Just an FYI
I'm sure you have seen reports that the Retron5 units will be available in the next 30 days.
Here is my report from MGC. I was one of the first people in the Hyperkin room when they opened their door on Saturday around noonish. They were asked point blank about price and when they would be available. Just north of $100 (so no, they are NOT going to be $99 unless something changes) and they are already built and shipped out. They are on the boat (I presume from China) and will be available in 30 to 45 days.
I also watched them test something they had never tried. They added on the Power Base converter from the Genesis and used a Master System card game. Not a cartridge, but one of the card games. Powered up and played fine. I didn't have a chance for a close observation as the room was getting busy, but it seemed pretty neat. People were bringing them random games to try on it and it seemed to be running them all.
