These cables allow you to play your NES Classic Edition without having to sit right in front of it. And they seem to do the job fine, though I could swear that every so often, one of my button presses doesn't register. Could just be my imagination though. It doesn't happen often either way.

Basically, this tablet can easily replace your Windows computer as it runs Windows just like any normal laptop or desktop. The included pen is great for pinpoint selection of buttons, but works well with fingers too. Not much to complain about here. Maybe the onscreen keyboard misbehaves at times, but that's less of an issue if you just buy a physical keyboard for it.

Revisit the Mushroom Kingdom in all its side-scrolling glory in New Super Mario Bros. U. The revolutionary Wii U GamePad controller's capabilities make it possible for multiplayer action to be incorporated into this game in a way that few could have imagined. The Wii U GamePad even allows you to switch seamlessly from playing on the TV to playing on the GamePad so that your thrill doesn't need to be interrupted by someone else's need for the TV. Then, when Mario is nowhere to be found, it's up to Luigi to save the day — and boy is he up for the challenge. Featuring distinct Luigi physics, his unique slide is even more impressive and his high jump is even higher and longer to provide a gratifying gameplay experience in New Super Luigi U. Each replayable and satisfying course is full of new challenges and adventures, and there's no time to waste, since each course features a time limit of just 100 seconds. Switch it up and play as Nabbit, Luigi's new friend, who is invincible to enemies and obstacles. Level up your New Super Mario Bros. U experience with more than 80 brand-new courses in New Super Luigi U, which takes place in the same world, but doesn't require the game to play. Welcome back to the addicting, bizarre and amazing Super Mario Bros. franchise.

More of the same, but plenty of it

If you've played a New Super Mario Bros game before, you know what you're getting here. There are of course new levels in the main Mario campaign, but this addition of the game also has a campaign just for Luigi too, and in this version, the overall layout of the map is the same, but the levels are shorter and more challenging. Oh, and Mario isn't playable, a second player can choose to be a near invincible Nabbit, and Luigi's controls are modified to so he has less traction but better jumping skills. Overall, this package is a great bang for your buck due to the second campaign, though it's not exactly doing anything truly different from the Wii New Super Mario.

There's not much to say about this flash drive. It works as expected and it seemed to be a pretty good deal to me. $10 for 32 GB and USB 3.0. Can't complain.

This is a game that could have been quite fun, if antiquated. Unfortunately, Nintendo chose to force players to use the TV to fly and the Wii U Gamepad to aim. This makes the game much more difficult to control than it needs to be. You would think that you could still aim using the reticule on the TV, but it doesn't line up with what you're aiming at. The only reason for this seems to be that, again, Nintendo wants you to use the Gamepad to aim.
Aside from the annoying control issues, the game is very short, maybe a few hours long. Do not buy this game unless you don't mind paying full price for something so short, or if you enjoy replaying stages to try for high scores.
Honestly, I only bought this game because there was a deal that included a Falco Amiibo. Otherwise, I would have skipped this game entirely.
Oh, the game also includes something called Star Fox Guard, but I've never actually tried it.

A new age of ruin lies ahead, and impossible decisions and unbelievable consequences await in Zero Time Dilemma. Salvation and freedom are the ultimate goals, but how much of your humanity will you sacrifice in your quest? With diabolical new puzzles and animated story sequences, Zero Time Dilemma pushes the boundaries of interactive storytelling. Interact with a robust cast of characters, and immerse yourself in the narrative with English and Japanese voiceovers. Your decisions carry weight and the consequences affect the gameplay to provide multiple endings for endless replayability. Are you ready to plan your escape?

This is the third game in the Zero Escape Series, which means it's mainly about following a story driven by player choice. Unlike previous games in the series though, the story here is broken into fragments and the player is often not told when a fragment is occurring. Interspersed throughout certain fragments are escape-the-room puzzles to solve which help to freshen up the rest of the game, which mostly boils down to watching cutscenes and making decisions about what the characters should do in certain situations. The decisions are important though because they can lead to different story fragments.
The story will be more meaningful if you've played the previous games in the series, especially Virtue's Last Reward, as this game picks up after the cliffhanger from that game. It does a good job wrapping up the whole story, but I still had some issues with certain aspects of it.
All in all though, I enjoyed the game, and I feel it's incredibly unique, even though I think it has its flaws.

See Kirby like never before in Kirby: Planet Robobot. This cute little pink puffball suddenly goes mecha when he finds mysterious armor that'll help him defeat ruthless invaders from destroying his home world. Smash through virtually anything that gets in his way, shape-shift and save the world in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

I have largely been growing tired of Kirby games since they don't change very much, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I felt like the addition of the mech gameplay helped things feel more fresh. I also thought the level of challenge went up a bit compared to previous titles, which is good in my opinion. It's about as different as it could be while still retaining the traditional Kirby gameplay. It's nice that they included a number of extra gameplay modes as well.

Maybe I Scratched It Too Hard?

Normally, I have no problem with these eShop cards, but with this one, after scratching off the back, I had trouble reading the code. I had to attempt entering the code multiple times before it worked.

Don't Buy It for the Smart Features
on July 9, 2016
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm no expert, but the picture quality and sound seems good for the price. What annoyed me initially though is the smart features. The TV has the most common apps built in, which is great, but you actually have to wait 2 - 3 minutes after turning the TV on before it will let you get into one of the apps. And once you're using a particular app, it's not exactly the most responsive device I've ever used. So, if you're an impatient person, you're going to hate using this TV's apps. That aside, I found that the TV's screen mirroring is excellent, so I end up loading videos on my phone and mirroring them onto the TV. This works flawlessly and saved me the hassle of having to sign in to all my accounts on the TV itself. I also discovered that if I connected a bluetooth headset to my phone, it allows me to watch video on the TV and audio through the headset, which is great since the TV doesn't have a headphone output, just an optical audio output. Obviously, this setup isn't going to work for everyone, but it works well for my needs.

You buy this when want to be sure your screen is protected and never want to buy another screen protector. This one has a lifetime warranty.
On the downside, the edges of my phone screen are rounded, so this protector doesn't fit perfectly and dust tends to collect under the sides. It's also very expensive, but that's why there's a warranty. I have also heard that it does its job well, being the thing that cracks instead of your screen.

Is it blurry view, not sharp enough?
There tends to be some blurriness around the edges of the lenses. I think that's just how the lenses work. The center is sharper, but you will probably notice that the resolution isn't super high. But if it were, the phone would be far more expensive.
