Entertainment Buddha's Justin Ludwig writes, "On paper, the all-in-one retro gaming system the Retron 5 could be the greatest thing to happen in retro gaming history. Gaming company Hyperkin is advertising a single machine that plays, now get this: NES, Genesis, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Famicom, Super Famicom, Mega Drive, and Master System games. This is literally my childhood wrapped up and summarized in one machine. The Retron 5 is not yet available and has already been delayed but if this system is able to deliver everything that it promises, this could be a gigantic leap forward for the retro gaming industry."
Entertainment Buddha's Justin Ludwig writes, "For a time it was grouped with Bigfoot, unicorns, and the Loch Ness monster, but now the Retron 5 is no longer a mythical beast. As reported by multiple outlets, Hyperkin is now officially shipping out Retron 5 units. The all-in-one retro console will be able to play games from ten retro systems: NES, Famicom, SNES, Super Famicom, Master System, Sega Genesis, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. Both PAL and NTSC games are compatible with the system."
