I just got a this for christmas with zelda 1 and 2. And i do hqve to say that the screen is a little to bright. Also i am glad that the zapper for this doesnt make the spring sound when you shoot.
Do yourselves a favor and buy a GP2X Wiz and you can play NES, SNES, Genesis, Arcade, and much much more on one convenient SD Card. Don't waste your money on the retro mini!!
God I already get made fun of for playing video games and I am 25, could you imagine what they would say if I was lugging around that big pile of mess on the go LOL
Please Help! I'm having some serious issues with my FC Mobile II, which is the same as the Retro Mini X. Some games which work fine on my real NES [Tetris, Mario 2, and the Duck Hunt/Mario cart] start up fine on the FC, but then get blurrier and blurrier, and often freeze, it looks like its circuit bending or something like that.
Please Help!
I can upload a video so you can see EXACTLY what's happening. This worries me, I dont want to end up frying any of my NES games!
I seems as though everyone is saying that retro mini x and fc mobile 2 are the same thing, but on a web site they were listed for a price difference of 10 dollars. Does anybody know if they are definitely exactly the same besides the art on the Fc console.
i need to find this system. i would imagine myself waiting to ride Epcot's Soarin (which is notorious for having a long line) and playing Shadow of the Ninja or any of the TMNT games
Okay I received this in the mail today, I tested the speakers they worked fine, but after I tested sound with headphones, the speakers now will not work. And yes I unplugged the headphones. I tried just about everything to get them working again but still nothing. Can anyone help?
Yes It is,Not only is it a good substitute for the NES,It's also portable,But It's super sensitive to Dirty Connectors in the cartridges.But still,Its a pretty impressive handheld.
I had the opportunity to play with one of these at a local play n'Trade and I have to say for the price I'm really not impressed. The sound it awful if turned up past 50% the screen has bad representation of the original graphics on a tv almost as if its skipping pixels and the overall feel is cheap plastic to where I would be afraid to take it out of the house. That being said it did play all the games i tested and the screen was very bright.
Okay, okay, it plays NES games. But what I wanna know is, can you play 2 player games using the little screen? Like if you're on a road trip and you have a friend who wants to play with you, can you both use the wireless controllers on the handheld without having to hook it up to a TV? And is the Light Gun compatible with the tiny screen?
The patent ran out on the Nintendo, that's why you are seeing these other companies making these compatible units. I am hoping that means that we will see some of these in the SNES variety soon!
@x41000 that's cool... a lot changes in a year! I think a portable system that could play both the original carts AND has an sd card slot for roms would be just awesome. most of the portable systems out there don't let you play the original carts, or have compatibility/sounds issues, or they don't let you play multiplayer
what would it take for me to play a japanese ps2 game on my north american ps2? the only import game that i want is svc chaos: snk vs. capcom. yea i know it's supposedly not that good of a game, but it never came out on the usa ps2 and i wanted it...
that was a great game. But your actually better off buying the US gamecube version and getting an X-Arcade stick and gamecube adapter. You can play it on your wii. it wont require any shinaniginry
does it work with castlevania 3? for what i know the first fc mobile does,nt work with that game.

I Got A Question. How Can You Play Gumshoe On A FC Mobile 2 With The Zapper
Working?
P.S. I Always Play The Zapper games On My Original Funai TV
AlienX99999 6 months ago
It Works Really Well Until The Batteries Are Almost Drained Out.
Then the Batteries Cause It To Make Problems For It Until All 4 Batteries Are Replaced.
Pros: Impressive Sound Emulation,
Does Not Cause Hand Cramps,
Impressive Design,
Plays Every Game On NES And Famicon
Cons: Cannot Play Zapper Games On Portable Unless Hooked Up To A SDTV.
When Batteries Are Almost Drained, FC Mobile II Causes Glitches Unless It Is Hooked Up To The TV Or It Replaces Drained Batteries.
