Also, small correction. The NES release of Castlevania 3 does not have extra audio channels. Only the Japanese version does as the Famicom has the pinout to accept more audio channels.

5:40 just curious as to what Auto play is. Would this be to have the game automatically boot into the cartridge when you turn it on or is it something else? That Quadralords game looks fun, reminds me of Warlords on the Atari. And as far as Nintendo claims are concerned, I highly recommend using scanlined footage for thier games. I did a let's play of the original Star Fox on SNES, claimed if it is capture as is from an emulator, but adding scanlines it had no claim, even with audio present. Not to mention IMO it looks better that way since these old system game designers had designed around the limitations of TVs at the time. As far as the Castlevania comparison, the AVS does appear to have better colors going on, but the aspect ratio appears to be off, did you adjust your settings for that? As far as the special sound chip, it's actually only in the Famicom version, the NES version sadly doesn't have it because for whatever reason Nintendo of America blocked out the ability to use the special sound chips. I actually watched a video with a guy that talked all about it recently. Makes me want to hunt down a copy of the Famicom game since the added chip makes the game sound phenomenal.
@RGT85
@RGT85 7 жыл бұрын
The autoplay boots the game without the menu. I did have to adjust the the ratios to get them side by side so it got a little skewed. lol

First off, good review. I got my console yesterday and so far I'm loving it as well. I was also thinking that the flicker is a bit worse on the AVS, I haven't tried to adjust any setting though. I have been playing Bettlejuice this October and there is definitely more for that game. Funny thing, the first game I tried did not work, thought my system came in defective. Had to "clean" the game but all others (NES & FC) work first time. Lastly, I do have trouble with my 8Bitdo receiver & controller connecting to one another on this console. I am unsure why or if its the AVS or 8Bitdo product. Keep up the good work.

AVS replaced the NES in my living room and I have my Famicom disk system set up. Game changer. One thing I found weird is it changes some of the colors in the Namco Star Wars game.

13:17 Just wanted to correct you on a small detail you slipped up on. The US version did have a special sound chip in it that did have more audio channels (MMC5) but the NES never had the capability of taking advantage of that, so only the Japanese version used those extra audio channels from another chip (VRC6) on the Famicom. It sounds like in the background audio of your video that it is indeed the US Castlevania 3 so it does not have any extra sound channels. Nonetheless, great video, great review, great side by side comparison and thank you for showing video footage of the AVS. I'd like to try out an AVS someday, it's most certainly better than what the Retron 5 has to offer for playing NES games in HD.

Great review. I have the Anolog NT and the retron 5, but I hate the later so I'm looking for an option for my kids room (he has an NES but no CRT) I think this is perfect for him. The price is right too.

All in all looks really damn nice, the built in features through the menu are pretty damn cool as well as the fact that it's basically a region free Nintendo. Wish the fucker was a bit cheaper though but if it comes down in price I'll try to scoop it up whenever

Awesome picks for games man. Felix ,Castlevania 3, and Kirby are definitely in my top 10 nes games. Kid Dracula is #1 on my list of famicom games to pick up too. System looks pretty nice. Looks like a good quality piece of equipment. The colors on Castlevania did look bettter on it as well. I don't see myself needing one, but I have a couple of friends who will be very interested.

I don't have a big collection, but I am a collector and love these type consoles. I do have the Messiah Generation Nex, but this looks way better. I have a CRTV for all my consoles and just picked up a new tv for this console. Can't wait to get it and add more games to my NES and Famicom collection and play them on this!

I have the AVS and the RetroN 5 both...I can assure you that both work/play great. AVS has a slightly better picture quality because every square pixel is represented as it was back in the day....however, the RetroN 5 smooths out the square pixels to "round" out all the corners so to speak.

@@RGT85 Quite an impressive product for such a small operation. This thing has the best FPGA based NES core I have seen out of all the other options out there thus far, even better than the Kevtris core imo. Has better accuracy from what I have seen, specially in the sound department.
