Official Super Retro Trio Review & Preorder Thread

The unit has the S-Video out capability again, but I'm not expecting much since old games never look good on high-rez TVs with Svideo out.

Also, there is the adapter for the GBA stuff, but I was not able to see that currently, though I will be able to showcase it at E3 so stay tuned for that.

yeah, composite and S-video. For these systems, that's fine and dandy for a good majority of its target audience that would choose a CRT over an HDTV anyway.

About the GBA adapter, when you go to e3 please make a point to ask the RetroBit representative if that device will also play original GameBoy and GameBoy Color titles as well as GBA, or if it's only GBA. RetroBit's been strangely tight lipped about this in their press releases thus far, whereas Hyperkin said GB, GBC and GBA compatibility would be there right out of the gate when they first showed off the Retron5 at PAX.

Why is the NES Controller Port on the side??

Because of this, Can't hook up the NES Four Score to it

Test out Castlevania 3 (NES) and Virtua Racing (Genesis)

It's a good point, but it's something that only the hardcore NES gamer would even notice, and probably not important enough for Retrobit to consider when trying to make the front of the case as small as possible.

This problem could be addressed with an NES extension cable (or two if you want two or four player support) but it is a minor inconvenience, yes.
