Paladone Nintendo NES Cartridge Retro Drink Coasters for Gamers - Officially Licensed, Featuring Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and More Classic Games, Set of 8

These took quite a while to arrive, but once they finally turned up I was very happy with them. The cartridge designs look great in person and they're a fun little piece of gaming nostalgia to have around the house. They work well as coasters but also look good as part of a gaming setup or display. The delivery time was my only real complaint, but that was a shipping issue rather than a problem with the product itself. Overall, they're a nice little gift for retro gaming fans and I'd happily buy them again.

Never reviewed a cardboard mat before. Surprisingly strong solid and robust, the front and back are nice and smooth and if any liquid or the bottom of a cold glass gets on the top of the mat it's very easy to wipe off and there is no damage to it. Really surprised by these. I only bought them for nostalgia purposes but use them as a coaster for my cold drinks. Really good and good retro prints. My only gripe is the prints look washed out and faded, They need more exposure and depth and color. I hope they make different ones then I shall buy..

So, today I am reviewing the NES Coasters by Paladone, a fully authorised Nintendo product. It features 8 different coaster designs based on NES classic titles, which are the following; Super Mario Bros 1- 3, Donkey Kong, Metroid, ExciteBike, Duck Hunt and my personal favourite The Legend of Zelda. Taking the shape of an NES cartridge, the front of the coaster designs are great, a very good quality printed finish, but I did notice that the rear print of the coaster was almost quite faded and didn’t have quite the same quality of finish - a very minor gripe. This coaster set is absolutely jam packed full of fun and nostalgia for 80’s or 90’s kids - and would make a perfect little gift for that age group - I know that I would most definitely appreciate this sort of gift. All in all, a great little product that would be a welcome addition to anyone’s coffee table, studio or office space. I waited to do this review to see how durable they would be with multiple uses and much to my surprise, they've shown no sign of wearing at all. Lastly, you definitely can't argue with the price (at the time of review) at a little under £6.00, I would even go as far to say that this product is a bargain.

Great presnt for xmas

Even though they are cardboard they are playing very well. A quick wipe after use and not letting them sit with wetness stone the base seems to be working. The picture quality is perfectly acceptable and the shape is accurate enough. Obviously it's smaller than an actual nes cartridge. Well worth buying for the nostalgia.

When i read a review saying that was cardboard i thought theyll be rubbish, but there made pretty strong like hard back wood worth the price

The design is fun and nostalgic, but the coasters are made of cardboard, which really limits their durability. They look good at first, but they won’t hold up well to regular use or moisture over time. Fine as a novelty or decoration, but not ideal if you’re looking for long-lasting drink coasters.

These are great, a throwback to a previous time. The design is flawless and there's so many to choose from. Many reviews state "They fall apart" etc but I have put these through their limits. I've had dripping cups, fresh lemonade with ice, bowls of cereal and much more. They've stayed together completely fine, no falling apart, easy to clean up and the print stays completely intact. I'm sure over a couple months I will start to see some wear and tear but you get so many in a packet that it's no bother. 10/10 purchase and will be buying again if I ever make it through all of them

J'ai connu les cartouches NES dans mon enfance. Je ne suis pas nostalgique, mais ça me fait quand même quelque chose. Ils sont en carton, mais c'est de la qualité. Plus petit que les vraies cartouches mais autrement très similaire. Les jeux représentés sont: Metroid, Donkey Kong, Duck Hunt, Excite Bike, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, 2x Super Mario Bros 3

EN liège, le dessus imprimé semble imperméable... mais clairement je ne vais pas boire dessus :) Le rendu est vraiment bien. En geek collection de vieux jeux Nintendo c'est un truc sympa à avoir. J'en achèterais surement un deuxième pour boire dessus :p

Got this for my son he loves them. They are very cool.

Están geniales! Para ser solo portavasos si están un poco caros... Pero no cualquiera los tiene en su casa jaja

Supercoola
