Summary:

The brand: Nintendo
The model: Mini Famicom


The pros:

  • Amazing design, that took it’s inspiration from the Nintendo NES Classic.
  • Compact compared to other replica game 8-bit consoles.
  • Good built quality and the materials are identical to the original Famicom (this is noticeable when holding the games controllers).
  • Long wires for the controllers & AV cable (this wasn’t the case with similar consoles).
  • Comes with 400 built-in games, among them are many classics such as Super-Mario, Contra, Pac-Man etc.

The cons:

  • Video resolution is not HD, like it was done with the Nintendo NES Classic.
  • The Mini Famicon doesn’t include all the games that are offered in the Nintendo NES classic (for example – “Super Mario Bros 3”).
  • The 2 mini controllers supplied with this console offer only 2 buttons (and not 4 buttons, what are requires in some games), and are less convenient than the normal size controllers.
  • Some of the built-in games require a gun (for example “Duck Hunt”), which is not supplied with the original package, and it is unclear how to get one. In addition, the console is missing a designated port for a gun (though you might be able to connect a gun to the controllers port).
  • Some of the games offered are really bad / boring / cheap versions of well known games, and it was better if the emphasis here was on the quality and not the quantity of the games.
