Did anyone ever pick up the mini Turbo/Coregrafx/PCEngine thing? It seems to be out everywhere now, but not entirely available, at least not in EU. I really want one. Never ordered a console from Play-Asia before but this could very well be that moment... I haven't picked it up myself (heard nothing but good things though and the lineup is good), but I just wanted to mention you should be prepared to wait a while for receipt if ordering from Play Asia. I ordered it! So very spontaneous. It wasn’t cheap after adding shipping, taxes and whatnot... But yeah, if only it arrives before xmas I’m happy, hehe

Another odd mobile game crossover event...

Yeah, that sounds like my experience with play asia but if you know all that in advance it's not really a problem. I hope you have a good time with it anyway. I've been having another look at the lineup and there's a good few of my favourite PCE games on there.

I haven't really used Play-Asia for about 10 years or so. I don't think their shipping was really that costy, but that could have changed over time or it is another Corona thing. I know importing from Japan has gotten really costy due to it at least, so from China is probably the same.
So has the PC Engine Mini proberly released yet? There was this whole snafu about it being pusehd back yet Youtubers already had review copies so a lot of these videos came out when seemingly no one could buy any? Then it was released in smaller quantities or something? Could never see through that mess tbh. But that is very on brand for the system I think, especially for Europe xD

It did get released world wide already. The NA and Europe releases were in May and it already seems to be sold out.

But that is very on brand for the system I think, especially for Europe xD I bought from Playasia last year so before lockdown. It was the Persona 5 vinyl set which was pretty pricey anyway. The cheapest shipping option was over £20. I could pay more to get it quicker, of course. My main annoyance was that they sat on the order for 3 weeks before dispatching it. Now when I received it I was happy, but they wouldn't be my first choice given an option. The mini did release but in limited quantities is my understanding. The messaging was pretty confusing though. Edit: darn, dsparil beat me to it. Detective Pikachu always on the case it seems.

Add Suikoden to the list of games getting a spiritual successor (several of the original team members are even involved)...

Definitely has my attention! It's been long overdue, considering the last numbered Genso Suikoden was 5 on PS2!

I pre-ordered a Turbografx Mini last year... and that got delayed until I received it finally in early June. In between I got so anxious, I actually signed up for a Amazon Japan account, and ended up getting both, the CoreGrafx Mini and PC-Engine Mini. I believe Japan did not experience much in the way of delays, as far as the Mini release goes.

A Suikoden successor? Well I NEVER.....
I remember when we didn’t need spiritual successors to every other Konami franchise.

Don't like the "Eiyuden" part though. That's already the name of a different RPG series.
