RetroN 4 plays NES, SNES, Genesis and GBA carts, hides its looks (for now)

Hyperkin’s fourth RetroN console wants to be the perfect way to enjoy gaming’s past glories. Alongside the ability to play NES, SNES, Gameboy and Sega Genesis titles, it’s compatible with PAL and NTSC formats, with ports for your NES, SNES and Genesis controllers — you still have those, right? If not, Hyperkin’s own Bluetooth-connected controllers can fill in, while the console’s UI will allow you to reassign buttons as needed. There’s also HDMI output, so those 16-bit graphics will get the full glory of your HD plasma screen. Alas, following another notable games console, the company isn’t showing off the device just yet. You’re looking at its predecessor above, which should at least give your mind’s eye something to work with until it’s finally unfurled at Wisconsin’s Midwest Gaming Classic on March 23rd.
