We are all familiar with the popular NES and SNES system the RetroDuo. We fell in love with that system when it was first introduced four years ago. The same company that brought us the RetroDuo has now taken it a step further.

Introducing the new RetroDuo Portable. This RetroDuo is like none before it because of its incredible possiblities. The most noticeable difference between the RetroDuo is the fact that it is a portable hand held gaming system!

Hey, that just happens to be the amount of time I am at work all day . The features of this system do not end there.

The system comes with two controllers and the ability to hook up to any television for playing these classic games where ever you go. Maybe you are also all tired out of NES and SNES games. RetroDuo has also implemented the possibility of playing Sega Genesis games with its new RetroGen Adapter (sold separately). So get out there and check out this amazing deal, and impress your friends with how in tune you are with the classic gaming world!

We all become nostalgic when we bring into remembrance Nintendo’s NES and SNES. We float back in time to better days, with less worries. When games were made for enjoyment vs making money.

NES USB adapter

Retro games have held a special place in our hearts ever since we were a kid. Well, its probably because of the fact that we were a kid why these games hold a special place. No gamer kid alive today would settle for the horribly uncomfortable controllers that the NES had but there is something special about them to the rest of us who remember staying up hours playing Ninja Gaiden or Zelda.

Some of the legendary and largest franchises in video games today can trace their roots back to the NES console. It came out during a time when video games were beginning to decline and it basically slapped the market in the face to awaken it once again. Personally we prefer to play NES games on an emulator now because we don’t have the cable adapter to plug it into our HDTV. With a computer, a few MB of spare hard drive space and a NES USB adapter we were able to basically recreate the NES experience on our Windows 7 machine. Some of our fondest childhood memories involved playing games like Final Fantasy and E.T on the NES console thinking “wow these are the greatest graphics ever!”

OK so we might have lied about that last game because as I recalled it was pretty god awful. Still, we’re not kidding about hte NES occupying some of our fondest childhood memories though! To recreate that today, all you would really need is a classic NES controller (you can find them online), a computer that has a USB port (um, you’d have to be pretty old school not to) and a Nintendo USB Controller Adapter to connect both pieces of hardware. Just plug all 3 together and voila, instant childhood memories!

While we’re on the topic of childhood games though. Do you guys have any advice on beating Battletoads? It has been an epic lifelong struggle to beat that game and I’m still not past the 3rd level!
