I'm not going to speculate on what is under the hood at the moment, but I'm sure it is a work in progress so I never expected them to show a finished product so soon. And in the end, it will be the final product that matters and I highly doubt it will turn out to be a re-purposed SNES in a Jaguar shell.
 
I will say this: I think the new price points they are mentioning are great!  This is a big improvement over the previous campaign. I would be very tempted to go for the kickstarter if my finances allowed me.

well perhaps they will work on a usb colecovision and intellivision controller that plugs into the console?  if that is the case, then you could possibly use them on your computer for emulators as well   hmmmmm.... makes sense to me.   Lets see what info there is when the kickstarter launches, there are many rumors flying around out there.

I agree with you but what do we know for sure about this? Reading a post suggesting something on Facebook doesn't really mean it's true. This still seems like merky waters to me.
 
Kudos go to the Retro VGS team for the $135 price, for the games, for demoing at the NY Toy Show, and for doing what they said they'd do to turn it all around. I'd like to see more though. I'd like to see them outline everything really easy peasy on their website so we know what's what.
 
Seems like what they're really missing are the dies to the Jaguar controllers which would have the numbers on it but they'd probably get ripped for that too.

Good stuff as always Willie!
The game controls remind me of the Tiger handheld game Skeet Shoot.

To me the Sega Master System Power Base Converter was one of the most cool things about the Genesis. Partially because I always loved the Master System and it's bright powerful graphics. But can you imagine if Nintendo had made a NES converter for Super Nintendo? Love the idea
