Egret Mini II is the mini console from Taito that resembles the original arcade cabinet and includes a rotating screen for vertical shoot’em ups .
Launched at the beginning of 2022 with 50 playable games, on December of the same year the first expansion card with other 10 games were released (including Grid Seeker, Gekiridan and Cleopatra’s Fortune), while a year later the second volume was released, again with 10 new titles (Operation Wolf, Crime City and Twin Cobra 2 among them).
Considering also the 10 games released alongside the trackball controller, actually there are a total of 70 playable games on Egret Mini II, the largest line-up for a mini console.
Today Taito has announced the release of the third volume, this time also with 10 titles but there will be held an event to show them to the public and press.
The event will be showed online through Famitsu official Youtube channel on 22 August at 20:00 local time (04:00 PDT, 07:00 EDT, 12:00 GMT and 13:00 CET).
