Mobile II Console I purchased my FC Mobile II from www.gametronex.com they were very helpful and the ordering process was very pleasant. They also have very good communication. At first I was a little disappointed with this system. I figured that I could play TSB on the go using the 2.5 inch LCD screen. However the screen is so small, some games might emulate well, but definitely not TSB. The players and text is just too small for a 2.5 inch screen. However this system does emulate TSB very well on an old projection TV. I have a 32 inch RCA that worked very well. I would say the emulation rate would be about 95%. Some of the audio sounds didn’t transfer over as well, but not a big deal. I love the wireless controllers, the D-pad could be better and the buttons should probably be rearranged, but it’s a nice wireless solution in a small package. I did try this system out on my 50 inch Samsung 1080p DLP TV and found the emulation wasn’t as good. It seems the older technology works best. I think at the end of the day, the regular NES system is certainly a fan favorite, but for a small portable solution the FC Mobile II works nicely. When I’m at home and some friends come by, we play TSB ROMS with Nestopia on the computer with USB controllers, since the emulation on the High Def LCD is fantastic. I think I’ll be keeping the FC Mobile II system in my car, this way if I’m out and about with some friends and have some time to kill all we need to find is an old TV. I didn’t try the “Light Zapper” gun as I don’t have any “Duck Hunt” or “Hogan’s Alley” cartridges. The cost for the FC Mobile II is $55 shipped on eBay from GameTronex in California. Shipping was super fast. If I had to rate this system on a five star scale, I would say it earns a solid 3.5 stars. A larger screen, better emulation and better controls would boost this unit to a full 5 stars. But, on the other hand, it plays 20 year old cartridges…what do you expect? |
