So, about 3 months ago, I was at the game store. There was a white console.It had three slots for cartridges,and by the sizes of the slots, it looked like it was a console that could play games from 3 consoles. I think they were : Sega, NES, and SNES.Anyone know what is?

Sounds like a knockoff machine like this one:

When it comes to Famiclones and the like (ripoff versions of popular consoles), there are literally over 9000 types. You'd have to gave more specifics to track down the actual model.

Problem is none of them work as well as the originals do. From what I've heard, most of the SNES ones don't play games that use the special chips and some of the NES games have weird issues that used to come up when you used game genie like weird sounding music in the original Mega Man. Plus most of them don't have actual NES ports so no duck hunt :(

They are not knock-offs, the patents for those consoles have expired so they are perfectly legal. They work perfectly as any regular console with the exception of games that have a special chip like say Castlevania III, Star Fox etc. But thats what? about ten titles among hundreds of them? They do what they do well.

The toaster that the AVGN is just a re-tooled NES so it has nothing to do with these consoles.

If I remember correctly, this is only true for the original NES.
