Oh I understand that. It's just that a friend of mine and I have been thinking seriously about getting either Retron 4 or 5 lately. I'm very interested to hear more gamer experiences with it. The controller looks like garbage for 5, but the one for 4 looks fine, except 4 seems to be impossible to find for some reason. Retro 3 also looks fine, except that it only plays NES, SNES and Genesis. 5 obviously looks like the best, as it plays 9 "different" systems (NES, Famicom, SNES, Super Famicom, Genesis, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, Mega Drive). But there's the controller it comes with (you can plug in real system controllers).
I'm just curious if it's worth the trouble or not. Have an old NES, SNES, and Genesis and TG16, but the last two are missing the power chords or RF Switch, and while the NES is fine, the SNES seems to be on the fritz a bit. It would be nice to have something to continue playing them on, and it would be a nifty bonus to be able to play old GB system games on tv too. |
The other part of me says that in all reality, a Retron 3 would be perfectly fine for my needs. It is the NES, SNES, and Genesis that I care most about. Between the massive amount of games I want to play on those consoles, not to mention games I would love to play on N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS2, etc...it is already more than a lifetime of gaming for me.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
