Product description

Color:Black

The FC Twin can play both NES and SNES cartridges. The top-loading design corrects many of the issues experienced with the original consoles, including the 'blinking red light'. The A/V output, while not as perfect as the original NES model 001, provides great picture and sound quality.

Mr. James

An Economical Console That Plays NES-SNES Games

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014

One day I was browsing through Amazon and found the Yobo SNES-NES FC Twin Video Game System(Black).
I read the reviews, some positive and others negative. Decided to buy one for myself, I recently found my old
NES in the attic and was not sure if it would function properly after sitting in a plastic bag for 20+ yrs. After buying
an ac adapter and a NES Joystick from Amazon, I tried a couple of games that I also found in the attic. Sure enough,
all the games worked fine after cleaning the game contacts. There's people that say the FC Twin can't play certain
games, Castlevania 3, Game Genie, etc. I don't know if that's true or not, that's why I'm keeping my old trusty NES
around. Now I'll get back to the FC Twin. Today I received my Black FC Twin in the mail, it awhile even though
the seller on Amazon shipped it by Priority Mail. The FC is light, maybe a little more than one pound. It's really small
and it's compact size can fit anywhere. Mine was made in 2010, I found a hologram sticker on the box and I can
clearly see it says 2010, so that's a good sign. You get 2 SNES controllers, exact relicas of the original SNES.
They're light-weight as well, they work good for me. The buton layout is reversed, Y is B and B is A, the X and A
bottons to the right are Turbo buttons for the NES. The D-Pad works good, although it has a mushy feel to it.
Getting an NES Game to fit in the FC Twin was a little hard for at first, it feels as though it might break. Pulling
the game out is what lots of people have problems with. You need to apply some force to get them out.
Inserting and removing a SNES game is a lot easier. The Ac adapter weighs about the same as a NES and functions
well as does the av cables that are included. What Retro-NES Gaming Fan who wouldn't want the FC Twin is
a fool. You get 2 consoles in one, having to buy the NES and SNES separetly is quite expensive. It's so much
fun playing all my NES games and SNES, Thanks to the FC Twin it makes it possible. I highly recommend the FC
Twin to fans of the old NES-SNES generation. It's old-school gaming at it's best.

In my youth, my most prized possession was a Super Nintendo game console, from Nintendo! I loved that game system, and I still have it to this very day! As a matter of fact, it was that system that got me REALLY interested in video games! I had other systems, but for me, the Super Nintendo was just downright magical!

As the years passed, I eventually unhooked my old game systems, set them lovingly in a box and tucked them away in a closet. Unfortunately, combined with the hugeness of modern-day game systems, and my limited space, I just didn’t have the room to keep them all hooked up! Which was a shame, but the newer systems helped ease the pain.

However, while browsing through Amazon, I this. It played BOTH Super Nintendo games and regular NES titles as well! My heart skipped a beat! Then I saw the price! Less than 40 dollars! All the memories of staying up to the brink of dawn during super mario world marathons came flooding back! I couldn’t resist!

When the game console arrived, I seriously think I might have danced a little jig. After my little jig, I tore through the packaging in a manner befitting the Tasmanian devil, and whipped out the system!

First thing I noticed was that the system is light! I mean really light! I am pretty sure, that most super Nintendo game carts weigh more than the FC Twin! To me, this was a bonus! Yes, that means that the casing of the system can’t be too thick, and not very protective, however I have no plans to throw this system across the room, and I have no children who might mistake it for a trampoline.

The next thing I noticed, was that it was really small! Which meant I could easily find room around my TV to place it. It’s width is just a little wider than a game cartridge and about as long as a DVD case. Which is amazing since this is essentially 2 game consoles in one! You can seriously just fit it anywhere!

Next the controllers, I wasn’t quite fond of those! They just lacked the feel of the original SNES game pads. They have the same design, and same button positioning, but not the same feel! Also, they were super light, and I personally prefer to have the game pad resting firmly in my grips, not floating atop the flesh of my palms. Still, since the FC Twin uses the same controller connector as the SNES, you can easily switch it out for a SNES controller. Win/Win.

Speaking of it using the same ports as the SNES! This is good and bad, it’s good in the fact that you can use your favorite 16-bit SNES game pad to play your games, however it’s bad in that you can only use your favorite SNES game pads! Unless you are forgetting, this piece of gaming marvel also plays standard 8-Bit NES games, however the NES and SNES had very different ports. Translation: You can’t use 8-bit NES controllers on your FC-Twin. This means, games that required special controllers, are non-playable. Games like Duck Hunt or any other light zapper title. It also means, if you really were looking forward to playing some of your favorite NES games using the Nintendo Power Glove, then tough titties!

Anyway! Game consoles all hooked up, all ports on my Mad Catz AV Sitch box hub are now filled, and it’s time to play some games! The first thing I noticed when I popped in a SNES game was that it was kind of a tight fit! I had to push a little harder than I would have liked, but that will loosen over time I imagine. Next thing I noticed was the familiar sense of Deja vu, when I had to pull the cart out and blow on it. Then again, and again and again. Then I realised that these games have probably been sitting in a box for 15 years or longer, so I just broke out the Q-tips and rubbing alcohol and gave it a good cleaning, and after letting it dry for awhile, popped it in the system, and it worked like a charm!

The colors were amazing and gorgeous, and it was everything I remembered it to be. I swear if I wasn't such a manly man, I probably would have shed a tear! However, I am a manly man, so I didn’t!

Over-all, the system is fantastic! Definitely worth the price tag! Now, the system comes in various models and colors, obviously I picked the Black model, however there’s different colors, and some that even play SNES, NES and Genesis games! I however avoided that one, since I have heard tales of that particular model not functioning that well. This version however? Works like a charm, at least for now! If or when it ever breaks down, I will post about it!

Another thing to keep in mind, is that this system doesn’t play all NES and SNES games, but it does play most. If a game used a special chip, odds are, it won’t run on the FC Twin. Therefor, games like Super Mario RPG aren’t playable.
