    This was not a high quality item. Games are choppy. I did like that it had a cool Japanese nes Game translated to English, with an in-line fan made patch. That’s why it got two stars.

    Had to send mine back as the buttons were unresponsive, and one of the springs that hold the batteries in was broken. Cheap piece of junk.

    Bad quality. The screen was jumpy and there were only 2 or 3 good games on the system. But the fact that the screen jumped made it annoying to try to play any of them. Returned it.

    Don’t waste your money. Terrible quality. The screen was jumpy and gave me a headache. Didn’t matter which game I played they were all bad quality in my opinion.

    The gift was a major disappointment. I returned the item to the store. The graphics are pathetic and the product itself reminds me of a gaming device from the early80’s.
