There is a huge variety of consoles available which enable you to play classics from Nintendo, Sega, and also your arcade favourites.

What Is An All-In-One Retro Games Console?

Typically traditional consoles would have you use some kind of cartridge each time you played a game. This unfortunately meant a lot of swapping and changing, and as mentioned, needing lots of shelf or drawer space.

These days however, many retro consoles have tens, sometimes hundreds of games already built into the system.

This is done by converting old game cartridges to ROM files, where the game is essentially stored in a file on computer. These ROMS can then be simply accessed via the system’s main menu.

Also, some third party developers have combined versions of their favourite companies systems into one console.

Meaning for example Nintendo fans who still prefer to play with cartridges can purchase a system which has slots which can accommodate, for example, the games from a NES as well as a SNES/Famicom.

In this article we will cover the best all-in-one retro gaming consoles available today.

Whether you are a Nintendo or Sega fan, or want a retro console for on the move, you will almost certainly find something for you.

1/ SNES Super Nintendo Mini Classic

Pros
Perfect SNES Emulation
HD Picture
Option To Add Games

Spec:
Comes fully loaded with 21 games
Rewind Minute or More Gameplay
Compatible with the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro
Plug In & Play
For Up To 2 x players

Looking just like a miniature version of the classic console from the 90’s, the Super Nintendo Mini is perfect for the 90’s Nintendo gamer who wants a trip down memory lane.

It comes preloaded with 21 of the best games available on the system.

It also comes with two controllers, which are full sized and not a smaller scale like the console.

Pros

This system is easy to set up, and ideal for beginners.

The games run perfectly and look great running at full 60hz/60fps. The image is also upscaled to 720p.

You can add more games if you wish as this system has 246mb of internal storage.

Also, being able to rewind the last minute of game play is a nice touch.

Cons

If you aren’t charging this from a USB port you will need to purchase a power adapter.

All games are run off the internal storage, so unfortunately this doesn’t take old SNES cartridges. And annoyingly you need to reboot the system to change games.

It would be useful if the controller cables were longer, or if the controllers themselves were wireless. However cable extenders are available.

Conclusion

An awesome little console which demonstrates how well the Nintendo classics have stood the test of time.

2/ Atari Flashback 8 Gold

Pros
Faithful Recreation of Original Consoles
Save/Pause/Rewind Games

Spec:
2 x 2.4G wireless Controllers & 2 paddles
720p HDMI output
Multiple display modes
120 games

Atari were one of the originators of bringing arcade games into the home way back in the 70’s.

Modelled on the original Atari 2600, the Flashback 8 Gold aims to take you back to that period with this great looking tribute to their original consoles.

Bundled with 120 games and also two controller types, playing all the Atari classics at home has never been easier.

The Flashback 8 enables you to replay classics such as Pitfall, Space Invaders, and Centipede.

Pros

The bundled controllers are an almost completely faithful recreation of the original controllers.

This system is small, lightweight, easy to carry around and store.

Every game has save/pause/rewind features. These abilities really help to get through tough spots in games and are outstanding new features.

Cons

The wireless joysticks run on batteries, and need two AAA batteries.

The paddle movement is somewhat tight. However they “break in” with use.

There are reports of issues with the joysticks not going left or right. However it was discovered recently this only happens when you leave the paddles plugged in at the same time.

Conclusion

A great way to experience the beginnings of console gaming, and a definite must for all Atari fans!

3/ Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Classic

Pros
Accepts Sega Genesis & Genesis 2 Cartridges
Compatible With Original Genesis Controllers
Great Value

Spec:
Includes 81 Classic Sega Games

No list of retro all in one games consoles would be complete without an entry from Sega.

Pros

A great value
