Console and controllers are not purple!
I was pretty disappointed to find out the console and controller's I was sent were not the advertised colour. I was really looking forward to having the SNES colour scheme. The SNES controller in the advertisement had two shades of purple like the OEM controller. Mine came as four of the same shade of navy blue. If colour is important to you like it is to me, hopefully this helps you make your decision on getting this product. I have no issues with the hardware itself. Does everything you would want a modern classic console to do. Happy to have in my collection, sad it’s not what was advertised.

Still works great. Controllers still work and feel great. Still love this system, I haven't found a game that doesn't work. But I found some issues, mostly with the NES color pallette and I won't lie some games just look ugly (but not all them?) Not so much the case with SNES games.
I still stand by my 5 star review though, I've invested over 200 hours on this playing games like Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana. Also it's super easy to take with you to a friend's house, which I've done a few times now. But I'll admit I'm starting to want a analogue system since I am investing so much time into these old games. I do not regret this purchase in the least it was a great starting system to get back into these old games and in don't feel rushed to invest the $200 for the analogue since this works so well.
Original Review:
So I like to consider myself a "casual hardcore" retro gamer. I like to enjoy the games I actually collect.
I really wanted to get back into NES and SNES games, but I havent owned a Nintendo or Super Nintendo since 1997. When I saw this system there was no reviews or even YouTube videos, I knew nothing about it. But I do own the Hyperkin MegaRetroN and so I took a leap of faith, which I don't normally do.
I purchased the Retron 2 owning zero games for either system and after ordering the hyperkin, I ran to my local retro store and picked up 15 total games and also a SNES multicart and a some reproductions games on ebay.
I've had these games about a week with these games now.
So how is it?
This system is almost perfect. The game cartidges pull out easily in both slots, so no death grip like the MegaretroN, which is good since SNES games usually need a eject button.
Both the controllers are excellent with long cords, I personally forget that they aren't orginial controllers. Though I would recommend a 8bitdo and a Bluetooth receiver eventually, but these controllers are excellent until then and they won't piss off Player 2 when you do get a 8bitdo.
As for input lag? I have played Street fighter 2, Mortal Kombat and Mike Tyson Punch out and I never felt I lost due to delay button presses (but you can blame lag if you want :P) If your TV has a "game mode" like mine does i recommend turning it on
Sound and video is where the critics knock this system around. Hyperkin systems has a little extra color saturation that may turn off people, but I enjoy the richer color myself. The 4:3/16:9 switch is a good option and the game looks amazing on a HDTV at 720p.
Other than what the coins sound like in Super Mario Brothers on the NES (which sound... interesting on the hyperkin), I couldn't tell you which sounds or music sound different or sounds the same, sorry but it's been too long since I played these games. They sound good over all thoughand after playing Super Mario All Star for the Super Nintendo I can safely say the SNES sound and music is spot on.
I would recommend Madlittlepixel YouTube review to hear the sound difference and see the difference in color saturation.
But something to keep in mind with these "small issues" the retron 2 has and that the hyperkin 2 is two systems for $70. That's $35 for each system, compared to $200 for one system for the analogue FPGA system.. But for $70 you are getting alot! If you are a die hard purist, well I'm sure you already have a RGB mod or Analogue.
But if you're like me and you found your old box of games in the attic or just want to casually collect games and don't want to break the bank for a system that is easy to install, sounds and looks good on a HDTV and will bring you back to 1994? Then you cannot lose with this system.
Highly recommended.
