I had $100 set aside for this beast - but I ended up getting a VIC-20 plus games instead.

So yeah, I'll end up waiting for reviews.

That's neat. I'm interested in old computers. I look forward to hearing about it.

I looked the systems spec post on Hyperkin over and over. I was almost sold on this when I first heard about it. I preordered a while ago and I am dying for Dec 10 to get here. I am curious to see how the games look over HDMI. 99 bucks to combine all these systems is completely worth it in my opinion.

I hope a user on there that has a SNES flash cart ends up buying one of these things because I'm dying to know if they work together. If I could buy this system and a couple flash carts....forget about it. I'd snatch this up fast.

So I went back to Newegg, and I see that only *1* color of the Retron 5 is out of stock (black). The gray color is still accepting pre-orders, so I put mine in today! Can't. Freaking. Wait. The only other console I got at launch was the SNES, so this is pretty exciting.

Despite my skepticism, I am still interested in this device. I look forward to hearing what all you early adopters think about Hyperkin's new toy.

I, on the other hand, will not be pre-ordering. Let me know how well this thing works on December 10th.

Oh we will.

Yup! I'm liking the fact that you can use any controller for any console, so you can use the SNES pad for any of the games. That's great.

I bought an Everdrive N8 and a Genesis flash cart. I will be trying these the day the system hits my doorstep and I will let you know how it goes.

That is awesome! Thank You!

I plan on getting the Retron 5 as well. I don't care if it looks like a wacky chimera of a console, since I currently don't have a working NES, Famicom, or Superfamicom anyway. Playing my GBA games on TV will be awesome as well! I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out, and I will give my review as well. These sorts of hybrid consoles always make me a little skeptical at first.
