Looks like this has been pushed back, likely due to the virus.

Also, I noticed the Turbografx Mini has been pushed back to December!

December 31st is just an Amazon placeholder. The release date is TBA and hopefully much sooner than that.

People have been importing PC Engine Mini's, so some of these have already been produced.

I read this review with much interest.

I'm seriously considering getting one of these even if I already have most of the games.
I just like the concept. Every cart is like a "greatest hits" arcade collection.

I don't exactly know how I would review these... by the cart or by the game?

Really positive review from the people at Digital Foundry, who generally know their stuff. I was particularly pleased to see that it's a very low-lag system.

I like the rapid fire graded mini-reviews you used when reviewing the Capcom collection on PSP. The grades helped navigate the wall of text, and added context to any adjectives you didn't have time to really flesh out.

But a bit in the beginning or end about how each cart stacks up as a collection of games would probably be worthwhile, if only to help compare against each other. Especially when a system is represented by more than one cart.
