Hyperkin RetroN 2 HD Gaming Console for NES/Super NES/Super Famicom(Space Black)

It works perfectly with the original Super Nintendo games, it also works perfectly with Famicom games using a Nintendo adapter (NES), it is quite convenient since it has audio, video and HDMI output. Is compatible also with super Gameboy adapter to play with Gameboy old school games

First of all, this comment is for playing games in Japan.It is different from the evaluation in the United States, so please use it as a reference only.I used "FC COMBO HDMI made by Columbus Circle" sold in Japan.I was playing Famicom and Super Famicom, but it broke.I don't use it because I have an original machine, but this FC COMBO was mainly used by my family and friends in the living room.I immediately searched for the same thing, but I could not find it in Japan, but I could find it in the United States far away.Hyperkin's products are very luxurious!Japanese consoles imitate old ones and look very cheap.Hyperkin's products are precisely made.The "H mark" on the right side of the front glows blue, and the atmosphere is very good.The body is covered with transparent skin, proving that there is no omission in the contents.The weight is heavier than the original machine, and it does not move easily during play.You don't have to freeze when you get excited!The appeal of this console is that it supports HDMI.To use it in Japan, you need a "Japanese conversion adapter for Famicom" in the NES slot.(For FC To NES 60 Pin To 72 Pin Game card cartridge Adapter Converter)The only unfortunate part is that you have to use different controllers for each NES and SNES game.It's very annoying that you can't play in common with one controller.Other than that, I like it very much.

Update for 2022/2023: Still using it, got the hd3 too. Still great.For the average person looking for a super nintendo on a flat panel t.v. this system is great. The nes side not so much. It works but has noticible input latency. The snes doesn't have that input latency problem. I noticed too that the controller feels improved over the gray scout controller the buttons are softer and feel extremely nice. My new favorite controller. I have the super nt as well and sometimes actually prefer playing on this unit cause I like the saturated colors. Image is sharp but not too sharp like an emulator. More like a real system on an old t.v. I have also tried it on my c.r.t. and though it works fine there is a slight flckering as if it's interlaced. If you are looking for a crt replacement system I would go with the superboy sfc. It looks and plays as good if not better then a real unit. The retron 2 hd is also not an emulator system like the retron 5. It's a clone system.

I had high Hope's for this product but it falls short. If you want to play your old Nes games best bet is to play them on original equipment. I have several games that will not work on this system. My zapper games just will not work correctly with this system, I have a crt tv and a.v. cables and nothing. The original system works just fine. Duck hunt, hogans alley, gotcha, operation wolf do not work. Tetris will not load, Neither will dragon warrior, bad dudes or dino riki. I thought my games were bad but it is this system that's bad. Hyperkin needs to include a list of games that will not work on this system or make a system that works. Also the games are hard to get in and out of the connector, talk about death grip I thought one of the games broke when I placed it in this dumpster fire of a system. Stay away from this thing!

Plug and play doesn't get any easier. I hooked up the HDMI connection (it also comes with composite cables if you want to use them) and I was up and running. It comes with 1 NES and 1 SNES controller with EXTRA LONG cables (8 or 10ft long!) They must be plugged in on the left to be used. There are ports for another controller for each on the right.The biggest problem you might have is configuration for your TV, but that has nothing to do with the unit.

This clone console is great! The Super Nintendo part is nearly perfect but the NES is not quite there, sound is off, color palette off, but it's not too bad, if you got original NES and Super Nintendo/Super Famicom carts and want an easy 2 in 1 solution this is a great choice, definitely better than a 40 year old NES that won't boot up the cart even with its short comings but definitely use OG controllers they included ones kinda suck.

Product arrived as described! What a great way updated to revisit these childhood games without the hassles and kinks that are sometimes present with the original hardware. Definitely going to be checking out their other products!

Not for me but still good
