Outstanding customer service, helpful and go above and beyond. The delivery took 72 hrs from the time of the order. 1st rate all round.

Absolutely love this gaming machine brings back loads of memories and is easy to use. Had the previous one and this one is so much better and great value product looks great quality is great and the company is really easy to deal with communication good postage good as well.

I already had a raspberry pi but wanted the dreamcast emu. What can I say well worth the upgrade. All games run as they should. Really good design and high quality controllers. I would highly recommend spending a bit more for a high quality console. Delivered very quickly as well.

Thanks👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very helpful customer service managed to sort out the problem with my handheld console I purchased a couple of years ago so that I could play again! Now contemplating getting the Retroboss.

If you’re looking for retro gaming then I sincerely recommend Retropia.

Had a slight issue with my Retroboss and their customer service was second to none. Sent it back on Tuesday and have just received it back today ( Friday ). Brilliant service and a highly recommended company.

The system is very good can be a bit buggy with some games now and then but it’s not a deal breaker the supplied controller is a bit of a let down as it isn’t very precise with the analog sticks and takes two aa batteries so recommend buying a better quality controller that is usb chargeable. If you want a gun shaped holder for the Wii remote for the light gun games I advise getting an official Nintendo one as the cheap ones aren’t very good but that is nothing to do with retropie and is just a personal choice. The system runs very quite and is good quality but I would also advise printing out the instruction/ information pages that gets sent as an email as a hardcopy easy to hand is helpful

The console has everything and is very user friendly ,there is no downside to buying this machine apart from spending more hours than I imagined doing playing old arcade classics. I highly recommend this system if you want 1000s of games to play at home

Absolutely love this, so many different games to play, some for the first time and some since forever. Great service all round and I would definitely recommend this to any gamers

This is my 3rd Retroboss. (This one was a Christmas present from my wife)
We are both big gamers and wanted to have one in every spare room.
I've reviewed this product and company before and my opinion is still the same.
Absolutely flawless in every way! So much attention to detail has gone into this system. To my pleasant surprise, they have added some additional systems and games which is just awesome. I can't fault this company at all. The products and customer service are the very best. Over the last 2 years, ever since I got my first Retroboss, I have always recommended Retropia and I will continue to do so.
I have always been so surprised that nobody has done a review on YouTube, its well worthy of one.

Thanks again Retropia.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅

The retro console is so much fun. The quality of the base build is better than any that I have bought previously. All the peripherals, although on the cheap side, work perfectly with the console.

For me, what makes this really great is the time and effort that has gone into making sure the games all work perfectly and the attention paid to compiling the instructions, as newbies should be able to get the most out of it.

Having used quality emulators before, I can honestly say this is the best one I’ve had by a mile.

The build quality is great and the user experience is the best. From simple menus to live screen in screen views of each game playing as you scroll through the endless list of titles.

There are more than enough games to keep anyone well occupied for a long time and they play without issue.

The initial set-up is easy and the wireless controllers are great quality.

The customer service and speedy delivery were greatly appreciated and I’ve already went and purchased some extra controllers from Retropia as friends and family all want a turn.

This is one of the more pricey machines you’ll see, but when you consider the build quality and hours of entertainment you’ll enjoy it is actually good value in the long run.

Would definitely recommend this machine to anyone who loves the old school classics.

Arrived promptly with Royal Mail. Nicely packaged, everything in it’s own bag/box, foam supports for the controller sticks. I ordered all of it, all present and correct, including HDMI cable and batteries AA and AAA. You just need to plug it all together and enjoy. Scrolling through the consoles and hearing the different games is like walking into and 80s arcade when credits were just 10p. So many games and consoles that I used to have and loved playing, even the Intellivision and Vectrex. Happy days. Totally recommend it, if not for just the convenience of not having to source it all yourself. Simply brilliant.

Arrived quickly, easy plug-and-play, with generously supplied batteries! It's been amazing to choose from such a massive range of games...! Outstanding.

Fantastic product, great customer service, exactly as advertised. Great follow up when you have questions.

Having had a couple of retro gaming consoles in the past from full size arcade machine from arcade mania to a cheap £20 stick of Amazon this is a step above the rest . After finding the retro boss on google I tried finding any videos/ reviews on YouTube but there doesn’t seem to be any . So finally biting the bullet I ordered the full package ( 2 controllers, Wii mote, sensor bar, keyboard, mouse , vinyl wrap ) total £349. 3 days later my new retro console is delivered so wasted no time trying to set it up. I was surprised to see that the 2tb hard drive was an external plug in usb ( probably my own fault for not knowing what one was and not seeing it in any pictures ) but didn’t affect me in anyway , only one little gripe is that the instructions say it must be plugged into front left usb where I think it would look better if plugged into the back to hide the wire. The pc itself is very strong and sturdy and the vinyl wrap looks amazing ( would definitely recommend a vinyl wrap ) the controllers , mouse , keyboard etc are also very good quality and is all easy to set up even by someone like me. So onto the games. The amount of different entertainment consoles this has is quite unbelievable, I am able to play games from my youth like Chucky egg on amstrad upto games on ps2/3 and Wii u. Although I have noticed some imperfections while playing Zelda twilight princess Wii u , not game play but graphics around water this isn’t enough to ruin your gaming experience. And although I haven’t played all the games on here I can say that the ones I have played 99.9 have run perfectly . I have even got the kids playing some of the gun games like duck hunt and point blank which is a great fun and enjoyable to see kids competing for the highest score. I have contacted retropia a few times regarding settings on games but most of these has been my fault for not reading the instructions properly but every query I have made was always replied with instructions so please retropia keep this up as there are a lot of games on here to get through .So in summary, £350 for the whole package is a lot of money to spend but I do think this is totally worth it considering what you are getting . If you are unsure on buying this than all I can say is , I was unsure about buying this as well but I am so glad I did , I have even replaced my ps4 with this in the front room.

In mid December 2024 I bought one of the Retroboss setups with controllers, keyboard, mouse and setup for Nintendo Wii, and bought a Sinden light gun separately. It didn't get as much use as I would have liked for the first few months. But this is an awesome piece of kit! The instructions that come with it are superb, it looks and feels well made and the front end menu system works really well allowing you to save a "Favourites" list of games. There is a little configuaration at times to change screen settings and remove overlays (imagine a console or TV type border) for each game, and the Sinden light gun requires calibration and some playing with the light settings to see what works best...which is to be expected. I think its unrealistic to expect something like this to be totally plug and play but this is superb! The catalogue of PS1, PS2, Megadrive, NES, N64, Amiga and Arcade games to name a few is immense. Finally the support offered by the company in terms of forums to pose questions or being able to contact them to ask for help has been excellent, I only needed this once to ask for help with the Nintendo Wii side of the system. Give this system a go, it is awesome!
