New Retro Consoles With Mega Drive Compatibility Are Coming

Meet the Super Retro Trio and the RetroN 5 after the jump.

Polygon reports the maker of the Retro Duo and Retro-Duo consoles that allow you to play NES and SNES games, are briging us the Super Retro Trio, a console that plays NES, SNES and Mega Drive games.

This piece of hardware by Retro-Bit is being distributed by Innex Inc. and sports three different cartridge slots for games of the three different original systems. It also features six controller ports, a region switch for Genesis/Mega Drive cartridges and comes with two controllers. It's been built to support S-Video and AV output.

The Super Retro Trio (SR3) will sell for $69.99 and with two color options: Red/Black and Silver/Black.

It'll also support the Super Retro Adapter, allowing you to play original Game Boy Advance cartridges, making this a true 4-in-1 machine. The Super Retro Adapter (SRA) sells for $39.99. A special SR3+SRA bundle will be available for $89.99.

The SR3 will be competing against another "new-retro" console, the RetroN 5, designed by Hyperkin to play multi-region NES, SNES, Game Boy (and Color), Game Boy Advance and Mega Drive cartridges, while also featuring an HDMI output at 720p capability.

The RetroN 5 will come with five cartridge slots, SD card slot game data saves, two controller ports for each console and include two bluetooth controllers. Hyperkin are hoping to release it sometime after June for under $100. You can check the console announcement below.

Seems like a great time to be a retrogamer. Any thoughts on these new consoles? Share them below or via our forums.
