So, they are going to make a retron 4 which plays NES,Genesis, SNES, and GBA games. Has HDMI out! If the price is right, I'll get one so i can use my monitor for retro games.

I saw this but I was wondering that, since it has GBA, if it will also play game boy color and game boy games. Anyone heard anything?

Hmm, I would love to play these through HDMI on my 32 plasma, but I'm afraid it'll look very pixelated because of the kinda large size. I played super mario world on the virtual console on a 50in or so at a friend's house and it looked like ass. Also this seems like it might be a bit expensive, my guess is 80$-100$ which is pretty steep for a clone console like this imo.

I heard about this, but I didn't catch the GBA part. That's pretty cool! If I recall correctly, the GBA clone systems are actually pretty decent for what they are, so hopefully it will be solid in the Retron 4.

If it actually looks good on an HDTV, I might actually have to get one of these.

Even though it will have HDMI, it will look like garbage, just like playing any SNES, Genesis, NES or GBA game on a large HDTV or LCD screens in general.
