Basically a Retron 5 with only one slot. Edited January 8, 2020 by Tulpa Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2144-retron-jr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin03 | 321 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I never like the look of their consoles. Very generic appearance. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2144-retron-jr/#findComment-39988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If it's cheap enough, it wouldn't be a bad device. I was actually pretty happy with how the Retron5 handled Game Boy games, even if the rest of the emulation had noticeable and variable levels of input lag.

BortLicensePlate | 661 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Everything I've ever bought from them stopped working. Their build quality is pretty crap 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2144-retron-jr/#findComment-40015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickRPG | 42 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 not interested in that company, on top of that fact that I will never ever "blow up" a portable game to a screen. I'm more than happy playing them on my actual portables. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2144-retron-jr/#findComment-40023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifightdragons | 234 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 And inside Hyperkin's products you'll find total, utter crap. To be fair though, they're horrible emulation boxes that can't even accurately emulate the games. Good take: https://www.retrorgb.com/hyperkin-raises-middle-finger-at-retro-gamers.html 3 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2144-retron-jr/#findComment-40232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,622 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm avoiding it. If the Retron 5 build and performance is an example, unless you're that hard up for save anywhere on a legit game, it's a loser. The only thing I think they've never screwed up was the new refresh of the Supaboy the S and SFC model. You can throw any game at it period that the SD2SNES can handle including their made up MSU-1 stuff, and it works as intended with a SuperNT, accurate(bsnes) emulator, or real hardware and that's a strange accomplishment for those turd farmers. I guess in time, no matter how much you're bad at stuff, eventually you have to get something right given the laws of probability. For me I'll stick with SuperNT+Super GB cart & the GC2HDMI device sticking out of the back of Gamecube with GB Player.
