I was very skeptical at first and wasn’t sure it would work in the UK, but I’m pleased to say it works amazingly! The only issue is that games fit very tightly, but I would highly recommend this and have already done so to my friends and family.

I’ve always been on the hunt for an HD solution for my NES, SNES and Genesis. I had my eye on the the Retron 5 but due to its severe hardware failure as well as being an emulation machine so certain games can’t work for the life of it, I’m going to play it safe and not buy it. I had my eye on other clones consoles but out of all of them the Retro Trio + caught my attention as it allowed you to play the big three instead of only two out of the three which is inconvenient.
The system came in nice working condition. In the box you get the system, HDMI cable, USB connector, USB outlet adapter, and two controllers.
The controllers in my opinion are the biggest highlight as I used to own the Retro Duo back in the day and the controllers for that weren’t the best as they were very plasticky and didn’t feel the most responsive. But these were the opposite, the plastic used isn’t so plasticky, the control pad, the buttons and even the triggers all feel really nice. Honestly I feel like using these controllers instead of the originals because of how nice they feel. Though I will say that the control pad is sensitive as I found my character moving to the right or left by just positioning my thumb to the left or right of the top part of the pad. But that’s not really a deal breaker as long as your pushing exactly in the direction you’re trying to go.
All games I’ve tested on it so far have worked with no real issue but bare in mind my collection isn’ the largest so this is NOT a replacement to the original systems, so there may be some games that may not work so bare that in mind. But the image quality is great, especially on the NES side, never have Tetris looked so good haha. But seriously the games look so crisp without any rough edges. Very smooth, very sharp, very nice. The sound as far I can hear is pretty much spot on though it is softer sounding then the original systems so you might want to turn up your volume to hear, but no big really. I also haven’t noticed any input lag. The buttons respond pretty instantaneously as far as I see it and I’ve been playing the originals for quite some time. I played Contra on the NES and TMNT 4 on both the SNES and Genesis, very button heavy games and noticed no real lag.
The system also have AV output on it so if you have AV cables you can hook it to your CRT and play your light gun games, though I haven’t been able to test this at the time of this review.
But the one deal breaker for some if not all people is the fact that the system stretches the picture of your games. This right here is literally the only negative I can find for this, however it’s not at all a deal breaker for me as my TV allows you to change the aspect ratio. I also plan on using this to record gameplay footage for game reviews in the future and you can fix the aspect ratio in the editing software. So the stretched picture is no problem, but it is too bad they didn’t include an aspect ratio switch on the system.
But overall I’m extremely pleased with this console, the games look and play great and the system works without fail. If your looking for an HD solution for you old retro games and are okay with working around the stretched picture, then the Retro Trio + is worth the price of admission:)

Overall Super Retro Trio seems like a quality solution for playing old cartridges. I have a bunch of Nintendo games my son is always asking me about. But until now I had no way to play them.
I looked at several retro gaming consoles and this one seemed like it had the best reviews and I can see why. The console itself seems well made. It is about the same size as the original Nintendo. It is lighter, but it doesn’t feel flimsy. The included HDMI cable seems to be of good quality and fit snugly into both the console and my TV.
The games feel a little tight sliding into and out of the system. My son needed some help pushing them in and pulling them out. I could see this causing an issue in the future if kids wiggle and torque the games too much and damage the console.
The controllers definitely don’t feel as well made as the original SNES controllers. They are lighter and feel more flimsy but they work well. The buttons are springy and firm and have good response. The SNES controllers that are included will work with Genesis and NES games too, and the button mapping is well done. For instance, they chose the right buttons for NES to allow you to easily hold down run and jump at the same time in Super Mario Bros. I think these controllers are good enough that there is no need to buy third-party ones. However, the wires that attach them to the system are short, so if you want more freedom you should consider a wireless SNES controller.
There are also ports that allow you to plug in your original NES and Genesis controllers as well, which is a cool feature since I have a lot of Nintendo gear I am looking forward to playing with. I tested using one of the included controllers for player one and an original nintendo controller for player two and it worked. The NES Game Genie also worked.
The graphics were as I remember them and had no issue displaying on an HDTV screen. Sometimes a weird line would show up on the screen. Juggling the cartridge a bit to make sure it was properly seated resolved this issue.
The music sounds a little different on some of the games. I noticed this the most on Donkey Kong, where some music is missing. But overall, this is a small issue.
For the price I really don’t think you can beat this system if you have a bunch of cartridges laying around and need a way to play them, or if you just want to consolidate down to a single system for all your retro games. I’ve only played with this for a few days and I will update in a few months to talk about durability and reliability over time.

Vi varios videos antes de realizar la compra entre la comparativa de este sistema vs retron y en verdad estoy muy complacido con la compra, el único inconveniente que le veo es que el control debió de ser multiplataforma, afortunadamente tengo controles para cada consola pero si debieron hacer eso o de perdida incluir un control inalámbrico fuera de eso ahorra tiempo al tener que conectar cada consola para poder jugar y la calidad de audio y sonido es muy buena

Retro Trio HD wenn man lust hat auf seine klassiker. Das einzige kleine manko ist dass es super mario allstars nicht abspielt, habe dafür eine andere retro trio version (schwarz blau) die hat einen snes pal-ntsc schalter und bei dieser konsole läuft das spiel. Wie gesagt die Konsole ist ansonsten gut und ich habe sie für einen Freund gekauft.
