While it certainly wasn’t the first to market, the NES Classic did open up the floodgates and highlighted that there was a hungry market for miniature consoles that came loaded with your favourite games. Four years on, we take a look at how the market now stands and our system highlights of the last year.
DARRAN: It’s been another good year for Mini consoles hasn’t it?
NICK: I’d say so, the PC Engine Mini delivered, I love my Game Gear Micros and the Game & Watch looks great. If the Astro City Mini is as good as it looks, all the better.
DARRAN: The only system that’s let the side down is the new Game & Watch and that’s only due to the number of games on it. It’s a lovely piece of kit to use.
