If you care about the box or are a collector, DO NOT ORDER it. Amazon or KONAMI are too cheap to put the item in a second box so what you get in term of experience is:
1. A beaten-up box as if you are buying a used item.
2. Ugly adhesive shipping labels that cannot be removed without pulling off the box art.
3. A high chance of theft as the product details are in plain view when being shipped or when left at your door.
4. The package has no sealing stickers so you can't tell if it's been tampered with.
5. After pre-ordering this almost a year ago, the excitement just vanished as soon as I got this in my hands.
If you are buying this internationally, I wish you the best of luck getting this in one piece.

OK, First the Good: This has 25 English TurboGrafix-16 games, I think that is pretty much the entire catalog. It also has 32 Games in Japanese, some are repeats of the English, but alot of cool games.
Now the bad- The system comes with a USB/Micro USB cable for power BUT NO Adapter!!!!!! The manual says you have to buy a separate piece - or you can us a 5v 2A adapter of your choice. WHAT CRAP considering the price. Everything about the system is light, the controllers feel hollow with no weight to them, and of course there is only one.

TL;DR version: ONLY USE THE OFFICIAL POWER SUPPLY, or at least make sure the power supply used isn't rated above 5 volts 2 amps. (2.1 amps *might* be ok.)
LONGER EXPLANATION: Follow-up to my initial review (see below): a third Mini (one Japanese PC Engine Mini, two U.S. TG16 Minis) is now BRICKED. The third initially worked when it was plugged into a 5.1 Volt 2.1 amp power supply normally used to charge an iPad. HOWEVER, when I plugged the TG16 Mini into a power supply for a Raspberry Pi (as I did with the others), which is rated at 5v *3* amps, video is fine but all controllers stopped responding. Going back to the 2.1 amp power supply did not fix the controller issue. In other words, I believe 3 amps BRICKED all my TG16/PC Engine Minis.
This is the power supply that bricked all my TG16 Minis:

INITIAL REVIEW AS FOLLOWS:
=========
I was excited for this product, so I ordered a PC Engine Mini from Amazon Japan. Unfortunately, it won't boot past the initial language select screen. I tried everything: different controllers, cables, TVs, multiple power adapters... nothing.
So now that the US version is available, I decided to try again with the Turbografx 16 Mini -- only to find the EXACT SAME THING!!! It boots to the initial screen, but doesn't accept any input no matter which USB port the controller is plugged into. I tried the controller it comes with AND the wireless 8bitdo TG16 controller - the Mini doesn't recognize any input from either to get started.
I'm going to try to return the US TG16 Mini to Amazon U.S. (the PC Engine Mini is too expensive to ship back to Japan), but if that one doesn't work, it's 3 strikes, you're out as far as I'm concerned.

The TurboGrafx-16 was my favorite system back in the day. I still have my original TG-16 with CD-ROM and it works, but I needed to get this mini. I love it! As other reviewers stated the cable layout on the back isn't the best, but at least the controller has a 10ft cable.

I have waited 30 years to own a TG-16. I use to play the demos at a very young age at the stores that carried it back in the day but never got the opportunity to get one. I almost tried to attempt collect the original TG-16 console and games but the prices on eBay and such are completely insane. When I heard Konami was bringing out the Mini version of the TG-16, I knew I had to get one. Thank you Amazon for selling this to me and get it sent to me on launch day in the US. The games on here are great including the Japanese PC Engine games and I have this sitting next to my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Spending $100 for this Mini and 57 games is way better than spend thousands on the original which is super rare. Highly recommended and you’re missing out on these underrated games if you don’t buy one.

I have purchased all the minis so far released in North America, while I could of gotten a raspberry pi I always think this as a collector and as someone who grew up poor is the best way to go. This mini has some really fun and great looking games that I finally get to enjoy as easy as pie. The system feels sturdy and does not have that cheap plastic feel to it, the controller also feels sturdy and responsive (shame it only comes with one controller). I think it’s really cool they included a bunch of Japanese only releases for us to try out (some games are sadly text heavy in Japanese and are impossible to play) the selection of games feels like it has something for everyone so I’m very happy with my purchase and I highly recommended this mini.

Bad batch or something. It turns on, but I cannot leave the language select screen. The controller ports aren’t working. Seems like the Japanese edition also had this problem. Disappointing. Returning for a replacement and hoping the second one isn’t bad as well.
I’m glad I didn’t import this!
——————
Update: I got a replacement today and it is working so far. Hoping that bad one was a rare case.

Valió la pena esperar
Reviewed in Mexico on June 18, 2020Style: SingleVerified Purchase
Por diversas circunstancias, nunca tuve una Turbografx y conocí algunos de sus juegos hasta la consola virtual del Wii. Esos que costaban 600 puntos.
Me quedé impresionado por lo divertidos e impresionantes que lucian sus juegos comparados con otras consolas de la época. Personajes grandes, gráficos coloridos, un sonido decente (quizá un punto débil) y sobre todo la diversión de su multijugador en Bomberman. Hasta 5 al mismo tiempo.
Ahora bien, está consola está muy detallada, buenos materiales, el control es excelente (solo viene uno) y una interfaz muy bien diseñada. Los juegos, cómo era de esperarse son muy buenos unos de Cartucho y otros de CD, Castlevania es soberbio, aventure island un clásico, Neutopia un clon de Zelda que tiene méritos propios, Bomberman el multijugador por excelencia, Chew man fu sorprendentemente adictivo, victory Run, etc
Pero no todo es color de rosa. Incluye HDMI y USB para la alimentación, sin embargo no incluye fuente de poder o cargador. Técnicamente puedes usar cualquiera pero si puedes usar uno, asegúrate que sea de buena calidad o puedes adquirir el Cargador Hori oficial.
Cómo mencionaba, solo incluye un control. Uno muy bueno, eso sí. Y puedes conectar hasta 2 directamente. Pero ello implica que antes de armar tu fiesta de Bomberman, necesitarás comprar el Multitap Hori (créeme los Hubs USB no funcionan) y evidentemente los controles, pero no cualquier control... Solo los controles Hori se pueden acoplar sin problema, pero los 8bitdo no se pueden usar fácilmente con el Multitap; el espacio entre puertos es muy pequeño para conectar dos adaptadores juntos, ni que decir 5 controles.
Así que para dos jugadores los controles 8bitdo y/o Hori, están excelentes. Para 3 en adelante, además del Multitap, necesitarás usar Solo Hori o mezclar algunos 8bitdo y Hori (2 de uno y 3 de otro). También se dice que los controles de génesis de Retrobit y el control mini de PS4 de Retrobit son compatibles.
Sin embargo, hablando solo de este producto en si. Grandes juegos, muchos detalles para la nostalgia, gran mini consola.

Siempre quise poder jugar en una PC engine/Turbo grafx , pero desgraciadamente la distribución en México fue nula, creo que fue una consola muy adelantada a su época, aún y cuando se podía conseguir la consola, era muy complicado conseguir juegos, al menos en México, por lo que esta versión te hace poder sentir el control de una Turbo Grafx y disfrutar de los gráficos tan potentes para esa época, mucho mejores que los de NES. Además, un plus es la parte de las animaciones en el menú principal así como poder jugar cosas de PC Engine y de Turbo Grafx, además con 50 juegos, es de las más minis más completas.

Une bonne console pour les fan de jeu japonais arcade , mais les manette ...
Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2020Style: SingleVerified Purchase
Une bonne console . J ai la vrai console chez moi . Elle fonctionne toujours mais les jeu sont très cher . Le extension CD rom est très cher à trouve et peu être parfois brisé ( l extension ne ce réparé pas , pièce discontinuer )
La version mini , je l aime beaucoup , elle a de bon classique japonais au temps CD rom que U card ( jeu normal en forme de carte )
Le seul défaut que je trouve ce son les manette . Je jou à Ys book 1 et 2 . Le personage va souvent dans des endroit où tu ne veux pas aller ( si j appui sur la droite , parfois le personage décide de monté vers le haut ou vers le bas ) ceci est la même chose pour les autre direction . Sachant que les diagonal existe pas dans ce jeu , cela est beaucoup dérangent et aussi difficile à jouer .

En realidad yo tenia mis dudas sobre adquirirla o no ya que nunca tuve la original y no la conocía muy bien. Yo la compré por el juego de castlevania ya que soy fan de esa saga y la opción de comprar la consola y el juego original es demasiado cara (alrededor de 8-10 mil pesos solo por el juego).
Finalmente la compré y no me arrepiento, ademas del juego mencionado, incluye muchos otros muy buenos, varios son de naves y disparos y también son entretenidos.
La consola es de buena calidad al igual que el control, solo tomen en cuenta que necesitarán un adaptador usb para conectarla a la corriente, no se preocupen, casi cualquiera de celular les funcionara.
Sus puntos no tan a favor son la poca variedad de géneros de juegos, hay algunos que son algo malos y no tendrían que estar y algunos vienen en su versión para el Mercado japonés.
De cualquier forma, si eres videojugador, no importa que seas seguidor o no de la compañía, está es una compra más que justificada, siempre y cuando la consigan al precio normal y no al que luego ofrecen los revendedores.
