Got a pile of old cartridges and controllers lying about since the 90s? Want to relive the excitement of blowing into your NES cartridges? Well, cheap peripheral company Hyperkin has just released the RetroN 3, a slightly-knock-off games console that plays original NES, SNES and SEGA Mega Drive game cartridges, using the original control pads too (although it comes with two wireless SEGA Mega Drive style controllers).
We’re not sure what SEGA or Nintendo would have to say about it, but as long as it doesn’t explode, at $70 it seems like a nice little curiosity.
Six controller ports! Eat that, Nintendo 64.
I read a review of this earlier. They said it was pretty good but the NES emulation was a bit shoddy. The reviewer also pointed out that the Super GameBoy worked on it, so if you have one of those you can play GameBoy games too.
And then can I use a GameBoy camera with that?
You could use it on the SNES, I think.
Thinking of making some dodgy home movies, then?
