Poor customer service

Poor customer service, tried to get som information about a 5 days delay on delivery, but no useful or helpful information. And it was definitely not their fault! So that was just my problem.
The product itself is maybe a 3,5/5 not all the liste games is on it, one of the back buttons is a bit stuck and sometimes a button press will trigger the button next to it.
But at this point I don’t even care taking contact to the company.

I recently picked up the Nordic Retro…

I recently picked up the Nordic Retro console, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I turned it on, it delivered exactly what it promises: pure, nostalgic fun without any of the modern hassles.

One of the standout features is the **plug-and-play experience (turn on and play)**. There’s no complicated setup, no downloads or updates, and absolutely no Wi-Fi required. It’s a true **No Wi-Fi gaming device**, which makes it perfect for travel, relaxing at home, or even quick gaming sessions during breaks. You simply power it on and jump straight into your favorite classics.

The console comes with **15,000–20,000+ preloaded retro games**, featuring **games from classic systems** including **Game Boy Advance** and **Sega** titles. For anyone who grew up in the golden age of gaming, this feels like rediscovering a treasure chest of childhood memories. There are no cartridges to lose, no extra purchases needed—everything is already built in.

I also love the **portable & lightweight design**. It’s compact enough to slip into a bag or pocket, yet sturdy and comfortable to hold during longer sessions. The **long battery life (8–12+ hours on a single charge)** is a huge bonus—you can play for hours without worrying about constantly recharging.

Another feature that truly enhances the experience is the **save & load functionality**, which lets you pause and resume games whenever you want. That’s something we all wished we had back in the day! It makes even the toughest classic games more enjoyable and manageable.

Overall, Nordic Retro strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and convenience. It’s an ideal **retro gaming console** for anyone who wants a simple, reliable, and fun way to revisit the classics—or discover them for the first time. Highly recommended for gamers of all ages!

Amazing retro gaming console, pure nostalgia with zero hassle

Amazing retro gaming console – pure nostalgia with zero hassle

I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this retro gaming console as much as I do. The plug-and-play experience is exactly what it promises: turn it on and play, no setup, no downloads, no Wi-Fi, no updates, and no cartridges to lose. It feels refreshingly simple compared to modern consoles.

The device comes with 15,000+ preloaded retro games from classic systems like Game Boy Advance and Sega, which makes it a fantastic Game Boy alternative. The save & load functionality works great and makes old-school games much more enjoyable to play casually.

What really impressed me is the long battery life — I easily get 8–10+ hours on a single charge, which makes it perfect for travel, commuting, and breaks. The console is portable, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, and the no internet required aspect is a big plus.

Another huge advantage is the value: it’s a one-time purchase with no hidden costs, no subscriptions, no ads, and no additional game purchases required. Compared to a Nintendo Switch or other modern consoles, this is much cheaper and far simpler, yet incredibly fun. The frequent 43% discount makes it even more worth it.

Lastly, customer support was quick and reliable, which is always reassuring when ordering online.

If you love classic games and want a handheld retro console that just works, this is an easy recommendation.
