A Japanese company called Tron has collaborated with Capcom for a miniature desktop console called the Retro Station, which comes pre-installed with various classic Street Fighter and Mega Man games. The system comprises an 8-inch 4:3 LCD display capable of 1024 x 768 resolution and an arcade joystick layout painted in Capcom’s yellow and blue branding scheme.
“RETRO STATION’s design was inspired by the MEGA MAN and CRT displays, incorporating CAPCOM classic colors and LOGO,” Tron wrote. “It has 8-inch 4:3 LCD display, well customized joystick and buttons, and two sound system level super bass speakers. You can play the classic games OST while playing games.”
Retro Station owners who want to let a friend join in on the fun can do so by purchasing a separate fight stick accessory, which supports USB Type-C. Otherwise, Tron is also selling a PVP dongle that allows two Retro Station units to be paired together wirelessly.
