I need a new nes console. My 3 units I have seem to of died on me (for prep for pax) Anyhow, do these suck? do these rock? Should I just get an official toploader? Should you kick me in the balls? (hopefully no)
Any comments are welcome. (but lets keep the crotch kicking to a minimum)
(sorry about the H-scroll rape)

I have heard some people say it has compatibility issues, but with 99% of the games you want to play it should work as far as I know.
I have just about every great NES classic and they all run flawlessly, as far as I can tell, on the system.
It runs all these just fine:
(that's zelda II tucked away on the far right)
I like it, and I appreciate the easily accessible Turbo buttons, for some of my shmups.
It's inexpensive and comes with 2 controllers. It's lightweight and durable and compact. It has original NES controller ports, so all your old controllers/accessories (Zapper) work just fine on it. Good image quality, too.

At that price, I might as well get an official one
And in before VC since my nes collection is what I would call "very nice"
Any comments or reviews of either one?
From what I've seen, I don't know that any of them work properly with Castlevania 3... something about that game makes emulation a bitch.

It's not that ... the Yobo and Nex both use a "Famicom on a chip" ... which is basically a multi-core processor where each core is a different chip from the original NES/Famicom motherboard. (The chips used in the famicom were actually well known standard chips, and the patent expired a year or two ago.)
The incompatabilities come from timing issues because the chips are much smaller and the pathways between them are much shorter.
Also, Castlevania 3 used some crazy mapper to handle sound which might not interface properly with the altered chips.
EDIT: can we fix the h-scroll rape in the OP?
i used to know but i forgot now?
something about the original hardware patents running out maybe?
Exactly.
Strangely enough, it doesn't run Castlevania 3 but it does run Akumajou Densetsu with the extra sound channels. In general the sound is a bit off compared to the original NES, but it's still decent.
That's honestly my biggest gripe against the Yobo: my inability to play Castlevania 3.
That, and the fact that you will occasionally occur odd emulation issues. For instance, my Yobo clips off a small portion of the screen in Super Mario 3.
Otherwise though it's an excellent and reliable solution.

Their website says they do:
I've yet to have a problem with Super Mario Bros 3, though.
As far as sound, some people say that the sound is 'different' than the original nes... I'm not sure if this is true or not, because I can't tell the difference if there is one. If there is indeed a difference, it is perhaps due to the audio hardware on the new chips in these machines synthesizing differently. But as far as I can tell, it's practically indistinguishable.
For all the games (see above) I've tried, I've had no issues with video output, color, or audio problems. It seems to work great.
If you're an extreme purist, you'll just need to get an original NES. They're not too too expensive. If you like the Yobo/NEX or whatever, because it's small and sleek and comes with 2 nice controllers, then get one. They're fairly cheap. I just don't know about CV3, but rest assured probably 99 percent of NES games run fine on it

I just found this article on fixing your old NES and I think this might help out others. I might try it here soon. http://www.classicgaming.com/features/articles/nesrepair/
The 72-pin connector is usually the first thing to die on an NES, but it cheap&easy to replace. I guess you could repair it with a screwdriver like the article says, but they are not hard to find.

Only snag is you can't use original NES controllers or peripherals.
..why haven't we seen more "SNES redesigns" as we have NES ones?

Where can I get one?!
I ordered my Yobo on ebay. Should be here in a few days. I'd pick one up locally but the only place I know that would carry it would be clearly overpriced. Anyhow I just hope it doesn't suck too much
An official one might be better for me in the long run
