    Default The SUPER RETRO TRIO discussion thread.

    So, is anyone going to be getting this over the Retron 5? Also, what did you guys think about the system they released before this known as the Retro Duo? One thing I do like about this system is that the controller ports are on the front of the console and not scattered all around the sides and whatnot, I think it would be a bit easier and nicer not to loose the extra 2-3 inches of controller reach or having to turn your system sideways when playing NES or Genesis on the Retron 5 if you're in need of extra cable length.

    What do you guys think of this?

    Honestly, I most likely won't buy either. I'm part of the original hardware die hard crowd. However, these two I find pretty interesting. Perhaps one of them will change my mind about clones?

    The 5 has me slightly interested just because of the whole HCMI thing. If that provides the sort of image that it should, then I'll grab one.

    I have some interest in the Retron 5, because of the higher resolution and save state features. I'll wait and see what other people think of it first.

    The Retron 5 has much more interest from me. A custom OS, numerous useful modern technologies like savestates and simulated scanlines, plus built-in GBA support.
