I really hope we get a dreamcast mini
GOLDEN PANDA agreed!!!
The dreamcast mini is a good idea.
@@asmodeusasmodeus8617 It would be a perfect opportunity to rerelease Marvel vs. Capcom 2
@@asmodeusasmodeus8617 true
My favourite console of all time! It would be awesome to have games like Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Power Stone, Metropolis Street Racer etc on there. I would buy that in a heartbeat!
I'd love to see an N64 mini with 4 controllers and GoldenEye. That would be insane.
Kouillu Le Karibou it's coming soon
I think the main reason why we're not getting an N64 mini is because so many of the classics, Rare most notably, were third-party. And even worse, Rare's owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft's already released Rare Replay for the XOne. (To be fair though, Rare Replay was pretty well done.) So yeah, an N64 mini with only DK64 from the main Rare collection would be really lame.
GoldenEye has aged like bad wine. But there are other games on there that have aged much better.
Are we not pretty much guaranteed that game wont be on a “classic” because of james bond copyright
GoldenEye is practically impossible. The game partially belongs to Rare, who belongs to Microsoft, but they don't have the James Bond license anymore.
Besides, I never understood what made it so popular. PCs had much better first person shooters at the time, and the game hasn't aged well at all.
Its sad that the dream cast didn't make it big. It was one of my favorite. I remember right before launching the online side of dreamcast they deciceded to cease production of games, and was pretty much the end of it.
The dreamcast was fine, but it wasn't that much better than a Saturn. I had both and used the Saturn more.
It put NBA2K and online console gaming on the map. That was more than enough.
@@wesdoobner7521 lol what? you're crazy
@@wesdoobner7521probably cause they didn't give it enough love
I have the Mega Drive mini, it's very nice and what I like is that they have regular USB controller inputs. Using Project Lunar I clocked it at 1.3 Ghz (for some reason they clocked it down to 1Ghz) and have my own selection of added games. To me the big plus of the SNES version is that it comes with a 2 Ghz processor which should have better emulation performance options. I do think you can use Hackchi on it to emulate other game consoles and add games, but in order to use other controllers as well as a thumb drive you need to use an OTG hub. Of course, the SNES controllers come with 6 buttons so for most emulations they would suffice as well.
If they make a Dreamcast mini, I will be all over that! “Hey, hey, hey! It’s time to make some C-RAZY money!”
*Then maybe SEGA come back and go back to their factories and make Dreamcast 2 or 3 LOL* ⭐️
There are very good mods for the Dreamcast now, like the GDEMU and the DCHDMI. I think Sega should build a Dreamcast on a chip, and create a Dreamcast mini with all of these mods. I would buy one or even 2. With a good selection of Dreamcast games.... it should sell like pancakes!
Same....and next for Nintendo will obviously be the N64 Classic....
Lunar Vania *without a doubt!* ⭐️
For real. As well as an N64 with a better working controller than the original.
Nintendo 64 Mini, Sega Dreamcast mini.
That's all I need.
Yes please!
Yup. I still have my DC (VGA) and N64 (Ultra HDMI) Hooked up. Best consoles of all time.
Yes when is the Dreamcast coming out
I agree 100%
@@michaelthebarbarian3380 VGA is analog. It woupd be nice if your DC was AT LEAST DVi. Then it would be a digital signal.
I forgot all about the Turbo Graphix 16. I remember as a kid my neighbors uncle brought one over when he came to visit, and it blew our minds. I thought the games on those thinner cards was the coolest thing. I've got the SNES and Sega mini's and love them. Didn't know they came out with wireless controllers, so thank you very much for that tid-bit!
Love your channel man, thank you for making a video including all the mini classics. It makes it easier to choose which one to buy. Thank you MetalJesusRocks
You are currently the only one on CZcams who has made a current video about the mini consoles. With the PC Engine you have all the real mini consoles in your video and no strange (Capcom) sticks. Thanks for your very good work!
I do enjoy most of the mini consoles. Hopefully we’ll get a Dreamcast, Saturn, and N64 mini.
me too, me too, still need to get me a turbogrfx mini
DC and Saturn would actually be the only mini consoles I would buy
Gez Fry is get these and an N64 one. They are pain in the ass to emulate 😅
a dreamcast mini would be a real craze
The Resurgence 2.0 sure thing, lots of talk on a Dreamcast Mini, one of my favorite. Including the N64
I loved this video so much! Instant subscribe! I'd love to see a video about some of the hackings for these consoles as well modded accessories (like the 8bitdo and OTG adapter), thank you!
The SNES mini is incredible because you can easily hack it and include many more games (the included memory fits all NES/Master System and a decently large selection of Genesis + SNES games). And these other games and systems operate with the same intuitive menu system and save game functionality etc, with the additional feature of going out into the menu using the controller instead of having to press reset. It's just a perfect little thing.
I feel you lol
Exactly Martin. You just need a cheap little memory stick for $10 and you have access to thousands of games. Thank you HakChi and RetroArch!
Then buy 2 wireless controllers which will set you back $30 (unless you've absolutely got to have 8BitDo) and its retro gamer heaven!
Videos like this are the reason I've stayed subscribed to MJR all these years!
The only reason i stay here is because i am waiting for some more GAMER eats videos. Nachos, Waffles, Noodles!!
They’re all good videos. I think it’s time for another I Hate U episode.
I found him when trying to expand my psp game library, love his content and his game room is fucking dope
0:42 ..Christmas '96, the day is winding down to dinner time. i got some nautica & hilfiger gear to rock for the girls at school..they said the Playstation @ $399, without a game included, was too much. i understood. sittin' at dinner..papa walks in, with the Playstation 1 box in his hands, a grin on his face i'll never forget. love u papa..life is cancelled here, see you
What game did you get with it?
I got it from dad also! My first game was twisted metal.
We all know sega, nintendos and xbox (EXCEPT one) is better than the gaystation
Nice story bro 😆🎄🎁🎮♥️
I got N64 from my mom as it was launched in 97, I was one of the first buyers. Later I also got Playstation, played both. Nothing could beat Mario Kart, Zelda, Goldeneye, Banjo...but I had my favs on psx too Lunar, Chronotriger, Xenogears, Twisted Metal...I wanted Sarurn too, so bad...never got it. I still have my psx and N64 💓
I'd love to see a Master System Mini, get some interest going in that system again. Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd, Shinobi... and if they could throw in the foreign Sonic games (with Sonic being huge), plus some more foreign games, that'd be dope. The system is/was big in Brazil for the longest time, so yeah, some of those would be great.
Completely agree! Have been wanting one for AGES!!!
Firstly, love your videos! Keep it up!
Minor addition regarding the C64 Mini: Yes, the keyboard is non functional (and so small making it a functioning keyboard wouldn't really... function) and yes, the on screen keyboard works, but is a pain in the butt, but I didn't hear you mention that you can just plug in any USB Keyboard. Yes, there are only two usb ports and using a separate keyboard and two controllers requires a USB splitter, but it is an option!
I'm so glad they increased the number of usb ports on the C64!
Keep being awesome!
funny
I think a Dreamcast mini would be the most interesting one that could come out. That is as long as it has controllers with VMUs
And Sega Saturn please.
I would lose my mind if a Dreamcast mini would come out!
Soul Calibur, Power Stone 2, Quake III Arena (best console version of Q3), Sonic Adventure...
@BIGWORM 510 Not enough good games for the Dreamcast for a mini release.
Working VMUs and online capability would be a must for a Dreamcast mini. They could bring back seasonal DLC. Damn, I want it lol.
I would love to see a Sega Saturn mini! With “Panzer Dragoon Saga”, “Dragon Force”, and all three episodes of “Shining Force III”!!!
Panzer Dragoon was an awesome game.
@@kriskeilman2087 the Switch remake looks pretty sweet, but I can’t wait for Zwei on Switch!
Unfortunately, the source code for Panzer Dragoon Saga no longer exists so they would have to remake it to release it.
Hallelujah!
@@masterquake7 Please stop spreading misinformation. They can obviously rip the ISO and run it. Emulation has been able to run ISOs for well over a year.
I have all of them except for the C64 mini. I just recently acquired the TurboGrafx 16 mini, and omg, I am in love with it. The interface, the menu music, the controller, the emulation is awesome.
Love this. As an 80’s/90’s gamer this brings back some of the best memories!! I had, and should’ve kept my sega master system and Genesis… so it’s so great to at least see the Sega Genesis…loved that console! 😝 Also, would like to see ps2, where I left off… so many great games!! I’m exited to check out the super nes mini, if still available.
Nintendo 64 mini, the controller will be bigger than the console.
Have faith young grass hopper
Considering Nintendo already sold an N64 that was nothing but a controller back in the N64 days it couldn't be that hard to do.
qqq1701 oh yeah the iQue
Would be nice if they release it with the smaller Hori controller, but most people would be confused with it.
@@butterccm I'd love an iQue..
But Oh my God! the asking prices on eBay! $600-$800
W...T....F!
VHS Mini. Loaded with movies at a low resolution with a filter that makes it look like VHS on a CRT.
It used to be and event to rent a video from the store. Ah the good-old days! Damn I feel old, I mean hell, I'm only 37!
If you want to re-watch a movie you've already seen, you have to sit through a 3 minute rewind animation first.
Someone made a meme of that around the time the PS Classic came out. It had movies like Star Trek V. lol
beta Max too?
With a code that unlocks a secet blue book full of 'staches and bushes.
I was surprised and now stoked to see turbografx 16 being released! I’m looking that stuff up now
The Turbo MINI is better than the SNES, 3X the games and most of the SNES games are easy to get on cartridge anyway
Very cool and useful information from Metal Jesus! Thanks for the research! The world needs a Sega Saturn Mini and Sega Dreamcast Mini.
Binged watched all your videos during this quarantine...never clicked so fast to watch a new video in my life...love your content! Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@MetalJesusRocks There is one more Mini system (sort of). As you probably know AtGames has done multiple rounds of the Atari Flashback with Atari 2600 games. What you may not know however is that with the latest round of Flashbacks to come out in 2019 (the Atari Flashback X and the Atari Flashback X Deluxe) AtGames tried to capitalize on the "Mini Console" craze. The Atari Flashback X looks like an actual replica mini Atari 2600 (seen in this wiki picture: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Flashback_series#/media/File:Atari_Flashback_X_15.jpg ).
binge-watched*
@@MetalJesusRocks um Atari
Only Metal Jesus would think, "yeah, why not rank all of my mini consoles at 4am?"
And me watching this at 6 AM.
Isnt it like he's living the life though, getting revenue from YT, playing the games we all love? Who cares if its 4am if I were him is what i'm saying.
Consoles are consoles lol It fits.
@@Servaas it's a joke my guy, chill
That’s how he earned the moniker “Jesus” he saves us all at any time of day/night
I was praying for a video likes this. I just got the PSmini and it's awesome.
Thank you!
I got my Turbo Grafx 16 mini about 2 month's ago, and it's been a blast reliving my childhood; while playing these really awesome game's. Between this, my NES classic, and NeoGeo mini the Turbo is my favorite for sure. I'm hoping they come out with a 3DO mini next! 🤗
Yeah I got the Japanese PC-Engine version and really love it. Turbo Grafix 16 just didn’t do well in the USA. But my curiosity was through the roof since it had CD-Rom and a good number of fantastic arcade ports. That was a huge deal back then. It was a revolutionary console. I didn’t really know anyone who had one back in the day.
This mini gave me a great representation of what I missed out on. I remember seeing it on store displays and how the color pallete and CD-Roms looked superior to the SNES and Genesis.
I really enjoyed the games on it. The Hudson Soft games are cool but all the Konami stuff made this mini really stand out. I liked the Ninja Gaiden port also.
@@AngryCalvin Agreed! The only person who had a turbo grafix 16 I knew of was "myself" lol. I still love that system no matter how niche others thought it was.
9:43 - "I just don't happen to have one."
Actually, you do. You checked them out in your March 1st 2019 video. They call it "8-button" since the USB version adds a couple buttons for use with PC, Nintendo Switch, etc. That's the one Sega and RetroBit are selling for the Genesis Mini.
I noticed that too.
I’d really like to see a Dreamcast mini.
Sega would fuck it up. Look at the sonic adventure ports
Oh man the Dream Cast I still have mine somewhere, along with my Atri, Sega Genesis, Game gear , GameBoy Color , Game boy Advantage, PS1 & 2 , OG Xbox ...... there all in boxes in storage lol to someday to uncover & one hell of a time down memory lane when found hahahaha
Heck even a ps2 mini would be cool. Why not.
I never really played the Dreamcast, but I still agree with this sentiment.
D core I still have mine. I’m going to swap it’s internal battery and fan.
i just love your passion for games and i can listen to you for days ! Nice work MJR!
I must say, the preloaded game selection has some great choices, but this console had such a huge library of excellent games, that it left more than a little to be desired. My buddy sold me his hacked mini (I'm a bigger retro gamer) w/which I must say, he did one helluva job choosing tons of great titles, including many of the obvious omissions. I've now beaten or completed a total of 51 games across across every known genre, over the last 3+yrs, & I will likely be playing for the better part of the next decade, cuz there's a whole lot more to go...So much fun. I'm currently playing Lost Vikings 2, Axelay, & Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
Go outside.
I also want a Dreamcast Mini, the console on it's own is beautiful.
Also a Saturn, as the emulation for Saturn is imperfect
hard to do because of machine power would be much better than these, like a odroid maybe still would be very power hungry
all of these are emulation. Plus, even if they were just straight ports, a lot of the really good Saturn games like Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Shining Force 3 no longer have their source code available.
Giordan Diodato how did they lose the source code? Fire in the vault?
I'm glad I gave a Sega Genesis Mini. It's one of my favorite mini consoles.
i have the originals of every one of this. and i still want them all in their mini version.
Back in the day I had the nes and always wanted a TG16, so my fav is that one, specially since they added so many games, still missing a few but I think is the most fair package of all, you can feel it was a project made with heart.
You forgot to mention the English translation of Monster Wold IV and the two bonus games (Tetris, and Darius) on the Sega Genesis Mini.
(Edit: And the official release of Mega Man The Wily Wars.)
Yup, personally i think it's the best mini console, even with the sound issues. Overall it has a really big and varied collection of games with a lot of detail in presentation. Maybe the SNES mini has even bigger classics but it needed like 10 more third party games i think.
i wish MMWW didnt have that PAL slowdown, it hurts the game tbh, but everything else is great, SEGA was represented well in the Mini.
Got to say, for me the top 2 would have to be the SNES mini and the Sega Megadrive / Genesis mini with the later being #1. Bigger games library and an excellent selection of games, plus the detail in the actual console is amazingly accurate.
My ps1 has 275 games along with my fav of all time "JADE COCOON" TRUE BLUE OVER DOSE PACK LOVE IT THIS THING IS GREAT!
@@chrismanning8052 i had Jade Cocoon, that game is addictive, not quite as much as Pokemon but close.
A Dreamcast Mini is an absolute must!!! I’d also like to see Saturn & 32x mashed up together as a single release Classic. I think this compilation release works for just about every classic system, (except maybe Jaguar as it only has so many games).
A mini sega/sega cd and 32x combo was released before the saturn. It just didnt sell. Or the saturn made it redundant. Too bad.
I slept on the TG16 mini. Always wanted one back in the day too. Now I need to hunt the thing down when it's back in stock.
I love my PSX classic because I also have the TrueBlue Mini packs that add games through a USB drive. Such a great addition for like 20 dollars on ebay.
You can do this for free. Project Eris
"clicky thumbsticks is very hard to make"
he most likely meant more expensive

Lol!!! 4:10. MJ’s stop blowing smoke face.
I never knew this meme. Can’t find anything about it on the web. Anyone a link?
right, im salty oculus stepped backwards to LCD 80Hz from OLED 90Hz, just because it's cheaper. as the PSVita too..the screen is getting all our focus, make it the best
@@kaizen5415 Sadly, it isn't ALL of us, it's not very many at all. These companies do shed loads of focus groups and marketing research and the sad reality is many don't give a fuck if it means it's ten quid cheaper or something.
Now, if they had two options that might be nice, but still probably a wish too far.
I literally was just looking for a roundup of all of these lol. Awesome video, thanks!
Love your reviews, your opinions/preferences seem to match a my own....so subscribing for future reviews. Have a NES/SNES mini and looking at Mini reviews to gauge whether to add a PC Engine mini to this at well. But pleased you covered the PS classic which like yourself was original keen on but went off closer to launch day and gave a miss to.
Best Game CZcams channel period! Love from east Africa-Eritrea
Every time i see Retro game content on your channel you bring back pieces of my childhood
I loved the keys on the commodore keyboard. So satisfying to press for some reason. At least when I was a kid. It's been a couple decades. Its weird that I remember that actually. Lol.
Couldn't agree more. When I remember how I hammered the keyboard sometimes when i rage quit games (because I was a young jerk who didn't know better) in the 80s I wonder how a modern keyboard would react to this :-).... Good times thinking back. I just realize I am an old fart. But some of my best gaming memories are related to the C64. Amazing, somehow, considering the great games being released today. Graphics really isn't everything.
Get the C64 'full size'....it's gotten great reviews.
I love you man! Please don't ever stop making videos. Your channel is not only an inspiration but I find it also so entertaining
I appreciate that!
Great review! What are your thoughts on the Nintendo style retro game stick with wireless controllers?
I just got a nes mini hdmi version at a yard sale for $20 and I’m loving it I added the entire nes library and I’ve already tried a ton of games I’ve never played. I also have the ps1 mini and sega mini both modded. Personally I’m a huge fan of the ps1 mini but it was one of my golden systems. The ps1 startup noise brings me back to Christmas everytime
I remember seeing the TG16 at Child's world as a kid and it costed A LOT *took awhile to save up for it*. In high school I went to a Bomberman competition event in Minnesota and won the TG DUO. Was one of best days in my life. :D
Rumble controllers on TG16 and Genesis would be cool since they dont exist for the real consoles
We need an Amiga 500 Mini. Amiga doesn't get any love. :(
A CD32 mini
I did love my Amiga 500 that would be cool to own a mini version.
AMIGA does what Atari STdon't.......
Not quite the same......
I guess Amiga doesnt have any real amigas.
I would love a Amiga 600 mini, for the form factor
How are you getting the graphics on these? Even hacked with graphics options, mine aren't looking this awesome on my flatscreen. Is there something else I can do?
I still remember Christmas 1985, getting the original Nintendo, and the Turbo Grafx 16 that year. Was cool having both systems. Antique stores will pay a pretty penny for an original Turbo Grafx 16 in it's original box.
I have the nes and snes and love them. Takes me back to playing these when I was a kid. I would love to have the sega and turbo graphix 16.
I would love to see a Gameboy Classic. It wouldn't be mini, it'd be an exact replica but with a modern USB-chargeable battery, color backlit screen (but with options to play in black&white or classic green) and support for GB and GBC games. We're getting something similar with the new Game & Watch, which looks pretty great (and hackable). A DOS mini would also be cool--I wonder who would make it?
A handheld mini lol how much smaller can a handheld be? 😂
@@covid19alpha2variantturboc7 ha, depends, have you seen the Game Gear Micro?
@@ra226gaming nope
You just described the Analogue Pocket.
@@RandallStevenson I have one on pre-order! --but I'd still buy a GB Classic if they made one.
the genesis official six buttons was the real deal for me, it looked great, felt great and that "velvet" directional was best way to NOT destroy your thumbs doing hadoukens and shoryukens, i'm aware of today's upscaled complexity of games that demands much more from controllers but that one still the top controller of all times to me.
Velvet D-pad? I don't remember it being made of velvet. Oh wait, I see what ya meant. It would be the same thing if you called it " That butter smooth" D-pad"
But yeah, because it was a circle disc with a raised "Cross" pattern that made fighting games from Street Fighter to MK1-3 so much easier to pull off and didn't put your thumbs through hell.
Too bad KI was never released for the Gen/Megadrive. Tho I had some asshat try to tell me the game would never play properly even on the 6 button controller because it doesn't have the same number of buttons as the SNES because of the missing "the left/right bumpers" He still couldn't wrap his head around that they both have 6 buttons total and HE even went to far as to post images of both controllers to show that the SNES has more buttons to make his point...
That was the day I began losing faith in humanity, one comment at a time, and this was 1999.
yeah, i loved the SNES i had but whenever i played SF on it i'd wonder "why isn't this D-pad 8 directions and smooth like the one on the Genesis? or even the Master System?" i mean, i don't think they could predict SFII's runaway success, but it's still annoying to do a QCF on a cross D-pad, let alone a Shoryuken motion (and God forbid if you try the Pretzel in the Fatal Fury games). i'd get much less blisters on my left thumb if they put out a new controller to address the gameplay like Sega did with the six-button controller.
Agreed on worst vs. Best 👌 Never thought I would find out there is a Turbo Grafx 16 Mini until I watched your video!
Ms DOS Mini! That would be epic!
Unit-e was planing a PC Classic but I think it's still not available.

the wii slim is hot garbage.
The Wii is a great option if you like Wii games and Gamecube games it really saves a bit of space, much like the PS2 saves the space of both it and the PSX. Gamecube also has much cheaper component and HDMI adapters making it easier and cheaper to hook up to modern TVs than the original gamecube.
@@kenabi why is that? I had the original Wii but never followed consoles much after that and didn't even knew the Wii Slim existed
Awesome list. \m/ I’ve tried out some of these mini classic consoles. And the snes classic is my most favorite classic console. The only one I haven’t tried is the turbografx-16 classic. I would like to check that system out.
@Metal Jesus Rocks I'm interested in getting a used Playstation Classic. How do those sticks loaded with games work? Do you just buy 1 from ebay, and plug it into the console?

GameCube is already a mini console.
@@fidelxxx hush bub.hehe
Wake me up when it happened.
Just buy a Nvidia Shield TV.. no issues with Gamecube games, or N64 or Dreamcast for that matter
There is an actual "PC Classic" console in the works. I haven't received any update emails in awhile but I don't think it's been canceled yet
The market for that has to be tiny. I mean it would be super easy to make but I feel like anyone who would want that already has a solution laying around.
I bought a SNES classic for $20cad on the street, my first mini, and by far the best from what I can see 👍
Particularly with the Sega mini, was really hoping to have ability to play actual cartridges on it. Maybe in the future.
Sega master system, it’s such a under appreciated console. I would love if one existed!
A fairly sizable hit in Europe as Ninty locked Sega out of the US market but then US/EU retail was somewhat different back then and the EEC nee EU would not have allowed Nintendo's to develop the monopoly in Europe that it had in the US.
I didn't know I NEEDED to watch this video until it popped up in my feed

The Amiga Mini was released by the Armiga Project Spain. Glad that I grabbed one of their Armigas before they quitted. You can also switch between A500 and A1200 (AGA Chip) with their newest firmware.

Are you getting the new Sega genesis mini 2? BTW how can I get CD attachment for my sega genesis classic. And good video man and yes I have all the classic systems too except Turbo Graphx 16. They are really hard to find now.
At least, in the years since this video, we did get an Amiga mini (the A500 mini) and it’s pretty great. My personal favorites are the Turbografx mini and the A500 mini.
Sony not including the Dual Shock, and deciding to include PAL versions of games in the North American release was a huge mistake. That said, I would love to see a Sega Master System mini. Arguably the most underrated great console of all time
Well, they should have picked the North American versions if the European versions didn't have language selectors in the first place.
I think the master system is just too old, the games would look absolutely rubbish now.
Actually with the ease of modding and how good the programs are now the PS classic it is a great buy for the low price it is now. They just ported jedi knight academy to it I'm excited what the community has in store for it
wow really
Ladderadder Mcglitternips go wireless with a dongle.
I use my Wii U controller with mine.
Did they get Bushido Blade yet? I love that game. Still got my disc, but no ps1 🙁
I have a theory, Sony was toying with the idea and it got leaked forcing it to go to market. Unlike Sega or Nintendo, Sony just doesn't their library outright meaning they could never include the games people want and still keep it affordable. Never should have been released
@@provisionalhypothesis What do you use to mod it? I used Hachi on my NES classic and it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Sad not to see the @Games Atari Flashback 9 not making this list. I love it , the joysticks stay true to the original and it has an SD Card slot to load your own games and the community behind at Atari Age is second to none. my only complaint is the paddle controllers but beside that having it preloaded with over a 100 games and many great Activision Games and then able to load over 1000 games, It it s odd there is no mention.
Loved seeing some of those Turbo Graphics 16 games. My cousin had one, some of those games really brought back some nostalgia. I never met anyone else as a kid who had even heard of that console.
If it wasn't for Rondo of Blood I would have never known it existed. If America would have gotten that game the console would have been a solid competitor here
I had one. Absolutely loved it. It really had a lot of great, underappreciated games. The TV Sports titles were some of the best lineup of sports games for it's time. I even had the CD attachment which admittedly was a terrible investment. I'm not sure that thing even had ten games ever made for it.
Great video. An Amiga! Yes! A mini that looks like he Amiga 500 would be awesome! It would really be cool if it had a working keyboard and the disc drive was an SD card slot.
I don't think it was very popular, but I owned a Vectrex as a child and I loved it at the time. I would love to see that as a mini, but I'm not even sure if it's possible.
I really loved the min PlayStation simply because it was so easy to fix so one could play almost any rom on it.
It truly mimicked the org ps1 really well which was abysmally easy to fix so you could play games from all regions and even copied discs haha.
Hey nice review on the console but I do have a question. For all the games you want, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for you to buy an emulator and it has all these different systems included.
MS DOS mini for sure! I grew up with an NES and then SNES, but some of my favorite memories of gaming as a kid were the dos games I used to download from local dialup BBSes.
That would be nice. Maybe Win98 and 3dfx compatibility :b. And link option so we can do Quake and Doom deathmatch.
Unit-e was planing a PC Classic but I think it's still not available.
Don't we just call that DOSBOX?
I’d really want a Sega master system mini, PS2 Mini, N64 Mini and a Sega Dreamcast Mini
Yes! Absolutely a Master System and definitely a N64 mini! I’m sure Nintendo will eventually make N64 mini. The fans are demanding it.
An Xbox mini would be cooler than ps2 mini
@@-crazycat bruh
@@-crazycat Xbox isn’t even that classic
@@wendy8603 xbox is 1 year older than ps2 -_-
Is that black tiger in the background at the beginning of the video? What console provides that game? Is it sega
What neo geo games series did you go with? Great vid!
PlayStation mini: worst from the get-go. Absolutely best after modding! 💪💪💪
Another person that knows what the hell they're talking about!
yeah man i was lucky though got mine new for 36au and mods were already out win win :)
Can confirm the PSC is the one I use the most.
Ps classic once modded is all the minis in one!
@@hidden_vault $20 Canadian in this hemisphere! Grabbed two!
Sega genesis mini is #1 for me. It looks great, has an awesome selection of games, and you can play the Japanese versions by just switching the language.
Good choice!
Jon GreenSKI I have to agree. We been doing some testing over on my channel and we love that mini console the best
I looked into it after this video but was disappointed sonic 3 & 4 aren't included.
Plus it was only like 40 bucks at best buy. Can’t beat that price point lol
Same here
Exellent video totally agree with you, the only ones that you still don't have in your colection is the Mini Famicom and Mini Super Famicom that I have, some games are differents from the north American mini consoles, I own them all and they are all awesome , awesome video, love your content !! :)
The neo geo nakoruru and all the shamurai showdown variants have a defect with the clear cup thumbstick on the game pads. They tend to break after some normal use.
How is yours?
Castlevania 4 in the background at the start. My favourite game ever! That and Castlevania 3. Metal Jesus DOES indeed rock!
This video makes me want to get them all now.
I have 4 of them, the nes, neogeo, genesis and the TG16. All of them worth it in my opinion for around 100 bucks. Only reason I dont have the SNES one is because everyone's trying to resell them for like 150 bucks.
Unfortunately you'll have to import the Turbografx Mini
I have 3, the NES snes and ps mini. I only want the Genesis mini to complete 4 of the best
@@GiordanDiodato yes and no to get it now yes cause its on the us one but its a preorder so no date sadly
I have been wanting to get the turbo grafx 16 mini for a while now but I haven’t jumped the gun on it because at the moment I would have to pay expensive scalper prices since I can’t find it in stores anywhere. It would be cool to have because I never had a chance to play any games from that system.
Your videos are keeping us all sane during lockdown. Thanks, Mr Jesus!
I try. Have a great weekend! 😍
I honestly hope the mini trend continues forever. Like years down the road eventually all the consoles get minis.
Cant wait for ps3 mini. 60gbs keep dying on me.
@@ladyvavashund46 sounds like you need to do console maintenance once in a while. Thermal paste has a shelf life. Open them up, clean the dust out. Reapply new thermal paste like once every 5 years. You can't treat new consoles like the old ones, they produce alot of heat and require cooling and thermal paste dries out. You run em hard with dried out these paste you cook them to death.
Well I can't say consoles like the Sega 32x and the Jaguar CD are going to get mini's
@@billy-waynejeffcoat4828 Thank you for you advice but I am very aware. My point is you will never need to do maintenance on the minis becouse they will never overheat despite being new hardware.
This was a great video!! Very interesting!
The PCE/TG and Genesis/MD are quite a treat!
Great list and throwback history on these consoles. I own the SNES Classic Edition.
