Exceptional customer satisfaction

FLORIAN BARONE

I am writing a review first of all to thank the company's president because after a minor issue that was resolved quickly, I received my console in very good working order. What is incredible is that you are instantly taken back to your childhood because the games are of very good quality, the console does not take up too much space, it is very discreet, and there is plenty to do. You have to know how to say when a company is reliable, and I confirm that the company Nostal Gear is totally reliable. Thanks again for your follow-up. Deserves 5 stars and more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Many games, in French and fluent. It is certainly an investment, but it is worth it!

Hi everyone, I want to report that the console works great. I received it within the estimated delivery time (the console and the 4 controllers) and I was super happy to receive it. I spend my time replaying old Pokémon games, it makes me so nostalgic 🤩

Product matches the description, very easy to play, very easy to handle, just waiting for the new pro controller which is out of stock and so they told me they would send me the controller as soon as they receive the stock, thanks again for everything

Recommendation for 100%!!

I can confirm that the NostalGear is the best retrogaming console on the market!
Ergonomic, the layout, the handling, the machine's performance and its diverse selection of games, I have no complaints!
You can feel the passion for retro gaming from the creators of the NostalGear, especially when you see the main menu with all the game collections!
The games run perfectly (special mention to GTA on PC, DC, PSP, and PS1 games, everything was smooth).
Another special mention goes to the French 100% customer service team! They’re incredibly responsive to your inquiries (they’ll answer your questions by email within 24 hours at most) and, on top of that, very friendly (thanks again, Kevin, for your quick response).
In short, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend them to you!
A big thank you to the NostalGear team!

A time machine

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! Being able to dive back into my childhood video games. What a gem this console is!!! Small, easily portable, and super fast startup. A few controller connection issues sometimes, but the team sends you a tutorial for every situation that could cause a problem. Customer service responds quickly and honestly. I recommend buying this console and find its price justified. I'm introducing my kids to my games (Resident Evil, PES, GTA, and so on) thanks to what I call the video game DeLorean. Thank you to the Nostalgear team.

Lots of good games

Lots of good games, but an inconsistency regarding the controller buttons during navigation. It takes some getting used to, despite a few hours in I still get lost in the menus...

Otherwise nothing to report, the system works well, the controllers are responsive, and the display keeps up well.

For a zombie FPS game like The House of the Dead, a revolver accessory would be the best! Easier to master than with a controller. And it would work as a stylus for the DS.

Excellent and surprising

Great respect for this team of enthusiasts.
This console is surprising.
Squad Pack 4 controllers ordered for my children, the goal being to offer them a wide range of games and game types.
We are not disappointed.
Young people have a big preference for games emulated on PSP and DREAMCAST. Very beautiful, very smooth, very interesting.
Also, the communication is excellent.
Thanks to the Nostalgear team.

Image and sound quality ok

Picture and sound quality are okay, a few bugs when playing two-player. The internal save states and cheat codes are very convenient for certain games. Overall, a very enjoyable console.
