It’s a solid lineup to be sure, with many serious standouts. First, there’s Snatcher, a mystery adventure game directed byย Metal Gearย series creator Hideo Kojima, which only ever saw a limited release on the Sega CD in the West. Then there’sย Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, which is considered by some to be the best traditional installment in the Castlevaniaย series. Not to mention multiple solid space shooters including multipleย Gradiusย titles, the early Sega hitย Fantasy Zone, which gave us their first mascot Opa-Opa, and the classic 3D-twist on the 2D shooter formula with Space Harrier.
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini will launch March 19th, 2020, and will be available for purchase exclusively on Amazon.
