The mini console is sold EXCLUSIVELY (?!) through Amazon Japan. The pre-orders will launch from July 15. (If you want to get the Japanese PC Engine mini, click here.) The price is not known yet (only the JP console has a price: 10500 JPY, so possibly 100 bucks?), but the release date is: it’s March 19.
