I imported a Japanese unit which is still on its way over. The pads were all sold out sadly so I’m glad the stick is somewhat playble still. Lack of a mini HDMI is sorely disappointing and no internal battery is a massive shame.

Im sure that could be remedied with a mod.

Thanks for taking the time to review.

@gurtifus Bloodsport always felt more Mortal Kombat than Streetfighter to me what what with people getting finished off and MK being ‘inspired’ by Frank Dux’ costume for Johnny Cage.

@Dm9982 it does. There's no native setting to have the bluetooth pair with the console so you'll need to splash out on a wireless adaptor. Well worth it though. Otherwise, it has NES, Genesis and SNES controller ports if you want to use your original controllers.

@Dm9982 yes on all counts. You can even use SD cards to add fan translations / patches to games.

@Dm9982 I was debating between a modded Sega Nomad and a Retron 5. Went with the latter and have no regrets. Got an 8bitdo wireless receiver and their wireless SNES controller and its nostalgia heaven.

@Dm9982 its a shame the 2013 Kickstarter by one of the devs fell short of its goal..

@Dm9982 yep! General Chaos was fantastic!
