Review on ⚡️ GeeekPi Retro Gaming Nes3Pi Case with Fan and Cooling for Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspberry Pi 2B/3B/3B+ Cases with Heatsinks by Alejandro Silem

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Excellent Pi 3 case for NES emulation

Looking at this case, you probably want to turn your Pi into an NES emulator, and this definitely does the trick. The assembly is very simple. The fan works well and is quiet. My biggest gripe and reason for deducting 3 stars from the rating is that the power/select buttons on the front of this NES case are static and just for show - they don't work and there's no excuse for that. Shortly after purchasing this case I found another equally beautiful NES style case here at Revain with a fully functional power on and reset button, allowing for a seamless plug and play setup with the Pi for just a few bucks more -Board provides. While this case looks good and does what it's designed to do, the lack of a functional on/off button makes this product really underpowered compared to the competing version, which has two buttons and costs around $4-5 more inferior in quality. If you really need this case, be sure to buy a power cord with a switch, otherwise you'll have to plug and unplug the device every time you want to play games, which is completely absurd.

  • Waiting for
