Works as advertised. Great way to revisit the games we all loved (what else was there?) back in the day. HDMI connection. Two controllers, it's great value for $$.

This system is awesome. Great for endless hours of NES AND SNES fun. Play many classic NES titles, Super Mario triliogy, Legend Zelda, Mega Man, Tutrles, etc. As well as SNES classic Super Mario World, A Link to the Past and Starfox. It uses the SNES style controllers, which does not allow use for the classic NES controller, or NES zapper. It is unable to play certain games: Battletoads for NES. The game hangs after level 2, though a cheat allows you to jump to level 3. Digger T. Rock: Legend of the Lost City plays title screen,but MANY in-game crashes and graphic glitches that, render it unplayable. For Duck Hunt NES Zapper cannot be plugged in. Does work with NES to SNES adapting cables that have accessory support. However, that NES Zapper only works with a CRT TV set. Maniac Mansion just doesn't play. Paperboy controller is not recognized. That's really it for NES which isn't too bad honestly. A much larger list for SNES. Most notably is Super Mario RPG, due to the NES PAL. Also ALL NES accessories DO NOT and CANNOT work unless NES to SNES adapter. That includes R.O.B. NES Zapper, Power Pad, NES Advantagem NES Max and Power Glove. Also the NES Game Genie does not. Also does not play Famicom games. Still, probably the best clone system of them all. Many clone systems struggle with Castlevania III. Works just fine on this. Star Fox is another many clones struggle with. Again not this one. Super Game Boy adapter works great. SNES game genie works great. Super Famicom games almost usually work. Retro-Bit RetroGEN Adapter Genesis to SNES Cartridge Adapter works great allowing Genesis games to play on i. System is not perfect. But much cheaper than getting a NES & SNES. Plays most games great.

This is a great little console. Its lightweight, doesn't take much space and is a sleek, good looking game system that gets the job done and done well. This in my opinion is the best clone system out there. The cartridge doors are firm and feel secure. The buttons to switch between off, 8bit and 16bit are very smooth and hassle free. The unit can be used with original SNES controllers, however I was pleasantly surprised at how good the 3.0 version's controllers feel and respond. Not to be confused with the controllers that come with the 2.0 version of the Retro Duo, those things are absolute garbage. As far as compatibility goes, I have yet to run into any majors issues. All the games I've played over the years of owning this system have been compatible but one, and this game was a ROM hack so that is to be expected. My only complaint with the Retro Duo is removing the games when you're done playing. The connector pins are very snug and make good contact with the game, increasing the chances of it playing correctly if the game is dirty and needs cleaned, however this makes if very difficult to remove them. If you are patience I recommend gently rocking the game side to side with one hand as you pull upwards and game will come out very easily. Do not be fooled by the people that tell you their game got destroyed or the pins ripped out because of how hard it was to remove. Take care of your games and do not just ripped them out of the system. Lastly nothing beats the classics on their original hardware, however if you're looking for a great replacement console or are looking to save the space and the hassle of switching from system to system then I definitely recommend this. I had an NES growing up as a kid but never a SNES. Having both in one is very nice and saves the cost of buying an original SNES by itself. I was able to pick this baby up at my local record store for about $45.

First the positive. The best thing I can say about this system is that it plays SNES games pretty close to perfectly. Even Super Mario RPG worked which seems to be pretty hit or miss on a lot of these clone systems so right off the bat this gets major props for SNES compatibility. The inclusion of S-video is a nice option but on my HDTV I actually thought it made games look slightly worse so unless you have an older TV set this probably isn't a big plus though it isn't like you have to use it so the inclusion of S-video isn't a minus either. Also, the unit is compatible with original SNES controllers so you can actually control games as they were intended. The included controllers felt a little cheap but I actually didn't use them so as far as I know they might be perfectly good. In regards to NES playback things get a little bit more dicey but I'd still call this the best clone that I've used for NES purposes. Once again, compatibility is great and even Castlevania III worked which as far as I know doesn't work on any other clone systems. Also, major props to Retro-Bit for doing a good job of mapping the buttons of the NES to the SNES controllers. Some other clones I've used map A and B on the NES controller to A and B on the SNES controller which just ends up being awkward. The Retro Duo Twin instead maps A and B to Y and B (the two left most buttons on the SNES controller) and this ends up being a much more natural feeling placement than other systems have. It's a nice little touch. Some of the NES games that I can confirm worked on my unit are: Super Mario (1,2, & 3), Castlevania III, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2 & 3), Super Dodge Ball, Super Tecmo Bowl, Rainbow Islands, StarTropics (1 & 2), Rad Racer, Contra, Super Contra, Zanac, Kirby's Adventure, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Goonies 2, and Robowarrior. Now for the negative which also mainly relates to the NES half of the unit. It's hard to describe but the NES sound just isn't "good". This unit doesn't seem to have the problem of other clones where the sound is off key but it is almost a little muffled/staticy. I wouldn't call it "bad" as some other reviews have but the problem is certainly there and I think it's just personal preference as to how much it will annoy you. A lot of music and sound seems to play back with no problem but certain sound effects and tunes seem to not play as clearly as they should. Very unusual problem. Keep in mind that this only seemed to be a problem with the NES sound as the SNES games sounded just right to me. Second, the color on the NES looks very faded. Things look like they're displaying in the correct color but it's all a bit lighter looking than it's supposed to be. This seemed to be a uniform problem and all of the games I tried displayed this issue. Also the construction of the unit itself feels a bit flimsy. Nothing was broken and everything seemed to work as it was intended but the unit just doesn't have a real sturdy feel to it. Still, it seems like as long as you take care of the unit it should hold up fine. Still, even with the negatives, I think this is a pretty good device. The SNES side is great and even with the problems present the NES side is fine for casual gaming. It definitely didn't stop me and a friend from having a few good games of Super Tecmo Bowl. It is also encouraging that this is the third hardware revision of this unit so it seems that Retro-Bit is actively trying to make improvements and it shows because I'd rate this above any of the other clones I've tried. With a little bit more work it seems like they'll have the NES side working perfectly and I wouldn't hesitate to give a potential future fourth revision a try especially considering the reasonable pricing on these things (another reason I won't knock it too much for the flimsy construction).

This console claims to play NES and SNES games and I've found it to do so well. I've essentially bought it so for a few reasons. I have a big CRT TV in my garage I'd like to play NES/SNES (my consoles are inside) and I'd love to preserve my original consoles. After doing a painful amount of research I had learned that the retro duo was the most compatible out of the current lineup of clones. They all seem to have a fatal flaw and in this case it had been said that the NES sound was a bit wacky. Almost like the sound is distorted from being over driven. I had actually bought the parts needed to "fix" the sound on the NES side. I'm not sure if later version 3.0 models we're revised but the sound for the NES sounds pretty clean and very close to the original. No mod needed. I'm more than satisfied with the NES performance. I actually pulled my apart and the NES on a chip is much different then the pictures I had seen online. It appears they have improved it although I did notice that Castlevania III no longer works. The SNES side is wonderful. You would be hard pressed to find irregularities on the SNES capability. You know what else is pretty cool about this? It uses SNES ports and this has a benefit to the NES side as well. Both the NES and SNES used the same gamepad controller chip. If you're handy with wiring you can pick up an NES and a SNES extension cable, cut them open, match the colors and splice it back together to make yourself an adapter to use an NES controller. The included controllers are not bad and can get you by but I'd recommend you round up the originals for sure. The game slots themselves tend to really hug the cartridges. Especially the NES. The fix that I ended up with was to just keep my game genie in the slot so I'm not wrecking the console itself. You should really make it a point to find the originals but this clone console is not bad! EDIT: I decided to do a side by side comparison of Super Mario Bros. and Kickle Cubicle. The Retro Duo is spot on. Sound and all. I also decided to create an NES to SNES adapter so that I could plug in an NES controller. Fortunately, the SNES gamepad has the same gamepad microcontroller as the NES except that it has two of them to drive the extra buttons. This means they are essentially the same. I purchased a Retro-Bit SNES 6-Feet Extension Cable and an NES extension cable also by retro-bit. The wire coloring differs from the authentic NES/SNES wiring. Here is how they are laid out: NES extension cable Pin # / Color 1 brown 2 orange 3 black 4 red 5 yellow 6 blue 7 green SNES extension cable Pin # / Color 1 green 2 blue 3 yellow 4 red 7 black Here is how you need to wire them together: SNES Side / NES Side green / yellow blue / orange yellow / black red / red black / brown That's all. Now you can use a NES controller to play your NES games with the retro duo. Source of NES/SNES pin layout: [...]

This was super easy to set up. And it works great. It could not have been better. The only game I have is the original Zelda that I have been wanting to play again for years and I finally got to start on it. Thank you so much and thank you for making it affordable for people like me with low income.

I had a retron Nintendo with the NES, SNES and SEGA, that I accidently spilled coffee on and broke. I did keep the controllers and all my games for a new one. I found this one. I don't play sega, so I didn't need the all three when purchasing a new system. This one is great value. I did find a game console that was identical to the one I had, but a beautiful color, teal. I opted for this one, despite being black, which is fine. I don't care for the av wires, but I am ok. I have to remember to go to the Av on the tv when I want to play. My son helped me get it hooked up and remind me of the av on the tv. I was grateful for him making sure it was hooked up right. I also didn't need the controllers from my previous game system. This system has controllers that I can utilize for NES and the SNES games, which is a totally awesome game changer for me. Also, it's a bit smaller than my previous game system, which is great! Living in a camper, I'm so glad it doesn't take up as much space. It's just about the same length as an NES cartridge.
