Turbografx-Mini coming to the US in 2018? (Fantasy OBEY)
« on: June 27, 2017, 04:06:07 AM »
It's not.  But, Konami did file for a trademark of "Turbografx-16" this year, so mayhaps they're planning something?  Who knows...

But, just playing fantasy TG world here, with the NES and SNES Mini's hitting the market, would you want to see a Turbografx-Mini?  Would you buy one?  The SNES mini is coming packed with 21 games.  Some of the best games that showcase the system's most popular games. 

What would you choose for the 21 games to be included in your Turbografx-Mini?

Let's say this, you get 20 games (HuCard, CD, or even SCD) ALL US TITLES, and then you get the choice of any unreleased PCE (HuCard, CD, SCD) JAPAN ONLY game.  What is your perfect selection for the TG-Mini?

I think you'd have to make sure you had some coverage of emblematic games for the system, even if there are some better ones available. For example, I don't think you can leave off Keith Courage.

I'd say:

1. Keith Courage in Alpha Zones
2. R-Type
3. Blazing Lazers
4. Bonk's Revenge
5. Air Zonk
6. Neutopia
7. Bomberman '93
8. Devil's Crush
9. Dungeon Explorer II
10. Gate of Thunder
11. Lords of Thunder
12. Military Madness
13. Parasol Stars
14. Ys Book I & II
15. Cosmic Fantasy 2
16. Magical Chase
17. Legendary Axe (or LA II)
18. Ninja Spirit
19. Splatterhouse
20. Ys III (if only for the soundtrack)

JP game: I can't see this being anything other than Dracula X.

Edited to switch out Bonk's Adventure for Splatterhouse.

There's games I have yet to experience, but from my current standpoint I would pick these. It's hard to balance out the different genres, especially genres you're not 100% with. For me that's sports and point/click adventures.
Hard to narrow down 5 shooters, although it would probably be naturally out of balance as that's what people remember the TG16 by.

1. Bonk 1
2. Devils Crush
3. Neutopia 1
4. Soldier Blade
5. Y's book 1&2
6. Parasol Stars
7. Magical Chase
8. Dragon's Curse
9. Legendary Axe
10. Beyond shadowgate
11. Dungeon explorer 2
12. Final Twin Lap
13. Ninja Spirit
14. Air Zonk
15. Dragon Slayyyaaa
16. Bomberman 93
17. Cotton
18. Splatter house
19. Lords of Thunder
20. World court tennis

(insert Dracula X hype)

I like BT's list, except I'd jettison Lords of the Rising Sun for Godzilla.

Only one JP-only game really limits my choices... I mean seriously, I'd totally want Street Fighter II, Bomberman '94, Dracula X, Detana Twinbee and Valkyrie no Densetsu in there! (To name a few) But oh well, let's see...

1 - Bonk's Adventure
2 - Bonk's Revenge
3 - Air Zonk
4 - Gate of Thunder
5 - Lords of Thunder
6 - Magical Chase
7 - Cotton Fantastic Night Dreams
8 - Super Star Soldier
9 - Soldier Blade
10 - Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
11 - New Adventure Island
12 - The Legendary Axe 2
13 - Ninja Spirit
14 - Neutopia
15 - Dragon's Curse
16 - Ys books 1 and 2
17 - Ys III Wanderers from Ys
18 - Bomberman '93
19 - Bloody Wolf
20 - Devil's Crush

JP-only game - Asuka 120% Maxima Burning Fest
As a big Fighting game fan I just HAD to have one in there, I know Dracula X would be the one game to get everyone hyped, and I know I could have picked Street Fighter II since it's the more iconic fighting game, but honestly, Asuka is better than Street Fighter IMO, it can be played with only 2 buttons, you can already play Street Fighter II in practically every other game system ever, and personally, Asuka is the game that would get me hyped the most! (Yes, even more than Dracula X)

Side note, isn't it weird how most fighting games on the system require an arcade card, but the two best ones don't? I mean, SF2 is a Hu-Card game and Asuka is a Super CD-ROMĀ² game, and they both wipe the floor with practically everything else on the system! Not that the other fighters on the system are bad, well, 3 of them are, but the rest are all at least okay, but seriously, Asuka and SF2 just are better...

NOT ONE LIST HAS CHINA WARRIOR ON IT.

Look mate, I like China Warrior too, probably more than the average PCE fan, but when we can only pick 20 US games + 1 JP-only/Unreleased game we have to draw the line somewhere, and China Warrior just doesn't quite make it >w>

But if it does for you, then hey, more power to you! Heck, why not make your own list with it included?

I think you may be playing China Warrior wrong.   It's a rhythm game basically.
