Elena A. April 2025Verified BuyerUnmatched quality!Large screen, lots of games, lightweightComment:Very interesting and easy to use game console, I wish I had one like this when I was a kid 25 years ago. And now I can make my kids happy. Games of different genres, colorful image and clear sound, you can adjust and use headphones, and also download your favorite games additionally. Easy to control, the joysticks are soft and you can quickly select games by changing sections. Rated 10 out of 10 for quality and performance. I also want to note that the battery lasts a long timeWas this helpful? 19 0
