Old Skool CLASSIQ N HD Console Compatible with NES- Clone System Plays 8-bit game cartridges in HD

I got this since I wanted an NES, and after watching Rerez's video on it, I decided it looked cool and cheap enough. I am not disappointed. I plan to collect video games in the future, however at the moment, I only have one NES game, so this is based entirely on that, so this will be based on my copy of the Mario and Duck Hunt combo cart. First thing I noticed is Mario appears to be noticeably higher pitch than the original, but Duck Hunt seems fine. Because of that, I'm fairly certain that it's the fault of the cartridge so I'm not gonna deduct points for that, but if I figure what causes it I'll be sure to edit this. Aside from this, the two controllers it comes with- which cost TWENTY BUCKS- are really nice and less jagged than the original. Other than that, well...they're NES controllers, I don't know what you want me to say. As for video output, the composite looks eh but that's because composite generally is eh. But you bought this for the HDMI. An oh boy does it look CRISP. Not only are the colors brighter than composite, but the edges are so smooth looking and- jeez, it's just beautiful. Not AS crisp as the AVS for example, mind you, but considering the AVS is ~$180 and this is $40, it's worth the small compromise. And for those of you that like the darker and more rough look of older TVs, though I criticized composite for that, i that's your thing this thing makes it look almost indistinguishable. So even for classic looks, it gets an A+.All and all, this product is the kind of thing you'd expect to find for way more than $40. It does so much so very well, and for that I think this thing deserves 5 stars. If you're a fan of the NES like me but don't have one and don't wanna buy an expensive one, or even if you DO own one but want one that has HDMI, this product is DEFINITELY for you. I cannot emphasize this enough, highly recommended

Great speedy service, and awesome console to play NES with! Spent almost 3 hours trying it out, and it works great. Would totally recommend for any retro NES gamer!PROS: The package comes with its own controllers, but this will also allow the original NES controllers to be hooked up to it as well if you’re still used to the nostalgic feeling.CONS: Will not work with Duck Hunt or possibly any other NES gun related games. The controllers provided give just a tad bit of a delay, but with time, it can be gotten used to. The sound is a pitch higher, but nothing major.TIPS: Take care when inserting and pulling out cartridges as they are pretty snug. If playing on an HD widescreen, 16:9 ratio is recommended for game use. Reviews on YouTube have also shown that with a special attachment (not included in this package), SEGA Genesis games can be played with the same console.

This gaming console is absolutely fantastic! If you've been longing to relive the golden age of NES gaming but don’t want to break the bank on an original system, this is the perfect alternative. I’m beyond thrilled to dive back into the classic titles of my youth—they look incredible on my 1995 Sony CRT TV, just like I remember! And for those wondering… yes, the legendary Contra cheat code for 30 lives works like a charm. If you're a retro gaming enthusiast, don’t hesitate—grab this console now!

Unfortunately my Classiq N was broken when it arrived to me. The LED light in the N was rattling around in the console and chipping away at God knows what for God knows how long.But, I have played with it a bit, so it works. I'll give my pros and cons.Pros: Plays my games, no perceptible added input lag even on an LG tv (set to game mode) and bluetooth controllers.The stock controllers actually feel nice, if they had a wireless version I could go for that. They are just enough old style with a few ergonomics thrown in. Buttons feel fine enough, and the D-Pad is surprisingly nice and feels better than my 8bitdo controller's D-Pad.Cons: Minor. The colors are vaguely off (you wouldn't really know it unless you obsessively played the games years ago).Something sounds off about the audio but it isn't so bad that it is vomit inducing. In fact, it actually might sound like what you were used to if you played on a cheap CRT back in the day. Contra was surprisingly close for me.Feels cheap. Came broken. Could take it apart and maybe fix the LED but can't be bothered to.All in all, it could be a decent little system if you just want to reminisce about games that you used to play. Obviously you need to buy the games as this console plays cartridges. Mine doesn't have a death grip problem like many people have reported, but it is a bit finicky to remove the cart. For me it is a stopgap solution while I wait for an AVS, and then I will probably move it up to my office if I feel like being a hermit and playing NES games. I wouldn't recommend this system for an enthusiast, but that goes without saying.2 points off for the state of it when it arrived, otherwise I'd give it 4 or 5 stars for what it is.Update:It stopped working after about a week. The power switch just stopped clicking after less than a dozen presses. I threw the piece of garbage away and ordered a different one while I wait for my AVS. Games that worked before just stopped working, as well, before that.DO NOT BUY

Works like the original console!

The system plays the games beautifully. All of my NES games played in nice 720p. It ain't 1080p, but at such a cheep price I won't complain about that. I even have a few Famicom games, and it plays them perfectly with my FC to NES converter. But when I set it up I noticed that the rest button was broken. It still works, if you press it hard enough, but it sucks to have a broken park right out of the box. The reset button isn't that important, all things considered, but still I would prefer everything to work.
