I still have the original systems. I don't like the compatability issues with clone systems; most notably how none of them will run Castlevania 3.
I believe the retro-duo does run Castlevania 3 and super mario RPG (on snes side) ... its the best of the clones out there. I had gotten the model prior to the retro-duo (I think it was called the twin-duo) but that didn't play castlevania 3 or SMRPG.... and on the nes side the contacts broke off after about 4 weeks.... THE SNES SIDE STILL WORKS LIKE A CHARM THOUGH. I have been planing to pick one of these up and think I will soon.
wowxorz the red yellow white cables?!??$?!@$@!
my super famicoms and snes run over s-video and rgb
and my av famicom runs over composite (red yellow white for all you special people out there)
I bought some clones before. no compatibility problems. I just couldn't stand that they sounded a bit different from the original system

Bought two clones and found that they didn't play even some first party games.. No Super Mario World? :evil:

ouch. that game doesn't even use any special chips. To me clones are good to collect just for the flattery aspect. But I've never seen a clone that didn't have any issues playing something right.
I don't like clone systems
They ruin the authenticity of the originals
I still kick myself for buying that awful Cyber World Famiclone when I was a teenager...

Clones are pieces of junk. Authentic all the way. Full compatibility and look always. And they only go up in value, not down! And they're much easier to fix.
I would go with even saying that the Genesis 3 was sort of a clone.

I agree the Genesis 3 is like a clone.
clones are there for flattery purpose. Same thing with bootleg arcade boards and mvs carts
I want one of these...
I may get one when I get my tax return...This is literally the system I wish I had when I was a kid. Mostly because everyone was split into three camps: Sega is better than SNES, SNES is better than Sega, I got my NES from my older brother. It's only $47.99 on StoneAgeGamer.com and the best part is I could play Star Fox, Kirby's Adventure, and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 all on the same console.

yeah, like never working. Bring back those good times! I think that 3 in 1 clone is pretty badass considered it has 3 of the greatest consoles of all time.

I was told that the Retro Duo doesn't use accessories such as Nintendo Zapper... Is that true? :?

Yeah, because there are no NES ports, just SNES. I heard they were gonna make a converter, though.sonic64I was told that the Retro Duo doesn't use accessories such as Nintendo Zapper... Is that true? :?
