HDMI only $29.99 for Retro Nintendo Gaming! Awesome Value!
I love the HDMI Cable for Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo 64 N64, Super Nintendo SNES Console (3-In-1) from LevelHike and it is only $29.99 to work with all 3 consoles! One of the great decisions LevelHike made was packaging a separate HDMI cable, instead of having it built all-in-one - this allows you to use another HDMI cord should this one ever fail or if you have one you want to use. This also comes with a USB cord to provide necessary power for the cable to work on your TV or monitor. These older consoles may or may not have enough power to generate it to the cable, so I was able to plug in into my TV's USB port. If your TV does not have a USB port, you can plug the USB end into a phone charging plug to provide power.I used this on all original, non-modded hardware. I used this on an Super Nintendo Entertainment System, a Nintendo 64, and a Nintendo Gamecube. The colors for me pop a lot brighter on the tv for each of these systems, without washing out the colors, or oversaturating anything, video and picture looks sharp, and reading text is so much clearer. I have heard about "Reds" being too red or too bright, but I did not notice that on any of my playthrough on any of the game I tested; I think it may just all depend on how the brightness and other TV settings are set on your TV. There is virtually no lag from the controller to the screen. This was tested on a 2016 LG 55B6P OLED TV and a TCL 55R625 TV.Going from composite on an HDTV to an HDMI connection is night and day. The composite connection is much darker, blurrier, less aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and it is not an output HDTVs want. They were meant for CRT TVs and monitors and that is where they should stay. Using this 3-in-1 cable makes games look and play much better on HDTVs. A 16:9 and a 4:3 switch is built-in. Mine was defaulted at 16:9, but I quickly changed it to 4:3 to give it the original aspect ratio for most of these games, especially on SNES and N64. 4:3 aspect ratio works and looks great!This 3-in-1 brings back that feeling of what we remember them looking like when we were kids, playing them for the first time. For those that never got the experience when these consoles and games first released, you should enjoy your time as well. Just plug and play, no modding necessary! I love the value I get out of this cable and to be able to play my games on original hardware and without having to have a cord for each system. We know how annoying it is to have too many cords or to get cords tangled and having to fight with untangling them. Here I can just put away or set aside on console and plug the cable into the back of the next console.The Super Nintendo games look great! There are brighter and sharper video and images. This cable does not mess up the audio. A lot of retro gaming clone consoles will mess up and make a lot of audio not sound like their original hardware counterparts. The audio sounds great like what you will remember when playing these games through composite cables on a CRT TV. I played Super Mario Bros through the Super Mario All-Stars collection, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters. They all look great and respond well to the controller. I used an original SNES controller while playing these games. Virtually no lag (virtually being, these consoles were designed in mind to use on CRTs with their original equipment, so going from CRT to HDTV, there is going to be a slight delay.)To me, I noticed the biggest difference on the Nintendo 64 going from composite to HDMI. I think that has to do with the 64 only ever having a maximum resolution of 240p and the lack of RGB support, so having the cable convert a signal and upscale the video and image to a 1080p or 4K screen makes a huge difference. Going from a 16-bit SNES to a polygonal N64 is where I noticed the biggest difference using this cable. Playing games on here look much clearer - a non-modded Nintendo 64 will never look pristine, but it is so much more worth playing and looking at the screen with this cable. I can read text much easier, see fewer jaggies, have brighter colors, things are sharper, and I just enjoy my time playing games. I used the Retro Fighters Brawler 64 controller when playing these games with this cable.The Nintendo Gamecube is "new" to me. I have very little experience playing games on it, as I played more on Xbox, Dreamcast, and some PS2. I really only dabbled in one of the Mario Party Games back in 2005 and nothing else really. The Gamecube never got the love from me, but I am now glad to have one. Only a couple games I have, so I am very unfamiliar with it. I have both of the Star Wars Rogue Squadron games; they are highly recommended from people and Rogue Squadron II from me. It is taking time to get used to the controls and the gameplay, but the video quality and sound quality is beautiful. Again, seeing the text go from blurry to so much clearer is so much easier on the eyes and that blurriness translates into other assets within the game, not just text. I played using the original wireless Wavebird Controller.I look forward to continue playing games this way and will look to obtain more LevelHike products in the future. I would like to try out their cable for the Genesis, as I actually only can play using the original cable plug. As I keep playing, I hope to update this review in the future with more positive updates. This is only $29.99! It is a great value for anyone looking to get back into the retro gaming with the original hardware or whether this is your first time. Yes, there are much more expensive options out there for cables or modding that can help improve the experience you get. However, that is up to the individual if you want to spend that much more (anywhere from $70 to at least $400, depending on your system) that may "break the bank." It's an awesome, affordable, and just plug and play option to use, which is something we can't say with most new generations of consoles. No downloading updates, patches, or installing the games. Do you have 10-20 minutes? Play a round of Mario Kart 64, see how far you can get in Super Mario Bros, see how many of The Foot you can beat up in Turtles in Time, blast your way to destroy the Death Star in Star Wars and be the Hero like Luke Skywalker. Have fun! Enjoy gaming!

Great adapter
This cable works wonderfully to make my GameCube work with an HDMI connection. it’s a little inconvenient to have to plug another thing into a power source but I can’t argue with the results.

Great product, no issues!
I bought an adapter from Walmart a few months back and it didn’t work at all. These normally have a lot of issues. This one works fantastic, but not only does it work great, it has a lil button on the side so I can switch from the full modern TV screen to the old squared look. This is perfect.

Awesome Product and Customer Service
Device works as soon as you plug it in, and the toggle switch for 4:3 - 16:9 aspect ratio is a nice touch. Wish it came with even a cheap USB wall charger (device can't be powered without one) but that's a minor gripe.Had an audio issue with the first one I got, but the seller sent me a second one free of charge. Very friendly and responsive service.

Does NOT work for SNES game system.
Tried to resurrect my SNES game system to play simple games on it for my young son. Unfortunately this unit gave me the Blue Screen while playing the background audio only. No big deal I though, must need the USB auxiliary power to make the adapter work. Nope, that failed too. I set up a return and ordered a different unit that arrived today and worked flawlessly. Doesn't need external USB and provides a nice picture and sounds great. Due to SNES limited screen resolution it looks better on my son's 32" TV through HDMI compared to my man cave 65".PROS:- HDMI output for newer TVsCONS:- Failed to work for SNES game system- Blue screen- Requires USB power to function
