1 console - 10 systems - 1000s of classics.
The ultimate HD remake: Hyperkin presents the RetroN 5, a revolutionary new way to experience classic games in high definition; the first of its kind with a fully digital HD output.

The RetroN5 is the retro gaming console that takes you back to a world where recharging your health is a cheat code, you can have as many weapons as you want and achievements aren't just numbers on a screen.
System
The RetroN 5 has 5 cartridge ports that support NES, Famicom, SNES, Super Famicom, Genesis, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges. The RetroN 5 has an HD port with a maximum output resolution of 720p and supports up to 60 frames per second. Digital enhancement features are available for all game formats. PAL and NTSC versions of games are supported for HD upconversion and filters, even on NTSC televisions.
Side-mounted SNES, NES and Genesis controller slots allow you to play with your original controllers. For those who want to go wireless, the included wireless controller has a range of over 7 meters. RetroN 5 offers the versatility to play the way you want.
The SD card slot on the back gives you the ability to expand your storage memory and save screenshots. Screenshots are saved as JPEG images for easy sharing from your computer to popular social media sites. Finally, share that high score, epic platform jump, or secret warp zone.
Software
The RetroN 5 features an on-screen user interface that brings the convenience of modern consoles to retro gaming.
Game Genie is built in to ensure that your nostalgia isn’t killed by games that are harder than you remember. The RetroN 5 cleans up your games and converts them to crisp, clear HD resolution. If you prefer to go old school, you always have that option with the included “scanlines” video filter.
Dynamic controller mapping allows for full customization, even with original controllers. The RetroN 5’s save state feature allows you to save at any point in your game and return exactly where you left off, without the need for a password. Access these features without ever having to end your game session or reset your game with a press of the Home button, bringing the convenience of a modern console to retro gaming.
Controllers
Each RetroN 5 comes with a wireless controller. It features a D-pad, two shoulder triggers, a start and select button, as well as 4 macro and 8 controller buttons.
These are all programmable and can be assigned to any command via the settings menu.
The controller also has four blue LED lights that indicate battery life and is charged via an included Micro USB cable that connects to the RetroN 5. This allows you to control the RetroN 5 and play all supported games.
