The Generation NEX arrived at my house today in an unassuming brown cardboard by delivered by FedEx. Upon opening it I was in awe at how small it is.
Packed in a clear plastic casing that holds all of the goods together, it looks awesome. Famicom on top, NES in the front, if you're looking for a replacement for either of these machines, then the Gen NEX is the way to go.
Built in 2.4 wireless controller support, and dual mono/stereo audio complete the package.
I've throwed almost every game I have at it, including an oddball 110 in 1 nes cartridge, and it worked even better in the NEX than it did in my toploader NES.
Small, Sleek and Powerful, the Generation NEX WILL fulfill your 8-bit gaming needs for years to come.
It also seems to be really sturdy in construction.
My toploader feels more flimsy than the Gen NEX does.
All of the A/V contacts are plated in gold, and next to the power adapter socket on the back of the console is a sticker that says "Charging Port", and not to remove it unless the Messiah wireless controller manual says to. I assume this means that the NEX can charge up the wireless controllers that are available from Messiah as well.
IF you spent many afternoons after school playing NES and Famicom, then you're going to love the NEX!
If I could give it 10 stars, I would!
I don't have CastleVania III Famicom, but the american release functions perfectly.
