Are there any reviews of this? At this price, if it's FPGA, I'm very tempted, but I'm also waiting on the HD version of their Super Retro Trio.

VeridorIt's cheaper than a Retron 1 HD, and probably is the same exact setup (glop-top NES on a chip paired with a cheapo HD upscaler). There's a reason why the AVS costs as much as it does.
For someone who's not super invested into retro gaming and just wants something that works with their old carts on their HD TVs, this will do fine. Main problems will be inaccurate sound and graphics (mainly color). There's a good chance the HD output is upscaled from a composite signal, so don't expect image quality to be very good either (it will look soft).

VeridorIf your only goal is to have a decent experience at a low (and morally ambiguous) cost, RetroPie will be your best bet almost every time.
Some people prefer to use their actual carts. Some people don't like using emulation at all. Some people don't like setting up a RasPi. There are certainly use cases for this device, just not a whole lot. I see it as something for beginning retro collectors/enthusiasts to get their feet wet with at a low cost before moving on to more serious (and expensive) gear.

ZepherinoI actually purchased many of these games on Virtual console, but I'm getting sick of having to re-buy for each system. Also, I wasn't able to get my hands on an NES classic. I'd rather play on real hardware too, so I'm looking forward to the Super Retro Trio HD later this year it'll cover multiple systems. also crossing my fingers to get an SNES classic.
The fact of the matter though is that these cartridges are getting rarer and rarer and more expensive to come by.
