Side by Side Comparison of: Nintendo vs dreamGEAR

Very satisfied. Everything was absolutely new, sealed and clean, and valid for use in USA. It included the console, the sensor, a remote, a remote rubber jacket (thank you!), a nunchuk and AV adapter and cable.Thank you Amazon.

I use the Wii to get the family up and moving on long dark rainy days. So much better than sitting in front of a computer. We had our first Wii for 5 years of regular use before it gave out. If this one lasts as long I'll be very happy.

Came with a few scratches and scuff marks, but it was shipped really quickly and works so well! I knew as I was getting closer to moving out of my parents' house, that I would definitely get my own wii. And I'm so glad I did <3 My parents decided to give the white wii to my older sister, so I wouldn't have had a wii at all when I moved out.

I ordered this because I wanted to play my gamecube games on it. I read a bunch of review that said it was not backwards compatible and could not play any gamecube stuff. This was COMPLETELY WRONG! I can easily play all the gamecube games I own and I have had no problems, every piece that I expected came in the perfect condition. There was no Wii Sports disc included, but I did not buy this Wii with the intention of getting that game so I did not care. Just keep in mind that YES this product CAN BE USED FOR GAMECUBE GAMES!

Yes we are a little behind the times. I think it is good sometimes to hold back and not buy everything the minute it comes out. We save a lot of money doing it that way. The system was brand new and we are having so much fun as a family playing this together. I wish we had it this winter when we were stuck in the house for a month.

I was pleasantly surprised to get my first video console game.Surprised, because it was used,but after unpacking it and hooking it all up,I went online with it and purchased a game at the nintendo store.I have been playing all night like a kid. I'm 68 years old so I'm starting into the console world a little late lol.Everything was in great condition,and I look to a long time of having fun with it. The buyer got it to me in just a couple of days. I will certainly buy from him again.

One of the rest retro toys out there. My 8 yo loves it and all his friends think this is so cool. The machine works very well.

Lots of fun games to play. Screen is small but easy to see.

Great picture quality, surprising really. A good gift idea for a brother-in-law you don't know what to buy. ;)

Got this for my hubby...he liked it. Its on his desk at work.

its awesome yes small screen buttons do stick but its cheap and does have good clone games#1 1942#2 spy hunter#6 zaxxon#23 gforce#34 wack-a-mole#76 defender#79 load runner#89 centipede#93 mappy#96 digdug 2#110 xevious#125 battleship#127 arkanoid#130 space invaders#134 galaga#142 kaboomand thats just the ones i found so far so don't let the negative reviews stop you

It is used so accepted it. The one controller had sticky left on it from tape, therefore dirt was stuck all over it. Wish the whole system would have at least been cleaned.

I bought this at a discounted price online and it works, so I can't really complain. The only thing I'm unhappy with is that it was missing the SD card slot cover (replaced for about $2 US on the Nintendo America store, in the "refurbished" category) and it has "pry" marks around the body of the unit. It was obvious that someone had opened the console, or at least that it was attempted. It still plays my games though, so whatever.

I am not 100% satisfied because it says that woo sports is suppose to be included and it is not... I just received it and I'm upset because had I not bought another game I wouldn't be able to play it. This was a xmas gift for my husband and now I have to go buy wii sports.

The only reason I don't give it a 5 star review is that the box looked a bit aged like it had been on a shelf for a while. Also, the box indicated that the Wii Sports game was inside when it wasn't. But, to be clear, the Amazon posting never promised a game.Other than those two things it was perfect. I read other reviews about foreign Wiis or European plugs but none of that was true for us. It was new, American, works great and was an AMAZING value.

My wife owned a Wii for years and unfortunately we were forced to replace it because it kept overheating. I bought this one because of the price as it was about half of what you usually see them priced for now. The console works perfectly will all regular peripherals and U.S. discs and such like any Wii would. I say that because what was not detailed when I bought this product is that this is actually the UAE / Saudi Arabia edition Wii. We were worried when we saw it that it wouldn't work in the U.S., but it does just like a regular Wii console. If anything its novel that we now have some Wii console directions that are written in what appears to the Pashtun Dari and some other middle eastern dialect.

I wanted to stream Netflix onto my TV, but I don't want WiFi. My daughter suggested this, and it works great. My wonderful husband ran a 50 foot long Ethernet cord (through floors and walls and such) from my DSL modem and I connected with a "DuaFire Nintendo Wii USB Enabled Lan Adapter. Don't know what that is, but it works great. I guess there are games also: haven't gotten into that. (Wish it had a manual, but I figured it out.) You can also stream Amazon Prime, but you could accidentally buy a whole lot of stuff!

Many useless games, but also some good ones. In summary for the price you get some OK games to play while taking a break in your office. Don't expect any real arcade hits in this one but also worth the price to kill some time.

Got it for my Son. Entertaining!

This machine is great! High quality construction, great price. I wish it would allow you to install real arcade games though. These are all home brew style. While they are entertaining, it's nothing like the real games. If they would come up with a version that accepts a memory card to play like MAME machines that would be perfect!Screen is nice and bright, with great resolution. The built in games will keep you entertained for many hours. Looks great sitting next to my collection of mini arcade games.For the price, you can't beat what you get. Great quality. I can't figure out how they sell it so cheap!

I have not opened this or tried it out yet as it will be a 'historical' gift for my son's birthday. He was born in 1985 and these kind of game were 'the boss' back then.

My husband loved it but needs directions for certain games...he'll give you five stars for some directions.

8 yr old very interested, however machine malfunctioned ,screen was cut in half vertically, cant play games any longer.......not cut with any sharp object, you can only read half screen is what I meant

Ok

It did not meet my expectations. I was all ready to play my Dance Dance Revolution game. When I was surprised to find out that this Wii does not have any game cube controller ports. NOT EVEN ONE! The Wii I was replacing had FOUR. Any games that I have that need to connect through the port are now worthless. Who made this ridiculous decision? And why? Other than that, it's awesome as usual.

It only lasted 5 months.It stopped working on July 29th 2015After a while I went to the internet for help and got to a free support web site whereI was afforded a solution to my problem and it worked. My Wii is working again.Why doesn't Nintendo include the fixes in the instruction manual?

the box arrived like it had been kicked around and beat up. The product all looked good inside however, there was no stand and only one remote.

The unit was operational. The unit came with all the accessories that was mentioned; however, 40% of the wires were in bad condition, nearly cut. The unit and accessories were filthy and smelled of cigarette smoke.

Does not work with game cube and did not come with the Wii game that it was supposed to come with. Other then that it works great and has all of the other items included.

i don't know the 99% of the games :P

It's ok my son used it for about 10minutes then was bored

A good recommendation for children to engage in for relaxation and fun. Both my kids enjoy playing and exploring all the games in 1 awesome machine.

Cool concept, a little difficult to play the games due to size of controller.

Super tiny

It's fun, but really what I wanted. I searched for a donkey Kong retro came and this one shan't have it

I purchased this brand new because I was unsure how reliable a refurbished one would be. The Wii games work perfectly and the console doesn't overheat. Yesterday I tried to play a GameCube game for the first time, and the system would not accept the GameCube disc. I tried several games to see if it was an issue with that disc, and it would not accept any discs. Unfortunately it is past the return/replacement date so there is nothing I can do. I paid the extra money to avoid issues like this, and I am disappointed that half of the function I wanted does not work. The system was in new packaging when I received it and it did look new, but since the disc drive won't accept GameCube discs, I am not so sure anymore. Very disappointed.

Bought new. Was not new.

We thought we were purchasing the backwards-compatible Wii game console as pictured, but the one we received had a different photo on the box and is NOT backwards-compatible for GameCube. This has to go back, and we need to start the search all over again. Needless to say, the kids are very disappointed.I don't know what the story is. . Some people seem to received backwards-compatible models, and then some, like us, do not, all under this same listing.

It didn't come with everything, it didn't come with the game or the power cord other than that it works perfectly for right now.

It arrived a few days ago and I learned that it does not play GameCube games nor does it have a port for GameCube controllers. Everytime I put a GameCube game in, it spits it back out. I'm very upset with this purchase.

Watch out. This arrived with a 2 c plug not a standard plug for a U.S. household. Also, it advertised coming with free wii sports resort and it was not in the box!

arrived not working. we returned. it turned on, but once you selected the game you wanted to play, the screen just went white

Really way too small and doesn't even has Pacman (I don't remember if they advertise it, but it's not there). Plenty of games of really low level graphic, complexity etc,, some of them hard to understand. Maybe use it as a decoration, the way Superman makes a cameo appearance in every Seinfeld episode:).

The photo on this item is a bit misleading. This is not a mini-tabletop console, it is more of a micro unit. There is almost no way you can play with the tiny buttons and joystick and viewing on the micro screen is difficult at best. If you are wanting a table-top arcade unit, this is not it.

The screen is very tiny and I did not even recognize the games. Very disappointed. I was at least expecting to see some game names I recognized...instead I saw things like: Checkers, Chess, poker, blackjack

This product is way too small. It is not worth the money. Shouldn't be more than $10. I would not recommend this product.

Son ordered it on accident. I tried it, its made of cheap plastic and very flimsy. it is very light and it will not hold up to a small child, the joysticks are very loose and wobbly, and the lcd screen is only viewable from strait on.

I gave this to my children as a Christmas present and we did not get it hooked up until after the return date. No matter what we do, it will produce sound! We have tried everything :(

Not compatible to my television return

Please be very careful buying a used electronic device. You will have to pay shipping both ways when it does not work. It is a lot of aggravation for no return.

Bought this for a gift. When it was opened to hook it up, every part of it was in Japanese. No possibility of English. Returning.

Do not trust this seller!! I purchased this product specifically wanting the original wii for use with my dance dance revolution and my older GameCube game. What I received was such a disappointment! It is a Saudi Arabia product and does not support any accessories! I trusted that the item pictured would be what I received! I should have listened to the comment warnings. I am so unhappy.. Be careful future purchasers!!!

IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE!!!I am SO annoyed that Nintendo hoodwinked with only select systems being BC. I wouldn't have purchased the stupid thing, had I known it was not a universal addition.

Did not work

Turned on and only white screen displays, has noise but still displays white screen.

buttons to small for adult but may be fine for a child

The worst ítem to buy.

Item arrived broken

A bunch of useless games. Not anything like the real ones. I kept looking through the 200 games. All garbage and nothing even closely resembling the real ones I grew up with. Names like "police dog lasy" , "rescue kuck " , "aweful rushing"-the names give no clue what the game is about. The games themselves are really bad. Don't waste your money.I got as a gift
