This product is cheap, and as far as I can tell, that's not a bad thing this time. It plays NES games very well, with some noticeable but minor issues. Rest assured, the issues are small and this product is well worth the tiny price tag! For those interested in more detail, check below. Let's talk good things about the system; it's tiny! It's very small, basically the size of two NES games laid on top of each other (3 at the most). It definitely works! I've played it very heavily for several days now and I'm loving this thing! I've been playing with friends as well, and they've also been impressed. Using old NES controllers definitely works great, but I actually really like the new turbo controllers too! They are a bit different from the classics, but the turbo functions can be very nice in brawlers and such. Just FYI, the picture makes the controllers look wireless, but they aren't. Ok, time to talk bad things. There are some bad things, but they are not a huge deal, especially considering the price tag of this thing. the Retron 1 is cheap, as mentioned. This is definitely a reflection of the build quality; be gentle with it, it is definitely not rock-solid! The best way to put in a game is to gently push in one side of the cartridge, then the other. Original NES controllers fit more snugly than the new controllers do, so push those in slowly as well. The power cord and AV cables are also very cheap, but they work just fine (also, the power adapter is very small; a hidden plus). The controllers feel very cheap, yet are unexpectedly responsive. However, one of my turbo buttons on one controller is very stiff; it still works, but it doesn't give when you push on it. It's like an Atari 2600 joystick, if you have ever experienced one. So I'm not thrilled about that, but it's not a huge deal since it still works. The worst problem with the system isn't so bad because it applies to pretty much ALL NES clone systems; the NOAC. NOAC, for those who don't know, stands for Nintendo-On-A-Chip. This is the heart and soul of the system; this is what mimics the NES and allows the games to play. The problem with this is that it's all jammed on one little chip and everything is compressed and has to be de-compressed then to work. The de-compression causes a range of issues, from minor sound and graphical issues to game incompatibility. Now I personally do not have a game that does not work with it, but I've heard that Castlevania III does not work on it, and that Kirby's Adventure has very bad sound issues. I have only noted minor sound issues; the occasional note will be off a bit. I find this more funny than annoying because it is pretty rare and not obtrusive. Some colors can be a bit off, and that's a bit more annoying, but not in every game and it's not like the colors are negative or anything. One thing I found particularly interesting is that the image actually looks better on larger TV's than smaller ones. For instance, when I play it on my 19" TV, it doesn't look as good as when I play it on a 32" TV, or even a 47" TV. This brings me to another problem; I have a 32" TV, but I cannot get it to work on it. The problem is that my composite inputs use the component inputs, and consequently the component channel on my tv is also the composite channel, but the output signal is not strong enough that the TV switches to composite. So I am getting an RF Modulator and hopefully this can rectify the situation by using a completely different input. On the subject of larger TV's, I was very surprised with the video quality on larger TVs! I have used it on two different 32" TVs and one 47" TV, and I was very satisfied with the image quality! All things considered, this is a really great product for the price! Even if it were more expensive, I would be happy with the playability and gameplay quality; I would just have a problem with how cheap it feels and how gentle I have to be with it. But a little gentility is a small price to pay for being able to play these old gems in a reliable fashion! If you happen to receive a dud unit, I think it would be worth returning for another one; mine plays games very well and I'm very happy with it.

Before I start, know that this isn't some company posted review to push product. Be sure to read the guidelines I listed at the bottom however as you'll need them to get the best experience out of this item. Having said that, if you have old NES Games, but are having trouble playing them on your old side loading NES, this is the perfect item for you. For those that don't know, old NES Systems (the side loading ones) have a chip in them that blocked out unlicensed NES Carts and the side loading feature can actually make it harder over time to load a Game correctly. Yes, blowing in it isn't the solution. This device is excellent for playing NES Games. In addition to being a top loading system, it lacks the special chip that blocks unlicensed Game Carts allowing you to play Game Carts whose own chips couldn't sync up with the NES'. I tried this thing with several of my games including ones that wouldn't start up easily anymore and they now work great! Now, granted, this is a very lightweight and easily breakable system, and this is the second one I got because I sort of screwed up the first one I got last year. So read the Guidelines below. GUIDELINES FOR USE: 1) Ease NES Carts in so you don't bust the connector pins in the system or the system itself. 2) While this system does support the NES Zapper, be aware that the Zapper may not work on newer televisions due in part to a time delay between what's shown on the TV and what the Zapper picks up on it after the trigger is pulled. 3) Only use the AC Power Cord that's supplied with the system. On the first Retron System I got, I tried using the Power Cord from my Original NES to save time dealing with wires. It fried the Retron System, so I can't stress it enough, only use the Power Cord included! 4) Don't blow into your NES Carts or the system. In reality, it may seem to work, but it only damages the connector pins over time. --Bill--

I was looking for a cheep replacement to play homebrew games on. I was also looking for something small that wouldn't take up as much space. The plastic on this console & the controller isn't that bad!!! I have seen way worst on off brand consoles. It is the same size as an nes cart. The slow button is pointless! it pause the game & then unpause non stop!Its Pointless & annoying as hell! I Have not tryed any famicom games yet but I dont think it would work this looks like a 60 pin & not 70 pin. If it dosen't it's ok I have something to play the famicom ONLY games. if your looking for something that cost less the 40-80$ to play your old games that doesn't take up much space this is it. The one thing I don't like is that there is NO eject button!It has a DEATH GRIP when loading games. ALL & ALL IT DID WHAT I NEEDED & COST ME LESS MONEY THEN THE REAL NES.Mine is long gone. seems to work ok for now.

Bought this product back in June. It worked great at first. Had not had a chance to play it for a couple of months and then my youngest son wanted to play it. When we plugged it in, it promptly started smoking and a strong burning smell emanated from the back of the unit. It of course stopped working. I am afraid to purchase another unit. It played the games with no problem but it is very hard to remove the game cartridge.

It plays my games (Even Maniac Mansion, which some systems don't do!) - However, the whole thing about cartridges being difficult to remove is no joke. I have to RIP the games out of this console. IT's to the point where I'm almost scared to keep using it for fear of damaging my games. All in all - it works pretty well, supports classic controllers, and is very inexpensive. But it's pretty cheaply made and forms a death grip on your cartridges.

Product does work exactly as described. But even though the system works there are some slight issues, but nothing that should hinder you from purchasing it. I priced many systems and if you want a basic system this is the one. Plays all my NES games but with some having a slight pixel lag (or drag). If you want a all in one system then I would recommend getting a Wii with the "Homebrew Channel" and since you can get a good used Wii for 60-100 dollars and search craigslist for a shop that will get the games for you for around 25-75 depending on how many games you want. And with spending the 85-175 dollars you can have up to 1500 NES,SNES,Genesis,and PS1 games on 1 highly reliable system...but I digress...This is an Excellent buy for the price...would recommend to friends

The Retron 1 did not last very long. Because of it's tight port to insert the NES Cartridge, the pins bend and break off easily. This product was only $20, so you get what you paid for. I still don't recommend getting it. I recommend just buying an Original NES Console at Dkoldies.

I bought this system for myself for Christmas, and to my surprise, it arrived early. When I first took it out of the box, I felt how light it was, and thought I screwed myself over again. The AV cables were cheap as heck, so I replaced them with a $10 set. The power supply, however, is supposed to stick out a little in the jack. Turned it on, light came on. Put a game in (Top Gun) and had to force the controller (original, not the one supplied) into the ports. Turned it on, worked great. PROS: -Working NES clone that is compatible with all NES accessories. -Comes with 2 controllers, with built-in Turbo buttons and Slow button. Feels nice in hands, though VERY rattle-y -Plays all games, including unlicensed and the GameGenie -(Very) Small, (very) lightweight, and easy to travel with. CONS: -Color a little off (tried in 5 TVs) -Rarely there is an off-note in music or sound effect -Have to FORCE all controllers, except the ones provided -IF PLAYING Super Mario Bros or SMB3, the time-to-points SE at the end of a stage is one, long, LOUD beep -Hard to pull games out of the slot* Overall, I would recommend this to other buyers. It works great as a replacement, or as a time-saver until you get a real NES. *To fix this problem, when pulling out, tug at it slightly to one side, until one side pops out of the pin connectors and the other still in the pin connector. Then pull it out. It makes it a lot easier and quicker.
