RetroTINK-2X MINI

Price

$99.99

The RetroTINK-2X MINI takes the same core technology that has powered the rest of the TINK2X products and packages it in a simple, compact, and easy-to-use design.

The MINI is an excellent choice for retro gaming enthusiasts, particularly those with Nintendo 64 consoles. It includes a bundled S-Video cable specifically for the N64, offering the best possible image quality from an unmodified system. The 2X-MINI is also compatible with PAL N64 consoles that support S-Video using the included cable.
