So I'm going through a tough decision. See, I live near this retro game trading store, and I buy video games from them all the time. They're selling this product from Hyperkin called the Retron 3. Now the Retron 3 is a fancy red console that comes with two wireless controllers that you use. They're $59.00 at the store, which is the price of the only Nintendo Entertainment System they have in stock. The Retron 3 can play three types of cartridges. Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo. The Retron 3 even has two SNES and two NES ports in case you have the controllers and you want to use them should you want to due to the Retron 3 coming with two wireless controllers. So should I get the Genesis, SNES and NES and feel good about it, or save my money and buy the Retron 3??

Sounds cool, before this thread I've never heard of retron 3. Well anyway I guess you should by it, even though some major video games are out (grand theft auto 5, Pokémon X and Y [which isn't out yet], and other games that came out this summer) and not to mention the PS4, still I guess you should but it. Hope I help you with the decision.

PixelBrick : I think you should buy the retron 3 because it has more games and stuff. It is a combination of retro stuff!

At a cheap price as well! Go ahead and get it!

I think you should save money and buy the Retron 3 because it is cheaper and sounds like it would be a lot cooler than buying a Genesis, an SNES, and an NES.

If it was me, I would buy the actual consoles. I would want to have them since they are kind of like collector's items. But it is up to you.

tgags123 : Well I am selling my NES to TreasurePlanet. And I have an SNES and Genesis. I'm trying to collect all the consoles.

I just bought an Intellivision and Mega Man X yesterday!
