Absolutely, the Gamerz Tek clone has very high compatibility and will play Castlevania 3. It's not perfect (no clone is,) but it's probably the best option.

I bought the following:

150-in-1 Multi-Cart

Clone NES

Clone NES Zapper

All in all I've been pretty happy with what I got. The multi-cart has a lot of really great games. The clone NES allows me to play almost any cartridge and the Zapper works great for light gun games. The clone NES was cheaper at the store as the company that imports these is local to my area. I spent $15 plus tax but the other stuff I ordered online. I spent about $40 total. I also like the fact that this stuff is brand new instead of 30-year old electronics.

If you physically have games you want to play, then you can get a Cheap clone system: http://www.amazon.com/8-Bit-Entertainment-System-Nintendo/dp/B0161N7J2G

If you don't have physical games, you are then talking about using an emulator on your PC and downloading ROMs.

If you mod the wii, you can actually use that for emulation and download ROMs too.

Ninja Gaiden is a great game but SUPER hard to beat. It's classic NES where you memorize where each baddie comes from because it is always the same. But as you go and reach a new level, you have to begin memorizing again but die too soon. So much trial and error. Contra is super fun if you use the Konami code. Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start during the opening screen. Then you get thirty lives and two continues which also give you 30 more lives. But playing it without the code is pretty rough. Doing the code with a friend and not having to worry about random deaths is the best. One of the best NES games ever in my opinion.

Some games that I absolutely love: Mario 3, Jaws, Life Force, Mega Man 2 (it's the best one in the series), Zelda, Metroid, Bionic Commando, and Gunsmoke.

Side bar: If your NES acts up and gets sick of playing games you can replace the 72-pin connector inside the toaster but it is a pain. Also, don't blow on your games; the moisture in your breath only aids in oxidizing the contacts. Nail polish remover/rubbing alcohol on a q-tip is the way to go. Nevertheless, I got sick of fixing my system (it is VERY rarely the cartridge that is the problem) so I bought this giant piece of shit.

It works perfectly. I was shocked and still am. And the controllers are actually legit.

Thats what I got for now. Love your youTube vids. Keep it up.

So lets talk about this in 2 waves. Let me start by saying I am not a lawyer, however, I have researched this quite a bit, and am pretty involved in other legal things outside of this ;).

Emulators
In the US reverse engineering something without seeing the original is perfectly legal. If someone makes an emulator that runs nintendo games, but does not use any code from the original nintendo device they are not breaking any laws. Patents make this complicated, and also profit laws make it complicated. For instance if you tried to sell an emulator you likely would run into problems, because now you have copied a product (even though its not from the original) simply to make a profit, and now patents etc kick in. There also are parody laws that protect you in place as well, which ironically allow for generic brands of products etc.

To make it clear in the US you can even legally buy emulation machines, which are basically non-licensed emulators that run on the raspberry pi, or something like that and use a cartridge game (they don't take roms). These are 100% legal, and as much as Nintendo hates them, they can do nothing about them.

Here is an example of one of these machines
https://www.amazon.com/8-Bit-Entertainment-System/dp/B0161N7J2G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496427251&sr=8-2&keywords=nintendo+emulator

I should point out that all of this does not apply to PSX emulators which use the actual BIOS from the PSX machine. Supposedly these are likely illegal to have.

ROMS

So there is this long debate in the US about Fair Use laws. You can do some googling, as I am not the expert and its "complicated". The long story short is many believe if you buy something on a physical medium, you are legally allowed to copy it as a "backup". However, many don't believe this as well, and its never really been tested when it comes to video games. In short its legally "grey" but it should be considered illegal in my mind.

I think we both need one of these bad boys because old video games are the best and everyone needs to fuck shit up on some hella mario at least once.

I was wrong! Apparently there is one that's within your price range, manufactured by Gamerz Tek. Thanks to /u/accaris for their comment in /r/retrogaming for the heads up/correction!

With that said, it really looks like a direct copy of the Retron 1/Retro-Bit RES, so I have to wonder if it is a direct clone of those systems, but with the appropriate mod pre-applied during the manufacturing stage to ensure compatibility right out of the box.
