The Super Retro Trio comes in black with red accents, and at 2.4 by 8 by 9.2 inches (HWD) is necessarily bulky to accommodate the cartridge slots and controller connections. At 1.3 pounds, it looks and feels a bit cheap. It's not poorly made and the moving parts don't wiggle, but the entire body is built out of a very light plastic. The electronics are small, simple, and not particularly power-intensive, so holding it almost feels like picking up an empty shell of a device. Fortunately, it's functionally much sturdier than it initially seems, and its utilitarian design is certainly well thought-out.

Controllers

Two SNES-style controllers with Genesis-like plugs come with the Super Retro Trio, and while they're functional, they don't feel quite as satisfying or responsive as the original controllers. Thankfully, the ports worked flawlessly with my own gamepads. You can use the included controllers with games for any of the systems. You can also use a Genesis controller to play NES and SNES games, albeit with mixed results depending on the game, and you can't use NES or SNES controllers to play Genesis games.
