by Rainier on Aug. 8, 2019 @ 1:48 p.m. PDT

TurboGrafx-16 mini is a compact version of the classic 1980s console, pre-loaded with dozens of retro games.

The original consoles were well-known for introducing several historical firsts, including the first console with a CD-ROM add-on and the first console to offer multi-tap support for up to five players. More than that however, the consoles became a collector’s favorite thanks to their quality games line-up; many of which will be included in this re-release.

Now even smaller compared to the original, the console will fit in the palm of your hand and feature a full-sized controller. 

Konami Digital Entertainment has revealed that an additional seven titles will be added to the game line-up for the upcoming TurboGrafx-16 mini console. The additional titles include cult horror beat ‘em up Splatterhouse, classic shooter Galaga ‘88 and fantasy shoot ‘em up Seirei Senshi Spriggan.

The compact version of the classic 1987 console currently now features a range of 57 retro games containing select titles that overlap with both the PC Engine Core Grafx and PC Engine lineup.
