RetroN 5 is a new generation gaming console for nostalgic gamers.

Back in 2010, I wrote about the RetroN 3 game console , which allows you to play old games without any emulators, using cartridges from a wide variety of game consoles of the past. The developers have significantly improved this game console, letting it go to the “wide screen”. In other words, the console that supports the game with NES, SNES, Genesis, Mega Drive, Super Famicom, Game Boy Color, Game Boy, Famicom and Game Boy Advance cartridges allows you to play on modern TV with resolutions up to 720p. There are other goodies.

In particular, the console allows you to save anywhere in the game, continue the game from any save. It is possible to increase and decrease the speed of the gameplay, configure the control in a PS3-like interface. In addition, saves are saved on any removable drive, including SD cards. The total number of slots for cartridges of different formats - 5 pieces.

The cost of the console, the developers do not say, but it is known that the price will not exceed $ 100. Let me remind you that the former version, RetroN 3, cost only $ 70. Of course, if you do not have old cartridges, you will have to spend money on their purchase. Nevertheless, many gamers of this kind is full. Personally, I have somewhere else Rock'n'Roll Racing for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

Probably, there will be questions like “You can make a trolley bus from black bread, but why?”. But gamers understand that the game from the original cartridge in no case can not be replaced by the game through any emulator with the ROM downloaded from the Network.
