Customers like the quality of the video game console. They say it has great arcade beat 'em ups and shooters. The included games are all pretty much great, and the emulation is fine. Some say that the system is the absolute best arcade retro system you can get for the money. The controllers are nice and are very similar to a Super Nintendo controller. The arcade gameplay is where this shines.

Small console with big value

Small console with big value
I've had some time now to really put into the little unit and I am very happy with my purchase. For starters it's small, much smaller than anticipated. But I love that it takes up such little space under our TV. You can see it it my photos compared to our Xbox Controller.I really liked that there were brief game descriptions for each game as well quick button tutorials. Really helped for games I've never played or even heard of.The games list is all given to you in a tile format and you just scroll through the whole list of console and arcade games. Some never actually released in the US.Games normally play in a stretched-to-fit format, which I didn't really like. But luckily you can adjust the screen size at the menu to the original size the game was released on. Which I highly recommend doing, stretched games don't look that good on larger screens. I've attached photos of what both look like.There is an option to map the buttons on the controller to whatever you like, but I did not really use this feature as I was okay with the default settings after getting used to them.The AC cable was a little short for my liking but nothing an extension cord can't fix. The controller cables however are really long, so don't worry about sitting too close to the TV. Comes with a decent length HDMI cable too, in case you don't already have 10 lying around the house.Overall, I highly recommend it. The amount of games alone (over 90!) is already well worth the price.

Pros
-90 Licenced games just $60 dollars.
-decent emulation both sound and visual
-Good game selection (pack with some STG gems)
-Come with pair of controller and the directional pad is very responsive and accurate. The directional pad is flat but it is very responsive and less lag. So, don’t waste money to buy the Hyperkin Scout USB Controller it’s spend me $20 USD and I’m quite unhappy with it. (the Hyperkin Scout controller is just “OK” with PC gaming, but I feel it introducing input lag when I using it with Retro-Cade, and the input lag is unacceptable to me. Also, the Scout controller incorrect registered with X & Y button when plugged with retro-cade, and it is not firmware upgradeable. Some youtube review saying the Hyperkin Scout so premium so solid so blah blah,,, phew)
-universal AC adaptor.
-box art, printed manual.

Cons
-the HDMI / image output is not very clear.
-ugly console, looking cheap

Overall I’m very satisfied with Retro-Cade and I recommend to all jp STG fans.
