Title: New Retro-Themed Multi-Console - More Consoles Supported than Retron 5!
Post by: burningdoom on June 01, 2016, 04:42:36 pm
I NEED this!

Not only does it support all of these consoles (more than Retron 5), but it upscales them to HD!

And TurboGrafx-16!

Want to see the price of the re sellers at Mercado Libre, am pretty sure that they will gonna ask at least 300 bucks for it  :'(

The fact that it supports Turbo-Grafx16! took my attention.

So unfortunately, this article is a bit inaccurate. Gamester81 did a review on this that I watched. It doesn't support Master System (although they are saying an attachment is coming that will allow this). And there is no slot for NES games, despite it saying it's compatible (the slot works for Famicom games, though, which are a different size).

It's pretty cool, but the lack of NES and Master System slots is pretty "duh!".  It's nice to be inclusive for rarer systems like the TurboGrafx, but not to the detriment of two true classics.  The Bluetooth support for the PS3/PS4 controllers got my attention.
