I just got the Retro Duo in the mail yesterday and finally got to relive my treasured SNES days:

The controllers are pretty solid although the D-pad does stick sometimes but the other buttons are solid. The system itself is rather light but feels of quality. Overall, great purchase, although I'm still waiting to grab the originals but this is great for saving space with both systems in a single box.

I just got a Retro Duo too, and I'm pretty happy with it. At first I thought the NES part was broken, but it ended up being some of my carts needed cleaning.

I can't say I like the controllers though, the d-pad is just plain clumsy. It's still the best best as far as getting an NES clone, not to mention the ability to play Super Famicom games. Just try and find a used SNES controller somewhere, and you're set.
