This overall irrational reason has actually a very rational aspect.

Why am I then a bit disappointed? For one, it is the overall feeling which didn't give me the authentic experience. Not only for the SNES games but for all games I think the system is best played on a smaller screen, probably on a 32inch TV. But I think this is actually not the fault of the Retron 5 but of my 50inch HDTV. I'm a bit disappointed with the images of the SNES games, they look very pixely (in contrast to the NES games and most Genesis games) and require one of the image filter which I don't like to use. The vivid colors, color saturation, contrast, the sharpness to the last pixel, the images are just great. It is a great supplementary system, but certainly not a replacement of the original consoles. I'd buy one again, but still it didn't fulfill the big expectations I had.

Her is so far my experience with the system. It took me some time to start the reorganization of my gameroom (reason: laziness), but now I have the Retron 5, next buy is a WiiU and then a PS4. It was in July when I asked the Q about the R5, finally last week I bought one.
