Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just great
This is great if you want to play any of the older games from NES. I will also say that this is very very light, lighter than the actual games that go into it which is funny.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The 80s revived!
This is a top loading clone of the NES. It has a US-style cartridge slot, and will accept most original controllers. Very important for things such as the Zapper or Power Pad.

The main tip I'll give is to properly clean your games before using them! Some are 20+ years old after all. This model may be easier to make start up, but damaging it with gunk defeats the main point of buying one.

Keep in mind this was meant for running USA NES games. It doesn't have a Famicom slot, and probably not PAL support (I don't own any imported games to test).

Yes... The Game Genie works. No problem there. Like most clones, only major title it won't start up is Castlevania III. Not too important as it's probably best to just emulate or wait for a Virtual Console edition on Wii.

The 2 included controllers are light weight, with features not offered by an original pack-in NES kind. They have more buttons. Turbo A, turbo B, and a "slow" button that repeats Start rapidly. The LED will light up when this is in effect.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Ordered two in a row and neither worked. Ugh.
I ordered one of these after much research prior to Xmas. When it arrived I couldn't have been more excited. I talked it up to all my friends and couldn't wait for some SMB3 parties to go down. To my dismay, I plugged it in and got a loud "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" noise and a scrolling dark screen. I tried 6 different games and the same result. Luckily I opened it right away as the packing slip states you only have 3 days to report problems. I suspect many people were quite pissed on Xmas to open it and find a non-working Yobo which was past the return date.
I then ordered a second one hoping I was just unlucky and the first had been damaged in transit from CA to FL. Can you say Deja Vu? Out of the box and there I sat, head in hands. For shame Endless Variety. For shame.

To their credit they did give me $5 off the second one I ordered, though I would have rather not spent the past 3 weeks ordering and returning non-functioning yobos. I'm going to order a "NEX" which is reported to be the same thing but with much better construction (and a higher price). You know what they say; "if it's too good to be true..."



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nintendo Top Loader by Yobo
I purchased this "game system" for my dad for Christmas. And WE absolutely love it. I mean it works great. Put our old Nintendo games in and it worked the very first time. It brings back some great memories. I will be honest I was completely surprised about how well it worked.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad
The Yobo is a cheaply-made device, and rather ugly besides, but the tiny console did what I wanted it to do-- play the Legend of Zelda. There were some issues with the Yobo booting the game initially, but it eventually played the game satisfactorilly with a few problems with freezing and on-screen errors now and then. It's not a terribly well-made or reliable piece of equipment, but I'd recommend it for a cheap nostalgia trip. I don't think it could hold up well to regular or heavy-use gaming.
