The extraordinary interest aroused by the previous model of SEGA Astro City Mini pushes the top of the Japanese video gaming company to expand the family of mini arcade cabs announcing Astro City Mini V, a small jewel for retrogaming enthusiasts.
The new product unveiled by the historic Japanese company reproduces “in small” the legendary Astro City arcade cabin that, since 1993, has wasted the heritage in coins of millions of visitors to the salgiochi.
Unlike the previous Mini edition of Astro City, the Mini V version uses a vertical screen and includes 22 games, mainly scrolling shooters like Out Zone or Sorcer Striker, but there is also room for numerous hitches Here is the complete list of video games integrated into the system:
Action Fighter
Aero Fighters (Sonic Wings)
Armed Police Batrider
BATSUGUN
Battle Bakrid Unlimited Version
Cosmo Police Galivan
Desert Breaker
Dogyuun
Fire Shark (Same! Same! Same!)
Grind Stormer (V/V)
Gunbird
Moon Cresta
Out Zones
Raiden
Samurai Aces (Sengoku Ace)
Sorcer Striker (Mahou Daisakusen)
Strikers 1945
TATSujin
Earth Crest
Truxton II (TATSujin Oh)
Wrestle War
ZAXXON
The new Astro City Mini model will be produced in collaboration with Game Center Mikado, a Tokyo company that will take care to create the button layout, the body and the game selection interface, as well as the back panel
Sega Astro City Mini V will be marketed in Japan in the first half of 2022 at the price of 19,580 yen, corresponding to the current exchange rate at € 152,76. For the eventual landing in the West of the mini arcade cabin of SEGA, therefore, it is very likely that we will have to wait until mid 2022 and perhaps even beyond.
