Hyperkin just released the Retron 5 a day or so ago. It's $200 instead of $100 like they projected. Although the specs are good and it's really the only option for retro gaming on a HDTV. (Composite cables show up black and white picture on competent cable). It has HDMI out, wireless bluetooth controller, hard drive ect. Anyone going to buy the Retron 5? Haven't decided yet, I might not get my $200 worth though. When I bought the Call of Duty games, with all the multiplayer hrs I could say the money was well spent. For those who don't know what a Retron 5 is, it's a retro cartridge game emulator. Plays NES,SNES, FAMI, Super FAMIcom, GENESIS, Sega Master System (with converter), and Gameboy Advanced. It suppose to be a big jump from Retron 3 since it's got much better wireless controllers, more game type support, game saves, ect. Not sure if it plays Master System cards, but Sega Genesis console does with the power base converter. I'd wish they'd add N64 cartridge support so I can play Battle Tanx again. But then again N64 didn't really take off so they might not add that in the next Retron (insert number here).
