How? Ive read that it is, but never really much of an explanation, the reason Id want an fc twin is because its here locally.

If the things I've read are correct (and if I read them correctly) the Retro Duo has better compatibility and is smaller than the FC Twin if you're going to use just one side of it in a portable. Both are pretty small if you just want it to play games on. How much would it cost to ship it to Canada, cause you said the FC Twin is $70 there and the Retro Duo is about $40 on Amazon (depending on if you want the black/red or white/blue). Now, I've never shipped to Canada, but it wouldn't cost $30 (the difference in the cost of systems) to send it to you, would it? Worst case, someone could take it out of the original packaging to put it in a smaller box for you. Just a suggestion...
There is no black or white but rather a million shades of gray...

Retro duo is 40$ us which is 50 canadian and probably close to 20 to ship which is 25 canadian so it would be around 75$ canadian roughly.

That's right.... Stupid exchange rates. Sorry then, still an option, but a little less viable now if you can get a comparable system for a little less, locally.

Actually, it might. You'd be surprised how much people rip you off if you try to get something to Canada. Cheaper shipping IS availible, people just rip you off and pocket the difference.

In any case the Retro Duo has better compatibility and slightly better quality. The FC Twin is built better and argubly looks nicer.

Bought the FC twin, along with CIB star tropics, and a few other games.
