Whos buying a Retron 5?!

[soera]

Ive heard that the messiah controllers for the SNES are by far the best wireless option. While I love wireless controllers on my PS3 (TV is quite a distance from the couch so wireless definitely makes more sense and their recharge option is fantastic) I really prefer wired controllers for most systems.

If this bad boy can successfully upscale GBA games to 720p, I'm in.

I don't know if I would want to see 240x160 upscaled to 720p...

I kind of wonder if the retron upscale would actually rival a scart RGB to component video setup for things like the genesis. Technically speaking, scart to component should be the most optimal setup for video. HDMI would only cause a loss in quality unless through emulation.

As much as I love having the individual consoles, I will probably get a RetroN 5 so I can have most of them in one console. In case I want to do any travelling with my retro games.

I'm going to wait until other people get it first to see if it does anything better than a modded Wii can. I'd also like to hear if it manages to run flash carts. That would actually be kind of weird if it did and you did a save state on the flash cart's menu screen...

I will be getting it for sure. but then again any system they put out I will get >_>.

Depending on it's price, Ill probably end up getting one somewhere down the line.
I like to take bring my consoles to my friend's places.
This would work perfect for throwing in a bag with a couple of games.
I stumbled across the announcement for the Retron 5 when I was looking to buy a 3.

I have the Messiah NES and SNES controllers and their performance is amazing, though most people are not a fan of the control pad.  It's not a typical d-pad, but a disc and it can be tricky for games that require precision like Ninja Gaiden, as it might register an up for what you intend to be a right/left.  For games that require less precision, they're wonderful.
