It's finally here, 14 months after my order. The almost vaporware Retron 5 has arrived meaning I can finally hark back to my youth, kick back and play some retro games. Of which I have built up a small collection in the many months since ordering.The Retr...
Bottom line After taking over a year to hit these shores, does the Retron live up to the hype? I would probably have to say no. Not many things I feel would be able to live up to the levels of hype recorded around the Retron 5. When I pre-ordered I paid around £89 fo...

Still, at over £100, this isn't an impulse purchase - especially when you consider that you have to then go out and buy the original cartridges, many of which are actually more expensive in their original form than they are via download services on the Wi...

Bottom line If you're keen on your vintage gaming, then the RetroN 5 is your dream ticket. Save data issue aside, it's the perfect package for anyone who grew up in the 8 and 16-bit eras. You'll need to dust off those old cartridges of course -- or invest in some n...

Late last month, Hyperkin confirmed that the Retron 5 would finally be hitting store shelves in North America on 6th June, bringing to an end a journey which has taken much longer than anticipated and has consequently allowed rival Retro-Bit to get its ow...
Bottom line After years of merely providing a cheap and viable solution for that fateful moment when your existing retro console bites the dust, clone systems have at last come of age with the Retron 5. This isn't just an inexpensive way to replace ageing or decrepit...

The RetroN 5 is Hyperkin's all-in-one retro gaming powerhouse, and offers the ability to play NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games - all in beautiful 720p HD. Is this the best way to experience vintage gaming on moder...
Good The most striking element of the RetroN 5 is its video output unlike previous "clone" consoles, the system uses a HDMI connection to display a gloriously sharp HD image on your flatscreen TV. That's not all, though you can apply various filters to the ima...
Bad Like most clone systems, the RetroN 5 is saddled with some disappointedly build quality. The top of the unit where the carts are inserted feels like it's about to snap at any moment, while the wireless pad boasts a microswitched stick that doesn't really...
Bottom line While there are some teething troubles which need to be overcome before the RetroN 5 can truly live up to its incredible potential, even at this stage the system is a highly recommended purchase for dedicated retro gamers. It's the best way to experience...
