Who knows, but they did in fact release Gate on the Wii Virtual Console; can't imagine the terms would have been any different.

Annoyingly it skipped the Wii U though, so there might be something to the notion.bigbadboaz wrote:Who knows, but they did in fact release Gate on the Wii Virtual Console; can't imagine the terms would have been any different.

I suspect M2/Konami must have thought there were enough 'space shooters' on the mini and opted for the more unique setting of Lords of Thunder, even though playing the two I think I prefer Gate to Lords.

As in flat-out wouldn't transfer, or as in wasn't re-released? If the latter, a LOT of stuff didn't get a specific separate release. Companies just stopped caring. Hell, did they do TG-16 at all on Wii U?Sengoku Strider wrote:Annoyingly it skipped the Wii U though, so there might be something to the notion.
There was something in one of the dev interviews where they did say they didn't want to load up too much from any one series on the console. What played in thematically, I have no idea.I suspect M2/Konami must have thought there were enough 'space shooters' on the mini and opted for the more unique setting of Lords of Thunder, even though playing the two I think I prefer Gate to Lords.
I too would rather have had Gate, but that's why we're waiting on the hack
Re: PC Engine Mini games list,includes SAPPHIRE!
A handful of TG-16 games made it to the Wii U VC, which I wasn't expecting since none of the Genesis games made it. Oddly enough, Necromancer somehow made it to the US VC, despite being a completely untranslated RPG.bigbadboaz wrote:As in flat-out wouldn't transfer, or as in wasn't re-released?

Re: PC Engine Mini games list,includes SAPPHIRE!
In the last year or so of the system's active lifespan, Konami put out a bunch of TG-16/PCE games on the Wii U VC, with its own emulator UI. Shooter fans actually got a decent haul out of it:bigbadboaz wrote: As in flat-out wouldn't transfer, or as in wasn't re-released?

Salamander
Gradius
R-Type
Lords of Thunder
Detana Twin Bee
Super Star Soldier
Final Soldier
Soldier Blade
Air Zonk
Blazing Lazers
Image Fight
Image Fight II
Battle Chopper (Mr. Heli)
As you can see, Lords of Thunder was released, but they skipped right over Gates.

edit: Can confirm all the above utilise turbo, and also The Legend of Valkyrie and Galaga '88.

Blazing Lasers has hidden difficulty modes with a code that encourages using the turbo buttons.

''Normal Dog'' or ''Hard Human'' difficulty - Place I and II on top turbo speed and hold down I, II and Select simultaneously
''Super Mania'' or ''God of the Game'' difficulty - Place I and II on low turbo speed and hold down I, II and Select simultaneously
Re: PC Engine Mini games list,includes SAPPHIRE!
Seconded. I'd much rather play Gate than Lords. The sound that collecting those crystals makes in Lords always bothered me.EmperorIng wrote:I suspect M2/Konami must have thought there were enough 'space shooters' on the mini and opted for the more unique setting of Lords of Thunder, even though playing the two I think I prefer Gate to Lords.

Gate is the better game but Lords is way easier. You can kinda wing it Lords and do pretty well.
Neither game is all that hard though.

Re: PC Engine Mini games list,includes SAPPHIRE!
Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have a question.
I heard horror stories about powering this mini with various adapters/power supplies and frying USB ports.
So far, I used mine connected to my TV through a USB port.
But, I recently changed the position of the TV, and I can't reach its USB ports any longer, so I need to connect the console to something else.
I was wondering: would it be safe to connect my mini console (European version) to a USB port from my Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV 4K HDR?
Why couldn't the damned console come with a proper power supply?
And, it's next to impossible to find an "official" USB to plug adapter here.

Re: PC Engine Mini games list,includes SAPPHIRE!
The USB port-frying issue was mainly from people trying to use power adaptors that provided more than the recommended voltage due to the misconception that this would somehow make the games run more accurately. You should be fine so long as you stick to the system specs and use a standard USB power input. I've used my TG-16 mini for a long time now on a standard power supply without any issues.FunktionJCB wrote:Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have a question.
