Regular readers will know that I'm a bit of a fan of Nintendo's smallest console ever the Pokemon Mini, it didn't have a huge amount of games released but what titles that were brought to the device were pretty good and fun.
A number of games were only ever released in Japan including Pokemon Race Mini, an enjoyable title which sees you racing your Pikachu against other Pokemon over a number of different courses to obviously come first.
In Grand Prix mode there are three difficulty levels : Easy, Normal and Hard and three cups to compete in : Rookie, Super and Hyper. There's also a Time Attack mode, a Challenge mode and a Ditto mode (not sure what that is).
The graphics are really clear considering it's running on such a small device, the music is catchy too and the races are really fun and challenging, although a bit easy on the lowest difficulty, I won every time!
A Japanese language cartridge is pretty rare to come by these days, and when they do appear on eBay they tend to be expensive, thankfully an English language rom is available online which can be added to retro emulation handhelds and is by far the best way to play.
A fun and entertaining little race game for the Pokemon Mini, well worth a look.
