This console promises compatibility with all major consoles PS1 and under. With possibilities of more in the future. HD, or course.
Are you getting one? Before you decide, watch the launch trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pucot56iRiwBefore I saw this trailer, I was not interested. From the sounds of it, you would have had to buy a seperate "module" for each console compatibility.
Well, the trailer shows that the base unit will be able to play all cd-based consoles the system is compatible with, no extra "modules" needed. The modules will be for the cartridge based consoles. And considering I already have a Retron 5 (with the Master System/Game Gear adapter), I don't really need any cartridge modules (other than the TG-16 one, which I will likely get).
Now, you may be wondering what cd-based games the base module will be compatible with. From what I've read and see in the trailer we're getting Turbo-CD, Sega CD, PS1, Neo Geo CD, and Sega Saturn. Holy crap, I'm in for that!
The price is a hefty $250, but considering how many consoles you're getting on the base unit, and considering there's no other machine that does this for disc-based consoles, I feel it's worth the price.
