Kellys Rambling Reviews: Comparing Chinese fake Knockoff clone NES Classic Edition to the REAL THING

I've purchased the very latest 'chinese knock off' of the NES classic Edition and it's damn convincing if you dont have the real thing to compare it too! dont get ripped offf! see my review to spot the differences!

[@xalalalala]

Your friend must be really happy about the way you handle his NES Mini. "Boxes are identical..." Bam he drops the box... 😂

[@badazzboxer]

That one loaned to you, you are just banging it around on that rough table, holy shit!

[@Elecyview]

The person who loaned it to me was fliming, he didnt seem to mind :)

[@guybrohski4161]

Subscribed. Hey, can you provide a link or info to where you purchased this knockoff please?

[@MonoMauro1975]

Just to let you know the box from the first release is the same as the one from the right, no esrb rating and the nintendo seal of quality was there on that release back on 2016

[@CSXOhioRailFanPlus752]

They are both made in China

[@carlosdurant8936]

If I'm correct; I believe the sticker barcode S/N CU202496144 on the clone version reads the same on every box.

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

Carlos Durant You're correct.

[@everdale8920]

One giveaway you never mentioned is that the screws on the plug of the controller is "silver" on the knockoff and black on the legit (atleast that's what it looks like in the video).

[@PepsiManX360]

The ESRB logo was added on the 2nd batch.

[@uroborous01]

i think what is going on is: the same manufacturing company that Nintendo contracted in china to produce the nes classic mini, decided that because Nintendo decided they only wanted to produce such a hugely limited amount, and because there is such a high demand for these, the manufacturing company decided to make more of them and sell them without the blessing of Nintendo. honestly i could not care less. i will happily buy the knockoff and say #fucknintendo because of the out right venomous middle finger they have been giving to their loyal fan-base for so many years. ever since the wii.

[@hanchiman]

They been giving the middle finger to their customers since the beginning of N64 to be honest...

[@uroborous01]

Hanferd yer kinda right... They had the option of going optical with the 64. But due to load times they opted for cartridge. Sadly however they ended up eating a big fat one because they didnt considder storage space/ multi disk games/ publishing cost, etc. It cost them final fantasy 7. And that was the beginning death nell for the 64.

[@hanchiman]

Well reason is that they were to "protective" with their fear of being pirated with the CD games like Sony Playstation. Thus their games was expensive but already out dated against Sony. Sony dare to look past the Pirates and instead selling license for 3rd Party software companies where the software company can buy their own CD print instead of relying on a monopoly like Nintendo who force the 3rd party to buy their "chip". Also I remember back during SNES 16 bit days in mid 90's like 1995. A Super Nintendo Game cost almost the same price like a Neo Geo game in the 90's... it seriously cost 70 Euro in that time. 70 Euro for one Super Nintendo game in 1995. Can you believe that? Nintendo rack up the price and made an excuse of "Shortage of Computer Chip" which was total bullshit. I am glad Sony fucking destroyed Nintendo with their CD technology and at least reasonable price games.

[@hanchiman]

I have a friend who know someone who made Ninjabread man. Just say that the game bombed in a way, but what interesting is that he told me how Nintendo still practice their bullshit policy. Nintendo force 3rd Party Software companies to buy their "Disc" made by Nintendo, they buy the certain amount so that they can print the game, meanwhile they also have to pay a percentage and license to Nintendo for each game they sold. Anyways as I said, the game bombed, so Data Design (who made Ninjabread) said that they have shit tons of unsold units and not to mention have to pay the rent for a storage area for storing the games. With other words Nintendo, even if the game sold badly, Nintendo themselves didn't get hurt much from a bad game from a 3rd Party.

[@echelon2k8]

Even the authentic NES classic is still made in China, right?

[@ixnine]

“I don’t buy Chinese knock-offs, I only buy real authentic systems made in China.”

[@blarghblargh]

I like that the "nintendo land" song you think of is mario 2

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

Where did you buy this from? I want one please.

[@10MarcoBLZA]

HI, goog video, where i can buy the nes mini clone ?

[@TheSUPACORBIN]

I just made a nintendo account real quick to see if my points card was valid. It was... Thank you kind scalper for being legit.

[@georgyorgy2]

The Liteon USB adapter is legit. That's the same one that came with mine.

[@TheJJPlace]

Where did you get the chinese knockoff?

[@MrLaloman18]

All Chinese folks do is get their hands on a real legit version and make an exact molded copy! Most are able to obtain legit paperwork and adapters and only copy the main system to save production money. Remember, workers that work at these companies that build the original systems have access to extra, and over production of accessories and parts and have the ability to get those things for cheap or free and sell them to replica makers to resell to fools around the world!

[@CoalCracker85]

What they do is buy empty boxes I sold my empty box when it first came out for $60... yea $60 for an empty box

[@johnmecca9008]

Another big difference I noticed on the knock off controller was the gray bars right above and below the start and select buttons were not aligned with the edges. The legit controller was aligned perfectly with the left and right edges of those gray bars. Check that out. I wish we would have gotten an actual preview of the knock off and legits systems turned on to compare.🤷🏽‍♂️ But anyway, good video.👍🏽

[@Fridelain]

Is that a fig tree behind you?

[@3um3le3ees]

Any chance you could take a screwdriver to the fake and make a video showing us the internals???

[@Elecyview]

I have taken them apart, i do have pictures of them taken apart.. its too bad i cant add some photos to this video easily..

[@3um3le3ees]

if you don't feel like making a video, is there any chance you could provide a link to the photos?

[@ivexXturbo]

I bet your friend was low key pissed off at you for slamming and scuffing the fucc out his original box and console on the table like that.

[@BruceRichwineJr]

Not all boxes of legit consoles have the ESRB rating on the front. The only real way to tell is actually firing the thing up. If the language setting and picture settings don’t work then it’s pretty much a fake.

[@heilong79]

China has been doing nes/famicom bootleg systems for more than 30 years so they should be good at it. They are both just emulator machines either way.

[@welcomeback9036]

He kinda reminds me of ralph macchio in the karate kid if he would have had facial hair

[@franciscomartinez3129]

Where did you get it from? I wanna get one for my brother-in-law as a gag gift! Link please!

[@Elecyview]

a link of what? where i bought it? I dont have a link, it was through alibaba, and it cost me 85$ no one is gonna wanna pay that for this thing, (it's kinda junk).

[@MagnoliaGumbo333]

Francisco Martinez I would buy it...but not for $85

[@GoobNoob]

Yeah the originals don't have E for everyone. I just checked mine.

[@jrios662]

Dude you had the remotes the wrong way because the one you said that's yellow was the one you were saying that was real and the one you were saying was not real was actually the one that was grey and looked exactly like the Nintendo one

[@butlergames]

Can you prove it's not just a second run of genuine Nintendo products?

[@Elecyview]

Yes it is a knock-off as it was purchased outside of the usa from china.

[@Official_Twix]

I'm glad Nintendo started making these again. It's selling out around my area. Well I did wait 8 days to get mines through. I went, and got mines yesterday from my local Walmart after I saw that my local Target had sold out along with many other Target's that's kinda close to me. I checked my local GameStop as well on the 29th of June, and they sold out that same day. I called them multiple times after that to see if they had restocked, and they wouldn't even answer their phone. (That's one of the reasons why I hate GameStop.) I should've went to Walmart in the first place. It's much closer to me than Target. Only a block away from GameStop, (Which I hate Target too) and they had plenty in stock. You can't buy them online at Target, and Walmart (Well not where I live anyway.) Best Buy is too far from me, so that was out also. $59.88 was the price for it at my Walmart. A few cents cheaper. Everyone is hitting up GameStop, Target, and Best Buy. Walmart, and maybe even Kmart should've been a choice also. Kmart is too far from me as well, so I don't know if they still have a ton in stock. My local Walmart does though.

[@non-procollecting609]

Fake has the Nintendo entertainment system name skewed. Fake has 5 titles per screen. Fake has full screen option. Fake has "please wait" display when loading game. Fake has generic HDMI cable. Real has it's name printed straight. Real has 4 titles per screen. Real has crt filter, 3:1, and pixel perfect as options for screen display. Real has games load up real time. No wait time. Real has Nintendo brand in HDMI cable. And real does not have a messed up display music interface when the music loops.

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

Malabon Casual Gamer I know someone who ordered some fakes recently and "Nintendo Entertainment System" is printed completely straight. It looks almost 100% legit, but when you play it, you can tell it's fake.

[@non-procollecting609]

D Smoov yeah, the best way to see if it's a knock off is to boot it up :(

[@DonRobertson82]

the newest knock offs have basically perfected the software too.. no more loading screen and can change screen display options as well as no messed up music.

[@MarcosFull]

Don Robertson Are you absolutely sure?

[@Halberen73]

Is the real one made in Japan or China?

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

The Knight Of The Wind The real one is also made in China

[@trevorphillips2868]

I am now optimistic about getting a SNES Classic! But I hope that I can buy the real one and support Nintendo.

[@themystx2]

Peter von Feldt Or just play it on your pc for free.

[@trevorphillips2868]

Amazon is now selling the NESPI Rasberry Pi Case and I had to order one because its just too charming. People say the quality is amazing!

[@trevorphillips2868]

Nothing like unboxing the official NES Classic. It reminded me of 1989 when I got my NES for Christmas.

[@axelgear666]

The fakes don't load hackchi, there's the real test!!!!!

[@UnsealedGames]

Awesome vid! Thx for the insight!

[@chs5h4]

I was cringing this whole video...throwing that beautiful box all over the place and dropping it...I would never loan this guy anything lol

[@elamriti]

can you hack the clone and add more games

[@vip-design]

This video would be 10/10 if you would add screenshots (like 5 seconds or so) to the video itself from the small differences.

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

VIP-Design ..or if he could provide a link to where he bought it from.

[@AngTheHunter]

Canada uses esrb rating

[@markianclark9645]

life span minutes..oh dear..mines still working fine after a month thankfully..got it direct from china of course..has the save states too..apparently some knockoffs do not..i paid about equal to the original retail price of the genuine nes classic..theres the differences you pointed out..plus annoying splashscreen music slowdown..we may get hackers cracking the software sooner or later if we're lucky..specs

[@ms.crystal8280]

What the hell is up with the table saw in the background? unbelievable! seriously?

[@Johansens1025]

i have the first nintendo nes

[@anonymouschicago6142]

Great Video i just Subscribe to your Channel

[@user-rs1990]

Contrary to what you may think, you are not seeing double! The faker has no ESRB rating on the front. That's why you should add '100% Real McCoy' to your search fields to avoid being tricked! Also, I think you should do a weight test on the console itself.

[@BruceRichwineJr]

RS 1990 I haven’t seen a single unboxing or actual retail box with the ESRB rating on the front of the US version. Even on Nintendo’s own site it doesn’t have it. The HDMI cable doesn’t have Nintendo written on it either.

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

RS 1990 So many misinformed people (no offense). The legit North American NES Classics were produced with two versions of boxes. The first few months of production used the box without the "E for Everyone" logo on the front, and the final production run does have the "E" logo. I know this for sure because I have a few NES Classics bought directly from Best Buy, and they are for sure legit and there are two box versions. I've play tested them and they're definitely official Nintendo made. I also own a couple of these knockoffs, all of which do NOT have the "E for Everyone" on the front. My point is YOU CAN NOT NECESSARILY TELL IF IT'S A KNOCKOFF BY LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE BOX. In fact, of all the knockoffs I've seen I can say pretty confidently that if it DOES have the "E for everyone" on the front, it's probably legit..
