Retron 5 available for pre-order now on amazon!

I posted a topic a few weeks ago asking if anyone has heard anything new about the hyperkin retron 5. Turns out a few days ago it went up for pre order on amazon for $99

If you haven't seen it, its just about the best thing to ever come to legacy gaming. It plays nes, snes, sega genesis, gb, gbc, gba, famicon, and super famicon carts. It allows for save states, speeding up things and slowing down, some kind of cheats like thing (probably like game genie or something). Also it upscales games to 720p using hdmi and has some kind of sound altering software to fix sound issues common to emulation like this

you can also use orginal controllers, or their blu-tooth one and you can even use the controllers from one system with games on another. like a snes controller with genesis games

here's some info here and here

and here is the amazon page for the grey version, also comes in black: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZIX394/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I had a bunch of NES/SNES/Genesis cartridges I'd be all over this thing, but alas, my collection is non-existent. It'd probably be cheaper for me to just buy a SNES (the games/system I really want to play) and the cartridges.

The Amazon link is dead now.

Nothing fills me with confidence more than when the photos of an upcomming system are promo renders. :)

I've bought things like this before and they always suck. The games never sound or look the same, not every game works, sometimes it only plays in black and white, or the system just stops working and you whip it at the trash can. I'm impressed with some of it though, like the blu-tooth controller. I'd like to know if it actually does emulate games properly. If it actually works how I'd like it to, it would be amazing. So, I guess I'll wait a while to see how it performs.
