Jun 25, 2020 09:00 BST KONAMI PC ENGINE CORE GRAFX MINI CONSOLE NOW SHIPPING
Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V. today announced that the PC Engine Core Grafx mini – a compact version of the classic 1987 console featuring 57 games – is now shipping to all customers.
The console is available exclusively on Amazon for £99.99 / €109.99 RRP.
• Amazon UK – LINK • Amazon FR – LINK • Amazon IT – LINK A diverse range of classic and obscure titles spanning the regional TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine libraries are available on the PC Engine Core Grafx mini, including R-Type, Bomberman ’93, Space Harrier and Hideo Kojima’s Snatcher.
PC Engine Core Grafx mini is available in select European countries. Two additional regional variants - the TurboGrafx-16 mini in North America and PC Engine mini in Japan – are also available, reflecting the console’s original releases.
The original consoles were well-known for introducing several historical firsts, including being 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 favourite thanks to their quality game line-up; many of which are included in this re-release.
Reviews have described the PC Engine Core Grafx mini as a "great retro console" (Express.co.uk) that is “like unlocking a secret gaming history” (GAMINGbible). There’s also been hefty praise for its library of games, describing them “excellent translations of the console’s best titles” (The Guardian).
