Twenty-one NES games are listed as not compatible, including [[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse|Castlevania III]].

The manufacturer claims however that a custom-designed IC, different than the [[NES-on-a-chip]] is being used, allegedly "built on the NES algorithm." | + | Messiah Entertainment, Inc.'s official compatibility list states that the system is compatible with 97.25% of NES games released in the US.

The system uses built-in wireless technology to play with Messiah wireless controllers without requiring additional hardware connected to either controller port. Alternatively, original NES controllers and accessories can be used with the Generation NEX using the 2 ports on the front of the machine (including the NES Zapper, 4-score four player adapter, NES Advantage, and other accessories). | + | The Generation NEX also has built-in support for Messiah brand 2.4GHz Wireless NEX Controllers and a Wireless Arcade Stick.

| Patrons of the website NES Dev forums claim to have demonstrated that the NEX system incorrectly wires the cartridge port in a way that could potentially damage NES carts played in the system, as well as the system itself.
