Customer Review: Decent System
I chose this over the FC Twin because I heard better reports about its compatibility with several games that I have. It seems to be true; the only game I've had any trouble with was duck hunt, since this console only has connections for SNES controls. The compatibility is great, and I haven't had any trouble with SNES/SFC games (yep, it's compatible with American, Japanese, and reportedly European games!). Every NES game I've tried has run, but that's where I get into some nitpicky bits. Double Dragon 2 had some issues with the status info on the bottom of the page "scrolling" along when I went forward in the level. I think that was just a problem with the cartridge being dirty though. Also, on NES games, the sound leaves something to be desired. The volume is uneven, and it's "scratchy"-sounding. Compared to the actual NES I have, you definitely lose something. Also, the game slots were rather "snug" when I started using the console. I had to brace it against the floor with one hand while pulling on the game with the other. When the game popped out, I saw that several of the connector pins in the console had gotten bent, and had to bend them back into place (with a small screwdriver). So, I guess that while my experience wasn't perfect, I'm happy with my purchase. It lets me get back into my retro gaming awesomeness! I think it's worth it, despite minor problems.
