I’m fine with the mini consoles—even though there are a ton of them now—as long as they’re not dogshit like the PlayStation classic and yes, the neo geo mini.

The Playstation classic is dogshit out of the box, but you can mod it to make it better, a lot better.

Well they bought Hudson, who developed 90% of it. They even designed the hardware. Brilliant company. It’s a shame that they’re no more.

I can at least say that Konami seems to be treating the property fairly well so far. The switch bomberman game is pretty good, and well supported.

I never got around to getting a ps classic. But I'd heard people weren't fans. What was the issue with them?

Like stated emulation is poor. With Autobleem on a USB stick you can at least run most games with 57 Hz. I would recommend a Pi instead of a PS Classic when you go down the emulation route.

Well that's some shit. Especially with stuff like ePSXe and whatever running pretty much 101%, youd think the PSClassic would be top of the line.

Good list of games, better than I'd guess most people (including me) would have expected.

Konami is going to sell it solely on Amazon, with preorders starting on Prime Day. Not a fan of that.

It’s a good list of games but really wish Bonk 1 and Gates of Thunder were on it.

My most wanted were Lords and Gates of Thunder. I got 1 at least. I'll still buy it

It's pretty much a guarantee it will be hacked like every single other "mini" - so you can add GoT later for sure ;)

I'm honestly hoping these USB controllers will work with Raspberry Pi setups as well.

That's true, discussing game selections for the Minis is fun, but works only on a pure symbolical level. Thankfully.

Preordered one. I had forgotten just how far out the release date is- 8 months' lead time is longer than it's been for most brand new consoles that I can remember.
