The Retroblox modular retro game console is an excellent idea, even if their slogan “Unleash Your Nostalgia” comes off a little pandering. First is their on board optical disc drive that can directly play your PS1 and Sega CD games, among others. Its modular support comes in for older cartridge games. Players can insert their cartridge and copy their game to a digital format, giving you the choice to play either directly from the cartridge or from your digital game files. The modules also allow for controllers from old consoles to be used with Retroblox, so if that Genesis controller felt great in your hands, pull it out of storage and plug it in. Finally, the console features full 1080p resolution, so there won’t be any of the blur or fuzz you may have found with earlier attempts to hook old consoles up to modern TVs. More features are going to be announced in the coming months, leading up to the launch of it April 2017 crowdfunding campaign. We’ll make sure you’re in the loop.
