These have been around now long enough that very few problems have been discovered. I still would think twice about using one in an original SNES but an original NES should be no problem, they don't produce as much heat as SNES games. I have bought tons of full price cartridges in my day and since many of these games with the battery are now dying on us, it is an awesome way to get hard to find cartridges that are often dead if you can find them. I have no qualms what so ever with using them. I can't afford to pay 30 to 40 bucks each on a bunch of 30 year old cartridges like you have to for some of these. I do still buy originals once in a great while just to have an original copy of a game I once owned long ago. It is totally amazing how far technology has advanced.
