# Conglomerated Gaming Machines The RetroN 3 Gaming Console is a Retro Gaming Geek's Wet Dream By Michael Hines | Published 2010-07-06 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retron-3-gaming-console References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2010/07/02/retron-3-conglomerates-your-nes-snes-and-genesis/) & [hyperkin](http://hyperkin.com/index.php/retro-system-retron-3.html/) If you can't let go of your old [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-classic), Super Nintendo, or even [Sega Genesis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrogames) games, then the RetroN 3 gaming console is the system for you. This console plays games from all three of those old school systems *and* comes with wireless controllers. The RetroN 3 gaming console is a steal of a deal if you ask me. Finding a NES, [SNES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rg353ps), and Sega Genesis in working order for under the $69.99 asking price of the RetronN 3 is almost an impossible task. Gamers and secret cheapskates (me) will love this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Gaming:** Opportunity for businesses to develop and market retro gaming consoles and accessories. - **Consolidated Gaming Consoles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create all-in-one gaming consoles that play games from multiple systems. - **Wireless Controllers:** Potential for companies to create and sell wireless controllers compatible with old gaming consoles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Consoles:** Companies in the gaming console industry can explore manufacturing and selling retro gaming consoles. - **Gaming Accessories:** Opportunity for businesses to produce and sell wireless controllers and other accessories for old gaming systems. - **Second-hand Gaming Market:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to capture the market by selling refurbished gaming consoles and retro games. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Retro Handheld Gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-classic.md) - [Accessible Nostalgic Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anbernic-rg35xx-h.md) - [Millennium-Inspired Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anbernic-rg34xx.md) - [Modernized 90s Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analogue-3d-console.md) - [Nostalgic 90s-Inspired Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analogue-3d-funtastic.md) - [Retro Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamestation-retro.md) - [Miniature Retro Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-game-consoles-1.md) - [Retro Handheld Gaming Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retroid-pocket-3.md) - [Affordable Emulation Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rg353ps.md)
