Konami Files Trademark for Turbografx

[KingDrool]

I lifted this from this thread on NeoGAF. Not sure if it means anything, but it could mean they are going to once again/continue to release Turbo games on digital platforms (Switch?).

Bonus side conversation/what-if-scenario: What if Konami decides to make a TurboGrafx-Mini, like what Nintendo did. What would you like to see? Which thirty games would they include? Would it be a replica of the original, or would they pop in a second controller?

Very interesting.

[Black Tiger]

It's probably just to retain control over it and be able to stop peopke like Kanye West from using it without permission.

You think Kanye would really title his album TurboGrafx?

Maybe they're gonna update their offerings on PSN, at least making them available on PS4.

As for dreams of a mini, I'd want wireless controllers with extras available separately.  For games, I'd like Aero Blasters, Air Zonk, Alien Crush, Blazing Lazers, Bomberman '93, Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, Bonk's Big Adventure, Cadash, Chew-Man-Fu, Dead Moon, Devil's Crush, Dragon's Curse, Dungeon Explorer, Galaga '90, Keith Courage, Legendary Axe, Legendary Axe II, Magical Chase, Military Madness, Neutopia, Neutopia 2, Ninja Spirit, Order Of The Griffon, Parasol Star, Soldier Blade, Somer Assault, Splatterhouse, Super Star Soldier, and Time Cruise.  My list should probably have more variety, with some sports games or something, but it's hard to pick when you're limited to just 30.

PC-Engine already is the TG-16 mini

All i want for christmas is a BONK RPG

[Desh]

This is current Konami... we're not talking about when they were the awesome kick ass old school Konami.  They only know how to sit on and or shit on their old IPs and basically do nothing with them.  In the rare event they do something it's lame sauce.  Let's all sing together (to the little old Konami jingle when their name would flash at the title) Fu u u u u uck you!

Pachinko controllers for PCE are available.

Konami has become Atari. Which I never thought I would ever say.

[BlackandBlue]

The PCE was released in 1987, so a 30th anniversary console (like the NES mini) would make sense.  Especially with how well these retro games have been selling for the past few years.  As long as its not like the Neo Geo X (which sold like crap, but the idea was well executed).

Would rather just have a new turbografx handheld

I think it is for this. Although I would like to see Konami do something with all those games like put them on the PS4, Vita and Steam.

[Bonknuts]

I already have a TG16 mini.. sort of (Ras Pi 3.. in the mail!). I just need a mini TG16 case for it.
