This is not a perfect handheld gaming device but for the price you can’t beat it. These are real Nintendo games on here and it brings back a great feeling of nostalgia.
Pros: Great games
Turbo buttons
Solid response time
Nice quality d pad and buttons
Cons: Poor viewing angle
A little glitchy in menu screens
No save states
No rewind feature
No ability to add additional games
No rechargeable battery
All in all this is a very solid handheld device. I have enjoyed it so much that I am giving a couple as Christmas gifts.

I bought it for tetris. It has a bunch of games on it. The main thing i dont like it is that it does not retain high score info, or have victory space shuttle...

This device should be nice for road trips with all the different games. The controls are a bit stiff however.

For the price it was very reasonable and worth it. Bought it for my nephew and son. They loved it and I was glad you didn’t have to pay for the games or download anything. All the games are already on there and it was ready to go. Great for plane rides kept them busy! And it only required batteries, no charging cords needed!

This is definitely a game for those who loved the of’s. I wish it had an option to save your place. Other than that, it is definitely the retro experience. Tetris has to be my favorite game for now. The games are more difficult than you would expect if you’re playing for the first time.

bought this and was surprised the amount of games it has. Buyer beware though. the description lists STREET FIGHTER, but it is not the Street Fighter we all know and love with Ken & Ryu. it's some other game with the same name. for the price, i can't complain.
