I used to watch these videos as a kid. Cannot believe time has flown this much. I’m 22 now and I cannot believe your still going after all these years.

@pieterjan999 14 лет назад

Good review! I keep watching your channel for all of the rare/exotic hardware you seem to get and review. Keep it up!

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 14 лет назад

Very nice lil system review here John, your videos never cease to amaze me on what consoles you find and review on here. I do like the design of this. = )

@wesgrosscustoms 14 лет назад

awesome review john! your videos are always great man!

@NicoPlaysIndies 14 лет назад

Great review as usual

@OneUponADime 11 лет назад

Officially hooked on these vids.

@TheMetroidMurderer 14 лет назад

Awesome video John I need to start getting more clones for my collection.

@Boom2k5 14 лет назад

Awsome! :D looks so cool ^_^ keep the videos and try to do a live show again because its really fun to see the live chat and you answering them :).

@gamerculebra 14 лет назад

Thanks for info. Didn't know they made this. Awesome video

@fmdof 14 лет назад

great review. i've had a set of those messiah wireless controllers since 03' , complete in the lunchbox. and it's cool to see someone else has a set. i never really use them much though, i like my nes max the best.

@Gamester81 14 лет назад

@dave4shmups No I don't have any issues with most NES games. Some of them just don't work, but I don't think it's due to a clean connector issue.

@crazedlink 13 лет назад

I just ordered one this morning. I can't wait to start importing Famicom games

@DlNKYDANA 14 лет назад

That Advantage Controller looks awesome! I want to get the system solely for that. Very cool. I'm sure I'll end up getting this one of these days.

@dodgecoronet68 12 лет назад

A note about them turbo buttons: Those things are designed for games that keep you mashing the buttons. The turbo function of all these aftermarket controllers is to "flash" the button signal so you keep it pressed and the turbo function gives the console the effect of you pressing the button repeatedly. The turbo knobs on the Nes Advantage-like controller (and on the original one too) determine the frequency in which the button signal is flashed. They're not supposed to alter the gameplay.

@PiercedJedi 11 лет назад

This is the clone I would actually like to own, thanks for the review!

@TipsterLIVE 10 лет назад

This was the first NES clone I ever bought and it's a great one to own. I love how it plays famicom games. I use it to play all my famicom games.

@THEKLEVER187 9 лет назад

Where can I buy it ?

@TipsterLIVE 9 лет назад

KLEVA DAGREAT They are hard to find now that the company went out of business. There are still some on Amazon occasionally.

@maxsterling619 14 лет назад

The rex works better than I thought it would. Thanks for showing us. I'm working on the remix now and I want to re-record the lyrics for clearity.

@romancingtheimpulse8380 5 лет назад

Great review 👍😀

@Individuo80 11 лет назад

I'd be interested if American cartridges were top-loading too. I have so many carts with loose cards inside, which only work on a NES-101.

@madpierrot92 14 лет назад

just pointing something out: the audio output is dual mono, so if you have good stereo or surround sound it won't sound like it's only in your left ear.

@wildsmiley 10 лет назад

Castlevania III won't work? Dammit. Why can't the 3% of NES games that don't work be crappy stuff like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Back To The Future or Deadly Towers? Castlevania III is one of my absolute favorite NES games. Oh well.

@unknownstuntman3224 9 лет назад

wildsmiley Ouch Deadly Towers is actually one of my favs and I also really liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I did dislike back to the future though.

@GatorRay 9 лет назад

wildsmiley The famicom version is more forgiving. Remember in order to play Castlevania 3 without frustration without save states you need the Help Me code. But yeah I will agree it does suck

@andyflange 11 лет назад

not sure on the US consoles but the PAL (UK) console had an RF (or AUX) port on the back and then the yellow (composite video) and white (phono audio - mono) as said in the video the NES produced sound in mono so if there is a system with red/white chances are it's still mono

@icebenot21 Год назад

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement ac/dc adapter for this in 2023? I can't find jack. Want to make sure I don't kill the system with the wrong one.

@rattoothintertainment8480 5 лет назад

I just want to know one thing, can you use use light gun and play duck hunt on that thing?

@kanocode 13 лет назад

you remind me of buffalo bob or was it buffalo bill? you still kick ass man, love the vids.

@jaykoerner 8 лет назад

really old vid i know but how is this compatible with the famicom disk system? i dont see anywhere to but a Famicom floppy disk nor the expansion port to connect it.

@rmc310 11 лет назад

you got an amazing console colection.

@Kafei2006 12 лет назад

On the topic of RGB, it's relatively easy to understand. In a RGB cable, the different colours that make the image are carried by different wires (Red, Blue and Green) whereas in a composite cable, the colours are mixed together and travel together in the same wire (the yellow RCA cable). RGB has this advantage over composite that it gives out better defined colours and a less murky picture in general as a result. Read the wikipedia articles on composite and RGB video for more info on the topic

@carrymybagsbuddy 10 лет назад

good stuff man!

@elcarohw 14 лет назад

cheers nice video i own 2 of these bought them back a few years ago witht he wireless controller this is the best nes clone system on the market hands down cheers bro big thumbs up !!!!!!

@Smandii 12 лет назад

i love you gamester81

@Kytseo 14 лет назад

does the second controller have a microphone like the second one the famicom has?

@Mega1mpact 14 лет назад

I have a nes and a snes both original machines (not clones). But is there anything like the r4ds etc for the nes / snes?

@DGneoseeker1 11 лет назад

So what exactly does a "slow" button do on a turbo controller? I've never seen one of those.

@Caztro72 14 лет назад

I own a Generation Nex and I've only had one complaint. It seems that the audio on the system has a little "feedback" buzz whenever I play a game. My FC Twin has no problem with audio. But I seem to only encounter this slight "buzz" with the audio on Generation Nex. Have you noticed this phenomenon?

@something2424 12 лет назад

I'm looking for an efficent, and reliable NES clone to play my NES collection on (since my NES is fighting me more and more). but I have no idea where to start. any sugestions?

@SourPatchDaryl 12 лет назад

Found one of these at savers (like a goodwill) for ten bucks no controller or wires but had to get it. now I know what it is thank you

@shroyerdave 14 лет назад

Wow that looks really slim, and I like the fact that is a front loader. I have the Retro Duo now but I was kinda curious if they have any front loading Super Nintendo clones as thats currently my favorite system. I actually just got the Massiah wireless Super Nintendo controllers with the lunch box and dog tag thing and they work really well. You're right about the directional pad though.

@MaximumRD 14 лет назад

I have only the handheld FC mobile II. I have no NES compatible console though. I like the original of course BUT I hate the toaster design / reliability. WOULD YOU recommend ANY NES clone? I want the composite out and good compatibility. Also would be nice to use the NES PowerPak from Retrozone.

@aljr357 8 лет назад

Supermario brothers 3 is definitely my favourite game on the nes for sure.

@AbePacko12ok 14 лет назад

What does the slow button do, other than be annoying at times? I have a PS2 modded controller, it's as big as an XBOX 360 controller, and I don't see the point in it. please respond.

@zackri 12 лет назад

I had a NEX, AND the wireless controllers, about two weeks after i got them the wireless stopped working completely.

@PrinceDavid 14 лет назад

I always wanted one of these, I wish I didn't hold back on buying one in the past.

@GatorRay 9 лет назад

he "d-pad" on the Wireless generation NEX controller looks like the one for the regular Retron 5 controller

@Ace9921 14 лет назад

@MrGoomba909 - The reason why is because of one pin on the cartridge slot being disconnected from the NOAC. This is because the NOAC has no trace on the motherboard for the extra signal needed by Castlevania III. Only one modern Famiclone has this signal: the RetroDuo, however, its sound output is EXTREMELY distorted due to 2 missing parts on the NES sound circuit. That is fixable, but not the missing trace for the extra signal needed by Castlevania III.

@jackatejill 12 лет назад

hey jon. thanks for sharing. but if by FamiCom is it Snses compatible aswell? thanks again

@thehumansilversurfer 14 лет назад

Good video ,i might consider buying one.

@themadhacker2 12 лет назад

@ravenrage07 There was an extra audio chip in the cartridge that the majority of clones are not compatible with.

@Zagroseckt 14 лет назад

on the nes advantige clone the weels for the turbo buttons are for adjesting the fire rate so you hit the sweet spot wich is a bit diffrent for each shooter style game. To see Slow motion at it's best play Life Forse (turn the volume down tho its anoying hering the pause sound) Slow motion is just imply pausing the game rapidly (like a turbo for the start button)

@McStarkiller666 10 лет назад

I am looking for a home console/computer that just plays games from a SD card like NES SNES Master System Genesis maybe Sega CD does anyone know one that is easy to use

@porlae 11 лет назад

the reason why you jump lower with turbo enabled is because the button registers fast presses and since its pressure and time sensitive the jump gets cancelled by the next button press.

@JoeCannon1982 8 лет назад

Can I play super Famicom games using the super Famicom adapter

@BaconStein 13 лет назад

This console looks really cool, I love how close it looks to the original, and the fact that you can play Famicom games without the converter. The controllers look kind of small, though. :F

@-DeScruff 14 лет назад

I might wanna get this, if not the adapter and the arcade stick since last time i checked the actual arcade stick was expensive, also the wireless might work better since my NES is far away from my couch and I dont need people tripping on wires.

@nashnooga 12 лет назад

i remember this thing looked sooo badass when i first saw it

@timpedra 11 лет назад

What happens if you turn on the video game with 2 cartridges on it?

@MrWappaz 11 лет назад

I have a PAL TV. So does that mean PAL and NTSC games will work?( I don't have a NTSC TV)

@edivadR 7 лет назад

Found 1 of these in a pawn shop today $15 just the console he had the controller in a bin i had no clue it was for this system gotta go back and grab that i guess...

@wrestletube1 14 лет назад

I liked the intro theme. Well as a instrumental over vocal anyway.

@gatoisold 10 лет назад

Can you plug in your own controller?

@NTtheLion 12 лет назад

DO normal SNES games plug into the fam slot? Might be a dumb question, BUT, I'm curious.

@dave4shmups 14 лет назад

@Gamester81, did you have any problems with cartridges not working because they weren't spotless clean? I ask because I bought one of these consoles 2 years ago from GameCrazy, and it just seemed like if the NES games (Famicom games weren't an issue for some reason) had a spec of dust on the connector pins, they wouldn't work. I ended up returning the system. Great video, BTW!!

@something2424 12 лет назад

@mobilesuitZer0 lol wich one? the origonal? or the nes advantage

@trendkill777 10 лет назад

What about the turbo button?

@amzab123 11 лет назад

My friend bout an NES (the original kind) and instead of the AUX video or whatever, it came in the red, white, and red format... Anything special?

@MrShobaro 12 лет назад

yeah i have the handheald snes and alot of games are bugy as hell on it like the controll spazes out or the game is buged other then that the twin plays fine just doesnt play games that have weird chips in them fx is fine tho

@TronPachioftheDynamo 11 лет назад

I like the Gradius font they were using in the manual. :3

@Cloud4235 14 лет назад

this is really cool im going to use it for famicom games

@OutRunner1989 14 лет назад

its funny that some of the ads in the manual look like nes cover art i seen ads that look like gradius 2 and super off road

@pandanurse 13 лет назад

Does it have any compatability issues?

@muragaru553 14 лет назад

That is pretty cool. I kinda want one now, haha.

@MWMcVicker 12 лет назад

John I thought my hands were huge until I watched your videos haha :)

@marcoslopez_ 12 лет назад

I still have mines but haven't used it in some time. It works great though! It's a little hard pulling the game out though.

@gamerjr92 14 лет назад

Nice job, your a good advertiser you can sell almost any system you want.

@CykPykMyk 12 лет назад

everyone has. you can use a converter any time.

@iphonepunker 11 лет назад

whats always annoyed me iv my original NES setup on my 32" samsung TV works great via scart but the zapper gun well only run on the older TVs so i have duck hunt my favourite for the NES next to contra (the EU version Probotector) and i cant use any of my zapper gun games anyone else have this problem ????

@DJIndy 12 лет назад

Another reason to get something like this is you'll notice the NES connection involves no moving parts. The pin connector for the NES is prone to wearing down and becoming difficult to use or unusable, largely due to the way the pin connectors were designed where it moves to lock in rather than just goes directly into the operational position. This is also why the top loader NES is so sought after.

@DeliciousHotShmoze 10 лет назад

My third-party N64 controller has the same problem with its slow button. Is it just supposed to work with certain games or is it just a very common problem with slow buttons?

@leadbones 10 лет назад

It's not a "problem". That is how slo-mo works. It's not like the controllers have a magic button that actually slows down the game or the hardware. It is rapid fire for the start button, and that is all "slo-mo" is on any controller.

@AtariBorn 8 лет назад

+leadbones Except for the Gameboy Commander controller. It actually slows the Super Gameboy's clock down. The only REAL slow motion controller button.

@NTtheLion 12 лет назад

So does Nes or SNES plug into the front?

@oldschoolhero66 14 лет назад

always wanted one of theseeee...

@Falador321 7 лет назад

the audio sounds off, but its a cool little clone console

@VirginPrince 9 лет назад

So what's the story with the game compatibility issues? I'm assuming this clone uses Nintendo-on-a-chip technology on the inside, as opposed to being built using similar components to the original NES and Famicom? That generally seems to be the culprit.

@gorance2000 14 лет назад

hey gamester do normal NES controllers work on the NEX

@DJIndy 11 лет назад

You could do either, but a lot of people are not confident enough in their tech skills to attempt such feats for fear of causing greater damage, or think it's just too much work. Besides, even if you replace the connector it will eventually wear down again for the same reasons it wore down before. I've had to replace my pin connectors multiple times, though I think some of that was jumping the gun and I should have also tried cleaning the carts themselves better.

@suicidalparrot 14 лет назад

The correlation between the leaf and the raccoon comes from the fact that in the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 3 Mario turned into a tanuki not a raccoon, and the leaf is associated with the their metamorphic powers in Japanese folklore. The "raccoon" version was normal tanuki Mario, and the full suit version was a kind of upgrade.

@rashedabdullah8240 11 лет назад

not do be rude but... do you have or played a sega genesis/saturn/dreamcast

@MrWappaz 11 лет назад

Does it work with pal games?

@bucketsaremyfriend 11 лет назад

Are you sure you're not thinking about SMB3 from All Stars on SNES? Music sounded like what I was used to playing, and I'm in NTSC region.

@Wolfwood428 12 лет назад

or you could just open it up and bend the pins back like i do, or if you really want to you can just repace the 72 pin connector of which there are many repro's out there that work just fine.

@RB-jt1zo 8 лет назад

anyone who wants stereo sound...can use a Y-splitter rca cable now you have left and right audio

@aljr357 8 лет назад

Super Mario brothers 3 is definately my favourite nes game and it's my favourite Mario game that I've played so far but to be fair I've only played up to super Mario 64 and the new supermario DS so I have a lot of Mario titles to try still

@trekzilladmc 12 лет назад

@something2424 Based on the reviews, it seems that the Retro Duo is the more reliable NES clone.

@ProtoMario 13 лет назад

Believe it or not i actually found this for sail in a retail shop years ago when i was serving in the military. Both console and controller was for sale in this place and i looked and said wtf is this? So i bought this sucker then later i learned it was significantly hard to find for sale, other than online. What are the odds? even more coincidental this was one of my first review videos i made.

@Gamester81Arcade 14 лет назад

@aStrayforMyTime It was released in 2005. I got mine at Hollywood Video back in the day.

@SmokeyBluntRoach 12 лет назад

@something2424 if by your nes is fighting you more and more, you mean you put the cartridge in and nothing happens but the system resets and the screen blinks, consider looking up how to replace the 52 pin connector. other than that.... uhhhh. the nintoaster? or look into the hyperkin retron, it can bang out nes snes or sega genesis. or if you are in love with old school 2600 gaming, try the super genintari. the same as the retron, but with atari 2600 support.

@aStrayforMyTime 14 лет назад

when was Gen. Nex released?

@Disthron 11 лет назад

Actually I was amazed that a clone system would work with an external peripheral. Most don't, some don't even work with co-processors like the FX chip. After looking into it, I found out that the Famicom Disc System actually plugs into the cartridge port, not an expansion slot like say the Sega CD. That's probably why it works with this system.

@TheGameMagician 12 лет назад

IT IS GOOD THAT IT'S HARD TO GET THE GAMES OUT, that means that the pins are connecting very well

@Alymero 14 лет назад

I have the official NES top loader released in 1993, but even I have to admit I would much rather have the Generation Nex system. I'll look into possibly getting one perhaps.
