"Console works great for playing original SNES games and original controllers."
"Its pretty awesome, my only complaint is that the controllers were a little.. off."

My experience was that most popular games worked - bar a select few that never work even when I tried different cartridges from different production batches. If you're unlucky and got a console that was produced earlier in the Retron 5's lifetime then odds are your board is a 1.0 and the 1.2 updates will simply not work on your console therefore rendering any and all updates in the future null."
"As a word of warning, the controller that arrived was dead on arrival, the analog nub is incredibly messed up. You can change the controller settings for every emulated system so you can potentially use a SNES controller for everything like I am currently doing, some with options for Turbo controls."
"After nearly two months of silence and broken promises from the manufacturer Hyperkin regarding the release date ("Retron 5 will be released within the next 30 days" - Marketing Rep at MGC 2014, April 11th 2014), I finally received my Retron 5 from Amazon on June 8th, two days after the official release date. I took the cartridge out and looked inside the system's slot, and to my horror, I saw the pin connectors inside the system had not only been bent and misshapen beyond repair, but two of the pins themselves had been pulled out. I have had it for 2 weeks now (today is the 27th of June, 2014), and have only had time to play through one SNES game to completion (Illusion of Gaia), and test out a handful of NES/Genesis games to make sure this unit works fine--surprise surprise, the NES slot is starting to show signs of pin connector wear AGAIN. I have made sure to take every precaution recommended by fellow Retron 5 owners when it comes to removing cartridges (lift from one corner & remove), and I've gotten to the point of checking the NES slot each time I remove a game to make sure it's okay. It's been two weeks since I originally have had the problem, and other owners are chiming in with the same damaged pin connector problem in the NES slot. I was getting tired of using my Retron 5 in paranoia, checking the NES slot after each cartridge removal. I told him of my experience with the console & wanted to know if there was a set-in-stone recommended way to remove NES cartridges. They're only seeing the misshapen/popped pin issue with the mass produced consoles, NOT the beta units. Checking the pins again, I noticed now there were two more pins popping up. A fellow Retron 5 owner with my exact problem had theorized a week earlier on the Hyperkin Facebook page that the various sizes and thickness of NES cart PCBs could be a factor to why the Retron 5's NES slot pins were getting destroyed. With the product developer telling me they are possibly looking at a hardware revision with a looser grip & better pins, I cannot recommend the Retron 5 as it stands right now."
"The emulation is top notch and cheats/savestates are amazing for any aging gamer happy to just beat those old games from childhood."
Even as 32-bit systems tried to steal the show, the Super Nintendo proved that gaming genius was about more than technology: it's just about fun. 16-bit Core Video Game Console.

"Works really well and comes complete with two controllers as stated."
"The console works perfectly!"
"I contacted seller and they said they would send me a new cord but I have yet to see it."
"Works excellent and playing it now!"
"love the nostalgia, it brings back tons of old games to mind."
"I received my snes on Friday and got everything for it, including the controller, the cables, and a free game. All the games would have multiple problems, bugs, and glitches, which I thought it was the cartridge for being dirty. When I bought this console, Peara's Premium Products specifically told me that it was fully functional and showed SMALL signs of wear."

"Came in pristine condition!"
"The game cartridge was in pristine condition, and the contacts had been cleaned very well."
"Super Mario World features a world map that is an upgraded version of the one introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3."
"Fantastic game-but I knew that, I played it when it first came out-I am so glad Amazon is selling the classic nintendo games, I really miss playing them."
"You definitely need this game in your video game library!"
"I was able to retain the save data by attaching a 2nd battery to the cartridge before replacing the original."
"I was skeptical at first but then when it arrived I was amazed."

In the middle, inside the pocket is another mesh pouch that handily stores 2 six feet extension cables (I'm sure it can probably handle 10 feet as well but I haven't tried)."
"A lot of the cheaper cases on here that display the NES with controllers in it, make you cut out the inner foam to form your own mold."
"It's well contracted with protective innards to make sure your NES Classic doesn't bang around when in the car or on a plane."
"Very nice case and good construction as expected from RDS. As an owner of this and the NES mini version I can say that they first one was way better, the pouch to hold the HDMI cable needs the cable to be folded in a very specific way, and it can only hold that, the power cable is supposed to be on the top mesh pocket along with the controllers, the controllers are not as secure as they were on the NES one."
"This case very nicely holds the console, 2 controllers and all the extra wires!"
"The case came as advertised and makes the portability of my mini NES Classic Edition too easy."
"i guess i forgot how small the NES classic mini is."
"Love this case my nes classic fits perfectly and it's very well protected and safe love how it's very snuggle in there."
