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

Part 1 of 2. Classic Game Room HD reviews the Hyperkin RETRON 3. Part 2 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiTlZgz_CUo This is a video game console that plays Super Nintendo SNES, Nintendo 8-bit NES and 16-bit Sega Genesis video games. It even has S-Video (which works for Genesis and SNES) as well as standard composite video. The Retron3 comes with 2 wireless controllers which are acceptable for NES games but have poor Genesis button mapping. More importantly though, the Retron 3 allows you to play with your original controllers for Genesis, NES and SNES!! Now, that's a feature!! This CGR review of the Hyperkin Retron 3 shows gameplay from several video games including Gaiares on Genesis, Ultraman on SNES and Zanac on Nintendo Entertainment System NES. This video shows the s-video quality of the Hyperkin Retron3 compared to a modified Sega Genesis Model 1 and demonstrates the audio quality. Video quality is very impressive and audio is not bad, although it lacks some of the dynamics that the original Genesis produces. Overall performance was awesome and CGR thinks that this console should not be overlooked when shopping for replacement old school systems. Flexibility, quality and original controller compatibility make the Retron 3 a bombastic classic video game console.

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

-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.

AVGN should get this.

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

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

[ProManUnitedFan]

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