express, a Turbo Grafx 16, a Turbo CD, a Turbo Booster Plus, and a Super Grafx. Oh, and earlier this year I got one of those Super SD3 ODEs.
Fuck I love the PC Engine.
Fuck I love the PC Engine.
Whoa...I certainly didn't expect this...
They did say "and more..."
They did say "and more..."
Time is a circle I guess. Same as "oh great I can watch all my favorite shows and movies in one place" to "oh yay I am subscribed to HBO, Disney, Netflix, Hulu...."
After buying the PS Classic on the cheap with only interests of hacking it (same reason I was sold on the SNES Classic) I really wonder who is buying these things without the intention of adding more and more games.
i really wish i didn't sell my pc-engine collection. i really miss my PC-Engine GT.
The Playstation classic has to be hacked in order to be a good value proposition, the games fucking suck on it otherwise.
I'm more interested in the curation of these consoles more than i am in hacking/expanding them.
