Playmaji, Inc. and extreme Co., LTD have announced that Polymega, the world’s first HD modular game console, will include five licensed TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine pack-in titles on the EM04 “Turbo” Element Module Set.

With the upcoming module, owners will be able to play original TG-16 and Japanese PCE HuCard games on the system region free, using either OEM controllers or the in-house designed 6-button “Turbo” retro controller, one of which is packed in with each Module Set.

TurboGrafx CD and PC-Engine CD games can be played through the base unit itself, without the need for a module.

Bonus Digital TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine Pack-in Titles:

  • Moto Roader モトローダー (NA + JP Versions)
  • Moto Roader II モトローダーII (JP Version)
  • Double Dungeons ダブルダンジョン (NA + JP Versions)
  • Shockman 改造町人シュビビンマン2 新たなる敵 (NA + JP Versions)

With the unveiling of the five TG-16 pack-in titles, Playmaji’s commitment to preserving both popular retro games and hidden/import gems is even more clear.
