I played the normal systems growing up: SNES, Sega, PS1, N64, but I am far from a “gamer”, and I’m the furthest from a tech guru. I wanted a system I could pick up and play the favorite games of my childhood. This fits the bill perfectly. I didn’t have to do any fancy setup or go through complicated menus. I was able to easily navigate the menu and found that nearly all of my favorite games were already on the device. I got the 128gb card (SanDisk, heck yeah), but wish I would have sprang for the 256gb card. There were two games that weren’t on the device that I really wanted, but I was able to find the games online and put it on the SD card. No one is more surprised than me that I was able to do it, and that it was so simple (thanks ChatGPT). I would highly recommend getting the grip that the game slides into. It makes playing so much more comfortable, especially games that require the joysticks. I’ve been playing several of my favorites from N64, SNES, and PS1, and although there are some little quirks on some of the N64 games, it’s nothing that keeps me from happily playing for hours.
All that to say that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one of these tomorrow, and have recommended this site in particular to others to get their own due to the OS and game card. It still baffles me how it’s even possible to have a handheld system with all these games already on it for this price. It’s amazing. I haven’t played video games in 20 years, but now I’m picking this up every day, even if it’s for 15 minutes, to run through a few levels of Super Mario World.
Get one, you’ll love it.
