I recently got a Retron 2 HD to play my old NES Games on and Start an SNES Collection. Been Very Happy With it So Far.

[Erume]

Loved the video! After several days reading and watching about the retrons, I made my mind, thank you!

[MrMartellSincere]

One day, I'll get my hands on the Sega Genesis, SNES and NES clone consoles for my gaming setup

[phantomhiphop]

literally was just looking for something like this and it popped up in my recommended lol

[ajboomer]

Although there are limits on CD-based consoles, it could still be possible for Hyperkin to make a RetroN CD with support for PlayStation, Saturn, and 3DO games.

[ilovemybeard]

Thanks for an honest review…there was a lot of hate for it

But you gave the best review overall 💪

[Prime-X]

FYI: The console with the highest capacity is the Retro Freak due to it being able to play Turbografx/PC Engine.

I would love to see more information on flash cartridge support on these console reviews. the ability or inability to play flash carts is what would make up my mind on purchasing one.

Now that there is CFW that allows you to play roms off the SD card, I’d say the Retron 5 is the clear choice. Though if you don’t have a ton of games for all those systems, something simpler and less expensive like the R3 might be a better choice.

That Hyperkin Retron 5 is awesome!! Too bad there’s not a N64 slot to play N64 games!!! That would be epic!!

[zombieking]

i live close by and have purchased from you guys before i highly recommend them

[severinevans]

I just found out about the clone consoles not too long ago and I have almost every one I can think of now from Retrons to Super Retro Trio to the Analogue systems. I love them all and every one does it's own thing a bit differently. Plus I have a huge collection of games. Started as stuff I enjoyed playing and that I remembered growing up that I would play with my grandma. Then I just started collecting other things that I haven't played and trying new stuff.

I have one and my only complaint is the controller lag its no where near as quick as original hardware.

[ritualdelo]

Fantastic video exactly the comparison I was looking for… Does this work with the zapper in a crt with hdmi to composite adapter?

[kdnladner]

I was wanting to buy a Retron 5 but I hate this blueish color but I found a black one. However as I was viewing the details the black Retron 5 was made available in 2013 but the blueish one was made available in 2021. Does that mean the blueish one is the better one?

[greggiggle]

I feel dumb — if it says it can play NES, can it also play Famicom? Like Retron 2 for example.

[hajnik]

Does the Zapper work with Retron 4 HD? I can’t find any information on it. Thanks!

[AndrinhoD]

Is the original joystick that came with rechargeable? It doesn't appear to be the battery!

[ericbarlow]

I like my Retron 5 for its ability to allow me to patch the games. I can play Japanese games with English translations.

[jacobleslie]

why haven't they made an n64 yet :(
