If you haven't heard, you are missing out.
Yobo is a company that is in business for those that still play the old school games. (I'm talking NES, SNES and Sega Genesis.) They make amazing hybrids that back then, you wouldn't even dream of it being possible to even exist.
First up, is the FC Twin:

Here's all the info you need.

Yes, it's Wikipedia, but it's the truth. There's a reliable number of trustworthy people keeping an eye on this page.
Next is, the Retro Duo:

Next up is, the Gen-X Dual Station:

And finally, the one I believe to be the best... the Yobo FC 3 Plus:

Makes me wish I was a retro gamer again. :)
What do you guys think of these things?

That's pretty neat!

Looks like it can make some folks happy who have the game cartridges for some or all of those systems but their consoles either don't work or acting a bit funny. Or for some who's do work but may be thinking what if some day they don't, and want a spare.
