#Blog The Newest Mini Console

So I now this one was released a bit earlier this year, but money has been difficulty tight this year. Anyways I had set it aside to get it later this year/summer, and chance of mine I saw they cut down the prices of the console so I finally grabbed now The A500 mini.

I already posted about the other mini consoles lately, like the previous and similar Commodore 64 mini.

 

Another Amiga Commodore mini system inspired by a classic home computer console from way back when.

This one only has 25 titles, but a lot of great stuff thankfully.

 

The new mini console looks just as slick and lovely miniaturised if a bit more toy-ish and plastic than usual. The packaging is also lovely.

 

And here is the A500 Mini next to a Switch for scale...

The UI is pretty decent and comes with all the whistle and bells (save stats, etc.).

The system has a lot of classics from the 16-bit era (a lot I actually already had on the Sega Mega Drive).

Chaos Engine (Soldiers of Fortune), Worms, Zool, Flashback... a great selection. Pinball, vs fighter, racing, puzzle... Lots of genre titles covered here.

A nice innovation is that the system has a SD card slot so you can upload your own Roms without breaking or modding it for once.

All in all, not the best mini console (too plastic-y, very little game selection, if a great selection). But some iconic titles and the SD card slot is a nice addition. I'd say this is more for hardcore gamers and collectors than the usual mini systems.
