I've been commenting on all the pc engine videos asking for a video on the PC engine LT and you have yet to even mention it ever!! It's much more interesting than just another variant like this thing! I'm begging You! Look into the pc engine LT!
In this video: this thing actually exists. Thats literally it. Feels like it should probably have been marked as an addon to the turbographx/ pc engine episode.
The thumbnail made me try to see if there were a Turbo Grafx 16 game of GS Mikami - the Superfamicon GS Mikami game is a cool looking platformer. My crude search only turned up a PC Engine CD game, though, and a card battle game of some sort. Oh well ...
There had to be at least one anime-style PC Engine CD game of GS Mikami. Pretty much every anime/manga big enough in Japan at the time had its PC Engine CD game.
In the beginning of the video you've mentioned Bravoman, and I thought to myself, Bravoman can be a DLC for Arms, There's some legal things that you have to go through for him to be DLC, but it would be a good fit for the game.
I always thought it was odd that with all of these PC Engine variants that were made not a single one of these companies thought "Put a second controller port in there"
According to the Korean phonetics your name is actually pronounced "Jeremy CRYING" ...rhyming with "bitch", "pussy", "hater", "incel", "manbaby", etc. #DontFuckWithAnEdgeLord
Check out the pc engine LT! It's the most interesting variant of the pc engine! It has the controls and a screen built into the consol! It's portable but requires an outlet! It's amazing!
Really? I specifically remember seeing the Turbografx 16, the CD add on device, and games, in every Toys R Us store I ever went into in the early 90s. I don't remember seeing it in a Radio Shack, but I also remember seeing it in the mall at stores like Electronics Boutique, Babbages, etc.
@@Jikangire957 Yes, Toys 'R' Us did stock them, but IIRC Radio Shack had a deal to make them the biggest retailer. ( I remember my dad talking to one of the managers about it back in the day )
Good Job! I never even heard of that one growing up. I was one of 3 people that I knew of in my highschool that had a TG16 / Duo system. I knew about from magazines the Super Graphx, PC Engine Shuttle, Core Graphx etc but never really new what the differences were as far as compatibility. Then again... we didn't have internet like we do now. Crazy to think about. In the grand scheme of things internet is not really that old. Anyway.. great job as always. I love learning about these obscure systems 25years later lol.
The TG-16 was and still is my favorite of the 16bit era (even though it wasn't quite 16bit). The CD attachment alone made it a must have (provided you could afford it - I was young, living at home, had a decent job and loads of disposable income - that didn't last too long).
Enjoyed the video. Two thoughts: I didn’t realize that you were such a fan of the PC Engine. I remember your feelings toward it being described as lukewarm, even during your live sampling of the system’s library with Mr. Street. Also, I’m probably one of the few fans who misses your pronunciation of “Pee-Shee” Engine.
It is one of those systems that has grown on me immensely over the last, the more time I have spent with it. My experiences have been the same with the Sega Saturn at an earlier date. Street and Orb do not like the Saturn much for some reason either, I guess they have not got a taste for fine wines!
God damn it every single time you upload I watch to see if you've fixed your vocal sound, and it STILL sounds like you've recorded yourself with a Nokia 3310 inside a bathroom. It's not even that expensive to buy a decent microphone and pop filter and get a few plugins on your computer like a good compressor and equaliser so you can properly process your recordings. Pair all that with some soundproofing foam in the room you record (or even blankets on walls/ceiling) and you should be good. IMO your content is bloody excellent, you are just being held back by your production values.
0:22 the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 trademarks actually is co-owned by Konami and *BIGLOBE,* a former company of NEC that provide mobile content services, although BIGLOBE are not involved themselves with rereleases of PCE / TG-16 games in digital storefronts and their Minis.
I had a similar feeling of wonder upon first playing Bonk and Ys, courtesy of the old Wii's Virtual Console. Speaking of Ys, back to that rockin' soundtrack!
I had to do a thorough search for this Mikami image. After all that I have only two things to say: You're such a MASSIVE weeb, and you have great taste.
I was asking myself why he put a Ghost Sweeper Mikami image there, but after watching the video I'm none the wiser. Well, I'm sure at least one or more Mikami games did come out for the PC Engine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This device seems somewhat marginally interesting. Whoever was fortunate enough to have their parents or grandparents forking over cash so they could play this thing... those were some lucky kids!!
We pay him for being our #BigDaddyTopHat on Patreon. UA-cam pays him for commercials (that's why he gets ~3-4 in during his usual ~12-15min video). Also he prolly sells black market knives to the youths of England, and he uses his career as a "Professional Wrestler" and "UA-cam Influencer" to launder the money he collects from unbinned knives.
@@sinicalypse LMAO top comment! Recently a lot of the really rare hardware that has appeared on the channel belongs to Quang of Asobi Tech (The UKs largest console collector). As for my own collection, I procured most of it before I was on UA-cam. My life was boring and I was only allowed 4 weeks off a year from my day job so I use to spend all my money on games and consoles as had nothing else to do with it. Now I have free time to travel from being a full-time UA-camr and a son to look after, I have no hole to fill in my life and no reason to really collect like a mentalist, so I only make procurements when I desperately want something. I also have an additional income from my home I have rented out in England.
Not bad, interesting stuff. I feel like the videos are better when you actually own the product or have it in your hand at least, but I never heard of this one, so good on you.
THGM pre-records in bulk, so him holding the systems, showing the game stuff etc. and edit it together with a voice over later. If he inserts talking into the actual video then it could throw off later editing or voiceover stuff.
You REALLY should read up more on history (not gaming) before you make it part of your videos. I very much enjoy your channel and content which is always first-rate, but this video with the political history comment has major accuracy issues. Personally, I prefer political commentary not to be in videos about gaming. This one just left a bad taste in my mouth. Still, I will continue to watch your channel as I have from the time you only had a few hundred subscribers (of which I was among the first).
What? It's true. Korea banned the sale of Japanese products and to get around this Japanese firms partnered with korean conglomerates to rebadge their stuff. This didn't end until the late 90s and 2000s when the laws were relaxed.
Yes, that's not what I'm referring to. The ban had nothing to do with comfort women (wartime sex workers and slaves) as the ban (not just on Japan) was in place well before the issue became a sticking point between both countries. Also, Japan repeatedly apologized, so incorrect to say they did not.

Glad to see this guy's channel growing. He's a cool dude. He's doubled his subscriber count in less than a year.
finally I been waiting for this from this guy and the ys music in the beginning is so good for this video.
MSX is my childhood.

‘I was one of those knobheads...’. Best line ever
Sweet, you showed it with Devil's Crush. Still have a copy but no hardware.
ill trade you a TG16 for it :P
According to the Korean phonetics, it's actually pronounced, "VAI-star"...rhyming with "bye", "hi", "cry", etc.

@@brianhedley5139 he did a video on the shuttle.

Fun Fact: In North America, Radio Shack was the the main retailer of the Turbo Graphx 16.

Please do a video on the Interton VC 4000, it was a fairly popular 8 bit computer console in Europe but it's history is nearly unknown.

Very detailed. thanks
Another great video! Thankyou.

Cool stuff man! Yeahhhhhhhhhh

Yeeeaaahhhh!!
Yet another toy I now want and probably won’t ever get to buy. Your channel is full of those. Good for the wallet I guess.
Keep it top Hat!
If you want to talk about an obscure video game console then how about a polish one? It's named Ameprod TVG-10. ;)
Question do you play rom hacks if so what are you're favorite ones to play
kinda looks like a cable modem
just put me cuppa down and the video is over !
Hyundai is pronounced Hun-day. 😜
The PC engine looks like the bottom of a blender
Like if you were to turn a blender upsides down.... that's what you'd see.
Very ugly.
Why do you act like a mute whenever you're on camera?
