The RetroN 3 is a 3-in-1 NES, SNES and Genesis clone console distributed in the US (and possibly designed) by Hyperkin, released in 2009 in black and red versions for $69.99. [1] The Retron-1 was simply a Famiclone and no Retron-2 is known to exist, but Hyperkin also released a 2-in-1 NES/SNES clone called the C2.
It was released after Yobo Gameware Co.'s FC 3 Plus and is said to be more compatible. Unlike that console it has ports for all three consoles' controllers (which can only be used to play the respective console's games), as well as its own wireless pads which work with all three. There are two known revisions, the latter of which has a higher quality NES-on-a-chip and is compatible with Castlevania III, which the earlier version is not. The newer version comes in a smaller box with the text "Tri-System" instead of "3 in 1 System".[2]
