No doubt going to buy this. I have domestic systems but for Mega Drive,Super Famicom,Famicom this is a must for me.

Any suggestions for Famicom,Super,Famicom and Mega Drive that did not get a US release? Also anyone else not want this? I avoided clone consoles in the past but the import thing sells me

Oh man, that's awesome. Wish I actually had more cartridge systems.

I'll likely bite once it's out, but earlier Retrons had the typical compatibility issues known for clones and that kept me away.  Once I hear about how well it scales HDMI, that'll be the deciding factor. Hope it does HDMI better than my Neo-Geo X.

I've been following this for a bit, and this is the most interest in a clone I've had since the Generation NEX. I worry about compatibility issues that all of these systems have, but I'll probably consider picking one of these up.

As to imports, I'm sure a little Googling will find a lot of these threads, but if you're going for clone hardware why not just take the leap to a flash cart to go with it?

Oh, and since it does everything else, why not add in a slot for HuCards?

I read the worked on the compatibility issues this time so games like Castlevania 3 will work.

As for hucards. Maybe Retron 6

what's the price? My wife has been wanting a Retron 3, so this would be even better

[Leynos]

All I know is they promise be under a 100$. Not sure of that means 99$ or 80$

I've been really interested in this since Duke posted about it a few weeks ago.  I probably won't buy it on launch day, but the HDMI connection could be a huge push if it ends up scaling very nicely.  $50 would probably be an immediate impulse buy for me, but I'm going to assume it starts at $99.

I'm very interested in buying this.  But I'm gonna wait until Gamester 81's review first.

[RetroRage]

Wait...no 32x slot?  Screw this piece of junk.

His console collection is impressive but never get why he calls them reviews. He has never reviewed anything. Just info videos. Which I like more. Just weird to me he calls a wiki video a review.

Ehh I dunno if I agree with that completely.  The FC16 Go/SupaBoy is a review video, as is the Neo Geo X review, Retron3 and Retro Twins system review, all definitely review videos and so on.  He does have a ton of just info videos about rare systems which I love, but he's for sure a reviewer too.  Either way he seems like a really cool guy and not some snarky reviewer that hates everything just for the sake of hating it, so I'll trust his judgement over Joystiq which has basically already told its' viewers to pass on it.

Im going to buy that for sure.
