Next gen pick?

[Smiley]

At this time, nothing on either Xbox one or ps4 warrants me buying either. I have a Wii u and actually play it more than any last gen console.

Hyperkin Retron 5 plays the cartridges of nine classic consoles

Hyperkin has developed a reputation for modern takes on legendary game consoles that are often better than the real thing. If true, its just-unveiled Retron 5 is a nostalgia singularity. The hardware emulator can use its namesake five cartridge slots to play original games from no less than nine vintage consoles, including the Genesis (Megadrive), NES (Famicom), SNES (Super Famicom) and GameBoys from the original through to the GameBoy Advance. It keeps going: there's a custom Bluetooth controller that can handle every system, mix-and-match original controller support, save states and upscaling for both video (to 720p, through HDMI) as well as audio. While we'll have to see just how well the Retron 5 works whenever it exists as more than a conceptual graphic, that opportunity may come quickly when Hyperkin is tentatively shooting for a July release at less than $100. About all that's left for a follow-up Retron are Jaguar and Turbografx 16 slots -- pretty please?

Problem with the Retron 5 is that it uses Android to emulate the games. So while it allows for a lot of cool features like save-stating and graphic filtering, it also means it might have the limitations of Android emulation, like sound and button lag. Or worse, games that don't work at all. We won't know until it's officially out and people play test it.
