UPDATE: I'm cautiously restoring one star after my friend managed to (at least so far) free the jammed NES slot flap without touching anything else, using a dental mirror with a LED on it and some model building tweezers. While unplugged, of course!*Heads up, there appears to have been some internal flashing (manufacturing snafu) that snagged the flap.If it doesn't just get jammed again and no other problems arise, I'm happy enough to leave it at 4 stars. Guess we'll see how it goes from here.Retro-Bit Retro Duo Twin Video Game System NES and SNES V3.0Firstly, I'd like to say how glad I am that this exists at all. I babied an original NES console along until a few years ago, then was disappointed by the recent NES mini because so few of my personal favorites were in its selection. I kept my old cartridges, though, and now I'm happy that I did!That said, the stars knocked off are for abysmally bad manufacturing quality. One of the plastic flaps protecting the NES cartridge slot jammed irretrievably (without doing something risky) the first time it was pushed open. It wasn't even under any particular amount of pressure (the cartridge had not yet touched the contacts), it just opened and then wouldn't close again, in spite of the spring still visibly in place. It seems to be caught on something internal, I can't tell what*, and seems determined never to budge again.Since I sincerely doubt replacing the unit wouldn't be gambling with issues with the replacement, and it works otherwise, I'm going to dustcover the slot when it's not in use and keep it... unless something else breaks.The reason I'd rather not try my luck on an exchange is, that's not feeling like an outside chance unless. The reviews describing this unit as cheaply made and similar are, if anything, understating the case. Its plastic parts feel so fragile that switching cartridges is a horribly cringey affair, with me silently pleading not to hear a crackle or a crunch. Having part of it break on minute one sure didn't help my confidence in its quality and sturdiness.I'm glad this exists, but I sure hope its electronic components and controllers hold up better than that flap did. Good grief.  Read Less
