Worked great.
This is a pretty decent little console. I feel the bad reviews *might* be from those who clearly set very high expectations from this manufacturer. Which I can understand.Things I’ve noticed during some heavy testing:-Some audio comes out slightly altered (IE: Konami pause sound effect is softer than it normally sounds), but…so far…all of the music in the games I’ve played match the original sound w/o issue, which was my biggest worry.-For others that have pointed out the “pink” colors in some skin tones, yes I’ve seen that too. It seems any character asset that was originally an off-white/beige color now looks more pink. It’s not terrible for me, but it is noticeable and will bother those who do not have the tolerance for such a trade-off. Which, again, I understand.-Build quality for the console & controller are very good, though I did notice a very minor bit of lag when pressing the “A” button. Again, not horrible, but still noticeable. I tested the original NES controller to see if it the lag input occurred there, which it did. So, it’s something in the console registering the lag…it really could just be the fact that the console’s technical priority is making the sure games run in 720p HD. Thus, now 720p HD selling point becomes both a blessing & a curse. The NES games looked really nice, but damn that very slight “A” button lag.SIDE NOTE: For anybody who owns that 150-1 Gaming Cartridge, it’ll work just fine!-If you’re playing this on a huge HD TV (mine is 55″), definitely play this on 4:3 as 16:9 allows more real estate, but stretches things out too poorly for my eyes.-For those who complained about the difficulty on removing the cartridge, I didn’t initially have that issue. But, after trying about 6 games and inserting them a little more forcefully, that was when removing the cartridge was more challenging. So, please make sure you do not insert the cartridge too hard into the slot. The quality of those pins in the console are no joke. The harder you press the cartridge in, the more difficult it’ll be to remove it. The cartridge does not need to be pressed so forcefully for the console to recognize the game. I do hope that helps!This console is good, but it can be a lot better. Hyperkin really should work on fine-tuning the color palette transitions & audio more, plus the slight controller lag as I feel this console was a little rushed during development due to the NES Classic madness. Hyperkin was onto something really good here, especially for those who just cannot pay $200+ for other higher-end console builds.If Hyperkin creates an SNES version of this, they have their work cutout for them…

Worked great. I bought it for a coworker’s children. It was their first video game system. They loved it and watching them blow on the cartridges brought back memories.
Yes! Badass! Totally worth it.
This thing is most likely a better option than a NES original console, it seems to work better, yes the games fit a little tight but its not horrible. Theres a very slight color difference, on most games you will hardly be able to notice, and sounds aren’t quite as crisp as the original. Overall though its hardly noticeable. For the price, build, output quality its a good deal that I’d recommend. The controller is great too, I actually think its more comfortable than the original NES controllers, the angled corners are a better design than the originals. I recommend this Retron HD for everyone, except those oldschool purists that have a trained ear from playing these games as a kid, to me though the very small differences aren’t worth discouraging people from buying this option.
This system is all you’ve been waiting for! Playing all your old NES cartridges or get the one I did! It has 329 classic titles! Super Mario 1 thru 3, Excitebike, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Legend of Zelda, etc.! AMAZING quality system! Came with everything I needed in the box, easy to set up and even easier to use!! Buy it already!!
Hyperkin makes a light gun for duck hunt and recommends their console. There was nothing special with how this worked versus the other emulator I purchased. The Emulator I have does NES, SNES and Genesis. The hyperkin gun is not very good but works the same with either console.
Easy setup and works just like an actual nes. Would recommend.
Love playing my NES games but the old toasters are not reliable. Watch a lot of YouTube videos. The color is a little off and sound is not as good as a Nintendo NES is. The pins are tight but for the price it works great. If you like different games I would tell you to try the retron 5.
Perfect for those looking for NES replacement and to play it on original CRT television!I used the multicart that bought from Aliexpress, and it works perfectly–NES zapper also works fine.
