It’s the best iteration so far. Some quirks though
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, we’ve seen the Flashback before, but now we have it in A) classic styling, B) with HDMI, and C) true wireless controllers. All these things make it great - and overall, 4 stars out of five. My only issues... First - WHY is the HDMI port on the side?? This was just horrible planning in my mind - and there’s no excuse. Others have complained about this, and while it’s not a dealbreaker, it is annoying. For something going for retro style, looks matter. So why have a cable sticking out of the side??? Second - for the same price, the Genesis Flashback has a cartridge slot. There’s really no reason they couldn’t have put one here. Boo.

Christmas gift for my father-in-law
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I bought this for my father-in-law for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! 120 games, wireless controllers and an HDMI connection? This is a very cool console. Plus, it's small enough to really throw in a bag and take with you on a trip. Came with everything you need to get started (HDMI cable included).

Blast from the Past!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical when I first spotted this at my local Best Buy. Picked it up and carried it around and then decided to be a kid again. Unboxing was easy and setup took less than a minute. I then lost track of time as I played title after title. Each one taking me back to the 5th grade. The ability to play a retro console on an HDMI TV made this magic possible. Thanks for that!! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a nostalgic trip down memory lane...you won’t be disappointed!!!

The many games provide hours of simple fun
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the game console for my wife who was recently diagnosed with early onset dementia. Playing the games not only provides her entertainment, but exercises her brain and helps her memory. She plays for hours at a time.

Old School Videogame System
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good old school system and has lots of games for Atari lovers to play. I guess only small downside is that it does not look like the old school system.
