Customers say
Customers like the value, color scheme, and comfort of the video game console. For example, they mention it’s worth the price, the controller is much more comfortable, and the bumps on the back and the tapered edges increase the comfort. That said, some complain about the cable, sound quality, and ease of removal. Opinions are mixed on quality.

This Is Worth The Money, Trust Me!
I did a review of this over on YouTube via my DirtCat gaming channel and I must say that this system is perfect for playing NES games on it! Emulates the sound and gameplay perfectly! I ‘cheated’ on getting stereo sound out of my clone system by placing a composite splitter into the sound outlet so that way sound can be heard coming out of both speakers on your television or headset so if you want to go that route like I did go for it as you’ll need a Splitter Adapter 2 Female to 1 Male (very cheap here Amazon) for it to work. Can even do that with your original NES if you still have it or got one!Sad to say this is my second purchase as I accidentally fried my first system by accident for it was my own fault for doing so. Up before that it played everything like a champ!The only thing I wish that Hyperkin would do is give an HDMI option on this like their 5 in 1 system that is compatible with all external graphic cards for pixel perfect clarity.

For those who â¤ï¸ original NES games
Hubby and I have the traditional style mini NES we bought from Amazon and converted into a multi RetroPie console, but I wanted to also play my favorite original NES game from my childhood. I came across this NES retro console, and loved it… ð It’s small, and I love the colors. Perfect for people who want to play old NES games and don’t mind a NES console that’s different from the original one ð. Great price too! I highly recommend it! ðâ ï¸ NEED TO KNOW, just like the original Nintendo console, it doesn’t like dusty cartridges! So, make sure you blow the dust out of the game cartridge first! ð

Better than average NES clone console
As someone who is kind of obsessed with the NES, this will be a pretty in-depth review. I got this to replace an older version of the Retron1 that I got around 10 years ago. The previous unit worked well and I like to use it to test NES carts mostly (I buy and sell them) or just playing games on a CRT. I got this one because I like the color and the controller design and wanted to test this version out. What I found out is that its a different system on a chip than before, so the compatibility with some of the games is updated. Some of the sounds the system uses are not an exact match for the original NES, for example the coins and block hit sounds on Super Mario Bros 3 will sound just a bit different to those who are very familiar with the original. Castlevania III works with this console, which is a game that usually will not work on clone consoles. You can also play most Famicom games, with a pin converter, but certain games with custom chips such as Gradius II will not work correctly on this system. Here is a breakdown of pros and cons:PRO– works well, most NES games play fine- flash cart works (tested with Everdrive N8)- multi carts will work- carts insert and remove without too much force, does not get stuck- appealing design, controller- uses USB power cord, no more power brick- works best on CRT TV- affordable price tagCON– included controller cable length is too short, make sure to have another controller or extension ready- audio output has multiple odd issues, sounds are not 100% accurate, buzzing sound heard during many games, tried different cables etc.- Not 100% compatible with NES / Famicom library (probably around 95% compatible)- some games such as Castlevania III will have minor graphical glitches not present on an original consoleOVERALL: I would say this is worth the price and its a fun updated look to the older versions of the Retron1 AV NES clone consoles. Great for casual retro gamers, but don’t expect a high level of reference accuracy to an original NES. Enthusiasts should probably look for something nicer if they want 100% accuracy and compatibility.

Great NES clone console
I enjoyed this console it plays very well it light weight. And I can’t say enough about the controller. This controller solves an issue I have with the original NES controller it feel better but the cord is very short. I Love the color of the consol. It built of thin plastic but for the price it about the same as other console. It your playing on a modern lcd or plasma TV don’t forget to grab an upscaler over all if you’re looking for a clone console it amazing

Junk. No Sound, bad pin connector
Have to constantly load and reload to get games to work; most simply do not work. No sound. Box is light and resets if you touch it in the slightest. From the reviews, I thought this would at least get the job done and for a good price. The reviews may be misleading. This is a waste of money.

Better than expected
I picked this up when I found a copy of Dr Chaos and I couldnât be happier. Really surprised how quickly the games fire up. No issues of any kind so far. I really like the color scheme.

Cheaply made
It’s a cheap POS but will play your games. Most important things to note are that games go in, but they don’t always want to come out. Taking out the cartridges makes you feel like you have to be super gentle because the system is so fragile. I would also recommend not bumping it in the slightest, as your game will stop, and you’ll have to reset. Great price, just wish the unit was more solid and durable. I just feel like the things gonna break at any moment.

Pra quem quer diversão e custo benefÃcio é a melhor pedida. Só de pegar na mão, console e controle, você percebe a qualidade e o carinho com que foi construÃdo. Se você tem tv de tubo a imagem não perde em nada pro NES. O som realmente é um pouco diferente do original, mas nada que atrapalhe, a menos que você seja preciosista demais. Se você quer diversão pode comprar sem medo. Se quer um upgrade do NES procure a versão com HDMI. Todos os produtos hyperkin são de qualidade.

 TenÃa la esperanza q mÃnimo jalara, pero la verdad esq me sorprendio, pensé q serÃa de un plástico muy corriente y para nada, los controles se sienten masisos y los botones también se sienten bien, agarra los cartuchos al monento y sin problemas, una muy buena compra. Lo único malo esq nadamás trae el cable usb y no trae el cubito, pero pues le puse el de mi celular y listo.

We had an old original NES that finally kicked the bucket and this has been a more durable and reliable alternative to the original system. All of our games work well the first time, which is all you can ask.

Eu tinha um cartucho de Dynavision aqui que eu não jogava há uns 14 anos (porque meu videogame quebrou e fiquei só com o cartucho) e ai junto com um adaptador de cartucho de 60 pra 72 pinos, funcionou corretamente! agora posso relembrar agora nos meus 30 anos os jogos que eu jogava quando tinha 11. Excelente compra.
