Okay so 3 years ago, we talked about the FC Mobile. It had a few problems like color swap, compatibility issues, and the button configuration was quite odd. HOWEVER...later that year, HYPERKIN released the FC MOBILE II and holllly cow! It fixed so much and then some! Let's begin!
The hat does NOT lie! It was "On like Donkey Kong".
Lovely bundle with accessories.
Comes with System, 1 wireless zapper, 2 wireless controllers, AC Adapter, and an AV Cable. You can find these for $55 or less on Amazon.com these days. The system requires 4 AA batteries for portable on the go fun. The Controllers need 2 AAA batteries each and the zapper needs 3 AAA Batteries! OUCH! Yet, I can't complain since they came with the system :lol Just be prepared if you want to use the controllers, but it's totally optional since I'm just focusing on the portable awesome-NES it really is.
Upon start up, I noticed the system was very loud with speakers crackling. It was accidentally on full volume. After adjusting this on the bottom of the unit, I was pleased with the matching colors that were not insanely screwed up like the FC Mobile 1, and the music matching up to what a real NES sounds like.
The Control setup is pretty comfortable. Sporting a similar look to a Super NES button layout and the d-pad is pretty responsive. I like the fact the reset button is safely placed away from the intense gameplay you'll be dealing with in this portable bliss. Hyperkin did a really outstanding job with testing this little beauty. So much testing it seems that it is actually compatible with one NES cart that gives every NES clone a freakin' CURSE.
I'm talking none other than DRACULA'S CURSE. It is due to the unique soundchip in the cartridge that makes it difficult for any NES clone system to play. Yet, this portable puts me in shock, brings up the ratings higher in my book, and much happiness to see and play a portable CASTLEVANIA 3 without emulation! A MUST have for collectors!
This is MegaDrive20XX saying, "This is THE portable NES that rocks your retro tube socks off! Now you're playing with POWER! PORTABLE POWER!"
I tested the following games on it:
1942
1943
CastleVania 3 Dracula's Curse
Contra
Super C
Contra Force
Super Mario Bros.
BAD DUDES
Duck Tales
KUNG FU
and I'll find more games from my graveyard to see how much damage this little badboy can do!
