    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.

    It's compact and fun to bring out from time to time. Good for collectors. Works similar to a gameboy.

    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.
