  • Almost perfect, but not quite.
Color: Gray
Really, this review is 4.5 stars. This console is a blast to use. I’ve got over 100 Genesis, NES, and SNES games on my shelf, and until now, I relied on emulation. But nothing beats the feeling of popping in a physical cartridge and jumping straight into gameplay. It’s nostalgic, satisfying, and just works. I usually avoid scanlines, but the implementation here is subtle enough that I forget it’s even on. The system includes all the modern quality-of-life features: save states, fast-forward, cheats, and even super easy ROM patching. That last one has me buying Famicom and Super Famicom games on eBay, currently I am patch titles like Legend of Zelda—it’s addictive. Sadly it's only one patch per game. It’s easy to use and genuinely fun, but it’s not without flaws. Reproduction cartridges are hit-or-miss. Most American releases like Moonwalker, Chrono Trigger, and Lufia II work fine. But translated imports like Clock Tower and Live A Live don’t boot—oddly, Back to the Future II and Bahamut Lagoon do. There is custom firmware that may fix all this, but I am just enjoying Deja Vu for the NES right now to care, and yes I added a patch to make it uncensored which I added a screenshot for. At $155, it’s a bit pricey. If you don’t care about save states, ROM patching, or support for Famicom, GBA, GBC, and GB, the Retron 3 HD might be a better value at around $60 less. But for my needs, this system is fantastic. Bonus: it comes with a SNES-style controller, which is a huge win—especially compared to the Retron’s default controller, which is laughably bad. * All screenshot has scanlines turned on. ... show more

  • Incredible value
Color: Black
This all-in-one package is a really great deal for playing almost all NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance games. It plays games for the Japanese Famicom and Super Famicom as well. You can use any of the original controllers for the NES, SNES, or Genesis as well, which is good because the pack-in controller is not very good. The emulation is incredible, with a good selection of visual filters to get the best look on modern TVs depending on the game and your preference. Running through HDMI makes the games look very crisp, and very easy to hook up to any modern display and widely used capture devices like the Elgato Game Capture HD line of products, so it's great for streaming and content creation on top of just being a great way to play your old games on a new TV. Thanks to how the system handles playing your games, you can apply translation patches as well, saving money on retro games which can be much cheaper to buy the Japanese game, even in genres with lots of text. Best of all, it has saves independently on the hardware, so even if your games have dead batteries and can't normally save, you can play them hassle-free without having to replace the battery on the cartridge. Overall, I highly recommend replacing the controller with a different one, either another Bluetooth controller like from 8bitdo or any of Hyperkin's other aftermarket controllers for SNES or Genesis, but after that, this gives you a sleek all-in-one console to play many retro games so you can have a convenient, overall good package to play those games on modern TVs either for pure enjoyment or capturing or streaming gameplay. If you have lots of retro games on consoles this supports and want a good way to play them all together, with original controllers, and anything mentioned previously appeals to you, this is a great pickup. ... show more

  • Retro time
Color: Gray
This retron is something that brings me and my kiddos together in one of the best ways I get to share my old games with them and I get to see the joy they have with old mario and packman 2, trolls island and many others I honestly think this is good for kids it keeps them away from a lot of modern games that are not fit for them and you get to share the games you grew up with your munchkins this is honestly a great console and I hope more people pick one up and be careful with the power button kids love to jab at it and it can break if hit to hard ... show more
