Pros

The design is almost identical to the original NES Classic Edition game console by Nintendo – From the outside, you almost can’t tell them apart.

Affordable price compared to the original NES Classic Edition – The original NES Classic Edition cost approx. $60. When it first was launched, the original version was discontinued quickly and its prices soared to approx. $250-$300. Later on, Nintendo decided to sell more units of this game console, but it was still more expensive than the replica.

500 different games built-in – The console already comes with hundreds of games built-in, including most of the titles that are available on the original NES Classic Edition.

The variety of games is amazing, and you will find many of the classics of that era.

You can find similar game consoles with 600-in-1 built-in games as well, but most of the additional games are usually rubbish.

Cables length – The wires supplied with this game console are relatively long compared to some other 8-bit replica game consoles that I reviewed in the past.

Cons

Doesn’t support HD resolution – Unlike the original Nintendo NES Classic Edition, this console doesn’t support HD resolution.

However, I did encounter a similar replica version that offers HD connection and looks much better compared to the RCA connection.

Mario Bros. 3 isn’t included – This game is available with the original Nintendo NES.

I did encounter some replica game consoles that offer this game, so if you care about a specific game – I advise you to check the full games list in advance.

Controller’s number of buttons – The controllers have only 2 action buttons and not 4, which affects the game-play experience with many games.

You can find a seller that supplies this console with 4-button controllers, and I recommend you get those.

Controllers quality – The controllers are not as accurate as I first thought, they are not exactly like the original NES controllers, and in my opinion, they are inferior compared to controllers of other replica game consoles I reviewed in the past (but you can replace them with other controllers so this isn’t a deal breaker).

No gun-controller support nor relevant gun-controller games are available on this console (such as “Duck Hunt”).

Some of the games are rubbish.
