Game System Review: Super Retrocade

The folks over at Retro Bit sent over their newest venture in the retro gaming circuit the Super Retrocade. This system has several retro titles from various developers such as Capcom, Irem, G-Mode and more! There are also games that were not originally released in either the US or overseas that are great to see and of course play.

Let’s start with the packaging, it looks great, eye-catching with Mega Man on the cover, lift up the lid and you get a breakdown of the most popular bunch of the titles in the console. Flip it over you get some details and a full list of titles included. The box is made for portability as it has a built in handle. Go here to see complete list. See pics below:

Taking a look inside the box, the unit is packaged nicely. At first look you get a look at one of the controllers and the unit itself. The console is is a bit smaller than my hand, it console has 2 front USB ports where you’d plug in the controllers, in the rear you’llÂ find RCA and HDMI options for video as well as an SD memory card slot and of course the power port. Having the option between RCA and HDMI and realizing the differences between the 2 is astonishing, the HDMI really cleans up the imagery of these classic games. See below:

The addition of the memory card slot is great as you’d be able to save your progression & restart from those points on these classics with no problem. The controllers are light and very reactive, no complaints at all other than maybe give’em a bit more sturdier feeling. One of the features I’m very excited about that most retro systems don’t have is the ability to upgrade firmware! Meaning there will be updates for the unit where you’d have the chance to add more games onto your console. Thanks to the size of the roms and the ability to expand memory via the SD card slot, I see no issue with this and find it very welcoming. For the price of the system, and I’m sure upgrades will be very affordable as most of their products are, this is a HOT DEAL!!!

This system has hours of fun, I highly recommend to retro-fans of gaming, I also believe this is fun to play with the whole family across all ages! This is a bargain and it’s features make this a worth-while addition to ANY gamers collection! It’s aÂ 5/5 for me!
