Snatcher-based screwup aside, the TurboGrafx-Mini is probably the best out-of-the-box lineup I've ever seen on a product along these lines and I can't wait to get hold of one. But imagine the good will Konami would generate by making it happen! This is very much a product for hobbyists and I feel as though a new translation of Snatcher would absolutely sell the heck out of more units.
I know that the extant Sega CD version's English script can't just be drag-and-dropped. And I'm not an idiot, I know that translating games is hard.
There's a precedent, as - like I said - Tokimeki Memorial on the Japanese Mini is replaced by Salamander on the Western device. Maybe it's just me, but I would prefer it be substituted out for something else than presented in an unplayable form. It feels like a huge wasted opportunity to dangle the carrot of beloved cult classic Snatcher under the noses of Western gamers, only to not offer it in English. It's great for Japanese speakers, naturally, but I'd wager they're not going to comprise a large amount of the Mini's western audience.
For Gradius and, say, Rondo of Blood, that's not really a huge deal. The official website for the Mini explains that the Japanese/PC Engine games on the system - while largely available worldwide (excepting Tokimeki Memorial, which has been replaced in the West with Salamander) - will not be translated into English. She just pronounces the names of the powerups in a positively weird way. The CD version of Gradius 2, for example, never saw a US release, but here it is. Gradius Gaiden: SDLOM with Force Field and Lord British. You see, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini contains a medley of both Western releases and Japan-only games. "We're sick of your contrarian pomposity." Let me finish, Nauties! I was as thrilled to see Snatcher on here as anyone would be, until I read the fine print. Foremost in my mind is the inclusion of Snatcher, Hideo Kojima's early sci-fi noir-ish visual novel/adventure game. There are some problems and it would be remiss of me to ignore them. Banned 2 In Latin, 'gladius' is a generic term for sword. Bomberman '94! Rondo of Blood! Cadash! Gradius effin' 2!! I don't want to oversell it, but this is going to be one of the best things ever. And that's more than a little nit-picky given the calibre of this Mini marvel. Seriously, I've been trying my utmost to think of anything missing and all I can pull from memory are Liquid Kids, New Zealand Story, Mr. My "absolutely won't happen" pipe dream, bolstering an absolutely phenomenal line-up.Īir Zonk, Aldynes (SuperGrafx), Alien Crush, Appare!

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that anyone, anywhere - on anything, for any reason, would ever re-release Taito's seminal, criminally underplayed "Story of Bubble Bobble III".
