    No argument here, ha ha. I personally wind up modding these things anyway, so the only limitations I dislike are hardware.

    I all most did consider buying one from amazon jpn but i decided against it.Since that would have meant spending more money to import it and shipping to.Beside the fact japan post has stop shipping internationally temporary,since now it's just being handle by DHL.Anyways if this date holds then i'm fine with it's u.s release for may.

    Best way to play the real deal is to get a PC Engine. The system wasn't successful enough in the US for much of anything to be plentiful enough to stay cheap. The Japanese releases are way cheaper, and in most cases, language isn't a barrier. Most of the text-heavy games never got a US release to begin with.

    Same here. I actually did hook mine up today and played Bonk's Revenge, which is about the only game I have worth playing.

    I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I hear there also several other "secret" games that can be unlocked by using certain button presses when starting the system, games, etc...

    Either mod the system and have a region switch put in or import a pce instead.Mostly cause,japanese release's for some games can be much cheaper in price.The other option buy a turbo everdrive flash cart since that will let you play most of the hucard titles.I have a decent size collection of my hucards myself "but i still use a everdrive to play the more expensive titles" or for games that have a fan translation.

    Bump anyone else get a TG16 mini ? I got mine last month and i have been enjoying it and it's ui is simple enough to use.Also i agree with most reviewers say about the input lag and shimmer,some games have it while others do not.It doesn't make most unplayable but it's there and can be kind of annoying.I found the worst input lag for lords of thunder good luck there trying to 1cc it.All in all M2 came close enough in the emulation.My most gripe is snatcher being only in japanese it's to bad konami couldn't have hack it to included the sega-cd translation.I've also heard "the hacks are being worked on" so maybe that can improve the emulation even more.If you're looking for a official way to play TG16/PCE without breaking the bank then the TG16 mini is the way to go.So far i'm satisfy with my purchase plus it gives me another way to play it on a hdtv.

    I'd like to get an example of the TG-16 Mini, but they appear to be sold out on Amazon, which states that it is "Available From These Sellers", who apparently have "9 New from $197.50". Hopefully, they won't be as hard to find from non-scalpers as the NES/SNES Mini was for a long time..........
