RetroN 4 by Hyperkin
JDavis:
Just to add my 2 cents... HDMI output on an NES isn't strictly impossible, as... the folks at everyone's favorite website that makes repros without donor carts and is responsible for the blue Nintendo World Championship reproductions (I think that's clear enough without breaking the repro-site-naming rule) is working on a mod for toploader NESes to enable HDMI out (see the NintendoAge link at the top of the aforementioned repro site)
... Although their mod basically involves a circuit board sitting on top of the NES PPU, reading in the signals coming to and from that chip and then makes the HDMI signal itself.
I fully expect Hyperkin will just feed the existing composite video into some HDMI converter.

Probably yes, hopefully no.
