Alright, so, I was in a local chain called Gameforce a few months back, and I spotted a Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt NES cartridge, feeling a huge wave of nostalgia, I bought it, and an FC Twin, a NES/SNES combo unit, and here is my review of it.
Build Quality:
Actually fairly decent, I was expecting it to be a piece of crap, but, while rather light, it is a solid unit, not cheap plastic, although, the holes drilled for the AV Inputs on the back are a bit off-center and unnecessarily huge,and they misspelled DC Input on it, (DC Intput). The controllers are actually copies of the SNES dogbone style controller, and use the same connector, I imagine these are SNES compatible, and they are fairly well built too.
Actual Quality:
I don't own a TV myself, I use a composite to vga converter box made by hyperkin, which this unit seems to hate with a burning passion, because I hooked it up, and turned it on, and there is graphical corruption, the sound plays just fine, I suspect this issue is because the unit is outputting a resolution that either the converter box or my monitor doesn't like, it does work with real tvs, however
Final Verdict:
When this works, it is a joy, I always hated using emulators, and while this is still not the real deal, it is a step up from emulation.
Think of it as using a fleshlight instead of your hand, it's more realistic, but it's still not quite as good as the real thing.
