Should You Buy a Retro-Bit RES Plus NES Clone System? A RoXolid Review

In this video we review the new Retro-Bit RES+ NES Clone console that features A/V outputs along with upscaling to 720P via HDMI output.

Retro-Bit has made quite the name for themselves in recent years with their line of quality clone systems. Whether you're looking for a system that will play NES, SNES or Genesis games you'll likely find a solution from Retro-Bit.

The RES+ is a derivative of Retro-Bit's existing RES Retro Entertainment System but does update the platform with a new 720P HDMI Output, making it ideal for use on flat screen TVs. Out of the box it includes 2 controllers, Micro HDMI power cord and wall wart and an HDMI cable.

The 720P Clone NES market is getting more and more crowded each and every day and there is a lot of competition out there. As such the Retro-Bit provides a good value for the money, but leaves a few opportunities on the table.

Why it RoX
2 included controllers
$35 price tag makes it easy to justify
Very good games compatibility
Solid color pallette choice

What could be improved:
The audio, I'd give my copy of Zelda for an NES Clone that doesn't drop the ball on audio!
I'm not a huge fan of the controller, I don't like the convex buttons or the placement of the start/select buttons.
No A/V cables included

Would We Recommend You Buying It?
Sure, it is definitely not a bad system at all. The colors look good, gameplay compatibility is solid and at $35 it is a solid in vestment.
