Last note’s
This is the forth release of the system and I think the design is brill and a awesome concept that would save a lot of space for a retro gamer like myself . Apparently there has been some capability issues in the past that I have been previously told and also some peripherals that aren’t supported . But as I have not had the chance to get a hands on any released Retron’s in the past, I an unable to give out my own solid opinion. For purest gamers and people that are after the nostalgic value you cant beat the real thing . But If this console is compatible for all regions and could boot Roms from the USB or Card Slot that would defiantly be a plus . As this would give gamers the chance to play Fan translated Games IE Tales of Phantasia that we never got play.
As for a release date there hasn’t been a official date confirmed or even any info of the pricing .Head over to their Facebook page, to get further info on the unit and the latest news on this beast of a release.
