PS4 or Xbone? How about Retron 5?

Postby Ken1 » November 19th, 2013, 5:36 pm

While my co-workers talk about getting a PS4 or Xbone, asking me what I will be getting I tell them the Retron 5. Some have an idea what I am talking about others do not. The ones that do have some fun at my expense, even after I explain to them what the Retron 5 is all about. I care not for the next gen systems give me Retron 5! Are you with me?!? Retron 5!!!

I'm getting these three systems:
PS4, by the end of next week, along with Assassin's Creed 4, and maybe other games as well.
RetroN5, around December 10th... here's hoping the system will not get delayed.. I'm actually being optimistic.
Just ordered a Sega New Astro City candy cab, I should receive it before Xmas.

I wasn't really considering getting a Retron 5 but now that I think about it, it might be a pretty good idea to get one to play Famicom and Super Famicom games. At least it would be a good "placeholder console" until I can find a Super Famicom and Famicom at reasonable prices. Though the first new console I want is a Wii U. Then I'll get a PS4 in a year or two.

I see a PS4 in my immediate future. I'd say in the next 6 months or so.  
 
Maybe an Xbox One if they lose the Kinect camera and sell the console separetly.
 
I'll buy a Retron 5 if all the reviews are good, and the system proves itself to have quality emulation

I'm a picky gamer so its going to come down to one thing on each console for me.

PS4 = I think its going to take Fallout 4 before I get one.

Retron 5 = If the Retron 5 can save games like I think it can then I'll get one. It also has to run the games extremely close to what the original consoles were capable of.

I'll probably wait to see how things shake out between the XB1 and PS4. Probably in a few years.

Retron 5? I was really excited about it a few months ago, but kind of forgot about it.
