Hyperkin's five-slot retrogaming solution RetroN 5 is now up for pre-order at Amazon ahead of an October 31 release date.
The RetroN 5 is compatible with original Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance cartridges, and also supports the Famicom, Mega Drive, Game Boy and Game Boy Color cart formats. The package includes a wireless Bluetooth controller, and the console itself features an array of controller ports, supporting original NES, SNES, and Genesis peripherals.
While 8-bit and 16-bit consoles maxed their video output capabilities at S-Video (or worse, composite), the RetroN 5 features HDMI output for all supported games. The platform also offers a number of features common to emulation software, allowing players to speed up and slow down gameplay at will and enabling the use of savestates. Joystiq's JC Fletcher previously weighed in on the console, praising its space-saving form but admitting that it fills a small niche "between pawn shops and Virtual Console."
The RetroN 5 is available in black and grey, and is priced at $99.99.

I like how "Retro Gaming" takes a leap from Sega Genesis to Game Boy Advance. xD

It looks pretty cool but honestly with all the time I'll be spending on the PS4 buying this will be a waste cuz it would just sit there n pick up dust lol :D

I don't really think it's something to buy for immediate use, but more so for the sake of having something to play old games on when you don't feel like hunting down all the older consoles (or prefer not to use emulation programs).
