We've reached that point where companies have run out of mini console ideas but don't want to lose an easy revenue stream so they just start throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

Isn't that just DDR in general, since the series was designed for manlet japs in the first place?
Japanese guys are tall. The short asian stereotype comes from the Vietnam war and the Korean war.
>Japanese guys are tall.
Wow cool a whole 5cm

The latest generation of Japanese males have peaked with modern diets at about 172cm or roughly 5'8
They are small island people

>mini console that can play mini cartridges
>game devs sell mini carts with compilations of their greatest hits on them
>also encourage indies to make new games for the hardware
>for all intents and purposes it is a $99 N64/whatever with new N64 games being developed for it
Problem solved
Mannly Tears*
Evercade? already exists.
it's a comfy height :3
This is the coolest one so far. Nobody actually plays these shelf ornaments.

Still waiting on mini versions of Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, and Sega Dreamcast.
Their “programmers” don’t want to figure out how to optimize an in house emulator to make those mini consoles on the cheap so they won’t happen until they can brute force it with a rasp pi version 12 a decade from now
If we can get a PS1 mini, then surely we can get a Sega Saturn mini or N64 mini. They are all from the same generation of Consoles.
the N64 and the saturn are vastly different, and more complex hardware compared to the n64.
by default, saturn emulation requires a SoC WAY more powerful than the one on the PSCMini, which so far, IS the strongest mini system for emulation.
and yet, theres still nothing on that power and a comparable pricepoint for mass prioduction.
if you want a saturn mini, you have to wait AT LEAST 5 years until the chip prices are low enough for it to be profitable.
N64 emulation is a lot more demanding than PS1 emulation.
N64 mini seems possible. Nintendo is already remanufacturing N64 controllers for switch online. They could tool the assembly line to make them cheaper.
Nintendo also has access to complete blueprints of N64 architecture, this is why they could emulate N64 on GameCube perfectly with increased performance even. They have the ability to create the most optimized N64 emulator ever. It’s why 360 could fricking emulate original Xbox. You wouldn’t need some beefy ARM like another anon said.
Egret mini stays winning, can't wait for december
what all is available these days for egret mini? i passed last year cuz it seemed like too much money especially for the analog controller.
Anyone buy one?
Not at those prices lmao. Absolute max I'd pay for something like that is $100, and even then I'd have to really convince myself it's worth it over using an emulator for free. Hell I'd sooner drop a couple grand on the real thing. Because at least then it'd actually have the history behind it and I could be proud to add to my JP computer collection, instead of being some plastic toy that looks like the real thing.
this shit is depressing. it's a tease.
what is that thing?
AI generator.
Idiots. I know it's AI. I'm asking what is it. What prompt did you use? What did you tell it to make?
Yeah, sure you did.
We are in for a bad century if people are getting stumped by AI images of that quality.
i have inadvertently discovered how to filter zoomers on this board. you are welcome bros.
thats a sega genesis you fricking underage dumbass
This is actually a fun idea as a finger dancing game. One of the 3rd parties had a controller like this for Playstation.
>DDR for Tech Decks enthusiasts
More like they know that people buy these to collect them on a shelf instead of play them.
Anon, that's not a mini console. It's by a company that makes a line of novelty toys called "world's smallest toys", where the gimmick is that it's classic toys and board games shrunk down to an inch or two. A while back they started a new line of them called Tiniest Boardwalk Arcade, where the gimmick is that they're shrunk down arcade machines instead of toys.
They're meant to be cute novelties and little else.
when are we getting the virtual boy mini (with greyscale option for people who don't wanna go blind)
Not playing in red n black = you didn't beat the game
Ass cheeks aren't severely red n black = your dad didn't beat you hard enough
>still no 6th gen miniconsoles
C'mon, those are the ones that can't be emulated on your granny's PC. I can imagine there would be a lot of demand for a mini OG Xbox
It's pretty neat. If it drops below $20 on Amazon I'll probably pick one up.
The graphic design major stuck a SUPER long tonearm on that turntable, like much too long LOL.
Remember these things?
No but I like mini anything. That is really cool, it’s so 2000s.
I did have this awful thing I can barely find pictures of though. I think I read about it in a magazine. I bought this an megaman x6 the same day at the mall. I can’t remember what store I bought it from though.
It folded open and the sharp edges dug into your hands.
Missed opportunity to sell a high quality scaled down cab with good metal pads.
I'd have ordered multiple sets.
95% of people who'd be interested would bow out as soon as they saw the shipping costs, even if it's "scaled down"
Am I like supposed to play this with my fingers or is this a non functioning mini arcade? Tape a little miniature "out of order" sign on it to make it more real.
