Mini version of my childhood

Great product and I had originally taken a great deal of time to write an outstanding positive review of it. Unfortunately, eBay's deeply flawed text screening, which sees profanity where there are none (as warnings pop up while I'm writing, robotically placing together end and beginning of perfectly innocent words to form a profanity out of thin air), prevented me from doing so, without informing me which particular words were the problem, which would have been none to any normal human being. I found that many of my reviews suffered the same fate and were in limbo this whole time due to their pathetic bot text screening. I'm not even sure if this text will be approved, as I'm not a bot, therefore, can't think like one.

In conclusion, excellent product and highly recommended, too bad I cannot elaborate on it to aid you, a potential customer to know why thanks to eBay's incompetence.

The games are NOT in English!

All these preloaded games are in JAPANESE. This isn’t mentioned anywhere in the listing. You can change the language settings but that only changes the menu, the games remain in Japanese. I wouldn’t have bought this had I of known in advance. I now have a Christmas gift for my brother that is useless. Read full review...

Bags of Fun!

For anyone who remembers the SNES then this is hours, days, weeks of time you're going to spend replaying your favourite games. I bought this for my sister, as she loves the Mario games.
The console is the Japanese version but if you look into "Hakchi" then you'll understand how it's now fully in English with over 250 games working. I have stuck to SNES titles, but with emulators you can even install other platform games (with varying degrees of success). There's also a cool mod using a USB OTG adaptor that allows you to boot from a USB drive (as the internal memory is very limited) and then the possibilities are limited only by what it can run. If you want a multi-platform emulator though, you're probably much better off with the Raspberry Pi option.
Honestly, you won't regret buying one of these.

One of the Greatest Consoles now in miniature Size

Great console, reason for the 4 stars is that i think Nintendo should of put more built in games on to the system and also include a power adapter in the box, another thought would have been to make the game cartridge slot accessible like the Sega flashback Console.Read full review...

Excellent value and service

After bidding on a few of these consoles and losing I was pleased to have waited for this one. Immaculate condition, exactly as advertised and with some extra games loaded on for good measure, excellent value. Can’t wait to give to my son at Christmas, he will love it with easy to play games that bring back memories of yesteryear for me. Really simple to use and navigate the menus complete with a save mode to re start games at any point which is a great addition to this miniaturised blast from the past. Great entry point for kids to the world of gaming.Read full review...

love the way this reproduces the old games exactly as they were

I bought this box of 30 games because I just wanted to play one of them (Contra 3).
I cant live my life without that game (sad I know).
I love the way that this box is a perfect replica of the old games that I remember.
If you are looking for a modern box of hi tech / super graphic games you will be disapionted.

However, if you are like me and just want your old crappy games back again in a modern format. That will last for a bit longer than the old clapped out kit you stil have in your loft, this is for you.

Great Console.

This is the Japanese version. The menu and UI text is in Japanese language.

Simple mod from online will change that to English.

Very rare item in the UK at the moment, I paid £76 cheaper then the high street.

Brings back some memories from back in the days of gaming. The classic games still bring joy meant to me.m and considering I never actually owned a SNES this is a great consolation.

For people who want retro gaming this is a must for any collector or nostalgic player.

Comes with 2 controllers so you and a friend could enjoy some classic battles on Street fighter

I would highly recommend this for even Sega lovers.

Sons Christmas present

Bought as a Christmas present for my son. Naturally, as responsible parents, we had to make sure it worked. It’s bloody brilliant! I feel like I’m 10 years old again! I’ve already sorted a place on the tv cabinet for it! Also teeny so won’t take up lots of space wherever you set it up.Read full review...

Good little system

Bought this for my sister and niece to play with as a way to introduce her to gaming (shes 6) she loves it, good selection of games even some my sister didnt know and she had the system first time around. Only annoying bit is that it didnt come with a plug but we cant have everything and it was easily solved.Read full review...

Old school gaming brought back to life

Extremely impressed with this! I grew up with the SNES so for me this was a great blast from the past.

Some of the games are not as great but I put that down to never having really played them before so they lose that nostalgia gold. Having gems like SMW and Link to the Past more than pay their own for the whole thing.

You can also connect it to your PC and with the help of some open-source tech mod the console to add in other SNES games you have, or even play games from NES / Sega Megadrive / GB etc, so can really become a hub of retro gaming.
