The Retro Champ tries to be the “Switch” for NES/Famicom cartridges, but sadly fails in many key areas. I wanna like it…but NOPE…
PROS
good size, feels well built
I like that there is a rechargeable battery
turns on and boots up very quick
Supports thousands of physical games
CONS
Screen is not crisp at all. Looks like 240p footage instead of upscaled
D-pad is a little shallow and mushy
Has a death grip on your NES cartridge
Famicom cartridges are very tough to get out because they’re flush with the system. You need to either use that special tool to push them out or another NES cartridge which is kind of weird and bad design
Wii GAMES SHOWN:
Pirates PlundArrr
Need for Speed: Nitro
Godzilla: Unleashed
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Top Shot Arcade
FlingSmash
Hot Wheels: Track Attack!?
Penguins of Madagascar
Hidden Mysteries: Titanic
