dont buy
I know what you are all thinking, "wow this looks so cool I can finally play all my games on one system" yeah well first off its not made by Nintendo its made by a 3rd party company anything not from Nintendo is just asking for trouble let alone probably illegal. second it can't play all games from the SNES and NES some games for it you can live without but you can't play super Mario RPG on it, now that's just unacceptable, also in order to play Japanese you have to remove the top from it let you see a bunch off circuit board and making the slot big enough to fit the cartridge in and with European games don't work at all. Just spend some extra money and buy them separately this thing is only worth 5-15 dollars including shipping so if you can find one that cheap you could consider buying

You buy it new but it's not new,
When I got this I was pretty excited that I could be able to finally play my NES games. But one thing that made me suspicious was that it had no manual or proof of any company that manufactured it. When I opened it to get a good look inside I was shocked to see that the LEDs were taped to the case and the parts looked as if they were 20 years old, there was fingerprints all over the motherboard and there was hair in it. This isnt a brand new product its parts of older NES and SNES machines assembled together and shipped under the description of new. So dont let counterfeits fool you, make sure it has Nintendo approval.

Good but...
This system is OK but as people have already mentioned there are problems with the sound and color on NES games. I have also noticed some slowdown on SNES games (eg Super R-Type and Final Fight), when there are a lot of sprites on screen these games slow down big time which is disappointing.
The controllers you get with the system are pretty flimbsy, you'll definitly need to buy some snes controllers.
All that said its still a good system but beware the emulation is not perfect.

Could have been perfect
My only real beef with this system is the terrible audio quality for the NES side.It's pretty bad when I'm actually wincing as I hear the music for Dragon Warrior 4!
One of the main reasons I still love to play classic games like Megaman,Dragon Warrior and Ninja Gaiden is to hear all the great music that is featured.When you take that away.... well,it's just not as fun playing with your ipod on;but hey,at least you can still play.
On a side note,it's been said that you can NOT play Dragon Warrior 2. Well,I could play my copy just fine.Maybe it has something to do with the save feature?? So far though,everything played out perfectly.
As for the SNES side it's almost completely flawless.The sound quality is perfect as is the gameplay.The only thing I don't like is that you cannot play Super Mario RPG;which I think really s-cks.That was one of my favorite 16-bit games.You can't play it for the same reason you can't play Castlevania 3:Dracula's Curse on the nes side.It has to do with a newer chip that was used in the game's creation.It makes the information process faster.The good news is that there are only a few games that use that chip both on the nes and snes side.
As other reviewers have said,the cords with the controllers are short;I recomend buying an extension cable for the snes at your local used gaming store.Also the controllers that come with it aren't very good (at least in my case) The buttons had very slow response rate and some didn't even work.However the contollers can be replaced with traditonal snes ones and work perfect for both 8-bit and 16-bit.
You might also find yourself in a struggle with the death grip that the FC twin puts on your nes games;supposedly this lessens over time.
This would have been a perfect system esp. with the ability to play games from both the 8-bit and 16-bit generations.However the poor audio quality on the nes side and minus Super Mario RPG on the snes side take away a few points.Still it's a very admirable attempt,and I'd rather use the FC twin than have another two systems on my tv (I already have a PS2,Xbox and gamecube hooked up!)
