Shortly after the release of The Life of Pablo in 2016, Kanye West revealed that he planned to release a new album called TurboGrafx-16 that summer. The album got its title from a classic gaming console from the 1980s. That album never came, and in the time since, he released ye, Kids See Ghosts, and announced the still-unreleased Yandhi. It doesn’t look like TurboGrafx-16 will see the light of day any time soon, but today, it was announced that its namesake console is coming back to stores.
The TurboGrafx-16 Mini was announced today at E3 2019 by Konami. Similar to recent vintage console re-releases like the NES Classic, PlayStation Classic, and Sega Genesis Mini, the TurboGrafx-16 Mini comes pre-loaded with classic games like “R-Type,” “New Adventure Island,” “Ninja Spirit,” and more. Watch the trailer below. A release date for the console hasn’t been announced.
