The ''Retro VGS'' (Retro Video Game System) is a planned video game console. Its creators have stated that it was inspired by the Second to Fifth Generations (1976-1999) of home video game consoles, and like most consoles of those Generations, the Retro VGS was planned to run all of its games on individual cartridges, as opposed to optical discs and digital download. The Retro VGS was not expected to support any manner of online connectivity whatsoever, meaning all hardware and software released would have been the final product, and would not have been updated after release.〔(The Retro VGS console isn't bringing back a golden age. It's stunting the future ) at GamesRadar〕 A Kickstarter campaign was initially planned to raise funds for the project, but this was later moved to Indiegogo one week before the start of the campaign when a physical prototype was not produced.〔(The RETRO VGS: A New Cartridge Based Videogame Console Aims to Kickstart Videogaming Culture ) at Gamasutra〕〔(Retro VGS FAQ )〕〔(Retro VGS Indiegogo Campaign Begins ) at HardcoreGamer〕 The console's developers have planned to use the main console and cartridge shells of the 1993 Atari Jaguar to house completely new hardware to play brand new games. The use of the Jaguar's molds for the Retro VGS was a cost saving measure. The console was planned to support both USB and 9-pin controllers and would have included one wired USB controller shipped with the console - a modified version of the Controller Pro U third party Wii U pro controller manufactured by InterWorks Unlimited. Depending upon the level of funding achieved, the developers of the system stated they would have offered an FPGA with ARM architecture.〔http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/05/retro-vgs-console-aims-to-revive-the-humble-video-game-cartridge/〕 According to the crowdfunding page, the console would have output high-quality audio and video simultaneously in digital and analog formats, and would be able to connect to many types of televisions and other devices via HDMI 1.3, composite video/stereo audio RCA, 9-pin Mini-DIN, USB Type-A, and USB Type B. The Indiegogo campaign raised $63,546 out of a $1.95 million goal 〔https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/retro-vgs#/story〕 and was discontinued on September 29, 2015.〔https://www.facebook.com/RETROVGS/posts/886061388129799〕 CrowdCharts predicted that the campaign would fail to reach its funding goal at its current rate of return, which included several days of negative pledges as backers retracted their support.〔http://crowdcharts.com/campaign/retro-vgs/daily〕 ==Games== Titles that had been expected at launch included ''The Adventures of the Tiny Knight'' and ''Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death'' by CollectorVision Games, ''Read Only Memories'' by MidBoss, ''Songbringer'' by Wizard Fu, ''Adventure in the Tower of Flight'' by Pixel Barrage Entertainment, ''Gunlord'' by NG:DEV.TEAM, and ''Knights Chance'' by Neobitz. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Retro VGS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
