A lot of people state that the FC Twin is a cheap console with little value. Which isn't completely true. For your money you get a device that plays both the NES and SNES games. It works great, I played it for hours and still play it at least once a week. I purchase this product because with my current NES being about 20+ years old the game reading wasn't very well. I missed the classics and some games I enjoyed when I was a kid. The FC Twin is made with thin plastic, my assumption this is to keep cost down and prices down. The controllers are dog bone controllers and feel like a lighter Super Nintendo Controller. One thing I didn't like about the controller is after small usage the controller port got stuck in the console and thus making the casing to separate from the port. Some super glue was able to fix that problem and haven't had any problems with it since. The colors for the games are little off, some being brighter than they appeared on the Nintendo; but I wouldn't say unbearably different. Overall, if you like the old school games, I would recommend it. I currently do not sell these items, so I am giving you my opinion from one gamer to another.Read full review
The device software functions perfectly, but I have some serious issues with the hardware. First off, it is very difficult to remove and insert SNES games. The SNES had an eject button for a reason, and the only way to remove a game from this thing is to grip the FC twin and yank it out forcefully - a royal pain in the ass and I doubt it's good for the cartridge. The NES games don't seem to have the same problem. Secondly, the controllers that came with it were absolute garbage. My parents thought it was THEIR fault Miss Pac-Man kept going up instead of left and right instead of down and so did I, until I tried to play Mario 3 on it. I am an old expert at the Run-And-Duck maneuver for sliding under objects, it should have been a piece of cake, but I was unable to do it at all. I decided to run a test and went into the basement, getting one of our old SNES controllers out of storage from when our old SNES system crapped out on us. Suddenly I was able to play every game as perfectly as before, and my parent's Miss Pac-Man scores greatly increased very suddenly. I will be locating the second old SNES controller from our original system as soon as I can. I think it is worthy of note that one of the controllers that came with the system was far worse than the other, pointing to a general product inconsistency. All in all, I would get it again for the price, but not the price plus shipping. Not quite worth it, I think I would have been better off forgetting the old Donkey Kong game and just getting a refurbished SNES.Read full review
Console and games worked just as expected, excellent value, and even better shipping. 10/10!

Only had this system a short while, but it seems to work with all of the regional games. I love the ability to combine the NES and SNES in one system with one set of controllers. The only issue is the games are hard to remove and a lot of force is necessary, but I guess that gives it a good connection with games. The games seems to load very quickly with ease and none of the issues associated with the original NES. Haven't tried other systems like this to make any reasonable comparisons.
The compact plastic design makes it easy to store. It can be rough trying to get the games back out of the system with no eject button. I recommend playing for 45 minutes then shutting it down (use a surge protector) after a hour of play you can smell a burnt wire smell coming from it from being warm. The controllers are great after they are broken in. I highly recommend.
