Re: RetroN 3 - NES, SNES and Genesis All in One
Well, I may sound like a heretic, but I don't really care for the old controllers today. They were good at the time, but I don't think they measure up with what we have now - particularly the Dual Shock 3 and Wii Pro controllers (the 360 gets dinged for its sub-par D-pad). I guess I'm spoiled by the handles, and of course being wireless is a big plus.

If they fix the NES issues with some of the more complicated carts (I'm looking at you Castlevania 3) and for under $100 I'll seriously consider it. I have plenty of NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA, and this would be completely worth it.

The same company has announced the RetroN 5, which allows you to play games from even more systems. This thing is ridiculous and I want it.

Yeah, honestly if that worked well, I'd be tempted to buy that instead of a PS4.

We love what the Hyperkin Retron 5 brings to the table, namely compatibility with ten classic gaming system cartridges: NES, Famicom, Super NES and Famicom, Sega Master System, Genesis and Mega Drive, and Game Boy original, Color and Advance. The problem is, Hyperkin's played coy about it's price and availability... until now. It'll be available on December 10th, and it'll be on sale in both Europe (for €89.99) and in the US ($99.99). And, it turns out that the Retron 5 that'll go on sale will have a few more tricks up its sleeve than the prototype we played with back at E3. The exterior's been modified to better cool the internal components, and it'll pack a work with the Sega Power Base Converter that lets you play Sega's Master System games in the Genesis slot on top. So, now you can officially start carving out space in your entertainment center for the Retron 5 -- which shouldn't be difficult once you've cleared out all the elder consoles it replaces. Less is more, people. Update: We mistakenly wrote previously that the Retron 5 comes with a Power Base converter, in fact, you'll need to bring your own converter to the party. |

Should I bother waiting for reviews on this bad boy before pre-ordering?
And am I weird for being more excited for this than for the XBone or PS4? |

Re: RetroN 3 - NES, SNES and Genesis All in One
PS4 and the Retron together are the price of an Xbox One, so I feel quite alright getting both.
