Pros: -Plays NES games
-Allows NES game play over HDMI
-Can play PAL and NTSC
-Controllers are very comfortable
Cons: -Colors are off and makes games look weird
-Sound is odd sounding like its using a wrong codec
Overall Review: Unfortunately similar items on the market both out perform and are cheaper then this unit. If you are looking for a unit that can play NES cartridges and hookup by HDMI then this is a choice but I would suggest researching your options

FANTASTIC!, until the power port broke.2/18/2018 5:47:30 PM
Pros: Cheap!
This little thing is amazing.
It plays all of my original NES games as well as a 100+ in 1 game cart.
The setup and colors are great, HDMI and Composite can run at the same time.
Cons: The power port is extremely fragile.
I've used the system twice until the USB Micro port broke off while unplugging it.
I want to be very clear that I did not force the plug in or out, it just sorta popped off.
Overall Review: It seem that very little solder was used to seat the port, which makes me very sad to see such a great product so poorly made.
I bought a bunch of accessories and add-ons for this thing, and now I don't know what to do with it.
I haven't been able to get a hold of the manufacturer either to use the 1 year warranty.
+5 Eggs for the device itself. -3 Eggs for breaking so easily and not being able to contact support.
Forget this if you plan on using multicarts7/22/2017 5:49:57 PM
Pros: Small form factor, about the size of NES Classic, runs off USB, HDMI out so great picture, controller is nice and the cord is long.
Cons: Doesn't work with the retroUSB PowerPak, and honestly, if you're going to make a "modern" NES clone you might want to make sure it can work with multicarts. Cause you know a lot of us have them.
