Step into the elegant age of 16-bit CD gaming with NEC’s PC Engine DUO-R—a sleek, all-in-one machine that merged HuCARD and CD-ROM² power into one futuristic white shell. Released in 1993, this was NEC’s refined response to the Duo’s early flaws: quieter drive, sturdier build, and a design that looked ready for the next century.
About this unit
Used. Tested and working. Region: NTSC-J (Japan). HuCARDs are Japan-region only. CD-ROM² / Super CD-ROM² are generally region-free (Arcade titles require an Arcade Card Duo).
The console and controller show scuffs, minor surface scratches, and some yellowing. The controller’s rapid-fire (turbo) function works properly. Includes official power adapter and AV connection cable.
