-Plays most games and compatible with other adapters such as the Super Game Boy and RetroGen
by Shawn Jassal (3 out of 5 stars)

Pros:
-Long battery life.
-Plays most games and compatible with other adapters such as the Super Game Boy and RetroGen.
-HD compatible.
-Durable snap-on acrylic stand.
-Decent audio/video output.
-Screen is very easy to clean.

Cons:
-Too much wiggle room in cartridge slot: Accidentally shaking the system results in automatic reset and loss of data (Most major flaw in the system). Issue is very common in 46 pin SNES games and can also affect NES games and 62 pin SNES games to some extent. A 46 to 62 pin adapter is needed in the future along with a narrower cartridge slot.
-Unoriginal hardware, which results in incompatibility with certain games, none of which I own. Look on Wikipedia or other websites for said incompatible games.
-Poorly designed system and adapters (Severity of issues may vary, but issues are ranked from highest to lowest):
-Controller Adapter has a fragile design and is only compatible with SNES input devices, rendering devices such as R.O.B., Zapper, Power Pad, Power Glove, and N.E.S. Advantage useless (2nd most major issue).
-RetroPort N.E.S. Adapter is too large and does not always make a tight fit with the system. Modification is needed in order to secure a tighter fit.
-The ystem is too large to hold in your hands, so it's better off as a stationary console.
-Stiff controls.
-Slight video issue: Flickers like an old television during start-up.
-Reset command should have its own button and "Contrast" should be renamed to brightness.
-Misleading LED: When battery is low, the LED remains green, but it flashes.
-Screws provided with stand serve no purpose. The stand has pegs that prevent them from being put in.
-Limited headphone compatibility: Certain versions of Earbuds manufactured by Apple may or may not work.

The sound is not very great so i connected my headphones to it
by C.C. (5 out of 5 stars)

As soon as i received it; i place it to charge...once charged i placed an old SNES game in it and turned it on...i was playing my old mortal kombat game again after so many years sitting in storage...The sound is not very great so i connected my headphones to it...sounds ok besides listening also to some static/feedback but the game played great. At first nothing happened the first time i inserted the game but after trying it the second time...the game played fine...

Week 2 update: After using it for almost 2 weeks I troubleshooted some issues and resolved them...first of all if it does not play your game; take out the game cartridge and again insert it but gently and not all the way in....I had some issues where the game would not play but only after re-inserting the game gently and kinda halfway in...it now works...I had problems with some games but now that i do the same thing with cartridges; they all work great...i am a big fan of Donkey King Country 2 and it plays great!!!!

I love love love this product! Wanted one for long time & finally able to get one! Shipped fast w prime and all was in order , only complaint is w my Nes converter, something not right w it, sound chip is messed up or something, snes side everything is great, soon as use Nes side (as in converter) sound goes down , way down to can't hear and hear a crackle. I order their other retro bit snes to Nes converter, one they sell by itself, and it worked just fine on it but where not designed for the rdp and is flimsy so the nes converter in package out of box not working right but everything else is great and love it!!!

Works nice, When it works..
by Christopher (3 out of 5 stars)

I am going on my 3rd one of these now. I had purchased one for Christmas along with the Genesis adapter. Opened it a few days before to test and it was dead right out of the package. The screen just flashes and it makes a clicking noise and smells like somethings burning. I had ordered another and sent the old one back. The new one came and it works great however there are bad pixels in the screen. Now I am going on my third one hopefully it works or 3 strikes and there out and never again any Retro-Bit product. I would be very hesitant to recommend this due to the sketchiness of quality and I don't think most people would have the same patience that i have. When it works though it is very fun brings back a lot of childhood memories. Buttons are fairly responsive and the battery seems to hold up however it does not have a lot of use on it yet.

Hopefully the third one I get will actually work properly. I will update with more info once I get it.

Worth the price. fun to have an SNES on the go!
by Nick (5 out of 5 stars)

A little bulky, but what can you expect from a portable that plays Super Nintendo games? It works great with good picture and I love that when connected to a TV, it still plays on the littlescreen as well as the tv, great for others watching. And if you wanna know, the battery life is good too. Haven't tested it from full to dead but its long enough to make me happy!

what an amazing device!

WOW, what an amazing device!! I Loved it so much I ordered another. The RetroDuo portable system is a device that every person who has SNES and Sega games should purchase. I truly LOVE this device. Its so simple to use, just put your game cartridge in and presto your playing your favorite games from the 80's and 90's. I highly recommend this product.

No better clone systems than the RDP.
by Jerry Skids (5 out of 5 stars)

This is the best clone system out there! And it's portable!
- Directional buttons do not work very well on the system and the actual buttons are a little far apart for no particular reason. But they do come with clone controllers... Clone controllers are pretty damn good, but the directional buttons are far from perfect... HOWEVER, you can plug actual SNES controllers into the system, to make it feel exactly like a portable SNES.
- Battery life is around 8 hours, and only takes about 2 1/2 - 3 to charge up. This lasted me through most of the 10 day power outage of Hurricane Sandy.
- The NES adapter works almost perfectly...it is a bit bulky, but that adds to the awesomeness of the product. Retrobit also makes a very cheap Sega Genesis adapter called the RetroGEN Adapter, which works just as good as the NES adapter, but just remember, the buttons will be kinda weird.
- This works with the Super Everdrive and the PowerPak as well as Super Mario RPG (which the other systems do not)
- Stand is a bit flimsy and doesn't really stand on it's own, but you can DIY a little bit to make it more sturdy.
- You can plug the RDP into the television if you wanna use it as a home system, plugged in. Picture is very good!
- I've played the Supaboy and the FC-16 Go and this is the BEST portable system you will find with the longest battery life.

Fun toy
by Corey James (4 out of 5 stars)

It would get a fifth star but it reset my almost completed Super Mario World cartridge. Other than the one reset it has worked really well. It has pretty good battery life, video, and audio. If you are retro gaming nerd and are looking to just have fun with your old SNES cartridges then it is exactly what you are looking for.

Perfect Gift for Classic Gamers
by Courtney H. (5 out of 5 stars)

Love this, love this, love this. I wish this had been invented when I was younger because I would have loved to take my super nintendo games with me everywhere. It's great that you can connect it you your tv, and that there are options to plug in two controllers. Perfect for the nostalgic gamer who happens to have older games around.
