THE 400 in 1 PORTABLE RETRO GAMING CONSOLE REVIEW!!!

[@SimchaG613]

At 3:25, I should mention that Namco's games on NES already had the NAMCOT logo on them. It has nothing to do with copyright issues on the console.

[@mcphoney]

Wow didn't realise that. Great piece of info, thanks for letting us know! 👍

[@Hasiu89]

To be honest. I've bought that thing and it is not so terrible as I though. I've played many of those games as a child and now, after almost 30 years this little thing makes me happy again! And this price! So now guys, just buy IT! It's really awesome!

[@Memeboub]

Same and it's so lite

[@weeabooproductions2196]

I found it for 20$ in a vending machine

[@jrewing73]

I have three different ones now, myself! The first one I found at the Walmart Neighborhood Market last year for $9.99 and it has 200 games. The second one, I got on eBay this year for $1.00 and it has 268 games. I have one coming in tomorrow 4/24/2024 that I also won on eBay for $6.00 and it has 400 games! I'm 50 years old and absolutely love those things. They take me back to much better times. If they had been released back when the Nintendo console was, back in the 80's, all of us kids would have lost our minds!

[@LinuxLoader1287]

I think it's a piece of rubbish games freeze most of them are double ups (not 400 games as advertised) and some games still have chineese language despite choosing English anyone thinking of buying one save your money

[@183rdSnoop]

How do you actually charge it

[@XZAVRZIIED-ny6hj]

I just ordered 6. I’m a real life 80’s baby & love the old school games💯

[@johnnywebb4307]

Man you gave the best review I've seen in a long time. Completely unbiased. Amazing.

[@mcphoney]

Thank you! 💪

[@Omar_Little]

@@mcphoney Hi. Thanks for the video. But can this play gameboy games if I load the roms onto it? Also is there any capability to save game progress?

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

3:25 Namcot is the Asian console publishing arm of Namco during the 8-bit and 16-bit period. Look up Japanese Sega MD box art and compare it to western MD or Sega Genesis art. This is also true for Famicom vs NES boxes.

[@mcphoney]

Thank you, unfortunately this was a mistake on my behalf which I should of looked into further before hand! Much appreciated for the interesting info though! 👍

[@leefisher]

Mine arrived today. Looks great for £7. Well done on listing the games

[@mcphoney]

No problem! Hope you enjoy the nostalgia! 👌

[@OreFrubzz61]

I had both this one but blue , and a different model X7M that was designed like a offbrand Nintendo switch as well, which seemingly had 100 more games on the list promised. But boy were those lies , in total i counted about 300 unrepeated games on that thing , but that number goes even lower if you also remove hacks of games. Not only the gameboy-like version has 312 without repeats , a bit more than the X7M model version , but it also gets a better game selection.

[@taraskhan475]

man, I wish someone on youtube had a video about how to dowload more games onto this deevice, there is no informations on this!

[@ZiedKammoun]

U can't

[@taraskhan475]

@@ZiedKammoun oh, yeah i tried many ways, through the charging port and the video output, nothing worked, they are called unknown devices on my computer

[@telj1]

Open it up. It's probably an SD card inside

[@commanderveecock3985]

I’ve just bought this from AliExpress for £3.26 and that was the regular price! At that cost, I only need it to play a couple of games well to get my money’s worth!

[@ungratefulmango]

Hi mate, do you know if this thing has Donkey Kong? I've seen it listed in the menu, but I haven't seen anyone playing it. Was wondering if it had the original NES release of Donkey Kong

[@mcphoney]

@ungratefulmango So it does have Donkey Kong 1 and 2, I’ve also placed the full list of games in the video description! Hope it helps! 👌

[@leefisher]

Imagine how much this would have cost in 1985. A few hundred dollars/pounds!

[@arthurleal2674]

just paid $21.98 on amazon. NEVER had one. rather delicate n remote only seems to work for PLAYER 2 only. some games are duplicates. Maybe later but a better brand.tks for video Mr.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

Where you get that famicom controller from? 😮

[@mcphoney]

It unfortunately is just a cheap one that comes with the console. But it doesn’t work properly.

[@NinoRabbit]

​@@mcphoney it only works for player 2

[@TuPhonez4Free]

Basically a mini Gameboy with nes classics and arcades 😂😊

[@Chrisgod3]

What arcade games are on it

[@leefisher]

@@Chrisgod3 They're listed in the description for this video

[@trxsh.bxnnie]

honestly ive never owned a gameboy, always wished i did, so this seems great to me! i been playing for hours and having fun

[@fpvDRE]

had one of these for xmas great little retro toy 😁😁good review brother

[@Aaronator]

I have one of these. But it did not come with the controller. That isn't the issue. My issue is I always have to keep the charger plugged in to keep playing. I've noticed a little piece of plastic on the bottom of the battery itself. Should I remove that? Or keep it on? The red charging light is on when it's charging though. So I don't know if I'm supposed to take the small plastic off the battery or not... please help.

[@dasemanosadcrt2595]

Is it possible to save progress? Or you need to start all over every time?

[@mcphoney]

No saves I’m afraid. :-(

[@stephenward2631]

Does it have all the classics like super mario bros, Tetris ninja turtles etc.?

[@mcphoney]

Hi there, so it does have the first Super Mario Bros, Tetris 2 and Ninja turtles. But I’ve also placed the full list of games in the video description. 👌 Hope that helps!

[@andytan1613]

Does it have battery indicator? Or how long will it take to charge to full battery? Thanks!

[@mcphoney]

So I’m afraid it doesn’t have a battery indicator, just an led light on the side. However my one doesn’t seem to function properly to show when it’s charged! I just leave it for 60-90mins on charge and that’s more than enough! 👌

[@redentorcandelaria4400]

​@@mcphoney can you adjust brightness mine is too bright

[@kaylinkalijee2679]

The timer on Super Mario is ridiculously fast

[@alexmax9389]

[@laurajones5027]

I got this and can't get past the main screen. Says to choose 1 Chinese 2 English then says select and start and I can't get passed that screen. Tried to chose language and it just doesn't do anything. Only the arrows will work. Looked for reviews to see if there was something I'm missing but it just didn't work 😭

[@mcphoney]

Gutted, that does seem like some sort of fault I’m afraid. Can you return/exchange it?

[@GabrielGameplaySonicOFC]

You gotta press A 😐

[@laurajones5027]

@@GabrielGameplaySonicOFC none of the buttons work. Doesn't do anything. Only buttons that worked were the arrows. So it was faulty

[@laurajones5027]

@@mcphoney I received a refund in the end. I'll try and find another one

[@mcphoney]

Glad you got your money back! 🙌 Hopefully you can get one that actually works now! 🤞

[@taylor_DM86]

Are these full games or just a level or two?

[@plinsavi]

I actually don't have it yet, but I am pretty sure they are full games. It's just NES Roms, it would make no sense to be only a level or two.

[@mcphoney]

Although I havent played through every game yet, Im pretty confident they are the full versions! 👍

[@mcphoney]

Agreed! 👍

[@oggykilleredit7376]

Can we add our personal game on it like gba gbc and gb games

[@mcphoney]

Not as far as I know I’m afraid! Sorry!

[@resist4184]

Namcot 3:31 was Namco's previous name

[@gabrielaparicio5153]

Can't find chip and dale, other possible name please?

[@mcphoney]

It should be under "Chip Dale". Cant remember what number but its definitely on there! Ive just seen another video and the game is number 16 on the list. If not then maybe try near the end of the games list where they start repeating some of the same games. Sorry I cant be more precise but Im not at home at the moment to have a look on my console!

[@merryklanker5189]

We took off the initial screen protector and the screen has some serious bubbling. Is this part removable? There is no edge visible so I am afraid to try.

[@hightowergaming5301]

Screen potector? 😅

[@VISCA_BARCW]

What type of charger do you need because mine didn't come with a charger

[@mcphoney]

Ill dig mine out and have a look for you! (let you know tomorrow!)

[@Null--]

Just in case anyone is still wondering, it used a micro usb cable.

[@RyGuy0520]

I use a 5 volt 1 amp USB power supply with a Micro USB cable it works fine for me if you have a longer Micro USB cable you can play it while its charging!

[@lo7892]

So it's disappointing for $10 but it's good for $8? I'm confused. It's 3 inch screen because screens are measure from top right corner to bottom left corner or vice versa.

[@mcphoney]

Ha ha! You make a good point! Personally for me, £7 sounds a lot more of a bargain than £10. 💪 As for the screen, yep defo measured corner to corner…and it ain’t no 3inches. Btw got a video coming soon(ish) for the Miyoo Mini plus retro console. It’s more expensive but DEFINITELY worth it! 👌

[@DisgustingSky]

Is there a way to reduce the brightness. The brightness is too much for me :(

[@marvel.edits_5560]

What happens if the screen is just white and i can’t see anything

[@mcphoney]

That doesnt sound good, I presume a faulty product. Can you return/exchange it? Apologies for the late reply!
