07:27 - Conclusion and comparison to Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD
All in this console does provide a decent value, delivering a HD capable NES clone for $10 less than its nearest competitor the Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD. It even comes with a second controller for the $29 price tag.

But it falls short of the Hyperkin in a few areas. First the console only outputs widescreen, relying on the individual HD television to try and restore it to its original aspect ratio (the Hyperkin has a toggle switch for selecting aspect ratios). It also is not built as well, with my review unit having a bent pin in its cartridge slot and a overall less quality build for both the console and its controllers.
While both support output to traditional CRT televisions the 8-Bit does not work with the Zapper light gun. The Hyperkin will work with the zapper on a traditional television.
But neither console is perfect. I recommend the RetroUSB AVS for those looking for a more true NES experience. But if you're on a budget you certainly can't beat the price here.
