The quality of this console is fantastic! You have two USB connections in the front, with a nice power switch in the center. The added Turbo Booster is removable to plug in both power and HDMI. One issue I have is the booster. It is removable, but it is not easy having everything plugged in while keeping that piece on. A bit of an annoyance, but it’s nothing major. Some people hate the lack of a power brick, but seriously people! You prolly have a dozen 5v power blocks all over your home! With me, I wanted the whole package! I pre-ordered early last year with the console, power block, 4 extra controllers, and the multi tap. I finally got mine a few weeks ago in parts, but Covid messed up a lot.
How are the games? You get a large amount of top rated TG16 games including some great Japanese only titles. From Bomberman and Neutopia to Castlevania and Dragon Spirit! Fantastic game collection! Even tho the Japanese games are in Japanese, most are easy to figure out if you can’t read Japanese. I love the game selection screen! You have nicely animated characters flying around the screen and the music is nice. My favorite to see is when you choose a game! The HuCard loads into the unit and it starts! If it’s a PC Engine CD game, you get to see the HuCard System load followed by a cd spinning and lastly the game loading. It’s the best loading I e seen on a mini console to date! This was very well made!
How are the controllers and accessories? Hori is a company always known for great controllers, and that’s what you get with this great console! They feel good in your hands, not flimsy or cheap! If you ever owned a TG16, PC Engine or Core Grafx, you will love holding these newly made controllers. The cord length is the same as it originally was back in 1988.
Overall this is a fantastic not so mini console. It feels great, games load and play beautifully , you get great accessories and a wonderfully remade box! It’s my favorite of the minis!
The console comes preloaded with 57 classic titles, including fan favorites like Bonk's Adventure, R-Type, and Ninja Spirit. The console's interface is user-friendly, and navigating through the game library is easy. The console also comes with two controllers that feel sturdy and responsive, and the buttons have a satisfying click when pressed.
The console's design is also a standout feature. It's compact and stylish, and it fits nicely into any setup. The console's graphics are sharp and crisp, and the games run smoothly. The console also has a save state feature, which allows the player to save their progress at any point in the game, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
One of the best things about TurboGrafx-16 Mini is that it's a console that doesn't take itself too seriously. The console has a quirky and fun feel to it, and the games reflect that. Whether you're battling aliens in Cosmic Fantasy 2 or navigating a haunted house in Splatterhouse, the games on this console are sure to bring a smile to your face.
Overall, TurboGrafx-16 Mini is a great console for retro gaming enthusiasts. The console is packed with classic titles that offer hours of fun, and the console's design and interface make it a joy to use. Whether you're reliving the glory days of gaming or discovering these classic titles for the first time, this console is a must-have for any retro gaming fan.
The first thing I noticed was how fast and fluid the menu is for loading games. The second thing I noticed is how FAST the games are. Back in the day, the Turbo Graphics had one of the fastest 8 bit processors in the world. While SEGA and Nintendo were crowed about the benefits of 16 bit central processing and bandwidth, the Turbo went in a different direction. Instead of a slooooow 16 bit processor they paired a FAST 8 bit processor with 16 bit graphics processor. And what you get is...
Playing Sapphire doesn't feel like some clunky, slow, bland old game. It feels like an arcade game. That same level of fast, fluid, colorful graphics that is common to expensive arcade machines is what you feel. The ship doesn't feel sluggish. The colors pop off the screen. It's simply amazing.
Playing other games gives the same feeling. They are just so...FAST. And so incredibly colorful.
I owned many of these games already on the Wii Virtual Console but the sharpness here puts it to shame. This is the way these games were meant to be seen, in crystal clear, bright, sharp, high fidelity.
The console itself has a few issues (Who cares about needing a phone charger? Doesn't everyone have fifty in a desk drawer somewhere?), but one you DO get the cables and back cover seated right you likely won't have to ever worry about that again.
The controller is a bit stiff but people who know say it's VERY close to the original. It has has the turbo function and a wonderful long cable (yes!).
The overall experience is absolutely fantastic. I get to play games that not only were only released on the TG-16 but many that were Japan-only, hard-to-find, and now quite expensive.
I love shoot-em-ups more than any other genre of game, and if you feel the same you absolutely owe it to yourself to get the best Mini Console ever made.
You can get Mario Bros and Sonic anywhere, you don't need a Mini Console for that. Try getting Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire some other way. Good luck with that unless you enjoy building out Raspberry Pi solutions in your garage.

Me quedé impresionado por lo divertidos e impresionantes que lucian sus juegos comparados con otras consolas de la época. Personajes grandes, gráficos coloridos, un sonido decente (quizá un punto débil) y sobre todo la diversión de su multijugador en Bomberman. Hasta 5 al mismo tiempo.
Ahora bien, está consola está muy detallada, buenos materiales, el control es excelente (solo viene uno) y una interfaz muy bien diseñada. Los juegos, cómo era de esperarse son muy buenos unos de Cartucho y otros de CD, Castlevania es soberbio, aventure island un clásico, Neutopia un clon de Zelda que tiene méritos propios, Bomberman el multijugador por excelencia, Chew man fu sorprendentemente adictivo, victory Run, etc
Pero no todo es color de rosa. Incluye HDMI y USB para la alimentación, sin embargo no incluye fuente de poder o cargador. Técnicamente puedes usar cualquiera pero si puedes usar uno, asegúrate que sea de buena calidad o puedes adquirir el Cargador Hori oficial.
Cómo mencionaba, solo incluye un control. Uno muy bueno, eso sí. Y puedes conectar hasta 2 directamente. Pero ello implica que antes de armar tu fiesta de Bomberman, necesitarás comprar el Multitap Hori (créeme los Hubs USB no funcionan) y evidentemente los controles, pero no cualquier control... Solo los controles Hori se pueden acoplar sin problema, pero los 8bitdo no se pueden usar fácilmente con el Multitap; el espacio entre puertos es muy pequeño para conectar dos adaptadores juntos, ni que decir 5 controles.
Así que para dos jugadores los controles 8bitdo y/o Hori, están excelentes. Para 3 en adelante, además del Multitap, necesitarás usar Solo Hori o mezclar algunos 8bitdo y Hori (2 de uno y 3 de otro). También se dice que los controles de génesis de Retrobit y el control mini de PS4 de Retrobit son compatibles.
Sin embargo, hablando solo de este producto en si. Grandes juegos, muchos detalles para la nostalgia, gran mini consola.
Finalmente la compré y no me arrepiento, ademas del juego mencionado, incluye muchos otros muy buenos, varios son de naves y disparos y también son entretenidos.
La consola es de buena calidad al igual que el control, solo tomen en cuenta que necesitarán un adaptador usb para conectarla a la corriente, no se preocupen, casi cualquiera de celular les funcionara.
Sus puntos no tan a favor son la poca variedad de géneros de juegos, hay algunos que son algo malos y no tendrían que estar y algunos vienen en su versión para el Mercado japonés.
De cualquier forma, si eres videojugador, no importa que seas seguidor o no de la compañía, está es una compra más que justificada, siempre y cuando la consigan al precio normal y no al que luego ofrecen los revendedores.
