Retron 5 (aka 4)
dneill:
I just picked up the Retron3 for my tiny house, and it suits my needs just fine. Mostly because I need all the space I can get, and having my three system piled on top of each other can be a pain sometimes.
Azarkhel:
I'm kind of curious to see how this thing turns out, though I bet it'll have some typical Hyperkin oversight. Something stupid like the pin connectors death gripping the carts haha.
Megatron:
Here's a page hying the new stuff. I just hope they deliver on half of what they say they will.
I guess it'll play all famicom, super famicom and megadrive games without problem
My body is ready.

Megatron:
Also, I know this part is controversial, but I am THRILLED for save states.
I have all the original consoles, and have played games since 1986...but there are some that I am just sick to death of trying to beat legit (I'm looking at YOU, Double Dragon III), and this coming from a guy who straight up beat Adventure Island. I just hope it works.
CommunistGamer:
I would get it because recently a sewer backup fried ever console in my basement, so this could serve as a place holder until i want to get all my old consoles replaced.
