Retron 5 & How Social Media Marketing May Come In

By Robert Sutter


As much as gaming grows and develops over the course of time, I find myself longing to play some of the more classic titles. Yes, they are obsolete by today's standards but there are many titles which hold up surprisingly well over the course of time. In order for bring these titles to life through console play, the RetroN 5 seems to be the next kid on the block for people to make use of. How can social media marketing come into play to make it more effective, though?

I believe that the RetroN 5 is going to prove itself as the latest in a number of consoles possessing the same brand name. What this console is able to do is play games from eight different platforms, whether you're talking about NES, Game Boy Advance, or what have you. For those who still have their older cartridges dating back to the mid 80's, this console is ideal. However, there is far more to this game box than simple compatibility, as you will soon learn of.

First of all, the console is able to run while outputting video through HDMI at 720p. In essence, you are able to see your games in much crisper fashion, which can only help the games people have loved a number of years ago. The addition of save states for every game is worth making note of as well. Considering that save batteries within cartridges die out over the course of time, the fact that the system is able to create them is something that is very much worth noting.

These are great features to consider but what are some of the most important ones to illustrate through social media marketing efforts? One of the aspects that I had come across had to do with the controller and its Bluetooth technology. Much like the consoles we see today, gamers do not have to deal with wires that could become tangled. In addition, the console will be able to run games from any region of the world, making it a great investment for collectors. These aspects are important and deserve attention of firms like fishbat.

The RetroN 5 is a console that I can only describe as a dream of sorts. Those who are heavily into retro gaming are most likely going to get a kick out of this console that is going to go for $100. It's a moderately attractive price, especially considering the compatibility it possesses as well as the various features tied into it. It's a console that is more than worth going into detail about but make sure that you have software in order for it to be put to use.
