FC Super Loader Console for NES Games Black
From Hyperkin

Bring back the retro Nintendo Entertainment System into your home! The original release of the NES system was plagued with problems: faulty 72-pin reader that gets dirty easily, the spring latch would not lock into place, and so forth. All you would see is flashing white/gray screens constantly. The FC Super Loader Game Console loads all game cartridges thru the top loader, which eliminates the faulty locking mechanism found in the NES system. The FC Super Loader Game Console utilized the same 7-pin controller connector found in the original NES system, so if you have found your old NES accessories in your garage or your closes, you can dust off the dirt and plug them into the FC Super Loader Game Console. The FC Super Loader Game Console includes two controllers, AV Cable and AC Adapter. The FC Super Loader Game Console is suitable for all age groups and easy to operate.

Better than the original NES in most departments4
Not wanting to shell out all the money an NES system costs these days, but still needing a reliable replacement system, I took a gamble on this third-party console.
I'm not at all disappointed. The system does have a few minor problems, such as the difficulty of inserting a cartridge, and the occasional audio skips (these are very minor). Also, the system does not come with the ray gun (for games such as Duck Hunt), although it is pictured with that hardware.
So, here's the positive: The picture is very clear, and the system does not require a cable cord for connecting to your TV. This system is also a top-loader, similar to the more durable Nintendo Famicom that was released in Japan. This means no more blowing into the front-loading cartridge chamber to clear the dust out, and no more jiggling an already-inseted cartridge to get a clear picture or to start the game properly. Also, the controllers the system comes with have a turbo feature, which is very useful for certain games (though if you don't want to use these controllers, the system also supports the original NES controllers, ray gun, and other accessories).
And let's not forget the cost. That's the one thing that drew me to this product, and I didn't sacrifice any considerable measure of quality for it. Unless you're looking for a 3rd party system to play Super Nintendo games on as well, I'd recommend this product over the RetroDuo any day. And I certainly wouldn't be caught dead buying a used 20-year old NES for 4x the cost of this 2006 system, either.

Excellent, fast shipping5
Works great, how ever it is a bit light, so be careful when inserting and taking cartridges out. Other than that, great!

Works perfectly!5
I'm very impressed with this - it has been a great replacement to our old original NES system which is constantly giving us problems (flashing screen, etc). This system works perfectly, is nice and small, and looks good. The only complaint I would have is that it is a little difficult to get the games in and out - I'm somewhat afraid that I might break it putting a game in. Other than that, it's great!
