Definitely worth it, but read below

Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this product. The build quality is excellent (the plastic is more durable than the Nintendo DS, which I definitely wasn't expecting!) and the battery life is as long as advertised. Wi-Fi works great and downloads Youtube videos as fast as your wireless router will allow. However, there are some VERY important things to note: This is literally an Android device with portable gaming hardware attached to the frame. It comes preloaded with games, but if you don't already have emulators installed on your Android device, you probably want to know how to do so to take full advantage of this device. Since this device is not officially recognized by Google, you cannot access the App Store either. That might not be 100% true, but I didn't want to waste time figuring out how to get around this, so I "downloaded" the apps I needed. Sideloading apps is something you'll probably want to explore. However, once everything is set up, this device is truly amazing. I've loaded loads of Sega DreamCast, Nintendo 64, Playstation Portable, PS1 and Game Boy Advance games and they work flawlessly. This is by far the best gift you can give to a person who loves retro console gaming because they will play literally all the games released on the consoles listed above, plus a few others. You can also connect it to your TV with an HDMI console and you have almost all of the above consoles on this cute little device.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Useless features
