godslabrat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Retro Duo, like any NES clone, was not designed by Nintendo, but was copied years later after the patents expired. Therefore, there are a few games that don't work 100% correctly, if at all. Castlevania III (NES) Rad Racer II, and some revisions of Super Mario RPG (SNES) are notorious for not working on these systems. Of the games that do work, some sounds might be distorted. There is a genuine need for newly-made NES systems of a high quality, but no one seems to be ready to make them. FWIW, the RetroDuo is considered to be one of the best clones out there.

STICH666 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Be careful with them. Sometimes the thing draws too much current and blows itself up any anything else connected. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. Here's my friend's story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAgeGamer Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sorry a little off topic, but I find it unusual that they sell the Retro Duo for $36.99 + FREE SHIPPING. So, unless GamezForLess is actually Innex in disguise there's no way they are not losing money by selling them that cheap plus free shipping. Also, its weird that they sell the Retro Duo on Buy.com, but not on their own site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
