Konami is the latest company to announce its foray into the world of mini consoles, confirming that Hudson’s classic PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 console will be turning tiny just ahead of E3 2019 last month.
At the time we only knew of a handful of games, but now Konami has confirmed the full line-up. Iconic Hudson titles like Bonk and Bomberman have made the cut, but there are plenty of oddities too – the Japanese versions of Ninja Gaiden, Snatcher, and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood will be playable in all regions, for example, albeit without localization. Also, while 50 games are advertised, multiple of them double-up with English and Japanese versions.
