RetroBit Super Retro Trio Review

Being a taste of the classics, the Super Retro Trio is looking forward to bring the good memories back, by playing NES, SNES, Super Famicom and Sega Genesis games. With a solid hardware and several ports for the controllers, is the Retrobit's latest console worth to be checked out? Let's find out.

From the moment you unboxed the console, there are several things to be noticed: the system comes with two SNES - like controllers, an AV and a Composite cable, a travel adapter, an instruction manual, and the console itself. Picking the system up may surprise you, because of just how light it is. In terms of dimensions, the console is about the same size as a Nintendo Super Famicom. There are three ports for the cartridges, and on the front there are all the controller ports to play your games. One thing to note, though, is that the console doesn't emulate the games, but it actually plays them. It's nothing else than just a Frankenstein combination of the NES, SNES and the Sega Genesis. Another advantage is the AV and Composite output, so these games can be enjoyed on a good-old CRT television. 

The controllers are great. I mean, fantastic. They are a 1:1 clone of the SNES controllers. The previous generation, the Retro 2, came with a pair of cheap controllers, trying to clone the originals. So it's nice to see this time around that they actually made them right. Not all people have a retro collection, perhaps they just started collecting games.

The games run fantastic on the console; I was surprised to see how well the games run on the system. Having no lag at all, plus adding the AV and S-Video output, this console is really a good replacement for the older systems.

To sum up, this console is amazing. I was very surprised to see such a well-build console and controller, and not only that, but the fact that the games run perfectly, it's safe to say that the latest console from Retro-Bit is a true replacement for the much older systems.
