a Retrocon NES console :clap: Ordered from liksang

At first i though this cant be my nes, the package is far too small !
Once i opened the brown box, i found another box almost half the size

Another shot outside the box

In the setup....

2 pads, very nice feel and can be used easily. 6 buttons, the usual A + B, above them are AA + BB which are autofire, then 2 shoulder buttons, L=A and R=B.
A European AC 9v adapter, this is the 2 pin version which was easy to get past with a shaving adapter plug Wink

I also tried this with a PAL AC-DC multi-volt adapter and it worked a treat.
A AV composite lead
and last but not least the console itself.

As you can see the pads are connected with a 7 pin serial rather than the unusual original NES plug, which eliminates any chance of using my old nes pads or gun with duck hunt Sad

Here is a shot with a cart inserted.

I couldnt believe the size of this thing !
To get a feel have a look at the comparisons.

When i tried this out it felt and played just like my original NES, all the childhood memories came flooding back.
If i didnt have work tonight im sure ill be spending the evening on this with the projector :thumbs:
all in all this is an amazing remake of the classic nes and i would recommend any one with a heart for classics or to replace your broken console to get one.
Later ill be looking at how to connect a original pad to it :thumbs:
