(More customer reviews)The retron 3 first of all isn't a collection of old school games or a brand new console; it's a clone console. It's a big industry that popped up when the copyrights on the technology of old game consoles expired. They're completely legal recreations of classic video game systems, and the retron 3's claim to fame is that it emulates the big three of 90's nostalgia: NES, SNES and Genesis - any kid who cared about social status owned at least one of them and while some of us are lucky enough to still have working ones, most of us either sold ours, had it break down, or are simply interested in buying the ones we never had, but aren't willing to drop the cash for all of them complete with the original power adapter and RF converter (spoiler alert: those had a tendency to break.
The Retron 3 can't play every game for these systems, there are a (very)few nintendo and at least 2 sega games that use special chips who's patents are still owned by their respective companies, and they won't play on this and if you're interested in a full list, it's an easy enough find on google. When you get past that what you have is an unbelievable machine. The S-Video output these things come with, for those of you unaware, is outdated by todays standards but is the distant future of 20XX compared to the technology the old consoles used - it makes genesis and snes games look absolutely unbelievable. The colors are better, lightening is balanced and perfect and everything is 3 times sharper; the only downside is that s-video won't work on NES games - this isn't the developers being lazy, s-video and 480p was stuff nasa probably wasn't using when the NES came out and the cartridges simply aren't programed with that resolution in mind.
All in all, there are a handful of games that don't work with the retron 3, but every other game on all three consoles will be absolutely incredible compared to the original hardware, and even the NES running through av cables instead of s-video will look and sound better than those old 80s screw in adapters most of you won't remember even existing.
The only bad thing i can say about the system is the controllers they come with. They're IR like remote controls, and they need to be pointer DIRECTLY at the console for them to work. They lag, the button schemes are hard to get used to, they're junk. Reproduction controllers for the orignal consoles are cheap and you'd be doing yourself a favor by splurging on some.
