So far everything I have thrown at it seems to work. I tried an original Castlevania 3 cartridge and works great. Some people said that Battletoads don’t work on this clone console, but I played it until I beat the first stage and also seems to work. I tried different everdrives, the n8 version of the nes Everdrive works great, the Super Nintendo Everdrive, the first version of it works great, and the sega genesis mega drive v3 works great as well. The picture is really good too, I was worried that it would look blurry at only a 720p signal but looks fine. The sound although seems more on the treble side of sound than the bass, but it differs game by game. I recommend this clone console for what it costs you probably won’t find a better hd clone console for the price. It’s great for playing original cartridges if you feel nostalgia. Hope this helps others in trying to make a decision on purchasing this clone console Review: Retro gaming consolidated! - Fantastic system (so far) really impressed... Definitely a massive upgrade in terms of picture quality its a noticeable difference switching from using the OEM SNES RF converter cable compared to the retron 3(HD)'s HDMI capability on my "older" HD sansui LCD tv Regarding inserting game cartridges I have to say the pins are a very tight *especially at first like it's a bit nerve inducing* but after some use they do get less "gorilla grippy" and easier to use. Regarding the controllers in my personal opinion they are incredibly well made, I would say arguably as nice as OEM maybe a bit stiffer but they also haven't been played with for 30+ years so there's that. all and all 9.5/10 really satisfied with the purchase, definitely a fantastic way to consolidate and minimize the footprint (declutter) of your retro gaming experience while also upgrading the visual aesthetics of the games to the modern era. If this thing existed in the 90s every kid in the world would have been asking for one no doubt. (Additional context tested all 3 cartridge ports *nes snes Genesis* everything played accordingly and all of the accessories worked as described and seem to be high quality) ## Features - HD audio and video (720p) with 16: 9/ 4: 3 Switch (HD cable only) - High compatibility with (NTSC/PAL) NES, Super NES/Super Famicom, and Genesis/Mega drive cartridges - Hyperkin-engineered perfect pin (patent pending) Technology sets a new standard for state-of-the-art, high-quality pins - Comes with a "Scout" And a "Squire" Premium classic-style Controller, Controller ports support compatible controllers for each Console - Includes AV ports with AV cable, 3 ft.

This one is a hardware emulation vs. software emulation. So this particular Retron model itself - won't save your progress, no. **Q: How are the controllers?** A: Seem to work fine, when I play Tecmo Super Bowl somtimes A<-- gets stuck **Q: Can this play snes games or only sf?** A: It plays NES, SNES and SEGA GENSIS games. I have played all three on this unit and it works great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is awesome. *by D***Z on May 19, 2024* If your thinking of getting a clone console for your retro gaming of nes, snes and sega genesis, get this one.

The system has 3 cartridge slots on the top of the system, and controller ports for SNES on the front, Genesis on the right side and NES on the left side (controller ports support both Hyperkin and OEM system controllers if you have them). What's in the box: In the box, there is the RetroN 3 system, HDMI cable, AV cable, Power cable (Micro USB to USB A which goes into a power brick), one Hyperkin SNES controller (the Scout) and one Hyperkin Genesis controller (the Squire) and an adapter for the SNES controller to hook into the NES port. It also comes with instruction booklet and a Hyperkin logo sticker. The system is a clone system that plays original game cartridges. This is done by using a chipset in the system vs. emulation (i.e. the RetroN 5). There are pros and cons to this, but I personally decided to go the RetroN 3 route (System on a chip - SOAC) rather than a system like the RetroN 5 that uses emulation. Its nice for me because with my library of games, to just have this system hooked up, and know the system is reading from the cartidges themselves (vs. emulation which uses a file dump and your cartridge unlocks an emulation file stored on the system) is a big pro for me in the fact that there has been no issues reading my game save files on the carts from many years ago. Function, Gameplay and Sound: There are physical power and reset buttons, as well as a toggle switch to go between NES, SNES and Genesis slots. As others have mentioned, the cartridge slots (even the controller ports) are pretty tight. The SNES and Genesis slots (I don't have an NES cart on hand so can't speak to this yet) feel like you really have to push down on the cartridge to make it fit on the pins correctly. I remedy this by pushing the cart in on the left or right side of the cartridge and slowly work it into the slot, instead of going straight in and out which helps a lot. This is also true for removing the games. Gameplay is pretty spot on. I have not noticed any lag using the HDMI cable to my TV. Note that the HDMI cable supplied is pretty short though. The supplied controllers are pretty good for a 3rd party, they are well built, feel nice in hand, and function well for getting playing right out of the box, although some inputs seemed just ever so slightly off (thinking of Street Fighter special moves or precise platforming in DK Country mine cart levels for example). However, the fact that you can use OEM controllers is a great save here. The supplied controller cord length (I believe 10 ft.) is also very generous. Graphics look nice in HD (720p) and there is a toggle switch on the back of the console to switch between a 16:9 and 4:3 ratio. Colors are represented nicely, although i did notice compared to original hardware some slight differences in brightness and color tone (but nothing egregious or that would be noticed by most unless you are super familiar with the games). Sound is also pretty great. The soundtracks and sound effect of most games are re-created by the Hyperkin nicely. I can not speak to the NES at this moment though (I have read elsewhere that the NES seems to have the most problems here in this category - i.e., super mario bros. coin sound effects being off, etc.). Final Thoughts This is a great option to play NES, SNES, and Genesis games using one system that re-creates the old days of video gaming in HD. Is the Hyperkin as good as the original systems? Absolutely not. The Hyperkin is not perfectly recreating the original experience, however, it does come close, and offers a great budget solution to have something that can play multiple game systems through 1 HDMI port, and it plays the games really well (at least the several SNES and Genesis games I have tried). The system itself seems well built, but I am interested to see how long it will last with regular usage. If you are on the fence, I would say give it a try. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hyperkin RetroN 3 HD 3-in-1 Retro Gaming Console for NES, Super Famicom, and Genesis/Mega Drive (Jasper Red) - Super NES - Retrotech Super 900 In 1 Cartridge For SNES Super Nintendo 16Bit Game Console - Red - KIWITATA 2 Pack 2.4GHz Wireless Controller for SNES Original Console, Rechargeable Wireless Remote Gamepad Controller for SNES Super Entertainment System Console-7 Pin Connector --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/183117266-hyperkin-retron-3-hd-3-in-1-retro-gaming-console](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/183117266-hyperkin-retron-3-hd-3-in-1-retro-gaming-console) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
