Shift into Turbo

(ignore the "to Wii U" part)

Welp, that's the end of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. However, it left us with an earth-shaking, jaw-dropping, pants-soiling revelation... Konami is planning a mini console that plays games from the Turbografx-16 library. Why Konami? They bought Hudson Soft, the previous owner of the console and its library, fifteen years ago. Why a mini Turbografx? It's the current fad... bite-sized consoles are easy to manufacture and a quick way to cash in on the nostalgia of gamers. What games will be included? Konami is being coy about this... they've revealed just six so far, but we do know that it'll play both Turbochip and CD-ROM games. Games like R-Type!

And Ninja Spirit!

And Dungeon Explorer, which, uh...

I don't know what to say about that one. We don't know what else we'll be getting, beyond the six games Konami mentioned in the press release. Hopefully they'll pass on duds like Vigilante.

And for that matter, China Warrior, which launched with the PC Engine in 1987.

If we're lucky, perhaps we'll get Hudson's Zeld-a-like Neutopia.

Uh, Clyde, that was Neutopia. If Konami is feeling really generous, maybe they'll put their differences with Capcom aside and give us Street Fighter II: Champion Edition.

You know, because Guile says "Ru-Paul" when he's knocked out in one of the later games. Now you made me explain the joke! I hope you're happy!

Will the Turbografx-16 Mini be one of the better mini consoles available, or just another AtGames-caliber dud? Who cares... it gave me an excuse to recycle all these old Miiverse drawings.
