I haven't had a lot of time to sit down with the PC Engine CoreGrafx Mini yet, but the little time I have spent with it so far has been enormously positive. There's a host of… weird games on there that I'm really enjoying checking out — and I'm extremely delighted to have an official copy of Parasol Stars that I can play any time. (Still kind of want an Atari ST version too, though.)
I haven't "dared" explore the Japanese side of the system so far as yet as it's a bit intimidating! Realistically speaking, I know that not all of the games are going to be incomprehensible — Snatcher is probably out of reach, sadly, but at least it's there if my Japanese does happen to improve in the future — but it's still just a bit daunting to look at all the stuff there and think "uh… where to begin?"
I guess the answer, really, is just to dive in to each and every thing, see what it is and see how I get along with it. Doubtless I'll discover some new favourites along the way — even from my limited experiences so far, I already know that I want to spend a lot more time with Chew Man Fu, for example!
