I’ll start off by saying, I was not a huge gamer in my childhood. To those who were, they may have differing opinions on this console. I did get the opinions of several gaming enthusiasts for the sake of this review.
The console itself is lightweight and holds a charge pretty well. It comes with a portable carrying case with some additional materials to help with upkeep. It also contains a paper for troubleshooting and resetting the machine.
The screen provides vivid color and the buttons are adequate. One of the joysticks did pop off at the hand of a child, but popped right back on. The volume is nice and can be adjusted.
There are so many games included and they are sorted by which console they were originally released on. The games are easy to sift through and find. However, I will say, when on the main page and you’re hovering over the consoles, some characters Pop up that games are not necessarily on there. For example sack boy was displayed but there was no game.
Gameplay itself is pretty satisfactory, depending on the game you’re playing. For most of the older games they play very similarly to when they were originally released. Some of the newer games, assassin’s Creed circa 2009, for example, played a little laggy simply because it wasn’t powerful enough to run it. It. But it still got the point across. One thing I have found a little tricky is exiting an individual game back to the main menu. Sveral times I ended up just shutting off the machine or restarting it
All in all, I find this to be a fun, unique gift idea for anyone who enjoys vintage games or being nostalgic about the games you grew up with. It won’t play perfectly, but it will definitely remind you of playing those games and give you some satisfaction. Having included that many games in the console, it does seem worth The price point it’s at.

I bought the retro console for my son. He’s only 5 years old, and I think the games we used to play are better than today’s games for developing his coordination.
While today’s games encourage you to stay in the game and spend money on items, older games focus on iteratively progressing through levels. You have limited lives, and the game expects you to discover it for yourself. It teaches children that they have to iteratively improve to pass the level.
As for the console, the battery life is excellent. You can easily charge it with Type-C. It has sound and vibration features. It has thousands of games inside. You can play with headphones. It is suitable for playing with a joystick or buttons. It comes with thousands of games pre-installed. The box includes additional parts such as a carrying case and a protective screen glass. There is no adapter, but there is a cable. You can charge it with any cell phone adapter.

This is a really fun device for old-school gaming nostalgia. I’ve used a few other emulator devices similar to this one; I was initially struck by the layout on this device as being odd, because the right and left illuminated joysticks are off-center from each other. However, in playing it, I didn’t really notice the difference. There are thumb pads opposite each joystick, so I typically use a joystick with one thumb and a thumb pad with the other. The gaming device itself is comfortable to hold and use. The system’s interface is very easy to use and navigate. There are SO MANY old gaming systems and games included- it’s kind of mind biggling how many games are on-board. The gaming device comes with a carrying case and screen protectors to be applied. The 4 inch screen is gorgeous and vivid; however, keep in mind some of the old games are going to look a bit wonky in their rendering because they’re…old. We did try a different model device which rendered the graphics on the older games (for example, Tony Hawk 2) a bit clearer and crisper than on this device, so I’m going to deduct a star for that. Howevwr, the other device didn’t have the music in the background for Tony Hawk 2 (Playstation), and this device does, which if you love the game, you know the music is necessary! I’ve been having a blast playing old games, and my teenage son has enjoyed playing on it as well. There were soem glitches during game play with Assassin’s Creed (PSP), but it resolves within a few seconds and a green checkmark appears at the top of tje screen, Im guessing idnicating its been patched. This is a really fun device you can lose several hours on! Would be great for travel too.

Pros & Cons
The Highlights
Perfect Aspect Ratio: The 4:3 screen ensures games look authentic, not stretched.
Smooth Emulation: Handles everything up to PS1 with zero noticeable lag.
Modern Battery: I get a solid 6–8 hours of playtime on a single charge.
Premium Feel: Responsive D-pad and tactile buttons that don’t feel “mushy.”
The Trade-offs
Noisy Triggers: The shoulder buttons have a loud “click” that can be distracting.
Storage Warning: The included SD card is low quality

Poor quality and difficult to use, wouldn’t save game progress
