As for the unannounced games, I’m hoping for Jungle Hunt (1982) and especially the co-op titles Rastan Saga II (1988), Majestic 12: The Space Invaders Part IV (1990), Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga III (1991), and Darius Gaiden (1994).| W A R R I O R B L A D E | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ GAME: WARRIOR BLADE PLATFORM: ARCADE GENRE: ARCADE ACTION CREATOR: TAITO Copyright 1991 AUTHOR OF THIS FAQ: Kevin Butler AKA War Doc E-MAIL: kevinb(at)technologist(dot)com FAQ VERSION: 1.01 - TABLE OF CONTENTS UNIT I: INTRODUCTION 1. From a co-op standpoint, the overall games list is fairly impressive, with all three co-op Bubble Bobble games, Elevator Action Returns, Cadash, RayForce, and Arkanoid Returns numbering among the best-known titles. That’s 10 out of 40 games on the Egret II Mini itself with co-op and 2 out of 10 games on the expansion set with co-op, making for 12 co-op games in total. 8 of the 10 games included with the Paddle & Trackball Expansion set have been announced. As of this writing, 33 of the 40 built-in Egret II Mini games have been announced, with 7 more games to be revealed in a future announcement. Taito has been announcing the games list of the Egret II Mini in stages. Playing games like Qix and Arkanoid at home with proper arcade-style controls is quite a selling point to fans of classic Taito games.Ĭlever and authentic hardware is only one part of making a compelling mini arcade cabinet, though – fun and iconic games are also needed. This special controller also includes an SD card with 10 additional games, pushing the total number of playable games up to 50. These include a 6-button controller, an arcade stick, and, most uniquely, a Paddle & Trackball Controller. Additionally, several add-on controllers will be sold for the Egret II Mini. For example, the monitor can be rotated to a vertical “Tate” orientation, allowing for perfect visual recreation of vertically oriented games like Space Invaders and RayForce. It will be powered by USB.Įven though both the Egret II Mini and Astro City Mini are designed by Zuiki, this one sports several unique features. The Egret II Mini features HDMI output, two controller ports, an SD card slot, and a headphone jack.
The Astro City Mini measures 130 mm wide x 170 mm deep x 170 mm tall, whereas the Egret II Mini measures 155 mm wide x 200 mm deep x 209 mm tall. However, the Egret II is slightly larger than SEGA’s mini cabinet. The Egret II Mini is a faithful miniaturized version of the original cabinet done in the same style as the Astro City Mini. The Egret II is an iconic cabinet used by many Taito arcade games and features a rotatable screen to allow for both horizontal and vertical-ratio games. Unlike American arcade cabinets, most Japanese arcade cabinets are designed to be played while seated and do not feature custom cabinet artwork and designs. The original Egret II is a sitdown arcade cabinet manufactured by Taito in 1996. Even better, the optional Paddle & Trackball Game Expansion Set adds 10 more games and a very special controller. Scheduled for release in March 2022, the Egret II Mini will include 40 classic arcade games, 10 of which feature 2-player local co-op. Now to be outdone, Taito recently announced its own mini arcade cabinet: the Egret II Mini. In December 2021, Sega and a company called Zuiki released the Astro City Mini, a miniature arcade cabinet featuring 37 classic Sega arcade games.
