Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Plays NES, SNES, and Genesis cartridges from one deck via a quick-access dial
✓ Two 2.4 GHz wireless controllers included, rated to 15 ft from the console
✓ Six original controller ports: 2 NES, 2 SNES, 2 Genesis for authentic pads
✓ S-video output available, not just composite AV
✓ Single-input setup replaces three consoles on one TV port

Cons

✗ Cartridge slots and controller ports draw the most owner complaints in that rating
✗ No HDMI output; S-video and composite only, so no clean modern-TV hookup
✗ 2.4 GHz wireless pads add latency versus wired original controllers
✗ Clone hardware, not original silicon, so some titles and sound may misbehave
