Type of review

With its pros. Collectible item. Illuminated logo on the back of the case. Fantastic green! Packaging, box and protective plastic - all this with attention to detail and Easter eggs, which also delivers very much! Some cons: Disadvantages are written off by being legendary. And it’s a pity that there is no small “footboard” / stand, as, for example, in “Well, you wait!” from the Soviet "Electronics".

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

A well-made thing, frustrating in the details. Not the best set of games for the device format. A great gift for collectors, fans and people who want to touch the classics. Difficult to recommend to someone else. For those who pre-ordered - there was a cover as a gift.

Pros
  • 1. Screen. For such a device, you expect to see an LCD of the worst quality. There is also a bright and contrasting 2.4" display with a good brightness gradation, which allows you to comfortably play on a sunny day and at night. 2. Speaker. Loud, perfectly transmitting midi melodies. 3. Overall build quality. It can be seen that Nintendo is lovingly approaching the "resurrection" of its entire classic series. The buttons do not play, they have a good move. 4. USB-C connector for charging. An unexpected pleasant surprise for such a device. 5. Automatic saving of progress when changing games and switching the device to sleep. 6. Long battery life. 8 hours of play on 3 hours of charge.
Cons
  • 1. USB-C does not work for data transfer - only charging. As a result: hacking the console only by hardware, it is impossible to output to the big screen. 2. No headphone jack. A big minus, forcing you to play without sound almost all the time, so as not to annoy others. It's not even worth talking about the presence of BT here. 3. The "Clock" mode is positioned in promotional videos and reviews as an "Always On" feature - you turn on the clock, put it on the table and you always have the opportunity to see the time. This is wrong. The mode is limited to three minutes, after which the device goes to sleep. 4. The volume setting is not general, but separately set for games and for hours. This is often confusing, since it is not needed at all in the clock (there is no alarm clock). 5. Resetting progress when turning off the device (discharge or long holding the "Power" button). 6. Games. Apart from the classic Game & Watch Ball, there are Super Mario Bros and the Japanese Super Mario Bros 2 (released as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels in the West). For such a device, one would like to see "plotless/endless" games like Dr. Mario's Tetris, the original Mario Bros and others.
