Website Doesn't Work
Bought this for my boyfriend who wanted to try and play NES games on it, which it says you can do. He goes into the website to do so and it is a Chinese company that hasn't updated the site in 2 years, and doesn't work to download what he wants. I guess it still works if you want to make your own game, but you can't try to play old ones like it says you can. I lost my order number so I won't be able to return it to get money back sadly, and this website doesn't let you get help unless you have an order number.

Poor instructions
Getting the software downloaded was harder than it should have been. Also, you do need a computer to download it onto - not web based, so we couldn't use his Chromebook from school. Once that was done it isn't too hard to use, but getting started was an unfortunate struggle. Also, since the game controls are on the base, not sure how useful it is in watch mode. Again, maybe we just haven't figured it out due to the lack of instructions.

10yr old granddaughter loved it
My 10 year old granddaughter loves this gift. She has been obsessed with it since she received it. She wants to be an imagineer so I thought this would be a good test for her.

I plan to give this to a boy who is visiting us in San Francisco from Taiwan. Will he be able to use the device and visual editor etc. when he goes back home to Taiwan? Will it be accessible from Taiwan? I know there are restrictions on some websites. Thank you!

Can an iPad be used for the programming? Can multiple games be designed, or old ones deleted to make room for newer ones once the user is more experienced with programming?
Verified reply from Itamar
Great question! A personal computer is recommended for the software required to code. The console may be rewritten over and over with new programs.

How are games uploaded to the device, is constant WiFi/internet connectivity required? Is there a link to the instructions manual and device specs available?
Verified reply from Itamar
The games are coded on a computer and then transferred onto the set :^) Wifi connectivity will be required for the widest variety of programs.
