Wifi Game box Console
This game box comes with 2 controllers so your little ones don't have to play alone. Initially I gave this to my 15 year old. He likes that it was easy to set up and has tons of games, but he did complain that he felt the games were outdated and it seemed to glitch a lot. The game system was then placed in my 7 year olds room whom loves it and recruits her older brother to play with her from time to time , but she can play for quite some time hopping from game to game. Overall it's inexpensive and great for younger kids

Controller Delay, Non-Working Titles, Levels That Never Existed & MANY Repeats/Versions Of Titles!
TLDR: Not Good, For Real! Lots Of Issues In This Emulator.Just being honest….it’s pretty difficult to enjoy and to try and play with the controller delay. This is a VINE Item and I cannot return it. If this had been an order attached to my bank account I would have returned it immediately!!! I sat down with it for a handful of “gaming sessions” and I had to force myself to sit there and continue using it to give it a fair shake. I have not thought about returning to it since I completed the testing of the unit for this review and I’m a little upset about that because I was really looking forward to playing all of the old school titles that I grew up playing. It is just not fun and the controllers are 90% to blame for it. The delay from when a direction button and/or action button(s) are pressed to when it actually happens inside the game makes most of the games VERY difficult, if not impossible, to play and results in MANY “mistakes” and losing “chances” over and over again. It is not enjoyable or a stress reliever….actually the complete opposite and very frustrating. Many titles in the list are not actually the entire game or the real order of the game levels. Some titles do include “cheats” built into them like permanent invincibility or unlimited “chances” instead of the 3 “chances” and “Game Over.” Those cheats are kind of fun but those versions are also glitchy and have some very apparent programming errors.The "system" is emulator based and doesn't deliver the graphics or experience of the titles included. However, it does offer most of the titles I was interested in from many of the classic titles, all the way back to Joystick system titles and loads of systems in between and even systems not originally sold or offered in the states. It does connect up to WIFI or Ethernet to get online and a small amount of additional titles, and emulators are available for download, although I did not download any of those “extras.”. The list of titles does number up to 20,040 titles. HOWEVER many of these I found to be repeated just to change the number of players or the language on the one selected. Let me explain. Titles are broken down into versions. So a title may be listed multiple times and the difference being...one player....then a two player option....then a language change on yet another listing of the same title and so forth. Very minor changes to the title selection but still the exact same game just with certain options locked out that are only available under the same game title but lower in the list. Having it broken down like that results in multiple game slots being used for any particular title and each one counts toward the 20,040 on the console. Also, I found the game titles to be odd and they do not pertain to the actual game title in many circumstances so the search feature is not useful at all and scrolling TWENTY THOUSAND GAME TITLES looking for a game isn’t what I would call “fun,” especially when there is no guarantee that the game I am looking for is loaded under the correct title of the game. For example Super M**** 1 is titled "cjmlaxd.".The graphics while, acceptable HD-wise, are also not true to the original releases. They do not look like original game play and appear like an image in a coloring book. Also, when changing any system settings, the only way to get back out of that menu and to the game list screen again is to reboot.The system comes with everything needed to get up, running and connected right out of the box including an HDMI cable, 2 controllers, the separate USB dongle to run the controllers, a power adaptor plug, instruction manual and the game system. I found it odd that the plug had 2 flat bars with no hole in them like standard US plugs SHOULD HAVE. I have opted to leave it unplugged when not in use.CONTROLLERS: The controllers run off of 2 AAA batteries each and the batteries WERE NOT INCLUDED Being on emulator console with controllers included I found it strange that the controllers run off of a separate USB Dongle and that controller support is not built-in to the game system itself. Worse yet is the "15 feet" distance requirement, I have to be very close to the “box” for them to work just ok-ish. Even when within this distance the CONTROLLERS LAG REALLY BADLY and button presses do not happen when the button is pressed, but instead delayed and this causes real issues with game play. There is no way to adjust this delay in the system or on the controllers. Even worse yet, is that I tried a variety of USB WIRED controllers to try and alleviate this issue and none of them work, nor were they even recognized as being plugged into either of the 2 USB ports. So I am assuming that there is no controller support built into the system board and a USB Dongle set-up is what is needed, even if wanting to upgrade from the terrible controllers that come in the package. The SERIOUSLY LACKING CONTROLLERS included on this make the entire system virtually unplayable and REALLY NOT ENJOYABLE AT ALL!The last thing I noticed that I was not happy with AT ALL is I ran across a handful of titles that are non-functional titles!!!! They play a “GAME OVER” Screen animation and that is it! The controller doesn't do anything, I cant select anything, I cannot get away from the "Game Over" screen and it seems as if no game is actually loaded in that slot....BUT IT IS BEING COUNTED as part of the "20,040 titles, no repeats." Upon a deeper dive into the system and playing each game slot to figure out what the difference between repeated titles were, I found that some slots are not even real games!!! They are odd start levels that the actual game doesn’t start with or they are completely OBSCURE levels that I have never seen and look to be “one off’ levels built by an amateur programmer. These levels have MANY ERRORS and often are unplayable and do not make any sense. I’ve personally never seen such a thing. Keep in mind all of these “one off” levels and game titles that start level 1-1 that aren't really level 1-1 and the unplayable titles all count toward the 20,040 number and how it got to the number.Overall, that lack of controller support and the terrible controllers that are included are enough to not order this one again but add that to all of the other game title issue, game repeats, game titles with “custom” levels, game titles with only one level, non-functioning titles and it is easy to say that I WOULD NOT ORDER THIS AGAIN and I cannot recommend it to others. Even the build quality of the casing is low quality. It falls short and fails in too many ways for me and it is unplayable due to the controller lag/delay. It is not fun to play because of all of the errors the controllers cause and all I can say is that knowing what I know now, I wish I skipped this one. This device has not provided me with any “fun” or “relaxation” which is why I play games and instead contains many hurdles that cannot be overcome and provides me with frustration. This one is a fail in my opinion. I wouldn’t order this one again and if I was looking for a similar gaming setup in the future I would 1000% be looking at competitive options. This one FAILS in too many ways for me, personally.

So many Pros, and the cons are also pros somehow...
Ok... so the games list is absolute chaos which i thought would be a downside. I have used many of these emulation devices this is the first one I have seen like this. Because of it being unorganized it caused me to find a bunch of great games i have never heard of like LOCO ROCO! there is no fan which is concerning so I just put a usb fan under it and called it good. everything runs perfect even dreamcast games. and each game has a video preview which is just so so good.
