#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.

Gamin' NEWS! Worms Crazy Golf .. whaaaAA??

Yep.

Hey, they're trying to keep things fresh, so you'd expect one gimmick or two after all those years (Forts, anyone?)...
