Egret II mini

I initially went for the ultimate bundle on Amazon JP but the shipping was over £200! Ended up cancelling that and I ordered the Egret and the 3 controllers separately and saved on the £200. I’ll only be missing the CD, book and the instruction cards, probably not worth the extra moolah anyway.

I'm guessing you guys are ordering direct? i'm hoping i can get around it by keeping the shipping to domestic japan then getting tenso to ems mine over to me although it's going to weigh a ton so i'm expecting the shipping cost to be over £100 at a minimum. still no idea what size that spinner panel is, the pics don't give a good guess. Is it going to be huge like the astro arcade stick or some small thing.

Oh wow I did not picture the extra controllers - either the stick or the spinner versions - to be that large. I was expecting more like 12cm across like with the Astro City Mini controllers. Even still the stick version doesn't appeal to me that much, whereas the spinner set comes with the extra games that it enables.

Not sure how I feel about these properly sized arcade sticks sold separately. I mean, I get that the controller on the system itself is barely usable due to the size, but the sticks are very expensive for being system exclusive (apart from PC) and are apparantly only of decent quality. Wish they had made the controller part of the Mini's a tad bigger instead. With all the accessories it ends up costing nearly the same as current gen consoles, specially when you factor in shipping and customs fees. And the Taito stick doesn’t look very comfortable at allLast edited by Nico87; 04-06-2021, 15:16.

I gave up trying to justify the cost, lol hell i end up spending more that what a PS5 cost on an arcade taiko no tatsujin controller
For me the killer apart from rainbow islands is that spinner panel, i have had to rely on console versions of arkanoid using the paddle controller as i never got a spinner for mame as they are a ballache to do as you either have to build one or pay a fortune for a prebuilt usb one. This time i can play both arcade arkanoids using a dedicated arcade controller instead of ghettoing it via a mouse.
