Everyone On Separate Screens? Two Players, One Big TV.
Big TV + Two Players + Zero Setup = Game Night. Pair a second controller and your kid talks trash.

Every Gift You Gave Him Is In A Drawer. Not This One.
One Gift That Works For Every Gamer. Dad holds it like he never put it down.

Meant this for my nephew's birthday. Ordered a second one the next morning.
I figured cheap and mushy. The D-pad clicks. My thumb remembered stuff my brain forgot.
We plugged it into the TV Sunday. My husband and I played two-player until 1am like we were 14 again. Kids came downstairs to see what the yelling was about and stayed. We do it every Sunday now.
Your old console is dead in a box because it won't plug into your new TV, and phone games slide out from under your thumbs. The Playback puts that era back in your hands: classic arcade and console systems built in, a 5-inch IPS HD screen, a real clicking D-pad, face and shoulder buttons and dual analog joysticks in a console grip that stays comfortable for a two-hour session. Run an HDMI cable to the TV, pair a second wireless controller and it's two-player on the big screen. The 3000 mAh battery gives about 5 to 7 hours a charge over USB-C. For you, for the kids, and the gift nobody else thought of.

Meant this for my nephew's birthday. Ordered a second one the next morning.
didn't think the buttons would feel right
I figured cheap and mushy. The D-pad clicks. My thumb remembered stuff my brain forgot.
Game night is back
We plugged it into the TV Sunday. My husband and I played two-player until 1am like we were 14 again. Kids came downstairs to see what the yelling was about and stayed. We do it every Sunday now.
perfect for my dad
Dad is 68. No app, no account. He just turned it on.
Screen is way better than I expected
Brightness goes low enough for bed and high enough for the porch. Volume buttons are easy. Battery got me through a long flight with some left.
my 8 yr old took over
Bought it for me. Now I wait my turn. She's better than I was.
Straight from our Facebook, tags, questions and all.
ok I'm 44 and I thought this would be a cheap toy. it's not. the D-pad clicks like the real thing and this week I beat a level I couldn't beat when I was 11 🙌

No. One HDMI cable from the console to your TV, pair a second wireless controller, pick two-player. No app, no account, no setup screens. The cable and second controller aren't in the box; any standard HDMI cable works.
Yes to both, it's turn-on and play with brightness and volume right on the device. Kids figure it out fast and older players don't need a manual.
Over USB-C, from any phone charger (cable not in the box). The 3000 mAh battery gives about 5 to 7 hours of play per charge.
Classic arcade and console systems are built in, so the eras you grew up on are there the second it powers on, and the TF card slot lets you add to the library. Turn it on and start playing.
