I know this unit is a knock off and imported. Knowing this I still ordered it. Why? Because I collect the games, I don't trade them or sell them, I keep them. Presently in our house we have 2 XBoxes, 3 Dreamcasts, 3 PS2, 1 PS1, 2 Gamecubes, 2 Nintendo 64, 1 Atari 5200, 2 Sega Genesis 1 Super Nintendo and over 500 video games, we wanted a newer game console that was more compact. I miss on the purchasing the small factor of the NES when it first came out. The only thing I wish was that I never parted with my ColecoVision and Atari 2600. That said the FC (Famicom) / NES (Nintendo) Console - Top Loading Video Game System (USA Version)works flawlessly. I purchased as a gift for my 12 year old who's a video game whiz but has never played the old NES games, the NES that we have the loading hinge made the games not load. I went to the attic and found my 30+ NES games, connected the unit to his TV and he's the happiest kid in the world. Playing those classic games are a welcome treat for a kid who's used to the newer game systems. He has a PS2, a Dreamcast, PS1, and a Gamecube. Even my nine year old daughter is using the new game system. So if you have a lot of NES games lying around and not a system to play them with, why buy a used NES, when this FC/NES (Nintendo) Console - Top Loading Video Game System (USA Version)works just fine. I strongly recommend this unit.
