I was cautiously optimistic about the original concept, but I avoided the original crowdfunding campaign over my personal reservations. I'm now convinced this will never happen. Too bad.
True story: This console looks very much like one I "designed" on notebook paper when I was in middle school. It had slots for NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Master System, Genesis, and Atari cartridges. I never thought I'd see a real one, and now there are like a dozen such "consoles".
@ikki5 the Retro VGS would have absolutely no internet connectivity, at all. So, no updates, no patches, no DLC. It's physically impossible. If a game ships with a bug, it's broken forever. If you want DLC... well, you need to buy another cartridge.
