The Astro City Mini release will be accompanied by the Astro City Mini Amustment Style Kit (sold separately), which adds a few accessories to give it that whole retro feel. There’s also an Astro City Mini Control Pad that will be sold separately.

While no word of a release outside of Japan for now, the Astro City Mini will retail for ¥12,800 (Around PHP6,500) while the Amusement Center Kit and Control Pad will sell for ¥3,980 and ¥2,780 (Around PHP2,000 and PHP1,400) respectively.

A local release is quite likely, as the Sega Genesis mini was well received when it released through various retailers. Barring any problems, you can expect to see this locally at around the same time over the Holidays.
