MINIFAQ:

Q: "OMG collecting for the Turbo is gonna get expensive now!!!"
A: IT ALREADY IS, YOU f*ck! Also this is not likely to have a long-lasting effect and his fans are not likely to pay high prices for said games. They'll emulate or most likely watch Youtube videos.

Q: "Our forum is gonna become shit!"
A: Ain't no one gonna register for these forums because of Kanye.

Q: "What will be the long-reaching effects of this?"
A: Not much, just some cool notoriety that someone who's currently famous actually has legitimate fond memories of a great system. Should we throw contempt his way for liking the Turbo? That would make us a horrible community. The biggest impact is that there will be lots of searches on Google and Youtube for "Turbo Grafx 16". This might last a few days. Kanye will increase the $$$ in my wallet next month. I will buy a yacht despite being in a landlocked state.

Rappers are going to be throwing turbo chips at the strippers now, and you dont think prices are going up? And where do you think said rappers will source this site for these chips? Hmmmm? Well, prepare for rap battles and gang violence, because this shit is going down for real. Throwing bones is too old school, hucking hueys is the next rage, fo sho.


EDIT: I am sorry to anyone this post offended, I did not mean to imply that somehow Kanye's race is related to being a gangster. I grew up listening to a lot of hip-hop and this was a joke about how within rap circles during the era of the turbo there were a lot of beefs and rap battles etc, so I thought it was a funny analogy, but I don't mean to offend anyone, and apologize to anyone who lost friends or family during the rap violence in the 90's and early 2000's. PM me if this post was offensive and I'll gladly remove the post above, but will leave it up as not to hide my mistakes. Sorry everyone.

POP CULTURE SHELLSHOCK:
I still am in shock. Flabbergasted.  This is a joke, correct?

Also, I *can* and *can't* believe how much mainstream pop culture pulls from the glorious 1980's.

I'm just getting old.  Marketing/commoditizing childhood memories is a well-crafted art at this point. We certainly aren't the first generation to experience it...




BREAKING NEWS:
Comrade West joins the esteemed Macaulay Culkin in publicly (and sincerely) expressing a passion for TurboGrafx-16. Comrade Culkin professed 25 years ago.

To be honest, I think it's great that folks are "coming out of the closet" and "confessing" that they enjoyed the damn TurboGrafx-16.

DELUGE OF SELF-PROFESSING TG-16 fans in 3...2...1...




TRUTH:
Comrade Kanye can single-handedly take a niche item and push it much closer (or totally into) mainstream pop culture.

This is bittersweet and ~30 years too late, IMHO.

TG-16 needed a huge pop star back in 1989 to boost sales.

Think.
About.
It.

Tengai Makyou II might have been localized.

And that's just the beginning. 

Australius could have been localized.

In my beautiful mind.
In my alt.universe





BLAZING LAZERS FANS, UNITE:
I really don't know any of his music (I am sure I have heard something), but if Kanye likes Blazing Lazers...then I will hug him proudly when I see him.

Of course, Kanye is following other musicians who were inspired by Sega and TG-16. Good old Matthew Sweet had an album entitled "Altered Beast" (he was a Sega and TG-16 supporter).



CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS
I thought FEKA had the support of the biggest and best celebrities. FEKA's marketing for Genesis was unstoppable.

I always felt I would go to my grave knowing that...

FEKA = Michael Jackson & first-tier Disney.

TG-16 = Nobody & third-tier Disney.

But, now?

COMRADE KANYE = TG-16's Moonwalker

Our King of Pop.

Our Saviour from L'Obscurité.




THE TWEET HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD:
'Nuff said.

Blazing lazers is the shit. So kudos for a good name drop. That music is just epic.

I agree with its cool to get the lime light, but might make prices go higher than before. its a meh moment. A win in a sense, but mainly just meh.
