Old Skool CLASSIQ N Console Compatible with NES - Black/Red Clone System

I have purchased this brand in the past, and remain a loyal and satisfied customer to their product.A/V output (cables imcluded)micro USB AC power supply (included)NES ports x 2 (includes 2 "Classiq N" gamepads)plays actual NES (NTSC) cartridgesA fantastic way to experience one of the greatest video game libraries of all time, on a budget.PROS: AFFORDABLE.Plays NES and supports original controllers and zappers, as well as third party controllers and gamepads.Stylish design, compact, with light-up logo power indicator display.CONS: FRAGILE construction. Its cheap, because it is manufactured with cost effeciency in mind.As with most NES clones, there WILL be some 3rd party title cartridges that may not run properly. This, however, has only happened with one such cartridge for me personally. (Two seperate copies of Pipe Dream [Bulletproof Software] refuse to display properly, however ran fine when tested on an original NES 'toaster' model)The 72-pin bridge really GRIPS the cartridges, so caution must be used when inserting or removing games.Other Points:Not an HDMI model, though this company has other models with the option available. I do not require it as a NESesity, therefore this model is just perfect for my meager gaming setup.To my ears, the audio output is just fine. I have my audio channel ran out from TV to AUX into a secondary speaker, and the chiptunes and synth BGM tracks sounds great to me.Display is also just fine. I have plugged this system into both a CRTV as well as a flat model LCD monitor, and both play fine...although the CRT looks better, as designed.My suggestion? If youre like me and just want an affordable solution to playing some killer games, then this Classiq N NES clone is a no-brainer.Game On, brothers & sisters

Plays all titles like the original. Problem is that it runs av (yellow, red, white “RCA jack”) to display the games. You sacrifice response time during gameplay if you intend to play in an HD TV. Most people dont own a 4:5 CRT (old school tv). Most are using modern 16:9 LED LCD or QLED tvs. The better the HD TV the worse the responsetime. Some newer tvs dont even have an input for component cables (red white yellow or crimson megenta green red white). I suggest gettingAV -> HDMI converter or plying on a CRT

I put it through it's paces after I got it . I must say for $25 I am very impressed, picture quality looks fantastic on the CRT I hooked it up to. Controllers are really nice, one of my favorite part of this console. Played Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and they all ran and looked great. The laser Zapper gun does work with this system as long as you have it hooked up to a CRT TV. Works great with Dunk Hunt and Hogan's AllyThere are a couple of drawbacks though, the sound quality is pretty muddled. You can definitely see this iswhere they cut corners to keep that price down. But the sound quality disappears as you get involved with the game but for $25 I can certainly live with it. It also suffers from the typical Clone death grip. Getting these cartridges out of the port is tough. But the more you use it begins to become easier.But all in all I'm extremely happy with this so far. I mean for $25 you can't go wrong.

Works great still have to do the ole blow the dust off of game first. Also works with game genie. I did notice it was hard to pull the game genie out but got it out fine. Thinking of buying a couple more in case this craps out.

Will it play your classic NES games? Yes! Is there a chance you feel like your game is stuck when trying to remove it? Also Yes! Heard about the death grip from newer consoles. People aren’t lying. If it was just for myself I would have kept it. Got 24 out of 25 games to play. But wanted kids to use it and no way can they change the cartridges themselves. I thought I was going to break the game or console trying to remove.

This thing was terrible. The first game I put in would not start up, I thought maybe the cartridge was defective. So I tried another, the second one didn't work right away but I did get it going after messing with it for a while, then the five or six I tried after wouldn't work. I know the games did work in my old NES system and there is no reason they shouldn't work now. The other thing was the 72 pin connector in the game system is so tight I was afraid I was going to break my games trying to get them out. I do not recommend this product to anyone. Pay a little more and do not waste your time and effort like I did.

Don't waste your money on buying the "name brand" consoles when you can get this one for dirt cheap and it works just as well. I got this console and one of the 100+ games-on-one cartridges and me and my 7yr old played it like crazy. Controller cords are plenty long, but we had the console on a high shelf by our TV and my son got a little to excited and accidentally pulled one of the cords hard, knocking the console onto the floor. It was actually at least the 2nd time it fell on the floor (probably 4ft onto hardwood) and broke where the controllers connect to the console. I'm planning to buy another one and just mount it more carefully...wireless controllers would have avoided my problem but I did get the whole set up for about $40.

The price is perfect for this product! Works just like the original, controller's are the best amongst the NES clones. My favorite feature is the console plays both game FORMATS, US/Canada and PAL!!! Some games are hard to find or too expensive. Most popular games have a PAL version originally sold overseas and are cheap to find on EBAY. I would pay for this unit, even if Nintendo sent me a brand new original NES console.
