With any luck, the Egret II Mini expansion should be arriving tomorrow. It really puzzles me why none of the other mini-consoles have gone this particular route for expanding their libraries. I mean, yeah, I love the MD Mini 2, but I probably would have loved an expansion game set on an SD card with a nice package and maybe a bonus soundtrack/DVD even more, y'know?
I think think the Egret II Mini is the best of the mini-machines. Despite some input lag issues (which bothers BBH more than me) and the lack of alternate ROMsets for US/World, the functionality and expandability is really head and shoulders above everything else. Plus you can use the optional extra sticks/pads/spinners on PC too!
2023 is Taito's 70th anniversary, so here's hoping they've got some more announcements in store that isn't just another Puzzle Bobble. Wasn't there a hint of Darius III somewhere...?
