## Description

Flip that hat backwards and pull up those baggy pants dude. The 90s are back with the Hyperkin MegaRetroN HD a premium retro console that plays Genesis (US) Mega Drive (outside US) cartridges in brilliant 720p HD. It includes one (1) premium classic-style Squire controller a 3 ft. HD cable (supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio) and a 6 ft. Micro cable. You can even play via AV with the provided AV cable. Relive your childhood the right way with the only powerhouse that can handle these 16-bit masterpieces in the modern age.

Review: I have the first model of Genesis, so comparing this HD version to the original Sega. HD output is fantastic, very crisp and good looking in general. Composite output is somewhat worse than from original Sega, but it might be a matter of personal preference. I have one game that at some point (high score screen) couldn't show synchronized image in HD, but all other games worked without issues, and this (some pinball) game was playable as well (other than the high score screen). It comes with a decent wired controller with a very long cord, and works fine with 8bitdo wireless controller. It's a good looking console too, with small footprint, and well made in general.
