Retro One customer review — Juliette, 5/5
★★★★★Customer photo

« Great product for retro fans! The console includes the classics but also some lesser-known titles, so you keep discovering new gems. On top of that, navigating the menus is quick and easy. »

Retro One customer review — Marion, 5/5
★★★★★Customer photo

« This console supports a crazy number of emulators: PlayStation, 3DS, every Nintendo console, Dreamcast, Megadrive… the list goes on! It's like having all my favourite consoles in one. Honestly, I'm blown away by the variety of games. Wow, I wasn't expecting this many possibilities! And delivery was super fast. »

★★★★★Customer photo

« The value for money is unbeatable. When you see what second-hand retro games cost these days, this console pays for itself in 5 minutes. I can't put it down. »

« The screen quality is impressive for the price. The colours pop, it's super bright. The console sits comfortably in the hand, even after a 2-hour Street Fighter session. »

Retro One customer review — Marie-aimée G., 5/5
★★★★★Customer photo

« So cool — I took it to the beach! Between swims everyone wanted their go at Mario Kart, even my mum joined in. The battery lasted the whole day, sand and sun included. It comes along on every outing now. »

Retro One customer review — Louis, 5/5
★★★★★Customer photo

« This console is simply brilliant! All the games come pre-installed, which saved me a ton of time. Compared to other emulation consoles I've tried, this one is by far the best. The quality is there, games run without a single bug, and on top of that it's super easy to add new titles. A real treat for retro fans! »

Every customer review sent in by email is published as-is, rating included — 4-star ones too. Here are the latest:

★★★★☆Console V

« Honestly great for the price, SNES and GBA games run perfectly and the vertical grip feels totally natural. I'm only taking off one star because the headphone jack sits a bit low, so the cable gets in the way a little when holding it with both hands — otherwise nothing to fault, it's a great little machine. »

Steven · 24 July 2026 · Console V
★★★★★Console H

« Impressive catalogue. I even found old Japanese arcade games I used to play on holiday as a kid. »

Hugo · 24 July 2026 · Console H
★★★★★Console H

« For the price I expected it to struggle a bit on the heavier PS1 games, but in the end it runs like clockwork. »

Gabriel · 24 July 2026 · Console H
