1UPcard Cleaning Kit Compatible With SNES (Super Nintendo) and RetroN Consoles Video Game Cartridges

Bottom line: The 1UPcard Cleaning Kit: Cleans side and center pins, not just the center row like older SNES cleaners; main trade-off: three included 1UPcards are consumable and need reordering over time.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Cleans side and center pins, not just the center row like older SNES cleaners
  • ✓ Newly manufactured, so the felt and contacts are not 30-year-old worn stock
  • ✓ Bundle ships with the console cleaner, three 1UPcards, and cleaning fluid
  • ✓ Cards also work on Retro-Bit and RetroN cartridge slots, not SNES only

Cons

  • ✗ Three included 1UPcards are consumable and need reordering over time
  • ✗ Cleaning fluid volume is not listed, so refill frequency is hard to plan
  • ✗ Console cleaner shape targets SNES-family slots, not NES or N64 cartridges
  • ✗ Heavily oxidized pins may still need a manual scrub this kit does not replace

Manufacturer description

There's nothing like classic gaming on original equipment. Save your breath; blowing into game cartridges was fine when we were eight, but now there's a better way: the 1UPcard SNES Reviver Bundle. This newly manufactured kit contains the SNES Console Cleaner, three 1UPcards, and cleaning fluid to quickly bring your game cartridges back to life. (And the cleaning cards are compatible with many other consoles' games too.) Don't let 28 years of grime, spit and dirt stand between you and your Super Nintendo. Game on with the SNES Reviver Bundle.
