Amazon Affiliate Links in Video Description as well as my original Taito Egret II Review - Let me know what you think of this Control Pad and Arcade Control Panel for your Taito Egret II Mini Arcade Console!
This is the best mini arcade console in the market right now. I paid full price 2 years ago. Got the extra carts and accessories including the trackball/spinner controller for Arkanoid . No regrets! Honestly investing on this is a much better deal than paying a couple hundred EACH for New Wave Toys and Numbskull mini arcades. Don't forget to update the firmware with a blank SD card. Glitches and latency issues were fixed ever since this came out.
Awesome feedback thank you for sharing
I totally agree with it providing much more value than the Numskull - at least for my use case. We also have to understand that there are more use cases. I actually love the fact that Numskull Arcades are one game only and look like the original cabinet. I did buy a couple and sent them back. They had issues, took up way too much space and the prices were simply ridiculous. I am sure there will be some people with a lot of buyer's remorse on those machines, but also a lot who will love them. For me the price/quality/value ratio is way off.
Well said, and I can corroborate. Updating the firmware made a big difference as you said, including scaling the games to fit better on the screen. The lag (for me) was greatly improved when playing on the unit's screen (and played fine when using HDMI out).
Did the same and it really makes the Egret 2 Mini a full-blown console experience that has a permanent spot next to my TV now. I honestly play this like a console 99% of the time and I love it. Preordered Taito Classics Vol. 2 as well.
Awesome man thanks for sharing
Egret Mini 2 is no joke.
Had one since it came out. You can tell Taito really put a lot of love into the system, in fact , they are still releasing games for it in game packs.
Way better than the Astro City mini, in which Sega just gave up on.
Thanks for sharing!
Astro City is cool too. The Egret is naturally better because it was released after the Astro. Subsequent products are always better!
I have the control pad and its not bad. It does help in terms of size for on the go gameplay. The arcade stick does help for serious games like Kaiser Knuckle
Yeah man loving the arcade stick
Love the egret II mini, thanks for the review and heads up on deals.
No problem thanks for watching!
Great review! Another great option is the 8BitDo M30 2.4g wireless controller. That way you can kick back on the couch if you've got the Egret hooked up to your TV.
Ooooooooo! Nice! Thank you
@@PDubsArcadeLoft You're welcome. :-) It's a great little controller. They specifically advertise it for the Genesis Mini, but I've tried it out on the Switch, PC, the Astro City Mini, and the Egret II Mini, and it works on all of them. 🙂
While it does work on the Switch I probably wouldn't recommend it without remapping the buttons, since the ABXY buttons are mapped Genesis style by default, which is the opposite of the Nintendo standard. Might work ok with NSO Genesis games, but I don't have NSO to test it out. You're better off using their SN30 Pro controller if you want a controller with the d-pad in the prominent position, since that one uses the Nintendo ABXY button mapping.
I'm right there with you. Too expensive for me. I also bought it when it went on sale for $160. In August right? Then it went right back up. So glad I snagged one as it is awesome!
Yeah man $160 ok, $229 no way lol
Excellent overview I’ll have to keep my eyes o out for this sale again … I waited this long what’s a few more weeks 😂 This is something I would actually play due to the fact its expandable … neat device
Yeah the deals just ended
I bought one recently and love it! You need to do the firmware update. I noticed the black bars on your games. Those go away with the latest firmware update.
And the latest Firmware update also allows for the use of the Cyberstick accessory which can be used for the newest Taito Arcade Memories card that features analog control using games like Night Striker and Operation Wolf
Ok I'm on it! Looking up the firmware now!
Nice review PDubs. Will you be getting the trackball with spinner?
Just ordered it today!!!
Changing gears here.... Speaking of arcade cabs, wasn't Gamestop partnering with someone to release an arcade cab? Can't find anything about it now, but recall you and your fellow YTs talking about it, some months ago.
Oh the "Iconic Arcade"? Lol they are still taking preorders in Gamestop Canada lol I doubt that thing will ever be released.
Atgames are you watching copy that rotational screen technology and put it in the new ALU 4K in an iircade gold shaped xl cabinet! I think these lil Egrets are really sweet and usable, not just for display but actually use it!
Agreed 👍
I really like the arcade stick, I also use it on my raspberry. it is of good quality, is it sanwa? I am not sure
Ive been looking at this for a while waiting for a price drop or clearance sale. On a side-note I have an astro city mini and gamepad. I was disappointed that the gamepad didnt work well or at all with other consoles. Hopefully these can work with other consoles so it feels like more bang for your buck.
I haven't tried it with anything else yet, usually use my 8BitDo stuff for that.
It’s on sale right now.
PDubs,
If Unico somehow figured out how to get the screen to rotate with the same mechanism as the Egret II, that machine would be a serious contender to my Rec Room Masters Alphacade as an upgrade. But Unico would also have to give us Suzo HAPP controls and sticks instead of Sanwa :)
What would really be cool is if Unico could figure out how to do a control deck mechanism where you could push down on the deck, and and flip it to reveal a new control deck on the other side, underneath, with spinners, trackballs and 8 way rotatable Glen Ikari sticks, the deck stays part of the machine nothing to remove and physically swap out. I think the company who figures out both will have the sweetest spot in the market :)
vgv
Nice ideas! I heard through the grapevine their rotating mechanism is manual like the AtGames Legends Ultimate Mini
I wish they would have made the console the size of the arcade control panel like the size of the capcom
Retrostation. 8 inch rotatable monitor? Yes please!!!
That would've been sweet!!!
When the Control Pad is connected to a PC, is it an X input or a D input?
FYI the Astro city arcade stick and pad are both compatible with this device. I prefer Astro pad for d-pad and buttons over egret pad.
Oooo I don't have those!!
@PDubsArcadeLoft the Astro City control pad is decent in price, but good luck finding the official arcade stick at reasonable prices.
@@figment1988 I just saw it for $500 on Amazon- holy smokes
I want one. But they’re just still so pricey for what you’re getting. All these games are so easily emulated. Idk. Maybe when they are clearanced.
I didn’t know this had Darius Gaiden on it and wasn’t aware of these separate control panels. Can you use the joystick on anything else like a ps4/5 or Xbox? I guess there are other alternatives for that but I like the smaller form factor for space saving.
Honestly, I've only tried them on the Taito mini, if they can work on other stuff I'll report back
@@PDubsArcadeLoft👍
It works well on the Evercade VS system. You can even reassign buttons. Makes a big difference in many of the arcade ports on that system.
@@Chan_Prado interesting
i suck with joysticks and i have a bad feeling i wont like this pad after what you said :(
Up to you man! Just my thoughts!
@@PDubsArcadeLoft i wish hori would release a pad
I didnt buy this concole but now I want one
LOL I really enjoy this thing! The 40 game selection is well thought out good mix of vertical games and horizontal etc
Looks like that cable in the back was part of the reason for the extra wobble.
Still wobbles regardless lol
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Yep, that’s why noted as extra wobble 😀
@@rushmore3927 nice catch though!
I still prefer the Capcom retrostation over my taito egret
I never got a retro station - I did see some bad reviews for it - I think that scared me away. Can you add more games to it?
@@PDubsArcadeLoft yes and it’s very easy.Softmod from flash drive.Please do a video on it one day.I think whatever reviews you saw misinformed you.I own all the mini arcades and the Retrostation blows them all out the water.The audio is great with nice bass,the sticks and buttons are great and the screen is much larger.
Anyone try or know if the control panel works on a PS4?
Way over priced even when it's on sale they are still expansive. A two player IIRrcade countercade at Target and a few other places were on sale for less than 100 bucks. It doesn't have the rotate screen but they are bigger and more steady. I really wanted the Marvel Super Heroes one but missed it by a few days. Maybe next year.
It's better to get a Powkitty or Abernic than this a joke of a game system.
E-WASTE
What don't you like about it?
Too bad you release the vid just a day ago and no longer on sale 😞I was ready to take the full kit n kaboodle! I'll have to keep a look out for a discount in the future
Sale ended? That sucks. I had just received them the day before the video came out. Just add to your wishlist etc for future deals
