I really struggled as to whether to give this 1 or 2 stars. I went with 1, the transaction started off well but went south fast. I ordered it on 12/12 and received it on 12/21, so no problem there. I had never purchased from them before so with it being a gift I wanted to plug it in and make sure it was working, and low and behold it didn't. So I emailed customer service and they responded quickly letting me know that it was probably the SD card so they would send a new one and I would have it on 12/26. So I was a little disappointed I wouldn't have it by Christmas, but still no big deal. And that was the last correspondence from customer service sent on 12/22. It is now 1/7 and I still have not received the new SD card and multiple emails from me have gone unanswered. They gladly took my payment and have now stuck me with a system that doesn't work. There is no phone number so the only thing I can do is hope that one of my emails will be answered. I have tried to be patient, but the complete lack of communication and caring is really leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I want to like this company, but it's starting to feel a little like a scam. I will update this review in the future if anything comes of this, but who knows if they'll even actually read this. UPDATE: After a lot of communication attempts I did finally receive my new SD card and it worked exactly as advertised. I don’t know the exact date, but I received the card in late January after my initial order was placed in December. It was a very frustrating process at times, but I have nothing bad to say about the system itself other than some of the N64 games are unplayable due to the drop in FPS. But that’s forgivable due to everything else the system offers. Maybe it was just a rush after the holidays, but if you have a problem with your system make sure you keep on them about it until they respond. I’m not 100% sure I ever would have gotten this resolved if I hadn’t been persistent in emailing them and Facebook messaging them constantly. But overall it is a great product and I am enjoying it a lot.

Love the games

Awesome machine

Bought the deluxe version and it's great! My only gripe is that some N64 games glitch out. The old classics and finding "new" old games is great! Commodore, Colecovision, and Nintendo DS don't work. Kinda bummed because I was "really" looking forward to playing "Chuck Norris Superkicks". Ah well back to cursing about Battletoads...f***ing Battletoads.

I was over all satisfied with this seller. Although for reasons (not of the sellers fault) i had to return the item and was refunded properly. I would recommend them to friends and family tho

Received the deluxe drive yesterday. Shipping did not take that long (less than two weeks) and Retro Drive answered all my Facebook messages even when I had a lot. The system is pretty neat given the form factor. The only issue I had was that the controller didn’t come already paired to the console or maybe it did and I didn’t know. Maybe some brief instructions on a piece of paper would suffice, nonetheless I figured it out with a google search but I am confident that they would have helped if I messaged them. The games run as expected. I am aware of some N64 game’s not being optimal because that’s how emulation works however I am shocked at how well PS1 looks and run! Overall I like this product and I recommend it, the only thing I would say is to add some brief instructions. I would consider ordering from them in the future for that Nvidia Shield.

I paid for priority shipping early in june and its August now with no added info to tracking. It's been in the same location and I'm not reviewing anything I don't physically have yet. This is still up for change if I ever receive the product. UPDATE 8/24/2020 I have received the Retro drive, I expected a delay with the pandemic. I did order mine with 2 ps4 dualshock controllers and 2 8bit controllers. What I got was 2 steam/x-box style controllers and 2 8bit nintendo controllers... no biggie but not what I ordered. Other than that the games I asked for are in and work great. My only complains are that the gamecube games are a little laggy and none of the controllers given are compatible with the N64 games since there's no option to map the Z button. Hopefully an update can help but this is a great product either way. THANKS.

Very friendly. Nice product.
