Super FC16-Go Super Nintendo Portable Review

[Old_Skool_Fool]

Hey classic gurus,

We just finished up some review action on Yobo's new Fc16go handheld Super Nintendo and what to share so finer points on it as well as give you a visual of what you can see,hear and expect!

Take a look:

I'd like to hear any questions or feedback. I know a second model is coming out, but I was pretty happy with this one suprisingly.

We are currently trying to test out Super Famicom games with it!

I'm still watching it, but I like the review.
One suggestion: add subtitles. I have serious problem understanding spoken english from a not-live person (musics, movies, videos etc), so the subtitle would help A LOT.
I'm really interested in a system like this. I may buy one soon.

Totally, I will look into it for the future!

I was pretty satisfied as well, but I strongly disagree about the on-board d-pad. I think it stinks. It's too mushy and you have to really press it for the game to register. The wireless controllers are fantastic, though.

[[-Sentinel-]]

Really liked it.
I just missed a close-up on the screen, wanted to check the video quality on it.
And the small L and R buttons worries me.

[Urzu402]

Nice review, though I still am a little skeptical about buying clones.

[retroman]

nice. might pick one up.

[nickerous]

Screen really isn't all that great. It's ok, but a little on the blurry side. I haven't had a problem with the L and R buttons yet. Just the onboard d-pad. I hit it, nothing...I really mash it in, game registers the button press.

I did have the original Street Fighter 2 crap out on me. I wasn't even holding the system, but was playing with the wireless controllers. Reset the cartridge and played through the game fine after that.

I can understand that, but you are never going to have 110% satisfaction on a clone because it's just that ..a clone. So if you are substituting the clone for the real thing, then it's not worth it. However if you are collecting them for novelty and convenience of not having to lug around your originals, then it's always a good investment if the quality is somewhat there.

Well I have an original SNES, and I have a Nomad so I have a portable Genesis, I would like to have a portable SNES too, so the FC16-Go sort of appeals to me like no other clone does. Is there a incompatibility list?

[Akito01]

I've uncovered one small but unfortunate incompatibility. In Super Ghouls N Ghosts, the third boss is invisible. I'm guessing that means it's impossible to get beyond that point.

Sounds like a problem I have encountered with The Magic Quest Starring Mickey Mouse... Unfortunately it happens on all systems, clone or not. I think ill make a thread about this oddity sometime as I found that screwattack encountered the same thing and I would like to get some insight.

I tried it in the RetroDuo and it had the same problem. I put the game in my original SNES and thankfully it played normally. I guess it's like the Battletoads thing on NES clones. Maybe Capcom was doing something unconventional with Mode 7 on those SNES titles. It's a very odd glitch for sure.

We are working on the compatibility list. Right now we are testing Super Famicom games. However the unit out the box will not play Super Famicom games without modification to the unit or a cart converter.

No stereo is a problem. Got to love the fake Left/Right speaker grills next to monitor that do nothing.

I don't really know why the clone-producing companies keep the tabs on the unit. Do they think that the little plastic tabs are there for some other reason? My best guess is that Yobo (and others) keep the tabs there for safety reasons-- they probably don't want to be liable for people destroying the unit.

Or is it something else? Is there something other than those little tabs there to keep PAL & Japanese games from working?

A second model?

Already?

What are the changes that Yobo has planned for the next model??

I wouldn't put much stock in what he says. He has already been caught in a few lies over on the AtariAge.com boards.

Not to mention he stole my store's watermarked images that we took to use for his FC-16 Go on his store site and won't take them down after I asked quite a few times.

By the way I called Yobo. They currently have no second model planned. Although I have heard Hyperkin and Innex are working on their own.

Ah. I seeeeeee....

That's probably what he meant by "second model" ... all of the clone companies capitalizing on the current US market seem to be playing "me too" with every new release.

Stoneage Flamer is the mis-informed one. He gets misconstrued info from half way across the country. I work in Silicon Valley and speak to all the game manufacturers on a daily basis from Madcatz to Yobo to Hyperkin.

I was informed that their "second-model" is more of a revision, basically with the points I described in the video. For instance the bigger triggers and re-location of the AC plug. Though that is the basically the major revisions that I was told were coming down the pipe. I still feel like this unit is quality even without those revisions. Though they did not give me an exact date of when they plan to release them.

The tabs are there to stabilize the cartridge, though it would have been nice to directly put the Jap SFC carts in directly without a converter!
