The FC Twin is a Nintendo clone console capable of playing NES and SNES games. GameBoy games are compatible via the Super GameBoy Adapter. It uses SNES compatible controllers and works with other SNES accessories, but it will not work with the NES form-factor controllers or accessories. As with many clones, there are incompatibilities with some NES and SNES games.
