Classic Game Room - RETRON 3: SNES, NES and GENESIS Game Console Review Pt1

[kingbooforums]

someone answer me. Have they made a portable N64 player? I think these types of consoles not made from there companies are great.

[WinCamXP]

@kingbooforums Not a mass-produced portable, only one-person mod projects. Check out the ModRetro forums, there's plenty of awesome hacks/mods there.

[labrynianrebel]

I have something similar to this called a FC3+

[Erik64Hacker]

Look everybody with famicom or super famicom you can play it on the retron 3 its so awesome try it:)

[animationdude56]

Why isn't this out in the UK? I WANT ONE BADLY.

[amazinggamereviewerm]

@animationdude56 yeah I know, but you can buy them on ebay.

[thevideotutorialman]

I have a nerdy boner right now

[wizeguy26]

hmm amazon?

[Netaro1000]

MEH WANT NAOW!!!!!!!!!!!!11!#€%€/%€%&

[annoyingsteve]

i have a retron 3 no joke

[williamnakama]

I bought a Retron 1 for my parents. They love NES games and I wanted to bring back memories. :)

[NextGenGameSystem]

AVGN should get this.

[crowsith]

just had an idea, has anyone tried plugging a SUPER GAMEBOY cartridge in?? if so does it work??

[ABSabio]

Virtual Console on the Wii got nothing on the Retron 3.

(it rhymes) :P

[jimmimak]

What about Master System? I'd much prefer that over Atari

[Serkant75]

random "japanese" anime translation was soo right XD

you are funny as heaven ^^

[Alaska1925]

HI THERE ^_^

[corczz]

MOTHER FUCKING ULTRAMAN

[starkness65]

It become an Octopus!

[lonesoldier33]

Nah, it's an 8 track player

[ichelles1]

your so funny <3

[mediummastagh3]

if it had n64, oh my god,

[MrJoeRen0]

What is the website called?

[kize127]

they could not do this with the PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast and Gamecube because the Xbox was the size of a submarine.

[BlackmarketFTW]

well did you know the genesis model 1 has better sound than the 2nd. thats why it doesnt quite match

[MegaMyrow]

where tha hell do you get that man i need one so bad

[DirectorInLabor]

... People actually play Ultraman for the SNES?! I hated that game as a kid... maybe I'll dig it out of my box and plug it back in for a second try.

[MustNotRead]

"it plays all three games systems". I thought there were 4...what happened to the Master System?

[Lacktardo]

Crap comes from China.

[mariodude73]

lol even the nes is suprised!!!

[NintendoMan365]

heres an idea portable retron DS, PSP, Gameboy, PS Vita

[MajorLeaguerAnubius]

@NintendoMan365 PSV is TOO new...

[katakisLives]

I'd be most interested in the Nes part of this console! finding a Nes that works all the time these days is virtually impossible! even back in the 90s most of the Nes models I found suffered the flashing screen of death and the top loading version of the Nes that addressed this problem was never made available in the UK

[TheUnbiasedGamer]

Avoid this piece of shit!!! I had one show up doa and the next one died in a week! If you have to have a clone console get an FC twin! It doesn't do genesis or have a lot of what this console has but it will work! I have had one working perfectly for over 4 years!

[styxinyourneck09]

i have the portable one it is bad ass

[UnivingIshiro]

Next one is PS1,N64 and Sega Saturn mix!

[fraki7456]

Shut up and take my money!

[dmcadik]

Honestly, WHY NOT DO THIS FOR TODAYS SYSTEMS?

[katakisLives]

@dmcadik The only reason this console exists is because the patents on these old consoles have been allowed to lapse theres no way they'd allow you to do this with current gen consoles for years to come!

[StoneMonkWisdom]

In the 3 ports, I would have Crystalis, in the NES part, Road Rash II in the Sega Genesis part (or Granada), and The 7th Saga in the Super Nintendo part.

[maxlopez12123]

o have one like that, but only plays nes and snes games

[spiderjerusalem100]

Wow, where can i get one of these things?

[kawaiisaki]

@spiderjerusalem100 im seeing a bunch of them up on ebay for around 70 dollars usd, thats including shipping cost.

[spiderjerusalem100]

@kawaiisaki That's pretty good value for money, i've seen SNES games that cost more than $70 on their own.

[RedWolf3487]

I'd rather have a portable 8-track player and the original consoles.

[OmenX13]

Awesome looking machine.....Sadly they don't have these outside the U.S.

[TheGta473]

@InecoCompany can you put a sega 32x onto the genesis/megadrive port

[TheMrminimario]

Cool, in 20 years we have another Retron 3! Wii, XBox and PS3! :D

[ProManUnitedFan]

@TheMrminimario That would be pretty awesome but what about managing online accounts? It would cost a lot to make

[Thorsenz]

Does it only play NTSC games or PAL also ?

[TheEschwank02]

why do you disregard the turbografx 16?

[TheKingofThessaly]

-What sold me on the RetroN3, over other similar systems, is that I can use the REAL controllers for each system! Super Mario Bros. does not feel the same with a different controller. -No classic game does. Your brain remembers what you SHOULD be holding. Also; those wireless controllers are DICK! -Throw them away immediately, their wireless range is terrible and they feel just awful!

The system is perfect though! -I highly recommend it.

[TheKingofThessaly]

I have a RetroN3 and I LOVE it. I grew up with all the original systems- like you said- all hooked up with various power-strips for the ac-adapters in my room. When you add even MORE systems to that, well- it can get pretty annoying...

Instead of re-buying all the individual systems now, as an adult, and taking the chance on if they'll work properly (or at all), let alone finding them for reasonable prices to begin with; I picked this system up. Mine is red- but it's the same thing...

[azb0111]

i wonder if a Master System converter would work on this?

[MrSuperbigman06]

i have a problem i just bought a super nintendo eailer this week and the games started keeping pauseing on me the system its fine but the games keeps doing that by themselves

[FuIIOfFaiI]

@MrSuperbigman06 Do you have any type of turbo controller? Some have a 'slow-down' feature, which really just makes it constantly pause and unpause.

[MrSuperbigman06]

@FuIIOfFaiI well i have one of those shock ones its ok now tho but thanks

[redoutlander]

what was the game with the blue hair? Phantasy Star?

[TortureAXE]

Toaster is the best

[saafinkhan]

@rourin good point thats interesting but i hate that games

[saafinkhan]

why people play this shit games in todays, graphics sucks in this type of games people will buy ps3 or xbox 360 or a high rig pc game system

[MrFixer1983]

@saafinkhan

Old games/console = History

[BanzaiM50]

@saafinkhan Because graphics don't account for the best games.

[rourin]

@saafinkhan A true gamer can appreciate games from any era and see them for what they are and enjoy their respective qualities. 12 year old COD players such as yourself, well, they aren't true gamers.

[katakisLives]

@rourin I love the games and systems of yesteryear but I guess if you didn't grow up with them they can sometimes be hard to relate to! for a younger gamer used to regular save points and regenerative health classic games can often be frustrating and hard! they rarely told you if you were doing something wrong and that would no doubt put off lots of younger gamers! these days games tell you everything! classic games often dropped you into the game world and left you to get on with it

[mandy26lez]

you know what would be badass if they made a console that combined 3 new games to make a whole new game.

[knopf152]

it's like he has a comma every 2 words

[ZeroCrystal]

Saw this video. Bought one. $50 very well spent. Just need better wireless controllers.

[retardedfishfrogs1]

will my game genies work (especiallly the NES one) please respond

[NintendoFanboy1235]

"GASP." I have seriously never laughed so hard at a youtube video before

[IsaacsLiam]

Does anybody know if this will work on a UK PAL tv. I have S-Video and composite sockets available but will going from 60 to 50 mhz be a problem.

[SeanSolomon11287]

Demand more retro games on wii from nintendo there is always room for more retro goodness

[NotGood1024]

>doesn't have Sega Master System

what a useless piece of shit

[liberatedanimal]

@NotGood1024 Agreed, Plus where's the TG-16 card slot? Posers.

[warriorsrock123]

that is what i need. i hate having to take them out every single time

[supertrogdorman5252]

This would be cool to have.

[unanomous67]

i love your commentary. just saying

[mafiagman]

just get a rom and emulator. No cost yes.

[Sakke1245]

@mafiagman one word: SOPA

[jbetenbender]

Does the super gameboy work with that?



[nairblizard]

does the controller that comes with the system play all systems?

[owenmcfurry0205]

@nairblizard yes

[thehigherdrake]

1:21 that nes was just as surprised as me! :O

[8wealthyone8]

Super Genintari (AKA "Leviticus")

[AlbinoWatermelon]

The way he said that Sega Genesis game, it took me forever to figure what he said. It sounded like he said "Gary's", lol.

For anyone wondering, it's called Gaiares, pronounced "Guy-uh-res".

[jerryboo1995]

WTF happened to the supergenetari???

[greytale]

@jerryboo1995 Same guy who made the NinToaster, right?

[MrHossCartwright]

Cool, but until they make one of these that plays all games with original sound and clarity, I'm not wasting my money.

[DGMRuadeil]

Nothing beats the original systems

[styxinyourneck09]

@DGMRuadeil while i agree this is a great way for the younger people to get a chance to play these man

[DGMRuadeil]

@styxinyourneck09 perhaps, even though you can get the originals for like 10$

[styxinyourneck09]

@DGMRuadeil yeah but the old ones really glicth alot

[DGMRuadeil]

@styxinyourneck09 so would this one if the cardridge is bad, unless you only plan on playing repro cardridges

[styxinyourneck09]

@DGMRuadeil yeah but its useally the system

[midgetnympho]

@styxinyourneck09 Not that my 360 would ever do that...

[falconpunch94]

I so want to import one of these, NTSC SNES, SFC, NTSC NES (at the proper speed...) and Genesis, seems perfect for PAL collectors!

[DocKing236]

anyone else think his dubbing skills are hilarious!!

[midsnacker]

You start shoving 3 consoles into one... you might as well just start emulating.

[irokatcod4]

like if you have an xbox 360 or ps3, but have the old game systems and wish you could play them right now

[daftpunkglitchmob]

that deserves a two syllable dame, me amigos

[Lijrobert]

watching this makes me want a N64, Snes, nes, Sega Genesis, and all other retro game consoles with there respective awesome games

[thelegomasteDevon]

personally i would need, the retron 8! the first three with atari 2600 7800 and lynx, n64 and sega dreamcast

[slavezero1117]

super genesis entertainment system

[THEDONUTSLAYA]

"Gasp"

[MegaMonsterZilla]

if only they make the same thing for PS3,XBOX 360 and NINTENDO WII

[000fabien]

just bought it

[Vonboon11dy]

i want one

[Hipstoprockathon]

GASP

[simpsonNirvana94]

where can i find one?

[xcom2009]

do they have one that have nes,SNES and 64 ?

[torythefanman]

Retron 10 N64 SNES NES Sega Genesis Gamecube ps2 ETC...

[GTA4Forever]

That console is a whore

[MrDynamoJoe]

@GTA4Forever Takes it in all three holes!

[flyingcumshot]

@MrDynamoJoe every holes a goal

[tuberofyou1]

@GTA4Forever what do you mean by that, are you saying it isnt good?

[iamjusttyler]

@He101A sorry dude its just not the same...

[cryax2138]

dude, how did u get that?

[iamjusttyler]

@cryax2138 you rarely find them outside of the internet.... but some small family run game stores might have one or two for about $50, or atleast thats what the price was for the one a local realtailer was selling it for....

[skore01]

@cryax2138 order online or local retro game store if you have a console game exchange where you live (CGX)

[Punkyemoking]

Answer to console wars: fuse all generation consoles into 1 and no more fighting :3

[BombBakers]

@Punkyemoking imagin the money they could make out of it too!

[theknightswhosayfrak]

The Retron 6 isn't impossible. 32x is backwards combatable with Genesis and 7800 games are backwards compatable with 2600 games. We also need to get an emulator for 5200 games.

[TVisawesome432]

NES: Hi there

[ZyphsMw2]

@He101A but its not the same thing as playing on a old school console

[classpc]

What was the Japanese game you were playing?

[classpc]

The NES ac power adaptor will also power a SNES.

[Velheim1334]

All 3 of those games suck ass.

[MultiPaulo1995]

We Want Sega Master System Now! Retron 4, Atari is my balls!

[SwankeyMonkey]

I just see my little-white-box-of-awesomenes­s that is the Dreamcast, which is able to play ALL Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, SNES, NES, Gameboy, NEO-GEO, MAME, as well as many PS1 games, and many other emulated systems, and homebrew... as the only console I really need.

Need I mention that it also plays the BEST games... which are the DC titles?

[DetectiveTank]

GASP

[MrStrangello]

consoles of my childhood...

[thunderstudent]

Just put an Atari 5200, 7800, 32X and an N64 slot along with a disk drive that dose Sega cd, dc32x, Saturn and PS1 games and I'll be happy

[Snoutmasta]

NES: ":0"

Retron 3: "-_-"

Mark: ";)"

[necronomicon009]

That's a retro gangbang right there!

Ohhhhhh Yeaaaaa!

[appletechsmart2]

0:49 epic

[RetroManCave]

A Neo-Geo cart would intimidate all 3

[tcmar]

q ponchera jugar a viejos cartuchos con este aparato.

[Walden1982]

Am I the only one who is reminded of a commercial for Country Crock spread?

[37712]

"MOTHER FUCKING ULTRA-MAN!"

fuck yeah!

[PataponFeverGuy]

lol @ 1:20. very good video though. I am thinking of getting one of these!

[ootwii]

Great video..

[parmopete66]

@0:50 hello

[gameretrohard]

genesis sera compatible con 32x???

[TheChainsOFMisery]

correct me if im wrong but...couldnt somebody get sued real bad over this?

[evildead818]

@TheChainsOFMisery nope, the licencing from sega and nintendo expired

[Sirkamilo]

What about region limitations (pal, ntsc...)?

[sixflags2008]

"Mother F**KING ULTRA MAN!!!"

[ImpressiveParisian]

It looks cheap! 

[TheDeadcooks]

i want the ps3/wii/xbox360 version of this!

[mattehFLCL]

MOTHERFUCKING ULTRAMAN!!!

[whammy850]

AIRWOLF?!! why?

[morebrainsmedia]

The Retron is a total piece of crap. It rarely plays any of my NES games, and when it feels like working, I have to muscle them out to switch cartridges. Shoddily put together, awful controllers, and overall a waste of money. I wish I hadn't traded my original consoles for this garbage plastic.

[pariastabendesa]

FUCK YEAH!!! ULTRAMAN!!!

[KaeruthePaladin]

Put an N64 in there and I'll never need another console again

[theknightswhosayfrak]

@KaeruthePaladin I have both.

[Dragongod223]

@KaeruthePaladin there is an adapter you can search for on Google, i forgot the name of it (sorry) but it fits in the n64 cartridge slot and it plays N64, NES, SNES, Sega genesis, and master system games.

[stevespielberg]

@KaeruthePaladin They can't right now, because the patents for N64 have not expired. Patents generally expire after 20 years. So this will happen in the year 2016.

[MsMastermas]

I recently launched a site where you can play flash/modded of classic games, chat etc. New games will be added I encourage everyone to check it out and tell their friends about it. The site will be updated daily by changing a few features etc. Here is the link: retroarcadegame(dot)weebly(dot­)com

[MrElliottDavies]

@MsMastermas Not gonna lie I don't really like it.

[Draeconix]

Just got one of these for myself. I still have all three of the old systems and they are all in working condition, including my original NES. Just have to say that the wireless controllers suck though. Complete garbage. They used infrared like a TV remote to make them wireless and they have a very small cone for the receiver. If you don't sit straight on to the the unit the controllers don't function. All I can say is WTF? Why not go with a true wireless controller. That would have made sense.

[RuFiOPx]

a ps3 can play all these sytems

[HotatsuKage]

needs sega master system before getting the atari consoles

[leo81199]

The man with the blue hair can no longer screw the rules

[workensmart]

No offense but playing old games on there intended consoles is part of the fun. The classic look of the original NES, SNES, and the first and second gen Sega Genesis is something that can't be replaced.

[deadguy718]

lol, who the fuck wants to play ultraman??

[Choji2011]

MOTHERFUCKING ULTRAMAN!!!! lol



[1tobedoneX]

We already have the Super Genintari.

[fareedbakhit]

when is this thing came out?

looks really good!

[SeberHusky]

@fareedbakhit

Release Date: March 27, 2011

Nine months ago is when it came up on the market.
