About a week ago, I picked up the FC Twin. Now, what is it? In a nutshell it plays both old classic NES and SNES games. I have a good collection of old Super Nintendo games to play, and I picked up a few more old Nintendo games on eBay to check it out. Overall, it is a pretty nice machine – if you don’t pay too much for it.
First, I will give you my complaints.
Not all games will work with it correctly. Wikipedia has a list of a few games that you will have trouble with. I found on Contra 3, the bullets for the guns disappear every so often. It is also pretty ghetto when you pick it up for the first time. You expect it to have a little more “bulk” to it, but honestly feels like a couple of pieces of plastic slapped together.
Now, moving to the positives about the FC Twin, I really liked that this is two systems in one. Also, it comes with you standard red, white and yellow A/V cable, so no worrying about screwing an adapter on an off my HDTV. The controllers were a little stiff – but the system does work with the classic SNES controllers if you have a few laying around.
You can usually find these best on eBay, if you are interested in picking one up for yourself. When push comes to shove, it is a nice alternative – however I am still going to go hunting for both an old Nintendo and Super Nintendo. FC Twin just doesn’t recapture that Nintendo vibe very well. Call me nostalgic. I would give the system three freaky Mitchelaneous thumbs up out of five.
The new tool, 
The first PlayStation 3 game I got was Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. All in all, it is a good fighting game. Of course, it earned major points with my by putting in Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern (best super hero ever) but that is another post for another day.
