TurboGrafx-16 mini $99.99

I guess if you really want one now, get it. But these mini consoles have a tendency to drop in price to $20-30 eventually.

Why is it Mature rated?

Bonk!

Snatcher alone (despite being in Japanese) brings it to an M, possibly other games as well

Poorly constructed mini consoles have plummeted in price, but quality ones like the NES and SNES mini have gone up quite a bit from their original retail price. Given how collectible the TurboGrafx is, not a bad idea to pick one up while they are in stock.

I got the core grafx mini and love it!

Way too expensive. I'll wait for it to be $20 like the Playstation Classic... which also started off at $100 on release.

Can't wait for a price drop! Loved Splatter House!

Why are these selling for $150 on the bay?

If reviews on the product are strong, don't bank on it. The PlayStation Classic was a major dud because of crap emulation. You can still find them for under $100 even though I'm pretty sure they ceased production. Check out pricing on the NeoGeo Gold X for a better comparison to what a collectible, well made mini console sells for after release.

Because it's a horrible device.. it's the only one that dropped as such. 🤦 ♂️

Well made? It was universally panned at release as a POOR/FAILED emulation device. That said, I have one opened and one sealed after all these years.

i pre-ordered mine and it arrived yesterday. For the clueless (i.e. those expecting to amass long term wealth from nostalgic mini consoles of all things): this is of way more "value" and desire than any other mini console than perhaps the NES and SNES Classics, as they have true nostalgia value going for them. The Genesis mini 2019, while quality, contains many games available on multiple other platforms and the few rare thrown in like Wily Wars are easily found and even playable in a browser on the web. The NeoGeo mini while excellent as a standalone using the built in screen, has subpar HDMI output. The Sony PS1 Classic has subpar game selection out the box, but can be easily remedied and hacked with a $25 kit available on even Amazon. The TG-16 mini may have limited nostalgia for only hardcore gamers, but for younger gamers who are curious and/or fans of the 8 and 16 bit era of play get 50+ high quality and highly playable games regardless of language barrier. Combine that with the drought on controllers (my order for 2nd controller will take a week to get to get here minimally), and that Konami probably designed this for minimal production at high margin, and i say this is the most solid purchase in a while regarding minis.

No friggin way will I EVER pay $100 for a mini. Much less a tg-16
