Arcade TV Stick and Arcade Console: Plug & Play

Arcade TV stick and plug & play arcade console for your TV

An arcade TV stick or a plug & play arcade console connects to your TV over HDMI: SD card with preloaded OS, two controllers or two joysticks, zero setup. Plug in, power on, play — the whole family can join in, from the living room to the office.

TV stick, arcade console or arcade machine?

Three formats, one "plug in and play" idea:

• The TV stick: the simplest and most affordable option. It fits in your bag and plugs into any TV over HDMI.
• The arcade console for your TV: a panel with two joysticks and six buttons per player, connected over HDMI. Perfect for two players, with no screen to carry.
• The suitcase arcade machine: built-in 17 to 22″ screen, two joysticks, and a format that closes up and travels with you.

Which games on an arcade stick or a retro arcade console?

The libraries cover the major emulated systems — NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Neo Geo, PS1 — and the CPS arcade systems that defined the arcades. This is a true turnkey retro arcade console, not a DIY project: the SD card is ready to go.

Up to 30,000 games

A library sorted by system, with wired or Bluetooth controllers depending on the model: a turnkey arcade console at a friendly price. Looking for a gift that brings kids and adults together around the TV? This is it.

At home or on the move?

The stick and the console are built for the TV and for playing with others. To play on the train or in bed, check out our retro gaming handheld consoles instead. Not decided yet? Read our guide to the best retro gaming console.

The idea is unbeatable in its simplicity: plug in over HDMI, pick up a wireless controller, and up to 30,000 retro games show up on your living room TV. Ideal for playing with a friend, introducing kids to gaming or hosting a nostalgia night, with no console to configure and no memory card to buy. Depending on the model, you get 4K output, two controllers included and game libraries running from the NES up to the PS1 — sometimes beyond. It's the friendliest way into retro gaming, and a good match for a handheld console when you want to play on the go too. Plug in, power on, play: retro takes its place back in the living room.
