This Epic Gaming Console Is One For The Retro Freaks!

The NES Classic was a fantastic idea for fans of retro Nintendo gaming, but being in limited supply, you'd be lucky to have been able to get one. How can the retro-inclined get their fix without having to turn to emulators on a computer, or tracking down consoles that still work but don't play nicely with modern TVs?

And more importantly, how can you possibly prove to your sons, daughters, nephews and nieces that gaming was actually harder 'back in your day', that they've got it too easy nowadays, and that they don't have what it takes to get through a game without saving?

The Retro Freak is one for the retro gaming freaks!

Including retro features such as wired controllers, pixellated graphics, and physical cartridge slots for your favourite bargain-bin Famicom/NES, SNES, Game Boy games (and more!), this epic console is just what you need to bring your past geekyness into the future. And unlike it's compatible with HD TVs!

And if you wanted to get portable in that oh-so-modern way, Retro Freak has you covered: you can store copies of your physical games on the internal hard drive, and detatch the cartridge-reading outer shell for easy(ish) transportation of the system.

Would you get a Retro Freak? If so, what would you want to play on it?

I would love to give Battletoads on NES another go... After 25 years, my brother and I might finally be able to finish it!
