Continuing the western push for the Astro City Mini, Funstock will be offering the unit for sale in the UK, and has it ready for pre-order now.
Go west
Just in case you’re unfamiliar, the Astro City Mini Console has had a little bit of an interesting ride. A 1/6th reproduction of the 90s arcade original, the unit first appeared in Japan, and seemed like it was going to be exclusive to that territory.
Fast forward a little over a year (I think) though, and here we are with the tiny arcade landing for pre-order from select retailers in western markets. The latest of those is the UK’s Funstock, who actually has the console ready for those who’d like to secure one right now. No hoops to jump through.
Cast in resin, which is interesting in and of itself, the Astro City Mini Console features a joystick and 6 buttons, as well as built-in speakers and a 4″ screen. The little guy can also connect to a TV, and has optional (sold separately) gamepads.
It’s also pretty loaded, with 37 Sega classics.
