It looks pretty cool, even if the console is smaller that the massive NES cartridges

[TrekMD]

That does look pretty good and the price is excellent.

Well, I ended up ordering this.  I had to get the red and white one!  The other ones are already gone!  I never had a NES, so this was cheap enough to take the plunge.

That one looks like the Japanese Famicom:



The black one was much nicer, shame.

I am guessing these are NOAC consoles so the emulation might be a bit dodgy on them, still can't moan at that price.

The black and silver ones, which looked nicer, flew!  LOL  At least I can now think of the fact that it is closer to the original Japanese Famicom.

Could do a review on it for the site

I need to get some games for it.  Looking for a couple on ebay right now.

This is a game I think you would really like:

I also recommend Ice Climber very highly:

Especially as these games were not converted to the other systems that you own.

Cool, I'll have to check into these.

i actually wouldnt mind getting a cheap Famicom

I am wondering if it might be better to find a NES multicart rather than buy several lose carts.  The question is, where to find one.  I searched in Google but can't really find a site that sells any.

Yeah to be honest I've never even heard of a multicart for the NES, at least not in the sense that you're talking about with real games on them. I have seen carts with multiple games on them but they are usually just clones of real games.

Apparently some do exist but finding them is the trick.  There seem to be plenty for the Famicom but those need an adapter to fit like a typical NES cart.
