Every device in the iGC catalog is a solo retro gaming machine by default — one player, one screen, one controller. The R36T adds two capabilities that change this: 2-player local arcade (two players on the same device using shared controls) and RetroArch Netplay (online play over Wi-Fi against any Netplay-enabled player anywhere in the world). These two additions transform the retro library. Street Fighter II (SNES) goes from single-player arcade practice to real opponent vs play. Bomberman (NES) goes from single-player mode to head-to-head. Mario Kart 64 goes from solo time trial to competitive racing. Contra (NES) goes from solo to co-op survival. The R36T at $99.99 is the R36 series entry for the player who has a gaming partner — a sibling, a friend, a significant other, or an online opponent. Blue and Black: the two colors that map directly to the R36T’s multiplayer identity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 2.
