This looks like a rebranded CoolBaby. Look up Rerez review on it if you're really interested in buying this console.

I'm surprised Drop is openly selling hardware with illegal software on it... why open yourself to a lawsuit from Nintendo?
Anyhow, these things are junk, don't waste your money. If you want retro gaming, get the Mini-NES and Mini-SNES from Nintendo. If you can't find those, take a look at RetroPie. A RetroPie setup with 8bitdo bluetooth conrollers will set you back about $90, but it's a WAY better experience. RetroPie does not come with Roms, and you are toying around with the legality of having Roms when you download them... but it's the same legal issues you would have when buying this thing. I'm really disappointed in Drop.

Well "Drop" is officially a crap site. It previously hosted some good out of the way items that might have been from a start up or were actually a wholesale "Massdrop" for cheap. But now its just rip off/knock off unlicensed crap and click bait posts with product images and prices that don't match...
It's time to drop Drop.

I bought a "retro gaming console" off of Woot.com 6 months ago...It was called RetroConsole w/ 600 Games, 2 Controllers
$39.99. When it arrived, it was branded as a "Cool baby." It looks very similar to this one, in the sense of 4 buttons on each controller, and the shape/size of the pins for the controller cords.
Yes, it has 600 "NES games." Keep in mind that it DOESN'T have Legend of Zelda, or Final Fantasy, or a couple of other favorites. But wait, "How does it have 600 games, then?" Because it has 8 different versions of games like Super Mario Brothers. "What, 8 different versions?" Yep. The normal version. And then 7 different cheap japanese or chinese hack ports that use different sprites for the main characters, and that's it.
When you boot it, the first screen you see is a selection screen, offering you Chinese or English. Upon picking English, there are some tiles you can select, which offer you shortcuts to favorites, (example is the mario brothers shortcut, which offers you mario 1, 2, 3, and all of the weird hacky ports of them) or you can pick the full list of games, which isn't alphabetized, meaning you have to page through 20+ screens to get to the game you want.
I bought it because I am a retro game lover, but I ended up letting my Niece & Nephew play Mario brothers on it. All in all, I'd recommend downloading and using an emulator rather than this, but if you're extra lazy, or only want certain games, or this is for a child, then go for it. For what it is, it DOES work and is of reasonable quality, just don't expect to be able to load your own ROMs, or play certain games, because if they're not included, you can't play them, and the "600 games" number is misleading. a stripped-down barely playable NES version of Mortal Kombat doesn't really count, y'know?
For those who want still MORE of a review, there are plenty of YouTube videos for the NES console clones. I can't find the one I watched in my history, but the one I did covered the fact that there were "weird" games and attempted backports of newer games on here.
Sorry for the harsh review, but I believe in managing expectations. If you want this as a novelty, then go for it, you can play Battletoads with Rash and Zits having Mario & Luigi heads, or something. If you want it as a true replica of NES games and their gaming experience, you might be disappointed.

Go look up reviews on this on youtube, you aren't going to get quality out of this, majority of the games are knock offs, and there is tons of screen tearing. If you want something like this with solid quality expect to spend top dollar, otherwise emulate it.

Clearly unlicensed. If you get 600 NES games, they're violating all kinds of copy write. And if it's not that, it's 600 knock off clone games that you've never heard of and don't wan't. This thing is too good to be true, if it even looks that good.

What company made this? Is there a list anywhere of the games that are included? Is "Retro Gaming Console" the name of this model? I want to learn more about this product before I decide whether to buy, but I don't feel like there's enough information to start with.

Matt596I have had two retro knock off game systems and they were both disappointing. Great for young kids since they usually are not familiar with retro games so screen tearing or sound lag are not annoying to them. If you want a REAL retro system buy a real remake by Nintendo. Drop should NOT be selling this knock-off stuff.
