"Now your playing with power!" They said, and that's completely true! It's so far the only game console I know that can output two video signals together while playing (RF and Composite). This is the best retro game console you can get, its got a solid library of games and solid controllers which are really 'Nintendo Quality', they will not break with normal use, and they only few well known non-nintendo main controller which has this top build quality would be the Dual Shock 4 (V2) controller. Funnily the Nintendo Switch Joy Cons seem prove otherwise, due to the drifiting.
It does get warm when in use, but it doesn't make any noise, not even coil whine!
The huge amount of arcade games ported to this device is incredible, there are so many games you can play on this thing, be it unkown games or well known games such as ports from Atari! Due to this, I think it's one of the best consoles ever created.
The well known cartridge tilting allows you to get some very weird results on screen, you shouldn't do this though because it bad for the device. A lot of interesting technology was used in this device to make it do what it does, I recommend checking this out on the internet. People are still making NES roms.
I stacked the NES Mini Classic on top of it for a size comparison. As you can see the cartridge-in lid has been replaced by a new one, When I got this device the first time, it was missing this lid and had some problems on the inside, I had to fix the system to make it able to read catridges again which was fun, and I really like the large IC's inside the console!
Games
Super Mario Bros
There's something with this game which keeps letting me come back and play this game. It's one of these games where you don't even need a story to know what you are playing. It features many hidden passages, block and underwater levels and... Bowsers in castles! The interesting thing about Mario's movement, is that it was taken from Excitebike and modified for this game, this makes Mario's jump follow a fixed trajectory depending on his walk speed when jumping, but it still gives you (minimal) control in the air. It's the most iconic game of all time probably.
Super Mario Bros 3
This game adds even more power ups and control to Mario, and features a mini map where you can choose levels for a less linear gameplay. A lot of new enemies, powerups and a different story line and makes this game much better than the original one, however I find myself to comeback less often to this game. There's a lot more difficulty towards the end of the game.
