Retro-Bit Retro Duo 2 in 1 Console System

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.

this little gem lets you play nes and s-nes games on one little machine. and when i mean little its little. doesnt take up much space as to have a nes and a s-nes next to each other. also there no worries on have to swaping wires around. i like the fact that it comes with a s-video cable along with the rca audio/video cables. s-video make the games look alot more clearer and sharper. the audio on the other hand can get just a tad bit scrachy but not enough to to annoy you. i use em on a surround sound system & it sounds just find to me. (might not even notice it if you hook em strate up to a tv or flatscreen tv) the controllers are in s-nes format with works just fine on the nes mode. and just incase you didnt read the spec's above it also plays japanese game's both nes & s-nes. this system is properly ventilated so there no over heatting issues what so ever. if you got alot of old nes games laying around as well as s-nes games this is the system for you if you want to go down memory lane. if you dont then you can just simply go to a thrift shop or a pawn shop & most likely you can get em for like doller a game for nes games or mabe 2-3 dollers a s-nes game. theres also alot of places on the net that you can buy these games from at dirt cheap prices. keep in mind that if you do decide to buy used or use your own games to play on this system that you will be carrying over the film (electronic dirt) thats still on thos game cartridges. luckly i ran into a tool thats also sold here on amazon called: Nes Snes N64 Security 3.8 mm Cartridge Opening Tool Bit. with this bit you are able to open thos old game cartridges & clean off the film that you might not wantting to go on you newly bought system. to me this is a grate buy if you want to take a trip back in videgamming old times.

La consola reproduce bien los juegos de snes, sin problemas, yo los he probado con juegos de importación USA y van bien, pero el tipo de salida de vídeo es ntsc así que en un tv pal me salía la imagen en blanco y negro (ojo hablo de juegos USA, no tengo juegos de la otra región PAL), pero lo conecté a un tv que sí acepta ntsc/pal y se ve la imagen correcta. Por lo demás cumple con mis expectativas, el enchufe también es tipo americano, pero le pones un adaptador y a jugar. Se agradece que de tamaño sea pequeña, además es compatible con nes/snes/ y con sega comprando un adaptador.

Works great..was a gift

Ótimo produto!

Está genial! Puedes jugar NES y SNES en la misma consola, los controles son cómodos y funcionan a la perfección. Ojalá tuviera mejor resolución pero es la mismas que las consolas originales.
