Gaming accessories maker, Hyperkin is jumping back into the unique console market with their Retron 5, which will support even more systems than their Retron 3 did.
Portable nostalgia.
Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't
I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.
Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.
Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.

Looks pretty cool. When is it being released?
HDMI out with upscaling properties? It might finally be worth pulling out my old collection of games. I emulate everything since I don't want a half dozen systems littering my entertainment center, but this would do the trick nicely.
I'll wait to see how well it works, of course.
I AM SOLD!
Man, that looks nice. I'm not even gonna lie. I play all my old games through emulation and the hyperspin frontend, but that device given the right price I could see myself owning.
No neo geo and no jaguar :(
