Competition for the Retron 5

[TDIRunner]

There might be some competition for the Retron 5 in the near future.  The interesting thing is that it will include TG-16/PC Engine support which apparently includes Super Grafx support. 

A few problems I see is that it doesn't appear to include US NES support.  However, that could be remedied with an adapter.  Another potential problem is with the Hu Card slot.  I wonder how far in the Hu Card needs to go in.  If the card has to be inserted almost all of the way in, a Turbo Everdrive might not fit.  That's unfortunate as this would be the only realistic way for me to play Super Grafx games without emulation.  Although this is technically an emulator anyway so nevermind. 

Thoughts?

No nes or master system support and i honestly never hear of this company. Also I own a Retron 5 and don't want to see anything better destroy it. Lol. Seriously i'm not that big on the tg16 and i wouldn't trade off the nes for that. It's kinda ugly to unless you like those old computers. I hope that's just an early build. Seriously don't make my Retron 5 extinct! =`(

I'm pretty sure it would support the Master System the same way the Retron 5 does (through Power Base Converter) and NES should work through a 72 to 60 pin adapter.  Not perfect, but it's something.

But I wanna live in a bubble and pretend it won't and that it'll suck. =(

Don't worry, I don't think this will make your Retron 5 obsolete.

Saw this a few days ago.  It's definitely a good thing to have some real competition for the retron 5.

I love the hu card support, and was very disappointed by the lack of it on the retron, but, I don't see me replacing the retron for one, unless it does other things significantly better.  The controllers already look better than the generic retron ones, but They aren't wireless, and I can plug standard snes pads into my retron.

The controller looks like an upgrade from the RetroN 5 anyways.

I ran across this in the last couple of days as well. I don't own a Retron5, but more and more I find myself interested in getting a convenient, all-in-one machine like this. I like the clean look of this system, in both the physical design and the menu design. That controller looks very nice too, but we'll have to see how it actually functions. If they include NES support somehow, I'll likely get one of these (pending price/availability).
