We were already head over heels for the original Retrode, and we’ve gotta say — version 2.0 looks mighty good in that attire. As the story goes, the product shown above is the result of some three years of toiling, with the second iteration handling cartridges for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. In fact, there’s a pair of ports on here, enabling one cart from each console to be loaded up and carried around. Users need only to find and install an emulator on their machine, plug a cartridge and / or an associated controller into the device and then connect the Retrode 2 to one’s computer via USB. Once you’ve loaded a ROM into your emulator, configured your controller and canceled every appointment on your calendar for the next 48 hours… well, you’re in for quite a weekend of retro gaming nirvana. It’s up for pre-order now in the source link for .99, with shipments expected to begin on January 23rd.

Resembling an old-school mechanical numerical keypad, each button packs an LED — press any number and it’ll blink out the time in single digits, so if it was 9:15am, the zero, nine, one and five buttons would flash in sequence. Push the hash key and the watch will oblige you for today’s date. If you enjoy frustrating colleagues who ask you for the time, then you’ll be delighted to hear that it costs and is shipping now. However, we’re not sure we could pull one off — maybe the hipster down the street will have better success.
