RetroN 5 – one retro console to rule them all

If you’re a gamer, you’ll want the RetroN 5. It’s a scientific fact. But why?

Well, it combines some of the greatest retro consoles ever made into one souped-up old school gaming package. Beating within the heart of the understated black shell lies the power to play NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Famicon and Game Boy cartridges.

Two controller ports for each system are supported but there’ll be two Bluetooth controllers included in the box, just in case the years haven’t been kind to your tangled cables.

Due for release in July, the RetroN 5 will set you back under US$100 and will arrive with HDMI out and 720p upscaling smarts, in addition to warm fuzzy feelings inside.
