Retro-Bit RDP - Portable Handheld Console V2.0: CORE Edition - Black - NES
Have the desire to play your original NES & SNES game cartridges while ON THE GO?! The Retro Duo Portable handheld console by Retro-Bit allows you to play your 16-bit, 8-bit, and even original Genesis cartridges both on your TV and on the road! With ...
I don't work for any of these companies, but we've been waiting so long for a portable SNES, I have to say how much I love this product, the RDP 2.0
I suggest using it to hold the SNES as well just don't tighten it too much
Sure, on paper, the system looks good because it has the capability of playing NES and SNES games but it doesn't matter when the product doesn't even work well.
It plays nintendo, super nintendo and gameboy if you have the right SNES cartridge
I found that the system is fully compatible with all my games and that the buttons feel as good as a SNES
I bought a super Mario world cartridge on Amazon to play in this controller (it's compatible!
He then saw me having a good time and started pulling out his old Mega Man, Super Mario Kart, etc games and was having a good time
I got this after doing my research and comparing all the portable SNES options that would let me continue my Super Mario RPG save from my bed
For example, my Super Mario Kart performances on 150cc would always go to waste because those black out moments always cost me the 1st place finishes.
I bought this retro handheld hoping for something adequate to play my original SNES cartridges (only a few select favorites like Donkey Kong County 1 & 2, Super Mario All-Stars, and Tetris Attack) off of my modern flat-panel TV's (which makes them look terrible) and around the house and occasionally on the go in palce of a 3DS or Game Boy Advance SP
It plays nintendo, super nintendo and gameboy if you have the right SNES cartridge
The button layout feels a little odd at first but it easy to adapt to quickly, and I have had no problem with a sticky D-Pad which I heard a lot of V1.0 units had
the display is very clear and looks just like it did back in the day when i had an actual super nintendo
The V2 has a better screenSome games doesn't work only few with my testit's a very good super nintendo portable for 80s people
it did not come with the retro controllers, just the controller adapter, which isn't an issue for me since I have my old Super Nintendo controllers
The button layout feels a little odd at first but it easy to adapt to quickly, and I have had no problem with a sticky D-Pad which I heard a lot of V1.0 units had
The rep was fast replying with my questions from email.when they sent me a new one the sound wasn't as great of quality as first one
The sound is a little goofy on some games - but that small detail doesnt bother me.
Fits nicely in my hands, the screen is bright and sharp and the sound is excellent as long as the game cartridge is in good condition
PErfect console, good sound, tried the AV out and works PERFECT!!!
The wavy lines are still there during gameplay, but very slight and easy to ignore.- Which leads to the next issue regarding the 4th unit
* I recommend never actually playing Shaq Fu; I only tried it to test compatibility.
I have heard that this unit is not compatible with some games, but we have tried about a dozen SNES and NES games so far and have not run into that issue yet.
Just to clarify something: This particular system is the Retro Duo Portable Core Unit
Now for the flaws:The unit feels bulky and more than a little awkward
I always wanted a portable system capable of playing SNES games
i chose this system over the supaboy or the yobo for the fact that this system can play nes and genesis games as well
My biggest gripe, this wonderful system's Achilles' Heel, if you will, is the cartridge slot located on top of the back side of the unit
Have not had any problem with it, so far plays all my 12 games, it is great to play all Nintendo games again in a portable game system.
Prior to it breaking, I posted a photo of me playing it on social media, many friends were interested in where I purchased it, unfortunately, I now can't recommend the system to any of the friends as I don't feel it is a quality product.
But because technology has gotten more advanced, they can shrink things down and shrink things down, and I don't necessarily think this is a good thing sometimes
The only bad thing I could say, you have to pay attention to the cartridge to not shake it when you play otherwise it crashes the console
The most positive thing about this deivce is that it's a much more ergonomic and attractive black design than the competing Hyperkin Supaboy and subsequent Supaboy
I have to admit I was even a little jealous of how cool this thing turned out!
I been wanting to play my old SNES and NES games ,but the best thing I can take it anywhere to play battery life is great up to 8hr of play time
I'm very impressed by this little machine, the screen is clear and the buttons feel good and are extremely responsive with seemingly no delay whatsoever
I had heard that the first version of the RDP had issues with dead pixels and buttons
Battery strong, light weight and av out, but a little bit hard direction button and not convenient L,R button.
The controller on the bulky body actually feels about right, and the buttons and D-pad are not stiff, like other devices like this.
, buttons feel great and it comes will all the connectors to make it work on the Television!
It's not there when the headphone jack is unplugged (worse with iPhone headphones instead of Beats), but still a product of this price shouldn't have huge flaws
Please make the cartridge slot a bit skinnier in the future if you can, otherwise fantastic product.
I don't work for any of these companies, but we've been waiting so long for a portable SNES, I have to say how much I love this product, the RDP 2.0
I hope Retro-Bit can use these lackluster reviews to improve their product for the next model they make.
It's a great product and will exceed your expectations, Thank you Retro-bit.
if you want a handheld SNES, I'd look around, but if you want to enjoy the games you grew up with like me, then just get yourself the original game console
Now the games no longer wobble and the system doesnt freeze
I tried over 60 SNES games including a Super Game Boy adapter and nothing, I repeat, NOTHING played
If you slightly shake it, it corrupts or glitches your game
My games keep erasing and the loose cartridge keeps resetting the system.
