New RetroN HD System Review - HD NES Clone - Gamester81 

;)

99 results on ebay seach "Duck Tales 2". A few of them are famicom, but still, It is not super rare! ;)

How many real ntsc carts have you seen in your life?

Do you mean in person? None.. I'm in Europe ;)

And probably will never see a physical copy even in pal form. Anyway, on eBay the entire world is a potential buyer /seller so 99 isn't really that much at all.

videogameobsession no wonder Amazon hasn't shipped mine.. didn't know that.

was wondering why I hadn't got mine yet

Well, considering they ripped off their entire system from retroarch...

videogameobsession I too am in the same boat . All these reviewers get theirs and now I'll be lucky to get mine. by Wednesday which is ridiculous being that I preordered mine from Amazon on May10. When I review it, I'm definitely going to bring up the stupidity of how long it took me to get mine.

That's why I'm starting to be clear up front that I wasn't paid. I've only been paid for one video way back in the day, and that was a mistake. People can assume all they want, but it doesn't make it true. Thanks for your support man.

No worries at all, thank you for making content for us to enjoy especially these system reviews, I am sure they are a huge help for many.

I've been coming to your channel since your original Retron 5 review, when I was first considering getting into retro game collecting (thanks for the in-depth review on that system by the way), and have been blown away by how articulate and forthright you are for your videos. Never worry about "Internet Warriors". Haters are always going to hate. Keep up the great work, sir and thank you for all the great content you've made over the years.

Stan - "Haters are always going to hate" That logic is mind-boggling. Live in a society where in public any criticisms, different opinion or facts are just dismissed as "hate". *slams head into wall* Facters gonna fact.

Ze Bunker looks like we going have an huge epic retro HD clone console war welcome to the new HD retro clone console war prepare for the next fucking epic Battle.

Mike Vito who cares what super rare means too you. Go cry cause I called duck tales 2 super rare. I really can care less.

What? I never said anything about a game being rare. WTF are you talking about?

It works

Hipster Hoarders As I suspected. Thanks!

I play Ninja Gaiden on mine.

You have low standards if you consider the picture and sound quality fantastic. Get a proper clone like the AVS and you'll see a night and day difference.

That's what I noticed as well.

That would depend on the capture card recording the video and so forth. May look different on your HD TV. Specially if it's calibrated or not, make and model, etc. I wouldn't judge color or sound based on a youtube video.

Thanks Guys.

he said you CAN play Castlevania 3, what you can't play are the flash carts.

flash-carts might damage your console. Google it

It is not software-based, it's a system on a chip.

While it would be handy - personally I don't like having both slots built into the console. It's ugly, makes it look cobbled-together. Even on high-end clones like the Analogue NT I thought it looked awful having both slots there.

No, they gave a bunch away to RU-vidrs and didn't have enough to fill pre-orders for people who pre-ordered months ago though.

videogameobsession Well I guess I can take back there kudos. ☹️

I actually already own an AVS since October 2017, but I was more curious than anything and since it was less than the price of most games I figured why not, but since they put me on backorder status I just canceled it.

Scalpers don't want things that are not limited and Hyperkin isn't known for quality so scalpers just doesn't want to bother with those. When your company's product is so hype that even people are willing to scalp for them then you've found success. Nintendo's problem is that they didn't take advantage of that success, instead they dropped it and no other alternatives would ever going to repeat that.

It's quite possible that Nintendo wasn't making very much profit on the NES Classic console and that it was used as nothing more than a way to make everyone recall how much clout Nintendo can still have. Keep in mind The NES Classic Edition has quite a few 3rd party games. I would imagine they have to pay rights on each and every one of those. It was always planned as a short term offering. They will no doubt make more money on the SNES Classic with less total games, and more being 1st party. Not to mention they are using the same ARM architecture hardware and charging $80 this time.

Blake did you order from Hyperkin or Amazon? The Amazon shipping is delayed. I pre-ordered mine and Amazon had a ship date of 6/2. Got an email from Amazon today estimating the delivery date of 6/21-6/30. Don't know what the extra delay is about.

Hyperkin gave them all away to RU-vidrs and left those of us who paid for it out to dry. I don't expect these to actually be in stock until the Fall. But hey, they are actually doing you a favor. I'd take the money and put it towards a RetroUSB AVS. I have one and they are amazing. The accuracy is perfect and there are a ton of options, including one which can actually remove flicker from a lot of NES/Famicom games. I also don't think I'd want to play a system like this on an HDTV without scanlines, after playing them that way on the AVS. It makes the games pop. You also get 4 controller ports (NES Satellite support), 2 official NES NOS Power/Reset buttons, NES and Famicom cartridge ports, Famicom EXT (FDS support), Built-in Game Genie, online high score support, multiple color palettes, and support for extra Famicom chip audio. Currently $170 and worth every penny IMO.

It's been 10 days it finally says it is in the process of shipping should arrive on Thursday 12 days total not that bad thanks everyone.

would you recommend the 8 bit HD? was leaning towards that one or this

Christopher Castaneda it's hard for me to say honestly. I haven't bought that one in the the review yet. but when I do I'll answer you right away. but for the most part the 8-bit HD by GamerzTek isn't bad at all! it came with 2 controllers and those controllers may look odd BUT they were very responsive!! I was blown away, I thought it would be 3rd party garbage but I was dead wrong. and right now it costs around $30+ on Amazon. I will say it's a little quiet but that doesn't bother me I can always higher the volume. but overall it is something to look into.

John said "flash carts" don't work on the RetroN HD (e.g., Everdrive, PowerPak) :(

AVS ($170) + Everdrive N8 ($83 on sale) + 8Bitdo NES30 Bluetooth controller ($35) Is everything you'll ever need.

pwap - only when connected to a crt tv.

Hmm...sounds like a good question to address to Hyperkin to see what's up. Sorry man.

Hyperkin says amazon oversold their preorders, amazon said Hyperkin hasnt shipped it. so theyre just pointing fingers at each other

Michael Costa yeah, I got an email today from Amazon estimating delivery of 6/21-6/30. Not too happy.

Snickedy Snee thanks man makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that got boned

SLAMMO it's fine

henry ...wtf does that mean ? sounds like sage advise from an old drunk !

what do you mean "scaled properly"? what else would you do other than stretching?

@SLAMMO the console let's you switch between 4:3 or 16:9, the top left is the Retron HD in 16:9 mode, the box on the right shows it in 4:3 mode.

jort93z .. pixel by pixel remapping the entire screen palette!

flash-carts might kill your console slowly. Google it

There is a switch from PAL to NTSC
