Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The games are very nice and even when most of them are in japanese, some others are in english. It can be hacked to add more games and an english language user interface.

Only complaint is my god the controllers are small. It looks cool and sliding the controllers into the housing for storage is a nice touch. It also has a built in 2nd controller for 2 players.

It always reminds me the family and childhood friends. It brings me my old fond memory just by looking at it. Its an awesome thing to see.

Console is well made and true to original, other than obviously being shrunken down. The emulation is near perfect, a far cry fom the horror that is the nintendo virtual console. It uses a micro usb to power the console which only comes with the cable... Read More

Supremely moddable, fun to use, and even kind of cute. Better than the new classic! What is not to like? Just as modifiable and a fun conversation piece. Met my expectations, much better than we expected.

Cons

Small size also compromises the accuracy of the d-pad. Not only are the cords short but they come out the back which makes the distance even shorter. The cord then connects to the controller at the side which feels awkward.

Quality

The good: this is a very well-made and sturdy console.

This machine is great plays all of the japanese famicon classics plus i hacked it with emulators and now have over 740 classic ... Read More

Unfortunately this means the controllers are tiny and hard to hold for adult hands.

Plus the wires are positioned awkwardly that they will constantly pressure your hand when you are holding the controllers.

Price

Overall id definitely buy this again and for 100$ its already been well worth it.

I like mine a lot, and for $100 these are worth imo.

It’s like a $60 joke nintendo played on us.

Paying $60 for this versus up to $250 for the american version is a no brainer.

Shipping

I have to say that the product met my expectations, arrived sooner than it was supposed to and was really new.

There emails will also bounce and they will ship it some were else.

Packaging/appearance

Package came clean and work really good

Well, i am stocking this console inside original box into my nostalgia game collection.

Competitiveness

Interface is way better than nes mini's way more colors, more cute, and no need for japanese knowledge to move around.

I especially appreciate titles like castlevania using the famicom-disk system version, which really gives you the digital defin... Read More

The controllers are hard wired, as opposed to nes classic where they are detachable.

Save your money and buy this mini famicom instead of the nes classic
