For You Classic Gamers Out There
Hyperkin, the makers of Retron game consoles that play classic game cartridges from Nintendo, Sega, and other classic consoles, is coming out with their latest addition of their classic game console - the Retron 5! This console will play games from 10 classic gaming consoles: NES, Super Nintendo, Sega systems, Gameboy, and Famicon (the Japanese Nintendo console.) What will separate this console from the earlier versions, and from computer emulators, is that it will offer 1080p resolution and a number of filters. So, your old games will look great if you choose to hook it up to an HD TV (it will come with HDMI hook ups.) You can also choose a "classic" appearance if you play them unfiltered.
The system will come with its own controller, but will have compatibility with the original controllers from those systems. The Retron 5 comes out in April and will be around $100. While I love my PS3 and love sports gaming on the newer systems, I always felt the classic games had better game play. Some of those games just never seem to get too old for me! Or maybe I'm just getting too old for newer games? Either way, I'm psyched about this! Any classic gamers here? Retron 5 Plays Classic '90s Video Games - Tom's Guide Hyperkin.com
