Retro Games Ltd. along with Solutions 2 GO have released details this afternoon about their next retro console, The C64 Mini. For those of you who have no idea what this is, it's a miniature version of the Commodore 64, which came out in 1982 and was one of the biggest-selling home gaming consoles of the '80s.

The C64 Mini is going to come with 64 games installed with USB controllers that play like the originals and an HDMI output. Even though the games were 4:3 ratio at the time, it will support 16:9 ratio with 720p picture. Here's a few more details and a trailer for the console, which will be released on October 9th for a yet-to-be-named price.
